Hey, as long as you're not hurting anyone else with your illegality, I support it. .
and if you think illegals are not hurting anybody, you need to do your own research. Don't listen to all these "economists" who are paid and owned by cheap labor lobby is a good start.
The very idea of any law is to apply all laws at all times equally across the board...Once selective enforcement enters the picture you have in effect committed a criminal act... There is a process in place for changing any law, be it revised up or down or even to be scrubbed....Nowhere is selective enforcement part of the process....
The issue is that simple....
I don't know who your calling "our." How am I at fault? Have I hired an illegal? Do I harbor them? Or sell them fake documentation? Do I encourage them to break the law? No. The fact is I am the typical U.S. middle-class citizen. I have no real say-so when it comes to how anything that our government does. I'm nothing more than a pawn. A tax-paying, hard-working pawn at that. So to blame me or others like me for the pure idiocy that comes out of Washington is crazy!
The fault lies directly with our politicians for not following the law, not enforcing the law, and not punishing the un-lawful to begin with. Deport them, because I for one am tired of paying for them when U.S. citizens are suffering. I'd rather my tax dollars go to ridding the country of them, and paying U.S. citizens to have the job of doing that than wasting my dollars on their education, health-care, food, shelter, cell-phones and all the other freebies that they'll soon be "entitled" to. You can call me selfish or heartless, I really don't care. Do you think they give a damn about us?
I am one of the hard working as well. Sometime 2 jobs, but I know why illegals are here, BIG money wants them to be here, regardless of the law. NOBODY will blame the "employers" It cost how much to deport them vs jail time for employers?? -- nobody including you, will touch them - employers bla bla
Cut out the ROOT- not the leaves on the tree!
You're right we need comprehensive immigration reform. Obama is trying to walk a fine line but will please very few. The conditions he proposes seem reasonable enough. However, our borders have been too porous for over 30 years and no one has done much of anything about it regardless of party. I could agree with some of his actions and thought he gave a decent speech, but ultimately Congress must act and work with the President. Serious action is needed.
You START the process and work through it--no matter long it takes. The "We can't deport them all" gets so OLD!! There is no time like the present.
A complete fence with a few layers of razor wire should help things nicely, too. Secure the border, militarize it--and start the deportation process.
Do not deport the illegal alien killers--execute them--one problem solved.
Once deportations have seriously started--and the border secured and militarized--have immigration reform in the category of stopping the abuse of "birthright" citizenship (at least one parent must be a US citizen), do away with free public education (overturn Plyler vs Doe) and make life as miserable as possible for both illegal aliens and those who employ them.
All nations are comprised of immigrants to a large extent. Heck, our "Native American" ancestors crossed the Bering Straight many centuries ago. I'm just looking at facts.
Look up native in Webster's. It's pretty succinct. We are not a nation of immigrants. Period.
There is limited power allowed to all Prez. Don't you think he has his own panel of constitutional attorneys? I believe he is one) trust me- nothing is done with out counting the cost... and I hate to say it the whole of DC needs to be replaced. not one left. but what he said, is like approving weed- it's already in heavy use!
Being a Constitutional attorney bears no count towards their actual respect for it.
and if you think illegals are not hurting anybody, you need to do your own research. Don't listen to all these "economists" who are paid and owned by cheap labor lobby is a good start.
Who gives a damn anymore. Let them suffer the consequences of their stupidity.
You know that, I know that but remember, they are grubers and will believe anything the dear leader says. It's like their under some damn trance.
