Dem Party has gone insane. Their new position is that it's immoral to restrict any kind of immigration, from any country, in any amount, for any reason. Even enforcing our existing laws, the ones they voted for & passed in Congress, is tantamount to a hate crime. This is our country, not anyone elses, we should have the right to say no, we do not need more poor people, we do not need people from questionable dysfunctional countries. When we accepted all these migrants during the industrial age we had plenty of working class jobs, we made sure that the people would assimilate, we didn't have any welfare programs. Bringing people in from Somalia, makes absolutely no sense.
Serious case of you misunderstanding what you are reading.
Democrats and others (some Republicans too -- oh my) do believe it is inappropriate to target someone for their religion or race.
That does not equate to the new position that it is immoral to restrict any kind of immigration....etc.....
There is no logical path to that conclusion.
There is an emotionally charged, triggered rant but no logical path to your conclusion.
You are entitled to your emotional opinion. Can't deny that.
The Democrats don't want the wall, duh, and they don't want DACA because that's what they want to run on in 2018.
Crack-smoking idiots.
I don't know. Once Democrats get DACA, they'll proffer expanding DACA to every 5th cousin of DACA abroad and the legalization of every other illegal in the US 12-30 million.
Apparently you haven't been listening to the leaders of the Democratic party.
They have gone way off the rails on immigration and that's pretty obvious. Pelosi today referred to a plan to secure the border and legalize upwards of 2 million illegals a "White supremacist" "Make America white again" plan.
Pelosi is suffering from dementia but no one is proposing what was claimed.
Its a pipe dream. I agree in a perfect world or at least perfect America it would be great to get all illegals out. But you have to be a simpleton to think it can actually be pulled off without causing more pain that its worth.
Get the wall paid for. Give the DACA kids a break and root out the illegals that are here. That is doable. What you want won't happen and we will be back at square one like we have been for 30 years.
What pain for Americans would occur by mandating e-verify, building the wall and deporting illegal aliens as they make themselves known? I don't know what other plan of mine you are talking about that you disagree with.
Legalizing the DACAs is what would cause this country pain. There are between 800,000 to 3 million or more here and they'd be in direct competition for jobs and resources against Americans. They are also of the child bearing age so you can at least double the number of people added to our population growth permanently. They are also demanding that their parents be allowed to remain here. If that happens guess how many more will be added to our population growth permanently? No, they need to return to their homelands along with their parents and apply to come back legally and within our annual quotas for legal immigration.
E-verify is good. But I know first hand accounts of lots of illegals working under the table for cash all over the country. They are working for large chains and smaller businesses. Even at places that have e-verify. And they don't even need a fake id. You are assuming everyone is paid on the books but that not at all the reality.
I have never claimed or made such an assumption. I am well aware that many illegals are working off the books. Mandating e-verify in every workplace with stiff fines for non-compliance would still go a long ways in discouraging employers from hiring illegal aliens, period! What's your solution? Just throw in the towel and do nothing? Of course it won't end the greedy hiring practices altogether but the point is to stop as much as we can. Same thing goes for the wall. It won't stop illegal aliens altogether from entering but it will go a long ways in deterring a lot of them.
"But in a sign of how fraught the prospects for an immigration deal remain, the proposal was met with disdain from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as well as members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus."
And that "citizenship" could take up to 12 years, which the Dems need votes before that for darn sure! Plus the $25 billion for securing the border, and terminating the ability of US citizens to petition for permanent legal residency green cards for parents and siblings, limiting family visas to spouses and minor children. So jumping up and down about this will only waste one's energy. They are still VERY, VERY far from any deal and the clock on DACA is going tick, tick, tick........
It appears that the Dems really don't care about those under the DACA program at all, unless it is a means to continue to the flow of future voters, and I have yet to see a plan suggested that would that. Gee, between the Schumer shutdown and Dems opposing a deal like this that even some Republicans don't want (me included), well, bring on the mid-terms.
