it all comes down to the amnesty - that's the part of this that is so objectionable. are we going to have a blanket amnesty, administered under the cover of this specious "you've been here 2 years, right?" rule. or are we going to have some discincentives in the system to encourage those currently here, to return home.
I think we're going to start putting more people on the border; the articles you've probably seen regarding the Pentagon getting involved makes that likely. That's a good first step.
Stopping catch and release. That's a good second step.
Sending 6 million back under Bush's watch? That's a huge number and I'd be willing to bet no other president has done as well sending people back as this president.
Also, the requirement that they learn the language is vital and a good step.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it's moving in the right direction and the thread jumpers whipping everyone into a frenzy over an issue that isn't easily solvable is really hurting the forum and the movement.
Let's get back to activism and calling/writing our Congressmen.
