... but is anybody in either party working for your goals?

Of course there is. There is an immigration caucus in Congress that is seized with these issues. Steve King, Bilbray, Lamar Simth, Sen Sessions, Sen Vitter, and Sen Demint are engaged and informed. Sens Vitter, Boozman, Rand Paul, Mike Lee have co-sponsored a bill S 723 to eliminate birthright citizenship. There are plenty of other bills. There are hundreds of pieces of legislation at the state level addressing illegal immigration.

Hysterical. No informed and engaged. I know that you prefer to deal with emotion rather than facts. You fit in quite well in that regard with the Left. And whether you are interested in the facts or not, you will be affected by immigration now and in the future. Demography is destiny. Europe is wrestling with similar problems today.

Okay, I have some advice for you.

One, TMI. Too much information. You flood people with charts and statistics and our eyes glaze.

I agree with you on more points than you would imagine, but you go about it the wrong way. Keep it simple. Decide the most important first step in achieving your goal and figure out a way to accomplish it.

Don’t lay out dozens of goals. Start somewhere.

Don’t insult people who question you or disagree with you.

You’ve insulted me twice now. For some strange reason that does not sit well with people or win supporters.

Mexicans are poor and a drain on our welfare system but not because they don’t work. Most Mexican families have at least one worker, sometimes two. But they work at menial jobs which leave them with low enough incomes to get benefits, which under your plan they wouldn’t get, but like social security, this has to be phased out slowly.

The largest segment of society, the segment with the highest unemployment and which seems okay with that is the population we imported a couple of hundred years ago.

Not much we can do about that now, is there?

I do not prefer to deal with emotion. I am mean as a snake but I do prefer to deal with reality and what’s possible and what’s not.

I hope the Senators you mentioned are successful and I hope they are more tactful in presenting their ideas than you are.

Just a little help, if you want it.
