Pelosi needs to explain exactly what she means by "comprehensive immigration reform."
Reform should be a two step process where the first step is to secure our borders to stop the influx of illegal immigrants. This influx was greatly increased by the immigration reform and amnesty given in 1987, to the extent that we now have 20 million illegals vs. 2 million. Stop the leak before you bail out the ship!
The second step in immigration reform is to gather up and deport all the criminals and terrorists now in this country. Another part of this step is to come up with a compassionate and fair plan to deal with the hard working, tax paying illegals who are contributing to our economy, but that is fair to those legal immigrants.
Please explain how you are going to do this, Nancy, in plain English.
1. Build a fence across the southern border.
2. Eliminate birthright citizenship.
3. Deport illegals as they are caught.
4. Stop federal funding of any governmental unit,state, county, or municipal, that refuses to cooperate.
5. Cut back all legal immigration, except on a case-by-case basis for which NO American can be hired AT ANY PRICE for a minimum of 10 years.
6. Let families reunite in their country of origin.
7. Accept no more refugees. 8. Eliminate all benefits to immigrants, all immigrants, with a 2 year delay before new citizen's are entitled to any benefits after they become citizens. 9. All governmental business must be conducted in English. Translators must be paid for by the immigrant.
