Yes we can keep them all out, or nearly all of them out if we only have the will to do so. There's nearly no way Africans can get here save for flying in with valid documentation. That could be remedied in a nanosecond if we had the proper leadership.
If we can't even keep them out of the country, how on earth do you figure we can get them all on your "cruise ship?"
You sound old enough to have acquired at least some degree of wisdom. From the way so many others here are responding to you, wouldn't you don't think you're being somewhat obtuse and actually taking away from what you have to add to the discussion?
“That could be remedied in a nanosecond if we had the proper leadership. “
OK....when I post a analysis, I do try to shorten it up and leave out a lot of what I think most people understand already.
The fact is that we do NOT have proper leadership. We have the power through Congress to direct the Presidents actions, but we have not been able to use that power with the Senate refusing to bring up bills, and Obama refusing to sign them.
We could tack legislation onto a budget or a funds request, but so far, most of those opportunities have been sidelined or failed. So legislatively speaking, we can’t do squat to either curb the visas or better yet, do what we did in the 40s, and take a pause by stopping all legal immigration while we sort out what we have here illegally. If I recall that pause lasted until the Kennedy admin.
So yeah, I understand the desire to do something, but nothing will get done like that as long as the rats have the presidency and the senate, unless we force them by tacking it on a funds request for ebola funding..or whatever.
But there will be a price to pay and our current republican leadership will not do that until the lame duck at the soonest. So you could try then...before the new Congress sits, or you can try after they sit..
But I am convinced they probably would not consider it. I think the quarantine idea might make more political sense to them. That is why I suggested it.
