I know a few “undocumented” people here in the Austin, Texas area. Today one of them told me, “We are now going to be treated like the Jews in Nazi Germany.” After she calmed down, I told her that no one intends to round up all the “undocumented” (How I despise that word!) people, place them in concentration camps, and exterminate them.
I told her there are ways to come to the United States legally; that Donald Trump and Republicans love LEGAL immigrants; that the reason we need people to come here LEAGALLY is to prevent terrorists and other undesirable people coming here and harming citizens.
She said, “I don’t harm anyone.” I asked if the job she is doing could and should be done by an American citizen or an alien with permission to be here and work here. She walked off in a huff.
My advice to Mexico is to call your citizens back home and to stop them at the border as I expect the new immigration law will result in hefty penalties for ILLEGAL ALIENS up to an including being deported for life with no option to every legally set foot in the USA even as a tourist.
Should we give them a grace period to GTFO on their own?
