Luis Gutierrez: Obama can ‘heal’ undocumented

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has the power to “heal” undocumented immigrants.

“If [Republicans] want to come back and discuss [reform], fine,” the Illinois Democrat said on MSNBC. “But in the interim period, I believe the president of the United States has already in statute, in the law, the ability to heal and put in a safe harbor millions of undocumented immigrants while the Congress of the United States finally decides it’s going to take action.”

The schools have no choice when it comes to providing K-12 education. The Supreme Court made that mandatory with Plyler vs Doe in 1982. In Fairfax County, Virginia they pay $104 million a year for ESOL instruction for 31,000 students.

*******

That 1982 Supreme Court ruling above is the reason we need Constitutional amendments like the following to try to control illegal immigration:

1. "School attendance: Only citizens, legal residents, those with special student visas can attend elementary, high school, and colleges in the United States."

2. "One parent must be a citizen before a newborn child is given automatic citizenship."

3. Felony: We must finally declare that crossing the border illegally is a felony.

Illegal parents come to the United States for the wonderful benefits that their children can receive, like a quality education and great health care. Can you blame them for making the dangerous, long trip with their young children, or sending their children by themselves with the hope that the United States will automatically let them stay?

I don't understand how a child can illegally cross the southern border one day and automatically be eligible to enroll in public school the next day. That is wrong.

I think the real amednment we need is one that just plain ends the welfare system as we have come to know it. We need to end welfare. period. It will take a second civil war to accomplish it but unless it happens, this socialist cancer will turn the free and working people of America into slaves.
