I like Fred and middle ground must be found on the issue. Just my opinion. The Border Must be sealed FIRST then the people that are here can work out some kind of FINE to get in line for citizenship.
A. How could any true conservative like Barnes? This is a guy who writes a book essentially bragging about Bush being a "rebel" because he's a big spending, big government "conservative."
B. People who don't respect our laws must be deported, and NOT allowed to return. Sorry, but a fine is just an implicit bribe.
If you think 'middle ground' needs to be found you better spend some time in southern California to see what happens. This is ground zero for the Reagan amnesty of 1986.
In 10 years time north Orange County went from Bob Dornan to Loretta Sanchez. From Reagan Republican to Clinton Democrat. Is that the sort of middle ground you can live with?
Really? Just what do you think an American citizenship should be sold for? A thousand? Two thousand? Gee, the blood of our forefathers is going pretty cheap these days.
Think we ought to set up booths outside prisons and tell violent criminals if they break the law all they have to do is pay a fine and we'll let them out?
Mexico also needs to be put on notice: Failure too control you rpopulation will result in annexation of the Northern Tier of Mexican states.
