I know you want believe this, and I know you’ll misinterpret my motives, but I’m going to say it anyway. Number 2 will NEVER EVER happen. It just won’t. It’s not possible to make it happen, even if most Americans were for it, and most are not for it. I’m not saying I like it, I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but I am saying this: If we split over item 2, we will insure that the party who will NEVER EVER DO ITEM 1 will stay in power forever, and NOTHING will ever get done.
I know you’ll come back with some purist self righteous holier than thou bullsh-t about what I must be thinking or who I must be secretly supporting or what my agenda is....but my agenda is only one thing: solving the problem, and item 2 is about a million times harder than you think it is and just is not in the cards. Again, that’s not a good thing, but it’s the truth.
Again with the personal attacks.
The two of us are closer to agreement than you might want to believe. I, too, want to solve the problem; but that solution cannot include letting people who came here illegally to remain—That will devastate the country.
I think I demonstrated that I’m a reasonable guy by agreeing to closing our borders as the Number 1 objective.
Concerning what is now item Number 2, the government is doing NOTHING to apprehend and deport those who are in our country illegally. You might recall the DOJ even initiated a lawsuit against the sovereign State of Arizona for trying to enforce immigration laws that are already on the books—Something about states not being able to horn-in on the fed’s turf. Selective enforcement, or non-enforcement, of laws—Why have laws at all, then?
