We hear this expression often and it is usually about people agreeing that somebody should correct the broken immigration laws but nobody does.
The reason no one does is that the immigration laws are not broken; they are just not strictly enforced. Any act prohibited by legislation and not challenged doesn’t make the act legal.
Who supports the narrative that a law not followed or enforced is broken? Some feel the immigration law is in need of “reform” to make what is currently illegal legal. President Trumps tends to oppose this position and I tend to agree with my president.
All selections regarding posting are the result of decisions I've taken. I've done this without expert counseling and will just have to manage my mistakes.
I've taken your advice into consideration and have decided against it but I do want to thank you for your thoughtful critique.
WE PAY.
AND the hospital gets to write off the loss as a bad debt so THEY CUT THEIR TAXES TOO... Then doctors charge more to their patients with health insurance to cover what THEY lose on treating illegals...
Then the damn democrats pretend they have ‘compassion’ rather than the truth - they buy their ‘new voters’ off the backs of working Americans.
Step one:
Make Congress pay for their own health care just like the rest of us... NO SPECIAL DEALS FORM THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY THEY PROTECT - AND THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION - WHICH THEY ALSO PROTECT.
“Asylum laws are different than immigration laws.”
The illegals have learned to use the asylum laws to get into the USA.
Asylum laws are now effectively immigration laws.
Chain immigration needs reform.
One immigrant managed to get 72 relatives into the USA.
Point taken.
However, asylum seekers do not swim the Rio Grande to enter America, illegals do.
President Trump is aware of the asylum seekers fraudulent practice. He will now hold them rather than releasing them pending an investigation of their status.
Acting AG Whitaker made a statement the day or day after he became AG that anyone entering the US illegally cannot claim asylum. So if they don’t do it the right way through official ports of entry, no even making a claim of asylum for that person. Just back out the door.
Both the current immigration laws, the Bush proposals, the Gang of 7 proposal share the same flaw... they are written by lawyers for lawyers. The laws are not written for the wannabe immigrants. They are not written for the people already here.
The current situation is very corrupt. When a wannabe walks into the office and asks why the application is taking so long a sheet of paper is given the wannabe with a list of lawyers and immigration consultants. By coincidence everyone on that list is a business partner/family member of a bureaucrat or politician.
Money buys these teams of corrupt officials. The current system is not working. But how do you write a law that benefits the people and not the swamp?
A wall would greatly increase the practicality of enforcement.
