Yes I read the proposal. I didn't see one word about health and not one word about English only though any ILLEGAL ("willing worker") choosing to pursue citizenship would be expected to know something about America. It used to be that way until politician pukes stopped enforcing the requirement. Big deal that they should ask for it now.
It is maddening to see the President mix LEGAL immigrants in with ILLEGAL! I have sponsored immigrants. I know the medical and background checks, the financial responsibilities, the waiting -- all this was before today's mess. We were lucky.
I read the proposal. So? Those who "do not follow the rules of the program, or who break the law will not be eligible for continued participation and will be required to return to their home." I've heard it before! I remember the promises and big talk back in 1986. Let's have proof before there are new laws. Enforce current laws to the max possible. Then we'll talk about new laws. Trust but verify.
Here in California we are likely to have a shot at passing Prop 187 this year, again! So here is the solution. Let each state decide. Let the federal government be forced to decide, who are they going to support? U.S. citizens or ILLEGAL aliens from all over the world.
Showdown time. It don't git no simpler.
We don't need troops on the borders. We need elected leaders who are NOT LIARS and who will enforce the laws in the interior as well as the borders.
