The heritage I have is a country that has always welcomed newcomers. And then assimilated them into the "American" culture. What's the problem with keeping that heritage?
My main point is that the option of deporting 10 million people is not an option. It will never happen politically, not because the left has the ability to stop it, but because not even the right wants it enough to fight for it.
So if we're not going to deport all those people, what is the next best thing? I think some combination of carrot (a guest worker program of some kind) and stick (border enforcement and employer/employee sanctions) is the answer. The goal should be to make it easier for a foreign worker to work legally, than illegally. They *are* going to work, so let's bring them into the system somehow.
For those that stay, we should insist they learn English, and study US history in school to complete the assimilation into the "American" culture.
Where am I going wrong?
You keep neglecting/ignoring/forgetting a word here...let me help.
The heritage I have is a country that has always welcomed newcomers ILLEGALS. And then assimilated segregated them into the "American" isolated Ghetto-ized culture. What's the problem with keeping that heritage?
You OBL-ers do your DAMNDEST to avoid the stinking Elephant carcass in the room that is ILLEGAL INFILTRATION!
You euphemize, and pander, and race-bait your way around it, but you always end up at the point of legalizing Illegal behaviour, and REWARDING it!
THAT is an Amnesty...and you know it. And as you point out...
My main point is that the option of deporting 10 million people is not an option
...so what makes you think that they will leave WILLINGLY under McStain/Kennedy or Kyl/Cornyn? The ONLY way to get rid of them is the way I posted before...make it SO uncomfortable, and do NOT allow them access to what American Citizens have access to like Free Medical Care and Edjumikashun and Welfare...and tax/confiscate their ILLEGALLY gained assets, and tax all their wire-funds back home, to a level of 100% for anyone here ILLEGALLY....they will go HOME!
This is not true and stop trying to make us believe we have to assimilate them. They are the ones who need to assimilate into our culture. They don't. Your true colors (red,green and white) are showing.
