Just now hearing your plan.
1- Secure border. Excellent and necessary.
2- Separarate good illegals from bad. Definitely need to prioritze the search. The "illegal" illegals need to go like yesterday. Especially the gangs.
3- Make good illegals citizens through improved testing. Totally disagree. These Hispanic illegals came here, not for freedom, but for economic gain. They, in many instances, can't even fake patriotism for America. People searching for freedom will give their lives for it. My hat is off to the immigrants who have achieved citizenship through the military. But, most of those who come here, come to simply make more money and will leave in droves when war or economic distress threatens them. Citizenship is a privilege that should be earned and bestowed on those who bring skills and a desire to be Americans. To give citizenship to illegals is an insult to those who have followed the rules and further sets an unacceptable precedent.
It is not necessary to deport every illegal. But, they can be denied ANY chance at citizenship if they are found to be here. If they go back to Mexico and get in line, no penalty. But, if they stay here, all US benefits need to cease and the only thing they will recieve is the illegal pay that they are earning.
Do not cave to extortion, simply because the mountain looks too tall to climb
Congratulations!
Needs to be repeated, again, and again, and again...
Great post Fox, Tony just read it on the air.
I was reading your post at the same time Tony was doing so.
You hit the nail on the head here, Fox!
Oh, and good morning! ;>)
No matter what kind of legislation is passed, I fear that when it comes time to implement it, the lawmakers will become squishy and we will be back to square one. At some point it won't matter because we will be outnumbered.
As a side note here: Let's increase the waiting/processing time necessary to become a US citizen.
We have to slow down this fast-track process.
