As XJarhead said above:
"I'm not saying that amnesty standing alone is desireable. I'm saying that if granting amnesty to some of the ones already here is the political compromise we have to make to get the needed votes on tightening up the border, that's better than the status quo.
All this "no amnesty under any circumstances" stuff is just childish foot stamping. If the bill we want doesn't have the votes, it doesn't have the votes. That's reality. Whining and taking our ball home isn't going to help anyone. All the folks who insist on no compromise may kill our chances to fix this problem."
Amnesty will create 12 million unemployable hispanics - how is that a solution to anything?
You're assuming a static model. Politics doesn't work that way, especially when politicians are going so headstrong against the will of the people.
What "problem" will this wretched bill address?
Too many taxpayers, and not enough tax-eaters?
Too many highly-skilled, well-educated, native-born workers in our economy?
Not enough potential for domestic terrorist attacks?
Not enough people incarcerated in federal and state penetentiaries?
Property taxes too damn low?
What the hell are you talking about?
Let me be clear.
I am for enforcement first!
All the paths to citizenship and the like, need to be put on the back burner until our borders are sealed and our laws are enforced.
