Exactly. I hate all these idiots who think that the first thing we have to do is decide what to do with the illegals already here. First plug the leak. Then bail the boat.
Yep, and to make the water run out faster fine the crap out of employers. Otherwise, we are converting the country to a third world swamp.
That's the ticket. To use another metaphor, we can continue to swat mosquitos or we can drain the swamp.
Note that the current debate emphacizes an amnesty program (that's what it is, though they can call it a `Guest Worker' program, or whatever they like) for current Mexican nationals in our country breaking our law.
So how much have you heard about `enforcement', or stopping future Mexicans? Three million in `86 (probably amazed that they were pardoned, rather than `booted'); twenty years later, 11 million. In twenty more years?
Build real walls or fences at their favorite crossing places, then the Border Patrol--now known as `The Welcome Wagon: Bienvenidos!'--can be expected to do its job.
Exactly correct, sue any congresscriter who votes amnesty ahead of enforcing laws already on the books and build that huge fence. Hell, I would even support a special tax directed at building that wall o keep out the invasion.
I often wonder how easy it really is for these invaders to actually go back and forth. Do you think Mexico really wants them back?
