"You can't change something that big over night, you have to make a gradual course correction over the course of years. It took decades to get this screwed up, it will likely take decades to fix."
Tagline...(Want to fix the health care and education systems overnight? Deport all illegals today.)
I'm getting mixed signals here.
No mixed signals. But I am a realist. What I would do if I was in charge and what I know is feasable and realistically possible are two different things. If I had it in my power I'd deport every stinking illegal tomorrow, and tell Americans to expect a 10% or so spike in some retail and produce items to compensate for higher wages required for non-illegal labor. I'd also put up a wall. A tall thick hard one, with barbed wire, and on our side of that, cameras, dogs, and large muscular uniformed Americans with large heavy guns that make very loud unpleasent sounds when fired. But I'm not in charge and even if I was I couldn't do all that in a day or a month or a year. Maybe ten years IF there wasn't an opposition party and RINOS that would oppose it. So I take what I can get, and what Bush said tonight is a lot better than what he's said about the border the past few years. So again, I say what I want to happen and what I know is possuble are not compatable. Doesn't mean I can't continue wanting it. It just means it won't happen. But I sure as heck know the democrats won't ever do it, and the Republicans are likely to hit closer to the mark than the libs ever will, so I vote Republican. In the mean time, if I had one wish, this would all be beside the point because there would be no problem. That clear up any perceived mixed signals? :)
