I agree that whatever we finally do, those Mexicans are valuable in the sight of God and should be treated compassionately and humanely...even if the final decision is deportation.
I also think that any illegal who has long-established ties-- sons, daughters, grandkids -- in this country should be treated with great forebearance.
The correct answer is to close the border and then deal with those who are here on a case by case basis.
Deport 'em all ... and let God sort out their worth to him. That is none of our concern ... just as I doubt that God takes a proprietary interest in the nuts and bolts of how we run our country.Treat 'em compassionately and humanely? Sure. We should transport them back to Mexico seated in a bus --- rather than hiding under a dashboard, or locked in a trunk, or by making them run through the countryside like vermin, as they were when they entered this country. Beyond that ... well, there is no beyond that. They are Mexicans. Send 'em back to Mexico and make certain that they stay there.
I most definitely agree with that. It irritates me greatly that the President has repeatedly proffered the canard "those who call for mass deportations." There isn't anyone in the public eye calling for that. No one.
I also think that any illegal who has long-established ties-- sons, daughters, grandkids -- in this country should be treated with great forebearance.
I'm not sure what that would entail but I don't readily see a reason for that. What other laws should be applied based on what emotionally touching stories can be brought forward related to the perps? The IRS sure doesn't take anything like that into account. Apart from young hot blonde teachers who deflower their students I don't know of any regular practice of the law turning a blind eye to crime due to the personage involved.
