I prefer to deal with current reality rather than with speculation about the future.
A guess about what might happen in Mexico is curious, perhaps even cute, but worthless in the current divisive crisis.
We have to deal with between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens in our country right now. They believe that they have rights and they are screaming for them.
They have made the American taxpayers their serfs and aren't educated enough to realize that that is unacceptable.
That is our crisis today, the bleeding of our wealth and our will through exploding welfare in schools for these illegals, emergency hospitals in lieu of medical care... this is reality, not speculation.
And this is what needs to change now.
Hey, slow down. Ya don't have to sell me on our current problem. I live in CA. And while it's relevant, I don't want to wait 20 years. I don't even want a guest worker program until we sort out the current wave of folks. No amnesty either.
"They have made the American taxpayers their serfs and aren't educated enough to realize that that is unacceptable."
Well, if it's acceptable to us, why should they not take the presumption? It's an invasion, in a sense. Even if they ruin the US, it will still be infinitely better than Mexico. They don't care about us, and frankly, I don't see any reason why they should---especially if we don't care about ourselves.
"That is our crisis today, the bleeding of our wealth and our will through exploding welfare in schools for these illegals, emergency hospitals in lieu of medical care... this is reality, not speculation."
Agreed.
However, the majority of Americans are only slowly becoming aware of what is going on. What we need now is time. What we must do right now is defeat this legislation. I'm beginning to be comfortable with no legislation at all---much less dangerous in the short run than any legislation that is likely to pass. Give us time to get the message out to the American people.
