Amen and repeat.
If as a citizen I break the law, do I get all my violations forgiven? If I don't pay taxes, will the IRS waive MY fines? If I steal someone else's identity, will the judge eliminate MY jail sentence?
Why are noncitizens being held to a LOWER standard then citizens? As guests, they have even more of an obligation to obey the house rules.
Finally, why should anyone obey the law if it isn't impartially applied or is twisted to suit a select few after decades of being deliberately ignored? That's the main problem with Mexico, and we are following right in their corrupt footsteps.
Tell you what, if following the law is optional for the politicos and their cronies in DC, then so is my paying taxes.
The Pence plan is pure unadulterated ***impolite word***.
Gingrich likes the Pence immigration plan
6 Jun 06
Newt Gingrich gives kudos to the Mike Pence immigration reform plan in his latest Human Events column: One positive addition to the border-security and immigration debate is Rep. Mike Pence's (R-Ind.) bill, the Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act. This bill is as close to the right solution as I have seen. It sets up a four-step process starting with what is needed and universally agreed upon -- border security. Second, it does not provide amnesty for people in the United States illegally. It requires them to go home. Next, it sets up a work-visa program using electronic bio-metric security based on conservative market principles. After an American employer can, in good faith, show that no American worker will fill a job offer, a work-visa holder may be hired. The key feature is that, in order for people who are here illegally to get a work visa, they must go home, because work visas will only be issued outside of the United States. Fourth, once the program is set up, companies that continue to ignore the law will be sanctioned severely. I hope the House will take a serious look at Rep. Pence's thoughtful and pragmatic approach to solving this issue.
