The answer that Senator Craig and his ilk need to understand is quite simple:
#1 - America is at war.
#2 - Our current border situation constitutes a threat to our national security.
#3 - Begin deporting illegals TODAY. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll be finished.
#4 - Militarize the borders.
As an attention getter, announce that any individual or group attempting to smuggle drugs across our borders will be shot. Why?
See #1.
Be specific. Which cities' towers were brought down by Mexicans? Which illegal immigrants formed a militia and bombed Army vehicles on patrol?
#2 - Our current border situation constitutes a threat to our national security.
the threat has little to do with illegal immigration, and a lot to do with the war within Islam.
#3 - Begin deporting illegals TODAY. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll be finished.
Right. Torpedo the economy (there aren't enough people here to do the jobs that 11.5 million illegal immigrants are doing: have you seen the unemployment numbers recently? We need people. Badly.), it'll help us fight the war better if we can't afford it.
#4 - Militarize the borders.
Which means what? You're asking National Guardsmen to shoot women and children as they run across the border? That's plain stupid. Not to mention un-American.
Please add: #5 - And, by the way, "Anchor Babies" have been abolished.
mkjessup, you and the likes of the Tancredo's and Hayworth's have got my support!
"gub"...Thanks for the pings, they are appreciated!
The whole BS argument of "doing jobs Americans won't do" is getting tiresome. They're doing the jobs for the pay that Americans won't do them for. I've read that the costs of this illegal-underground workforce far outweigh the benefits and the cost is getting higher.
The reports coming out this week of Spanish speaking OTM's coming over the border should be the latest Wake-The-F-Up America alarm!
