First, it's not an immigration bill. It is a sanctioning of those who have broken the law, skipped the line that every legal immigrant must take, because of personal greed. It rewards those who cut the line, broke the law, because it's deemed too difficult to actually enforce the law to begin with. So why should they give a rat's buttocks about this newest law? Less than half, 40%, of the illegals in the United States eventually took advantage of the Reagan Amnesty. And that was after a fourth chance was offered to take advantage of it, and a considerable amount of the fees were waved.
Who should take this seriously? Every American who believes that you should follow the rules. Every American who is tired of every benefit being given to those who ignore the rules. It means calling everyone and telling them, NO, you won't put up with this bull droppings anymore.
Yes, we need control of our borders, but this won't control it. The next wave will be even larger. Here's the rule: Get to America, stay there, and eventually, you'll be offered citizenship. You don't even have to take advantage of it. I say no. What do you say?
In my post, which you quoted, I said, "Isn’t there a provision that punishes employers who hire illegals? If they can’t work, they may take this law seriously." You didn't answer that.
But more importantly, neither you nor most of the people talking about this bill, talk constuctively about fixing this problem. It is serious and getting worse. Here's a link to an article about Mexican drug dealers killing Mexican law enforcement officials.
WELL SAID!
