Correct.
Some estimates are 30 million.
Instead of continuing this parade of pandering, offering amnesty, and selling citizenship we should be enforcing our borders and laws.
Those who were paid and delegated to protect our borders should be held responsible and made example of.
This bill stinks and so does the status quo.
Illegal aliens need to be deported. It can readily be done by direct and indirect means. Eisenhower deported large numbers. It is absurd to wave the white flag, as many politicians are doing, when this country is being invaded. Our biggest threat is not from Iraq but from our own politicians, open borders, and the illegal aliens who have infiltrated this country.
Here you have touched on the true dilemma; within its framework lies a skeleton of inertia borne down by the sheer mass of the problem.
This horrid bill, all 10Billion pages of it is simply the rug on the dirt floor.
It ain’t going to get better; it can’t get better; there is no political will left.
Name me one sitting politician who doesn’t want a brand-new voter added to his list.
“What happens if we do crush this bill? They are still in power! 20 million still here! We already have one foot of the cliff and we are now in the middle of lifting the other...”
The point is that right now it’s epidemic. Not stopping the bill ensure the problem become pandemic. I do not think it feasibly possible to deport 20 million people. I do however, think it is possible to build the 700 mile fence, deploy 20,000 national guard and border agents to patrol the fence and elect officials whom will support the rule of law about entering and living in our country.
Theodore Roosevelt warned, “The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.”
