The disconnect between average Americans and the elite ruling class on the immigration issue is that, at least personally, I don’t really care to provide legal status to the guy who cuts John Kerry’s lawn or the woman who provides day care for the local newspaper editor's children.
The idea that Congress can pass along another unfunded mandate to legalize illegal immigration is unacceptable. As malaria, tuberculosis, and other third-world health care problems make a comeback in this country, we may want to re-think the idea that we want the bottom of the educational scale coming here to work the lowest paying jobs and use our social services to the point where there is no room or budget for Americans.
Might I please add THIS to the middle of your sentence?...
The idea that Congress can pass along another unfunded mandate to legalize illegal immigration and create another victim society for the Dems to draw votes from and provide the Republicans with a cheap labor force is unacceptable.
When will US citizens and gov. wake up to the fact that we are allowing broke,illiterate,welfare seeking individuals(which the world is full of and we can not take them all) who bankrupt social systems, hospitals strain police, fire etc.,destroy communities, to live here instead of those that could truly help the country. We have no control of our immigration and we break US law by allowing it!
Sooner or later we have to realize that most of the world is full of billions of economic refugees that would give anything to come to the US. If we try and bring them all here we can easily destroy the country, then we help no one.
The benevolent thing to do is to try and help each country seek it's own form of capitalism when they ask our help.
Beyond that we help no one.
The far East and Europe are full of great minds that would give anything to come here yet we allow would be welfare gamesters to walk across an unsecured border instead. My question is.... why?
