“Pollster Scott Rasmussen reports that voters aren’t dead set against legalizing current illegals. But they must be convinced first that this time, border security is for real”
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
What is right...what is wrong with that atatement?
While it is true that Sennator Ted Kennedy and Senator Lindsey Graham amd Senator John McClain and a few other Amwericans are “voters (who) aren’t dead set against legalizing current illegals”, there are about 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers who ARE dead set against legalizing current (and future) illegal aliens....
About convincing the 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers that “border security is for real” (whatever THAT is suppose to mean), why are the borders not closed to illegal aliens anyway...whether or not the illegal aliens are granted AMNESTY...
Hey you never know...Maybe the 200,000,000 American citizen tax-payers will think that national and border security is important to the members of the Senate and the House...and that illegal aliens will finally be treated as such...illegal...
Actually that describes me quite well. I know that due to the extended period of non-enforcement of our immigration laws that there are a large number of people who will probably need to be legalized. For these people legalization is the simplist and quickest way to straighten out their status. My off the cuff estimate with little to know data is 1-3 million.
On to point two, exactly how does this bill and/or the conduct of our government persuade me that there will be enforcement of immigrations laws? Factoids like the number of companies fined for no match Social Security numbers only convince me that there will be no enforcement.
To start convincing me that they are serious about enforcement: complete the border fence; repeated, frequent raids on employers with no-match Social Security numbers for their employees; no catch and release; etc.
