The “persecution” thing grabbed my attention, too.
We can’t forget that where these people come from there is no such thing as “the rule of law.” It’s all about power. That’s exactly why we can’t let these people have any significant presence in the United States UNTIL they are “domesticated” and accept our culture and values.
This bill was one more step toward ending the rule of law in our country, and making America just one more totalitarian regime.
You make some great points!
I heard one of the special reporters on Michael Savage the other day saying something similar - that letting in these third world people we wouldn’t change them as much as they’d change us. He has many examples of shocking corruption and many of these people just don’t know any better and aren’t likely to learn by being given handouts as rewards for illegal behavior.
Let’s face it, this was an attempt to buy votes or underscale labor. We can’t expect the targets of this to learn anything other than being an extortionist pays.
