Just another betrayal of America in a very long list. Dare I say the “T Word?” The word rhymes with reason but is not reasonable — It is foul conduct most high. Treasonable conduct ought to have legal consequences. One such consequence is impeachment. Open borders will push people to demand harsh justice. ‘Nuff said.
Not one of you points out one of the crucial reasons illegal immigration is overlooked: the New Deal programs will have to be funded somehow! The birthrates of non-immigrant American females is at a non-replenishment rate; many illegal immigrants do pay into Social Security through fraudulent SSNs without ever becoming eligible for benefits; and the surplus money collected from overtaxtion via the payroll's FICA has already been spent (THERE IS NO LOCKBOX, IT'S AN ACCOUNTING GIMMICK!)
If you folks who care about border security would concentrate just a fraction of your energies to entitlement reform, showing similar outrage at the federal government, the single biggest economic factor [funding entitlements into the future] that causes our Representatives and Senators to "look the other way" at the immigration problem, might just fix itself.
So, the fact that none of you points this out is foul and shows a lack of understanding as to what the underlying motives are in this whole issue.
