“Coming to America is a privelege, not a right. Let them wait in line like everyone else. “
In spite of his absurd overall proposals, wideawake is making one very valid point. 95% of those Mexicans (and many from all nations) will NEVER be able to come here legally because of the present 1 - 1.5 million cap on how many are allowed in under various programs. And that’s as it should be. The deliberate negligence of our politicians in DC has led to so little immigration law enforcement that some now act as if anyone who wants to come to the US and stay should be allowed to do so.
But unless we have open borders, 95% of those all over the world who’d like to come here will never be able to. The line (or number of places in that line) is pretty short in every nation, and only a fraction of those who get in line will ever get to the front of the line. Just reality.
So, the constant statements of “go home and get in line and come back legally” are empty statements. Only a fraction will ever be able to do that.
And that really seems to be bugging wideawake.
And that really seems to be bugging wideawake.
And if Wideawake values her US citizenship so little, wants to see her children or grandchildren grow up in a third world country or wishes to turn this country into nothing more than a sweatshop, she should find another country that she likes better.
All I have to say to her, again, about all the people who don't get to come here, is "Boo-freaking-hoo". We have the most generous immigration laws in the world, and I don't want the nation of my birth destroyed to satisfy her socialist fantasies. If she becomes upset because she'll never get to be queen of England, should the law, tradition and the world be changed to make her happy?
Wideawake needs to grow up, act like a big girl and realize the world will never measure up to the utopian fantasies she first envisioned as a Vassar Coed.
