I have Iroquois Nation Mohawk blood - I understand your point completely. I am just as furious with the toothless way we deal with immigration issues closer to home - South AND North alike. Those who are here illegally should be repatriated post haste - no exceptions.
I also think we need to be more even handed with how we “apply” the law and not single out any one particular group for removal. Drug lords and their minions are a curse and a cancer in this country and must be discouraged from bringing their poison here to kill us. Terrorists and terrorist wannbes(like this young person who tried to bomb several thousand innocent civilians into oblivion in Portland, Oregon) should be removed as quickly as possible. We should not have to bear the cost of imprisoning them. Having to pay for trials is costly enough.
Radical Islamists have declared war us personally - on our way of life and our beliefs. Their aim is to impose their Sharia laws on us all(like it or not), to wipe all Jews off the globe and anyone who supports them (that means the USA) and they don’t give a hoot how they do it, just so we all suffer and die - or convert to Islam. I don’t buy this “religion of peace” lie, not for one minute. The sooner we close our borders and ship all the miscreants (regardless of origin) who mean us ill back to where they came from, the sooner we can regain the freedom our troops died to preserve for us and our progeny, and that we lost by our lack of vigilance.
And one more thought: giving foreign criminals the same “rights” and citizens is really devaluing our citizenship.
So we understand what the problem is, but how do we go about implementing strategies to solve this. I feel too often we, on both sides (Republican and Democrat) will have their opinions on a situation, but we don’t actually ever find a means to compromise or go about solving the issues. This has been the situation regardless of who is in office.
I believe in stronger borders and stronger security. I believe America, this beautiful country can stand up to protect itself once again. The question is how? What would be a plan where we can do this? Write Congress, continually vote for the people we believe in? The motion to actually follow through and provide stronger security by creating stronger borders probably still won’t be enforced. We’ve been discussing illegal immigration for years and the fence is still not built. We may have security when we take a flight somewhere, but it took the largest terrorism attack in our nation to do so.
Any suggestions on how to actually go about implementing the strategy we believe in?
