We have a border or we do not. If we do not enforce our border laws to the fullest extent then we are not a nation at all. How is it that we accept laws to ‘assist’ people who are not even LEGALLY here? Do you find this acceptable?
Yes or no?
I don't know what I think we should do with the people who have been living here in America. Contrary to what you must think, I don't have all the answers to the world's pondering, and I don't have the answer to this either. I don't know.
I know Texas has no legal right to deport. I know I don't want displaced people all over Texas making it as unsafe here as it is in Mexico. I believe it is unfair to ask Texas to build thousands of prisons all throughout Texas and have to pay for the costs of taking care of thousands to millions of people that our federal government let waltz on in to begin with. (Actually, come to think of it, I don't think we could even arrest people or put them in jail anyway since citizenship is established, defended, and structured under federal law and not local law. Well, we don't even have THAT option probably, I would not guess.)
I know we have a Constitutionally-mandated process for determining actually who IS legal and who is NOT legal. I know we have a Constitutional process for immigration, citizenship, and for deportation. And I know I do NOT like the Deputy-Dog plans that people try to toss off as "deportation".
However... What do I think about what states HAVE done? What do I think about what states are considering? I do not know. I can not answer you any better than that. I do not know.
Wish I had a black and white answer for you. I don't.
I will tell you though, that if we do not get back to our founding fathers vision of government and begin - from this point on - to rebuild and restore what we have lost, however it is that we do that, we are going to miss out on the blessings we could have had otherwise.
