I don’t mind if they are documented to work, and that is all they are documented to do. If, they do not take jobs that are at depressed wages because of employers taking advantage, or take jobs that citizens are denied opportunities to take.
This is all predicated on securing the Border, as well, so that we nab people who are avoiding all due process by ignoring a system that would lead to appropriate employment if they followed that system.
I’m not braindead on the issue with bumper sticker rant slogans.
We share an unbelievably long border with a basket case nation. If my family were starving and there was no work to support them, and all I had to do was step over a line so I could feed them, I would, and furthermore, you would.
If you say you would let them starve rather than step over a line and feed them, you lie.
Given that, and given the crying need to secure that line and control who comes and goes and why they are coming and going, let them work. As long as that work is also controlled so it doesn’t hurt citizens of the USA.
I don’t write this for you, I write this for others who do read our threads and are interested in these thoughts.
"FED UP!" -- by Rick Perry [forward by NEWT GINGRICH]
Rick Perry's book "almost came too late"
"I wish this book had never needed to be written.
It almost came too late.
America is recklessly accelerating toward economic disaster. Fed Up! may be the last warning sign to the danger that lies ahead.
Rick Perry, Texas governor for the past decade, is uniquely qualified to offer a firsthand perspective on why the United States—the most successful civilization in human history—is being threatened with economic collapse.
First Principles
Faith, freedom, and free enterprise are the pillars of a strong, safe, prosperous society. Rick knows that when these principles are protected, America succeeds, and when they are undermined, America fails. But the Left has a different belief. The Left believes that most people are not capable of pursuing happiness and that a strong centralized government is best able to provide for them. While claiming compassion for humanity, the Left's policies are destructive to the human beings subject to them—as we have had to learn painfully again and again.
The Left's self-serving solution to every crisis, economic or otherwise, and many of their own doing, is always the same: inflict higher taxes on Americans to create more government programs with more rules and regulations that result in less freedom, less innovation, less safety, and less prosperity.
The problem with the Left’s one solution, as Rick forcefully explains in the pages that follow, is that it doesn't work. It's never worked, and it never will work. The record shows it.
But what the record also shows is that when power and freedom are returned to the people, when people are rewarded for work, and when government holds the line on spending, individuals and opportunity thrive. We have seen that result most spectacularly recently in Texas, and in the mid-1990s with the Contract with America Congress, when I served as Speaker of the House.....
