By the way, Cain was the only one to give a straightforward, conservative answer on illegals ...return power to the states to deal with the issue (and we can see that it works), enforce the laws on the books, and secure the border.
We just fail to do each and every one, every time. Perhaps Cain would be the one to actually DO it.
Ok, so Jose decides to come here as a young man. Jose marries, works hard in a job, stays off welfare raises a nice family with kids who don’t get into trouble. Jose stays married. Jose learns all he can about America, studies up, passes the citizenship test with flying colors, and learns to speak and write English fluently — then GREAT. Jose can stay. But realistically — how many Jose’s are there really in this country?
However, Juan comes in spreading TB and/or chagas, refuses to learn English, takes welfare for himself and his three pregnant girlfriends while making money hand over fist under the table, commits petty crimes, drools and leers at women in the 7-11, drives drunk on the weekends without insurance after walking out of said 7-11 with a 12 pack of coronas, ends up in the ER due to some accident he caused or from falling off a ladder on his under the table construction job ... well, guys like Juan — and his girlfriends need to GO.
And how many Juans are there now in the U.S.?
I say just dry up the freaking benefits and the Juans would leave and the Jose’s would stay. Problem solved.
He's wrong as we see from Alabamas recent laws which have simply moved illegals into other states....it must be federal in nature and throughtout the nation.
