Something everyone on this thread seems ro have forgotten is that illegals come in all flavors. magritte, if osama bin laden had come here illegally 25 years ago with one of his trusty pregnant brides who gave birth here....
If congress would get their butts in gear nd end this anchor baby crap, a LOT of this problem would stop being a problem.
If Congress would get its butt in gear and mandate that ENGLISH is the law of the land, more of the problem would be solved. No more welfare forms in 19 different languages. Can’t speak, read, and write English, no job, no license, no vote, no school, no nothing.
I do not want to pick up the phone and call an AMERICAN company and be told to press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish. I do not want my tax payer dollars paying for translators for illegal felons who can’t speak English. If they are not American citizens, why are they entitled to OUR Constitutional rights? I don’t care what country they are from either. If they want a “fair” trial, make their HOME country pay for it. If they MUST be incarcerated here, let their own country pay for that too...and if they won’t, send the damn criminals to jail until they learn English, then try them. If they are terrorists, go straight to Gitmo, do not pass go. If you are an American citizen and you commit a terrorist act against this country, automatic loss of citizenship.
There are a lot of things we can do besides these.
I agree with many of your points, and that’s where the solution lies: IN CONGRESS. Any of the Presidential candidates will sign this kind of legislation if it is passed.
The President can secure the border and enforcing existing law. Deportation is a non-starter, so let’s fight this fight where is belongs, in the Congress.
I agree with you 100%.
