For answers, we need look no further than Alabama.
Both the Alabama and Arizona attempts to enforce illegal immigration laws have been admirable, imo. They have forced their illegals to flee...to other states. The Feds have stymied their attempts to have any impact..
It is a Federal obligation to enforce this law. I think we agree on that.
But unless the Feds come up with a plan that will actually be enforceable..I don't see that there will be an answer that most in this country will support.
IMHO, end the anchor babies, chain migration, benefits to illegals, enforce employer penalties=self deportation. But that would have to happen on a national level.
But if people have been here most of their lives, paid taxes, took no public assistance...perhaps there should be some assistance. Not blanket amnesty. Not citizenship.
I have appreciated our civil discourse.:) Doesn't happen often these days.
