Berdie is an owl, lol.

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.

There is no reason why it shouldn't. But you are right, it doesn't happen much and I appreciate it also.

Bedtime for Bonzo.

Have a good night.

What about those who were born here or been here for generations, who have paid their taxes, took no public assistance, but on the contrary, the government put's more and more burdens on them ?

“paid taxes”

Either they didn’t pay taxes and are guilty of tax evasion, or they paid taxes using somebody else’s SS# which is fraud, perjury, and identify theft. Americans who commit these crimes are imprisoned, yet foreigners should get a free pass for doing the same thing ? So even the people who were brought here as children began breaking the law of their own choice when they became adults.
