“Maybe I can help a bit here.”
“Consider the following. I have a crappy $50k job here in the states. However, if I go to Germany, I can work there for $250k per year, tax free. But I would be illegal there, subject to arrest and deportation.”
But that wasn’t going to happen, really, because you were there when they granted amnesty...ley’s say, sometime in the ‘80s.
But........suppose you loved it there and wanted to be live there. A lot of others did the sam thing...it was like gambling at Rick’s American Club. You had kids and they practically became German, even joined the army. You married a German girl. 25 years later they came to put you on a truck to send you back to who knows what. Your life is there.
Now what?
That was what was being so loosely bandied about. Let’s compare apples to apples, shall we?
You paint the exact same picture of illegals as do the radical leftists at DU. It’s always this idyllic, idealistic image of great Americans who just happen to have been illegal so many years ago nobody cares any more.
The truth is so different. Illegals are a scourge here. They suck up services, close down entire hospitals, shove anti-American pro-Raza propaganda down our kids’ throats and wave their Mexican flags. You can’t grant legality to just those few illegals that fit your rainbows and unicorns description. As soon as you say ‘25 yrs’, magically they’ve ALL been here 25 yrs. We can’t prove they haven’t been. And this includes the reconquista movement, which is strong in many states. It is a prescription for disaster...as a conservative, I would think you’d care.
I guess that I’m just “heartless” then...I simply refuge to have ANY SYMPATHY for these people because I know what will follow:
1) 25 years becomes 20 becomes 12 becomes 5 years.
2) Having roots in the US becomes showing a water bill
3) 12 million people become 30 million due to undercounting
4) 30 million becomes 60 million as families are brought North
5) The Supreme Court refuses to permit 15% of legal Americans to be non-voters.
6) The Republican Party is finished as a major political party simply due to demographics involving voting patterns.
7) The United States, as it was known for 235 years is FINISHED, and we become a country that wants to be like Europe, but wind up more like Mexico.
Since I have kids, I don’t want that outcome. It will take about 20 years for this country to cease. There is a reason that I am “heartless” and want them back. For if they go home, none of the above happens...at least for a couple of generations, at least.
Newt may be the smartest man in the room, but he should take some time to learn demographics...because demographics determines destiny, ALWAYS.
