I am not for amnesty, but seriously... Which candidate will unilaterally kick out ALL people who are here illegally? Heck, we can’t enforce the immigration laws we have. Yes. Newt’s plan is amnesty for some and that does not sit 100% well with me,but there has to be a way to slam the door that is our porous border and start deporting at least those foreigners who are breaking laws (I know... just them being here is illegal). You know,there are two easy stances to take on illegal immigration. One is to keep everything the way it is and do nothing,which will continue to bleed our resources,dilute what is left of our culture and leave a continued gaping hole in our security. The other simple stance is to say,kick them all out now. As good as that sounds,I don’t see it ever happening. The status quo is not acceptable. Maybe Newt’s plan is the kind of thought out plan that could actually work.
Nicely put.
See my posts 24 and 68 on this thread.
“...but there has to be a way to slam the door that is our porous border and start deporting at least those foreigners who are breaking laws.”
I guess what we have trouble understanding is why do we have to LEGALIZE huge numbers of Illegals to do either or both of the above?
What are we missing here?
Sounds like Hope & Change™ to me.
Seriously. Read Jim Rob's post at #24, if you want to see a workable solution.
We haven't even tried in over a half century, so perhaps we should actually start trying?
