“MY question still remains about HOW to deal with those families who have been here for 25 years or more with children and grandchildren who are all Americans”
So your solution is to give mass-amnesty every 20 or 10 years?
Besides, what about those millions of people who still have family members out of country because they are (stupidly) waiting for legal opportunity to immigrate?
The only honest (and also, winning) approach for GOP nominee is this:
- absolutely no amnesty, legalization or whatever is the latest name for it
- build a fence (”shovel-ready jobs”). This protects us against illegals, drug-dealers, terrorists, and human trafficking. Let’s start with 200 miles/year.
- enforce current laws
- mandate e-verify
- support states in their enforcement laws
- get tough on foreign countries who support illegal entries: If Mexico enables and supports illegal entries, then no visas or trucks allowed anymore for Mexico.
Perry and Newt are the two totally unacceptable nominees. They should run for President of Mexico instead.
“So your solution is to give mass-amnesty every 20 or 10 years?”
WHERE in the world did you get THAT idea?
I also believe that I have made it clear that the border MUST be sealed immediately for any policy to be enforced.
I have 3 possible candidates still on my list:
Cain
Gingrich
Perry
(alphabetical order)
