First of all, there has been no “open invitation”. There has been a lack of political courage and to some extent resources to control illegal immigration, but the fact that these illegals make dangerous crossings, through deserts, often having to pay a coyote a large sum of money to smuggle them in shows that there is no invitation.
Of course there are a certain public officials, businesses and percentage of Americans who have aided and abetted this illegal invasion, but that in no way excuses the illegal activities of illegal aliens, that cause such great harm to the people of our nation.
If a bank teller or security guard takes some cash to assist in a bank robbery, does that mean the bank robbers shouldn’t be punished?
Your grandmother and kids who have never seen Mexico story, is very touching (/sarc) but it is not my problem or my fault, nor the problem or fault of the American taxpayers who are having their wealth and quality of life and children’s futures destroyed by these invaders.
Because these illegals have profitted from their crimes for years, we are some how required to allow them to continue to do so?
Your answer to weak enforcement of immigration laws seems to be “even weaker enforcement”.
I’m all for prosecuting and taking other legal action against the businesses on others that have encouraged and enabled illegal immigration, but the illegals themselves must deported.
Come now, California and the nation could not be seen for all the cash they were rolling in thirty, forty years ago.
It took NO courage of cash when your Federal agents and big business, small business and residents deigned to sign off on employing the illegal housekeeper, nanny and gardener, the field laborers, all knowing full well that enforcement was non-existant and of course that it was acting as a magnet for Mexicans in poverty to answer the clarion call to come, to come and boost our economy and our Anglo contracepted population dwindle.
Thirty, forty years ago there was the wetback who had no need for a coyotte. If he could survive the physical hardship and the river, he and his were in like flint. Those who were around then know it, because they saw it and participated in it. Openly.
Let’s address an evenhanded prescription. Prison for the perpetrators as we yowl for mass deportations for the illegal who answered their call. Neither are going to happen, but for the sake of argument it would recognize the cause for the problem for what it was, rather than dwell on the effect and its results.
Great posts. I wish you were running for President.
