With rights come responsibilities.
Let’s re-instate a draft, and then watch as these “children of undocumented
immigrants” mysteriously disappear when something is asked of them. I and my family either have served, are serving, or are willing to die defending our country. We have a vested interest, we all have jobs,we work, we pay taxes and raise our families.
If someone wants something from the Gov’t; I say that they should be also willing to sacrifice for the sake of our country and Gov’t - and that sacrifice may mean time spent in a foreign land, being wounded or making the ultimate sacrifice.
Unfortunately, I would bet you a steak dinner at the restaurant of your choice, that many of these so-called friends would sneak back across the border if asked to protect this country they so desperately want to live off of. Let’s call them what they are - parasites.
If they are willing to serve a tour of duty, the same as any of our bravest and best - by all means, move them to the front of the line and grant them citizenship the day they have completed their first tour. If not - they need to go home.
I agree with your post outright.
I do think that a great majority would indeed return to where they came fomr rather than defedn, but to those who would put their life on the line for American freedom, I must say that I would be in favor of granting citizenship to them.
Honestly, to me that is a fantastic idea.
