I want to see the border secured before we do anything else.
I don’t trust our lawmakers anymore. We did the amnesty thing before, and the promise was that they would secure the border. They didn’t, and now the problem is worse than it was before.
Secure the border. Enforce the law. Then we’ll talk. When new border jumpers have been reduced to near zero, we can talk about any special cases. Until then, I don’t trust anyone. If they can’t secure the border, how am I supposed to trust their ability to police this kind of law?
I agree. I’ll have a heart once the border is secure. Nothing until then. Once secure, we can decide who gets preferential treatment, who gets to jump through hoops for citizenship, and who goes back. Until then, you’re only throwing chum in the water.
