You support “obeying the law”. But that is no answer. Do you support KILLING people who break that law?
I live in Virginia, which you could have found by clicking my name, but that’s OK. We have a severe illegal immigration problem, especially in my county. My county cracked down on illegals, and gained some national notoriety for doing so. We are agressively part of the 287G program, we have a police policy of checking EVERY detained individual for their immigration status. I support our work, and am a vocal, public advocate against illegal immigrants.
But nobody here has EVER proposed killing illegals. The very notion is absurd. Your suggestion that “obeying the law” means we can kill people who trespass would be disturbing if you meant it, but you have yet to actually be able to say the words, so I’m guessing you can’t bring yourself to admit you’d kill another human being just for trespassing into your country. You’d need a good reason to take a life.
I don’t think anybody here wants illegals running around unaccounted for. We have too much of that. Rick Perry wants to secure our borders, and to implement a more secure guest worker program so we don’t lose track of the legal immigrants, so we can make sure they leave when their visas expire. A fence doesn’t help that problem.
And while illegals are certainly a problem, moreso in Virginia than many other states, but a real problem, they are not what is “ruining” this country. Our country has had very prosperous times even with illegals here. We had 4.5% unemployment average under Bush with all the illegals here.
Things are bad now because of Obama. I don’t think it helps us to scapegoat illegals as if THAT is what has destroyed our economy. The illegal problem needs to be taken care of. We have a real problem with illegal and legal immigrants who refuse to assimilate, who want to change us into their countries. That has to stop.
But not by killing them. Sorry, that is simply unacceptable.
