“Demographics are destiny. It makes sense to find a solution before another 50 yrs goes by and the decision is made for our grandchildren. “
How right you are. We’re pretty much at a crossroads now. We can quickly become a Hispanic-majority nation, or not.
If we want to become Hispanic-majority, then the BEST THING we can do is keep the Illegals that are here, and watch them have kids and more kids, and grand kids and more grand kids. If not, then they need to GO HOME, and be prevented from coming back here.
It’s a decision that well-informed people need to make. There are good things about Hispanic cultures - the food, generally cheap labor, generally nice people, very little terrorism (compared to other cultures). And if we choose that direction, so be it. But there are bad things about those cultures, which I don’t need to dwell on.
That’s what we’re dealing with here - because, I agree, we are out of time.
Do you see a political will emerging to secure the border without some plan for those that are already here? I don't see it happening and the longer we wait for the perfect plan the less likely we are to get anything done.
I think the visa idea is probably the best we can do with those that are anchored here by their American born children. The economy has already caused a lot that don't have families with them to leave.
