True, but we also need to control who's coming in. Allowing people to jump the line because they snuck in and lived here awhile is no way to run an immigration policy. Why not go after the best and brightest like we used to do? Why do we have to let masses of people in just because their countries SUCK? You bring third worlders in, you get third world values and you get people willing to work sub-minimum wage. Think that's good? How do they accomplish that? By cramming 20 in a house meant for four, that's how. If you're house happens to be next to one of these illegal boarding houses what then happens to your property values? If you now have 100 people competing for a job where before only 10 people wanted it, what happens to the wage scale? Lets not even talk about what happens to our property taxes as the kids of these illegals flood into the local schools.
America shouldn’t care if you are white black brown blue and yellow, if you can do the damn job and work your ass off, come on down and try your hand at it. Want to be shiftless and suck off the teat of American kindness and generosity? Go home!
America doesn't care, but progressives do since to them everyone is part of a voting block to be pandered to , or (in the case of caucasions and to a lesser extent asians) someone to foot the bill. BTW progressives want people to suck off the system, because a nation of self sufficient individuals has no need of progressives.
I’m all for that, go after the best and the brightest and encourage them to come. Immigrants don’t have to be a drag on the system. There are good people out there that should be coming to America.
If America were to specifically target these people, instead of Obama’s usual shuck and jive - they would come.
How do you think these people are going to see America - if they see bills being put forward to prevent people from leaving if they owe money to America? How is that going to convince the businessman in Greece who wants to get out of there before the system totally collapses?
There is a market to be a financial haven in a sea of uncertainty. Look at Switzerland. Switzerland is getting killed on their bonds right now because demand is so stoked up. You’re telling me that an America with good fiscal policy wouldn’t see droves of people trying to do the same thing?
That’s not the attitude of the America I know, to strive to be the best. Heck there was an article that really upset us here in Texas. Texas was 49th in school spending. 49th! We wanted to be 50! so we could say you get the most bang for your buck down here.
