“.... So if we register people and keep them here, what have we just said to those people who had the character we desire our citizens to have? We just showed them that cheating really works out great, and being a good human being accounts for nothing...”
Hey D-1 buddy!!! Thanks for chiming in on this.
My thoughts are that if we’re NOT going deport them - no balls to do so - then this is a way to make them pay for jumping front of the folks that did it the right way.
Also, this would make it extremely uncomfortable for the illegals already here. The freebies are turned OFF - no EBTs, no WIC, no welfare - nothing. You work, and you pay taxes like everybody else, and when your probationary period is up (15 years), THEN you get the privilege of being called a Citizen, and all of the rights and obligations that entails.
And - we COULD fastrack the honest people already IN the line to get here, speed up the process for the honest folks - the people who came here and did it the right way.
That’s another “In-Your-Face” to the Illegals. They get NOTHING for free. They earn it. And we’ll see how eager they are to earn it; or they can go the hell back wherever they came from.
I appreciate your welcome on the topic. Sorry to be a bit of an insect in the pudding though.
Two notes of contention...
If a system is set up to make certain immigrants wait 15 years, how long will it be before the ACLU and other Leftist organizations bring suit to label this unequal treatement, and strike down the 15 year aspect of it?
Then you’ve got documents signed, and they get the normal process everyone else does. Back to ground zero.
All it will take is a hearing before the ninth circtuit or another Lefty judge.
Then there’s the issue of putting others on the fast track. What this does is turn up the volume when we’re already in danger of flooding.
If anything, right now we need to 20 to 30 year moratorium on new immigrants across the board.
My one exception would be truly valuable physicists, chemists or some individual who would be likely to contribute some sort of genius to our national being.
