I share 1 thing in common with you. I also want them out.
But I also believe it is people like you that have no sympathy for them that only empower and entrench their position here by infuriating the liberals and human rights groups.
And its also plain morally wrong to remove them in such a way that will cause great suffering.
The only thing that matters here is what our "Realistic" options are.
The great Mexican Round Up is a fantasy.
Its not going to happen, regardless of who wins the election.
And its not going to happen in 4 or 8 or 12 more years either.
So stop fueling your opposition by supporting a fantasy that will never be.
And support something that will work towards the same goal instead.
Making them unwelcome instead of having Americans lined up with cash in their hands, is the best way to accomplish what you want.
It may not be the most direct way, but its a realistic plan.
Controlling our border in addition to making it difficult for them to work will yield a positive effect.
Instead, we have Congressmen saying that we have an "urgent need" for more Mexican workers.
What we have an urgent need for... is putting these people in prison that are making a profit off the backs of the illegals at the cost of screwing the American worker. |
Good post, particularly on how it infuriates liberals to simply want to round the illegals up and throw them out. It's hard to get around the fact that is what I feel should be done, however. Not necessarily doing raids on known places where they are, but at least deporting them when they are discovered through usual means. And NOT catering to them with IDs, voting rights, health care, scholarships, bank accounts, jobs, etc.
If I had lost as much money as you have because of illegals, I certainly would not be voting for a Democrat, who is pushing in the opposite direction to solving the problem.
