What we need to do is 1. Enforce the laws we already have on the books regarding immigration, 2. Abolish family reunification and 3. End the drug war!
Ethnic gangs will always be with us, but these steps should "choke them off" a bit.
Total agreement on 1 and 2. Number 3 is more complicated, but I'd like to look at drastically new approaches.
We also need to change the ammendment (the 14th?) that allows Illegals to deliver anchor babies at taxpayer expense. No cicizenship for the children of Illegals.
We also need to abolish any and all government subsidies for Illegals, and end the patchwork jurisdictional prohibitions that prevent local law enforcement from cooperating effectively with the INS to deport apprehended Illegals. I heard an LAPD gang task force leader a few years ago that there were more that 100,000 Illegals Mexican ganghsters at large in our city. A couple of years ago, I was a bystander to an auto-accident and helped run down the Illegals running from the scene. I got a call from a Detective Hernandez with LAPD, and it appeared that these guys were slipping through the cracks. I asked if he had any leverage because of their residence status. Detective Hernandez told me that if he was allowed to use residence status as leverage, he could clean up the gang problem in the San Fernando Valley in 6 months.
I guess some here would call him a racist.
In your #1, are you willing to see significant deportations of Illegals from the American Interior?
