You raise a good point. I too, live near a Home Depot. I also drive pass tens if not hunderds of ILLEGALS each day. The president's proposal would grant legal status to ILLEGALS who have jobs. What will it do for the tens or hundreds we see each day who loiter outside Home Depots without them? Absolutely nothing. But we already know it's caused an increase in ILLEGAL entries which has added to those numbers.
As for law enforcement doing nothing about ILLEGALS...they can't. ILLEGALS are protected by santuary rules. In my opinion, it stinks. But law enforcement's hands are tied.
I know that's a long read but it's worth it.
The overall record of President George W. Bush is remarkable. I admire him. I respect him. I'm loyal to him. All of the naysayers really are wasting their time where I'm concerned.
