Where the rubber meets the road is allowing illegal aliens in our country to apply for legal status. That will cause the flood to become a tsunami based on empirical evidence. Applicants must live in a place where they live legally to apply. That is my considered judgment, and as you might have noticed, I have considerably dissonance on this issue, have changed my opinion somewhat, and did not come to my present view lightly, and still believe that in the end, the Hispanic diaspora in the fullness of time will be to our advantage. But the system can take only so much shock at once, and yet stay alive to see the promised land.
We are still not dealing with those already here.
We don't have the intestinal fortitude to round up possible Muslim extremists in the country, so in my honest opinion, we won't have the intestinal fortitude to round up millions of Mexican families and remove them from our soil.
So we will simply continue not to do anything about it because one option is not achievable, and we fear the consequences of another.
What we all seem to agree on is that doing nothing is not the right thing to do, yet, it seems that it's the only thing we manage to do effectively.
If you want to truly stop the flow, then we must help make there as palatable as here...then they'll just stay home.
But they are already here!
We all seem to have this notion that since they're not here legally, we can make believe that the system hasn't already absorbed the shock.
