On the social welfare component, absolutely. Our problem is our Immigration law is an accretion (like an archaeological dig) of so many conflicting policies over the years about this topic that the incompetent BICE people are just ripe for political manipulation as the Clintoons did. One of the things that would be useful if the Brownback-McCain-Kennedy legislation hits the floor, is that if you could vote on cutting off social services to illegals (except for very limited emergency services), you could start to get a handle on this problem as well as the budget problem. One of the good parts about their legislation is that they ARE trying to take a somewhat comprehensive look at the policy. BUT--I say again, if no one does BICE reform, nothing will change. The policies CREATE as many illegals as illegals sneak over. I REALLY like the TONY SNOW plan. I think it's the best one out there. It combines the Judiciary Committee legislation with an AMERICAN First outlook. If we do that, we will have made a good start.
I'm up for anything that works. However, if we don't get a handle on this we are toast. Last night Howie Carr had a police chief on from New Hampshire. He and his officers cannot arrest illegals. What happens is they pull them over for a driving offense (i.e., dwi) and they say they cannot speak English. Because the police don't speak Spanish the arrest is thrown out by the courts. This has happened so many times the police are giving up on arresting illegals who commit criminal acts. I can't believe this police chief is lying. What the heck do we do about stuff like this?
