The president is simply wrong on this one.
The fact is that without a closed border first, there is going to be a repeat of the Reagan Amnesty.
It only makes sense. Leave the door open and you shouldn’t be surprised if strangers walk through. Keep it locked, and they will find that a harder thing to do, and you will have justification for taking them out.
Wrong on this one Mr. President.
Exactly. Also, this bill punishes legal immigrants and rewards illegal ones. Reward something if you want to see more of it.
So, how did we get from needing a “Guest Worker” solution to what our Presidente and most of Congress are now proposing??? These guys are truly giving away the Farm, all in the hopes that these new residents will get a driver’s license and sign up to vote (because no one will bother to check out citizenship). Then there are the Socialists in Congress who are actively working towards making the USA just another “member” state. Nothing would make them happier than to take away everything that makes this country Numero Uno - we’re just so arrogant, y’know....
As for anyone who would even think about another Bush as Prez (Jeb!), check out the background on his wife, Columba. Jeb met her while on some some trip to Mexico when he was in college. She says she was from a poor family and her father was a “migrant laborer.” After meeting Jeb, she chucked her life in Mexico and took off for Texas. Was she in the country legally when she married Jeb? No one seems to ask those questions and actually get answers. Recently, Jeb & Columba issued a public statement about how “hurtful” all this anti-immigrant talk is. That’s ridiculous seeing how none of this is about legal immigration -— just the lawbreakers need be offended. There has to be more to this story, and why George is so out front on this issue. Out of his own lips: “America is an idea, not a place.”
The problem is the new visas. Once people get them, they are “legal.” Does anyone think that more than a fraction will come forward to apply for a green card?
