We don’t need “comprehensive immigration reform”

I see, so are you okay with our current immigration policy that awards millions of visas to uneducated people without any important job skills simply because they are related to someone here in the US? Are you okay with the anchor baby policy? Are you okay with all the generous welfare benefits avaiable to unskilled legal aliens?

No. I said we don't need new laws to make the changes necessary. Visa quotas and criteria are modified all the time and do not require massive new legislation from Congress. We currently have laws to build a fence, enforce the border, sanction employers who knowingly hire illegals, punish individuals and employers who do not abide by tax laws, etc. It is time to enforce those laws, not add new ones.

Are you okay with the anchor baby policy? Are you okay with all the generous welfare benefits avaiable to unskilled legal aliens?

No. But I've never seen one proposed provision within "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" legislation that corrected those issues, in fact they have only gone to reinforce them. We need to take the enforcement actions already within the authority of Government to reduce the number of illegal aliens. That then automatically reduces the number of anchor babies and the amount of dollars being spent on welfare benefits.

It really ain't rocket science!
