I thought he had some good ideas in this area. One of the things that was actually good about his brother’s suggested immigration bill was that it stressed assimilation (learning English, studying US history and civics, defunding agencies or initiatives that were essentially separatist, etc.). I was sorry to see that aspect didn’t get more play, although I imagine the Dems didn’t like it, since they thrive on separatism.

This didn’t relate only to Latin Americans, but since they are right next door, they are likely to be our biggest immigrant group. However, I thought the assimilation requirement/enncouragement would be good in general, because it would offer assistance in assimilation (English and civics classes, for example) to good faith immigrants, while preventing those who immigrate because they want to change us (all the Muslims we are being forced to accept from the ME and Africa) from setting up separate enclaves and pressuring us to change.

The best encouragement to assimilation is to keep them a minority. Does that sound cruel? Tough.

Who was going to enforce all those requirements, the same people who enforce the border? They were empty promises by an elitist who put our country on the road to ruin.

Seal the border. Get rid of all illegals - including Chinese and all others. Start over with the line to come here and then we will talk. BTW don to bother with the tripe ‘We are not going to kick XX million out.” I can do it in six months with very little effort on the part of any goobermint entity.

Start by taxing all money going to Mexico at 50%.
