Duly noted and thanks for the meaningful give and take in this discussion. Yes, I do take a very hard line stance because I do see illegal aliens as the enemy and once such an illegal commits a felony, they became (at least in my eyes) an enemy combatant and are then outside the protection of our civil justice system.
But one way or the other, something has to be done...and soon. Continued inaction will lead to Texas becoming a swing state and ultimately a solid Democrat state. For the sake of the America we all cherish, the Lone Star state simply can't go down the same trail that California has demographically.
Well, I’ll float a few ideas to chew on.
First, are people who are born here but hate the very foundation of liberty and free enterprise somehow superior to that 25-35% of illegals who come here for that liberty and free enterprise opportunity?
Second, this is the result of 60 years of a weak border PLUS supply and demand, and any instant vaporization of this population (not that it’s possible anyway) would crash our entire supply and demand curve in so many ways.
Third, I full believe that my plan would instantly make things better, and it would be an ever improving situation.
