Wrong priorities have a way of cropping up on the way to building some kind of constituency beyond your natural fit.
Hispanics who have LEGALLY entered the United States and gone on to become citizens, are not well served by this back-door amnesty. They end up being branded with the same identification as the illegal entrants who have, by the magic of a wand waved in faraway Washington, suddenly become “respectable” and on a path to citizenship that seems to be a cut in line AHEAD of other lawfully admitted applicants. In this manner, ALL Hispanics are viewed with suspicion and uncertainty.
MOST OF THESE ILLEGAL RESIDENTS HAVE NO INTENTION OF EVER BECOMING US CITIZENS!! They are here only for the quick buck and to pick up on the freebies that have been handed out so generously in the past.
We can do something about the freebies (including anchor babies). Simply because a cat has kittens in an empty oven, does not make them biscuits. For all intents and purposes, most “anchor babies” are still foreign nationals until they have gone through a naturalization process, which includes being proficient in the language and conversant with the principles upon which the United States of America is founded (a requirement which, if vigorously applied, would probably exclude a good many high school “graduates”, whose families have been in the US for generations). And finally, there is the little matter of renouncing the citizenship of the land which from they left, and pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States and the nation for which it stands.
Marco Rubio has become who he is as the result of people who have done all these steps. The very least he could ask is that other new entrants to this country respect that and either return to their land of allegiance at the expiration of their visa, or proceed with all the steps necessary to become a full citizen.
