I remember that one!
...desperate, jobless Americans will do most of the jobs illegals do now.
Agreed, IF our government quits handing out freebies.
Now that I am watching the rerun, I think Santorum is doing very well. As is Herman Cain.
*rolling eyes* She is NOT planning to run...didn’t get the memo, huh?
I have no trouble with allowing deportees to take family members home with them. Any family members who are lawful US citizens are welcome to return, as when attaining the age of majority...
So true, and so sad.
I will NEVER support Newt.
Hey Newt! Would it be “humane” enough allow the illegal aliens to set up Occupy Mexican Border Camps inside Mexico?
BTW, I’ll bet we could get some of the OWS people to supervise sanitation stations. Better weather now in Mexico than in NYC.
GMTA.
Newt has been making these immigration proposals in other venues and there have been several newspaper articles. I’d been wondering when it would come out in a debate with the much larger audiences and after-coverage.
It’ll be interesting to see how much this knocks him down.
Calvin Coolidge (a favorite of Ronald Reagan and mine) was on target on December 6, 1923 when he addressed Congress with these words -- as relevant today (if not even more) than it was then:
"American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, mere documentation alone doesn't imply assimilation.
“Perry has done all he can as Governor to secure the border at a cost of $400 million from Texas taxpayers. He has admitted the heartless comment was stupid and has gone around the country with I’m sorrys for everyone. Secure the border, punish the employers and this problem will take care of it’s self. Enforce the damn laws we have and put boots on the borders!”
The $400M was over a decade, and it involved relocating a couple of hundred Texas Rangers. The REAL STUFF did not happen in Texas, as all us Texans know that cannot even go into a Home Depot and read the labels anymore (ok, I exaggerate a bit, but not much).
The REAL STUFF includes laws to prevent SANCTUARY CITIES, E-VERIFY, verifying legality for state services, etc. Perry has NOT done jack in those areas, which is why we have never had a problem with the federal government, like Alabama and Arizona have (i.e., states that are trying to do something to protect their people).
If we can’t deport them, then box them in sanctuary states, by passing tough proof of citizenship laws that force their migration to sanctuary states, like California, that are already overrun.
Let the sanctuary states, provide them work, food and medical care,
so the Pro-American states can ensure jobs go to legal Americans.
“Oh, ok it is only partial, nothing to see here move along.”
...you mean like 3/5s of a citizen. Let’s see how long a judge permits that stunt.
In other words, once you open the door to legalizing tens of millions of ILLEGALS, the our judges will finish the job by granting them AMNESTY and the right to vote (Democratic, of course).
Another amnesty?
That's the bigger problem. Neither party dealt with that problem after the Reagan years. Not really Reagan but Congress.
To the illegal, “Go!”
To the citizen/dependent, “you may stay, or go; if you go, you may return.”
