President Obama said once again that he won't wait on Congress to start making changes to America's immigration system.

The "army" of illegal aliens has been here for decades. There is no urgency to deal with them. There IS urgency in securing our borders to stop the influx that has been continuing since 1988 or earlier.

Common sense says to stop the leak, confirm that has occurred. In the past the Democrats have promised to stop the leak but they do nothing, or they pass a law to stop the leak and then defund it, because they want open borders.

Stop the leak; deport illegal aliens who are convicted criminals (30% of inmates currently in jail).

Then take the time necessary to develop a policy to deal in a fair way with the illegal immigrants currently in our country; be fair to those who waited in line to gain their citizenship in a legal manner.

Why is this so difficult for our lawmakers? It is what fair minded people want, I would think.

The fairest way to deal with illegals is to make all benefits illegal for them. No more EITC, soc. sec. benefits, ability to work in this country, only emergency medical service, everything else we give them, all gone. Then they will do the “fair” thing, return to their own country.

I don’t care if they’ve been working here since the last amnesty in 1986. There are American citizens without jobs. They come first. I don’t care if their parents brought them here and this country is all they’ve known. They take opportunities from citizens of this country. Their is nothing “fair” about that.

Every single person who sneaks across our border or misuses/overstays a visa is a law breaker. If we are to continue to be a nation of law abiding citizens, we must start punishing those who feel they can break our laws with impunity.

After the border is closed and we deal with getting the law breakers returned to their home countries, then we can discuss any adjustments to immigration.
