There are some really good parts of his proposal for a solution.
My main contention is that we do not have a single ‘immigration’ problem that encompasses aspects of legal immigration, immigration policies for executive agency whim on refugees, or visas AND illegals.
There are at least two distinct problems. ILLEGALS and an immigration/visa system and birthright citizenship problem.
One of these problems is simple. There are laws and ‘supposed to have been executed programs’ to deal with it. Illegal is always illegal, always has been.
The other on is a matter of executive policy, implementation and a very badly needed complete reform of our legal immigration/visa system and a total reigning in of the abuse of the 14th amendment.
Very Eloquenty put. I’m personally in the no amnesty camp. These folks broke our laws period. I’m almost to the point that we should even go so far as to suspend immigration until this mess is corrected. Yes, the sun is shining and birds are chirping where I am /sarc/
