It's simple. I disagree with Tancredo and instead I agree with Reagan. Comprendo? Reagan wanted to forgive existing illegals and treat them human if we just shut off the flow of new illegals in an effective way. If we followed Reagan's recommendation on this issue circa 86-87, then we wouldn't have illegal aliens today. Tancredo's stunts are only discrediting him. He is only mean-spirited to focus the federal monster on 1 family as a result of press coverage. Let him use his energy working in an effective manner instead. There's no way the congress will vote to just throw existing illegals out. They'll vote to shut off the tap if effective leaders promote the cause, but Tancredo only makes it less likely by doing this.

Reagan made a major mistake in 1986 and started chain migration en masse. He screwed up big time. It's too late to argue about that. These people are criminals and they need to be removed... whatever it takes. This incessant belaying of government responsibility is completely intolerable. They need to go. Now. Period. So many otherwise reasonable individuals seem to have such difficulty comprehending the simple word, "illegal".

Reagan started it. Get it? He did many good things, but this deplorable single snafu negated all of them in spades a million times over. It is hard to believe that in this time of utter meltdown we are still bickering over this.

Well "Congress" didn't follow Reagan's recommendations did they? They gutted every new illegal immigration control measure right out of Reagan's blanket Amnesty. Only a fool would believe, especially in this day of age, that another Amnesty would stop future illegal immigration. It's as if somehow the human nature to seize on weakness doesn't exist when time after time we reward illegal aliens with Amnesty. Enough was enough 20 years ago.

But you know sometimes I think maybe we should just let the whole world in here and make them citizens right off the bat. As long as we are destroying ourselves we might as well get it over with. Everyone! Come one, come all. You want to take us over, fine...We Are Stupid!

At a minimum, with billions people in America it would be fun watching all the open borders hypocrites hide behind their fences and scream to high heaven "There are too many immigrants here"!
