Clearly the book (that is there to be thrown selectively) needs to be edited.
Thanks for the examples, but I want some good ones to break, like fraud or breaking and entering.
What can you expect? He thinks that borders should be uniters, not dividers. : /
The basic problem with deporting the illegals is that
US unemployment is low low low.
The stock market is high.
Govt. tax revenue at all levels are high.
The federal budget deficit as a percent of gdp is low.
The state and local govts. are mostly in pretty good shape.
The US crime rate is near 20 year lows.
Convincing people that deporting the illegals will make unemployment even lower, stock market higher, increase tax revenue, decrease govt. spending, and decrease crime even more, THAT IS A TOUGH SELL.
2. Deport anyone born or raised in California. ;-)
The status quo is acceptable to you? at what costs to ordainary folks across the nation who are law-abiding and do go thru the process to migrate legally.
It’s a mess, any way ya cut it, imo.
Do you support the latest pass at comprehensively reforming immigration?
Regarding immigration, Bush is merely an errand monkey for the establishment.
HEY!!!
I can’t help where I was born!!! You’ll lose a fellow Fredhead.
... and deal with ANCHOR BABIES as well as making it a FELONY to enter the US illegally!
Ha-ha, you nerd! ;-)
So, we’re a nation of laws—unless letting people break it benefits the country?
Why would I use the argument that deporting the illegals would benefit the economy when the argument that “they’re breaking the law and don’t belong here” should suffice?
For the record, I’m not against temporary work visas. It’s just that if the road to citizenship doesn’t go through Mexico first, it’s amnesty.
EDIT on last post. Please substitute “economy” for “country” in the first sentence.
First, they need to stop with this LIE! IIRC, in January of 2006 Teddy K said 20 million on a Sunday talk show. That of course was not pounded 24/7 and vanished down the black hole.
Then, right after the '06 elections everyone was using the 20 million figure. US citizens must have started yelling so they immediately went back to the "comfortable" 12 million figure. Liars all! If they say 20, then there is surely 30-40 million here, just as some reports have stated.
Same ol bull$hit, same ol song and dance!
They have another chance on the communist holiday celebration May 1st.
I think the US does want a migrant worker/non citizen class to do a lot of jobs like farm worker, cleaning lady, chicken processing, etc.
I think the ideal solution is a guest worker program with no citizenship and no non emergency benefits.
EXACTLY!
To GWB: OBL >> GOP
