I'm on your side of the campfire pilgrim.And they would be completely wrong and showing clear bias.
Why should the governor take action while he farts around?

So he can say, "If we would have passed my immigration bill we could have avoided this"?Why should the governor take action while he farts around?
Just so long as they are not brown."Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
My last post was a joke. On a serious note and please correct me if I'm wrong. I heard there is something in the law that prevents that. Something in the law passed under Reagan. Could be wrong just asking for clarification.The national guard won't help until the limp dick president starts shipping these kids back to Central America.
There is a system for becoming a legal citizen and its color bling.Just so long as they are not brown.
I'm on board with that as long as the accepted system is completely enforced and congress gets on board with it completely also.We do need to make the citizenship process easier and quicker IMO. Let the legit folks have a fair chance of getting in.

There's no law against deporting illegals, we've even deported some of the recent flood of them already, it's just that the feds were slowing the process down as much as possible because they wanted the story to dip below the radar before the 'mean government sends kids back' stories came out. So their holding facilities got totally overwhelmed and they ended up keeping them on military bases and shit. According to a New York Times article I just read, the Obama administration has been leaning hard on Honduras and Mexico to get them to shut down the migration route and we've been fast tracking deportations to make room. Eventually they'll all probably get shipped, but it was Obama's foot dragging and incompetence that created the situation in the first place and then let it become a full blown humanitarian crisis on American soil before he finally acted to try to resolve it.My last post was a joke.

The problem with that is Mexicans, for the most part, do not want that. Mexico right now is the only path in and Mexicans control it. Right now they are a huge majority of immigrants. If the immigration process was fair, they'd have to compete with Indians and Chinese and other people from more developed countries with better education on an equal footing. That would put them at a huge disadvantage.We do need to make the citizenship process easier and quicker IMO. Let the legit folks have a fair chance of getting in.
I really don't understand why becoming a citizen is such a convoluted difficult mess while jumping the boarder is almost painless.I'm on board with that as long as the accepted system is completely enforced and congress gets on board with it completely also.
Wouldn't it be lovely if all illegals were like this.I really don't understand why becoming a citizen is such a convoluted difficult mess while jumping the boarder is almost painless.
I know a family that has been in the US for 15 years. They have a fake SS#, pay taxes and everything. The husband works for the city, lol. Good family, American kids, learned English well and all of that. Apparently there is a pretty large group of Mexicans that operate like this.
I know a lot of Mexicans that would do just about anything to become citizens. They just don't have the means to do it. It is such an expense and it is very difficult to get in legitimately.The problem with that is Mexicans, for the most part, do not want that.

They'd still be competing against people with better educations from more developed countries for those spots. No matter how fair the immigration policy is the US won't grant citizenship to an infinite number of people. IMO, the only thing that will make Latin American activists happy is a system that favors illegal immigrants first and shuts out the rest of the world.I know a lot of Mexicans that would do just about anything to become citizens.

I totally agree. That is why I'm a strong proponent of Texas getting busy now instead of waiting for help. If not we are going to permanently reshape this region in a negative way IMO.I had a completely different outlook on illegal immigration before the cartel war kicked off in 2006. Since then, I've felt pretty strongly that if we want to keep that war out of the US we'd better get serious about securing the borders. If we have a high enough illegal population in the southern US for cartel members to come and go and blend in as they please, those states will just be new turf and they will start a new turf war with local gangs and with each other over who controls the new territory.
If we don't want that to happen we're going to have to get very serious about it very soon.
