Not at all. Doing what we are doing consists of turning a blind eye to the topic as often as possible. Actually enforcing the laws we have would be a pleasant departure from that.
I don't consider McCain's plan as plausible as mine simply because his plan exacerbates the problem, it doesn't solve it in any way. Illegals currently are not collecting wellfare and foodstamps -- they can't legally. They are being paid cash wages below or at minimum wage, but they are not paying taxes. In the meantime, they cannot be turned away at hospitals and if they drop a kid in this country, that kid goes to school and IS eligible for all of those social entitlements.
They all come out of OUR wallets.
That just about qualifies him to be a good military commander. What's he done as a politician?
If John Kerry's Vietnam War record was irrelevant, so is McCain's. I tolerate double standards less from my own side of the aisle than the other.
You made a very good observation, though. And that is, one of the reasons nothing has been done about continued illegal immigration into this country is to protect a cheap source of labor for the corporatists. Truth is, our produce and other goods, as well as services, would all cost more if illegals came out of the shadows of the underground economy and into the light of being legitimate taxpaying workers. Are Americans willing to accept those increased costs? I don't think so. They'll shop at Wal-Mart, killing the local businesses in their area in the process, and accepting cheap goods produced by children and almost slave labor, in order to save pennies. Might be true. Then again, without the illegals maybe we could get the welfare bums out into the fields.
So, what's the answer? Personally, I think that enforcement of current immigration laws would be a start. The big question is HOW do we enforce those laws without ejecting millions of people who are hard-workers, productive, raise their families here and help us get goods and services at affordable prices? We don't. Instead we hammer the employers. The illegals will leave when the jobs dry up. And, please remember, these hard working productive family men and women are criminals.
I'm not sure what the answer is.. but I'm kind of liking the "virtual wall" that Arizona has started using. It's not as onerous as a wall, yet enables that State to protect itself from an influx of additional people. I think AZ is the state that is witch hunting the employers and the aliens are moving to other states.
Kerry's military record was largely fraudulent and lasted only a few months, McCain's was legit and lasted many long years.
Campaign finance reform is probably his biggest political accomplishment.

Ah... the good old swiftboat lies..... disparage someone who served, but aggrandize the rich, useless son of 10th generation wealth.... really sad.

The same logic used to say that blacks are more predisposed to commit crimes will garner a "racist" tag. Which logic is right?
Only problem is that immigrants actually commit less crimes.
Umm both. They are completely compatible.Originally Posted by pegwinn

Nobody said that immigrants are predisposed to commit less crimes. People claim, incorrectly, that they commit MORE crimes. After all them damn mexicans are a bunch of criminals right? Only problem is that immigrants actually commit less crimes.
