Sanctuary cities? You're kidding, right? The existence of "sanctuary cities" is the reason we ahve an illegal immigration problem??
Is that what passes for thought in the anti immigrant circles?
Come on. You're smarter than that.
You asked for what the left is doing to block solutions.
They're refusing to cooperate with Federal law. And that rewards criminals.
That isn't blocking solutions. That is a very localized phenonmenon. You'll have to try harder to be credible on this issue.
The truth is that despite massive amounts spent and draconian laws we have made very little difference in illegal immigration. This is because the problem is just not susceptible to law enforcement but demands a look at the root issue.
That root issue is abundance of jobs for low skill low pay workers on the one hand and a very willing and mobile labor pool on the other.
You can either legalize the free movement of labor (a conservative idea btw) or stimulate demand for labor in their home country.
Shooting people just isn't an option here.
Neither is rewarding criminals.
What is so hard to understand about that? Illegal immigrants are criminals. Your heart can bleed that "They're just looking for a better life!", but that's their own country's problem.
Get in line, come in legally, and I'll shake your hand and thank you for making America a better place.
Sneak in like you think the law doesn't apply to you, and I'll ask that you be deported with a trebuchet, because you're just a fucking criminal.
The left doesn't want America to be the world's policeman, but you damn sure want us to be the world's welfare office, don't you?
