COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM #2
A REPEAT PERFORMANCE
1986 Comprehensive Immigration Reform did not work to control immigration and secure the border so why do we think Comprehensive Immigration Reform #2, a repeat performance, will work when we now have 20 million illegal aliens and we will have 30 million more illegal aliens in the country in 20 years? Illegal immigration has tripled since 1986 which mean it had the opposite effect and did not control illegal immigration and secure the border.
Our immigration system was broken in 1986 and it is still broken in 2010. Are we going to learn from that mistake or are we going to have a repeat performance of 1986? Or will we try something else like enforcing our immigration laws that worked in the past with Operation ******* and it will work now without out rounding them up, putting them on busses and deporting them. Just say, we cannot round 20 million people up and deport them, but we can take away the incentives (that broke the system) that bring them here and keep them here, jobs, freebies and the 14th Amendment.
Parents of 500,000 anchor babies feel they have a right to remain in this country only because they have American born children by default and that is unconstitutional.
Our immigration system is broken because we allowed it to be broken. Citizenship is not attained by way of anchor babies but by way of at least one parent being an American citizen.
It is way past time to enforce our immigration laws or get rid of them and open the border because as long as we dont enforce them our border patrol agents are working their butts off in vain.
If we do not learn from our mistakes, we are bound to repeat them. Comprehensive Immigration Reform #2 will only lead to Comprehensive Immigration Reform #3.
It is not possible to put a bag of cookies in front of a baby and expect him to take only one. We cannot put out the call for cheap labor, advertising freebies, and the 14th Amendment and expect no takers. When we advertise Comprehensive Immigration Reform, there is a rush across the border like the 1849 gold rush.
A temporary worker program worked in the past to control the need for workers and we can make it work again.
We have 17% of illegal aliens working in construction and we have 200 million unemployed construction workers.
