Let's make no mistake. We have an immigration problem. There are 11 million illegal immigrants here.
But we have lost sight of why that is a problem. It is NOT that they are especially violent. They are actually more law abiding than
American citizens.
Anti-immigrant types hate the IDEA of them. Their culture. Their skin color.
Those are ANNOYANCES at best.
The PROBLEM is that they work in the "grey economy" Employers exploit them to work for
lower wages and that depresses all wages. Of course business loves that and hence THAT part of the discussion is lost...and it's the REAL issue.
We need to enact real immigration reform. We need to enforce and strengthen hiring laws. We need to deal in a positive way with Dreamers. We need to figure a way to make the 11 million here (who are NOT leaving) legal and tax paying and making legal wages
Instead we are stuck talking about how inhumane we can allow ourselves to be to asylum seekers. This is insane but that's how Republicans and Trump deal with serious problems. By making them even more absurd
11 million here my ass... there's that many in California alone. It's more like 30 million.
And they're not more law abiding than American citizens. Every single one of them is a criminal first and foremost for entering our country illegally, and then the 90% that never show up for hearings double up on breaking the law, not to mention all the falsified SS#'s they use.
Every last single one of them should be deported, even the so called dreamers. That's what SHOULD be done.
The solutions are simple...
1) No more asylum seekers
2) End Lottery immigration
3) End Chain migration
4) End Anchor Babies
5) Make E-Verify federal law
6) Fine businesses that hire illegal aliens
That is an excellent list, 007. My deepest kudos. However, another problem that has been going on in the Democrat Party has been at least one Democrat Congresswoman from El Paso has actually made trips down into Mexico to recruit more illegals to carry through a vast series of caravans before the wall is built to further overwhelm the U. S. Border Patrol, and her name is Veronica Escobar. She is an American citizen whose Mexican parents came here long years ago, and were part of the American work force for the duration of their lives. Even so, Escobar is acting like a thorn in the flesh to an already beleaguered border patrol situation, in which false and misleading claims were brought to the table by a careless congresswoman with a mouth bigger than the grand canyon, Ms. AOC, who abused border patrol agents on her short trip to the border, which she preceded with potentially false claims and found "proof" of these calumnies against the Border Patrol agents, but couldn't or didn't divulge her sources, and are in accordance with the communistic/socialist stand that America doesn't deserve to have a border that is closed, even though they have heartlessly destroyed the American education system to serve existing American children in favor of educating border crosser children who've never been in a classroom before in their entire lives, and the school system has 2 years tops of getting them to graduate from elementary school, which takes regular kids 6 years, give or take an additional year of kindergarden readiness schools.
So I would add a couple of more solutions:
(7) Put treasonous congress usurpers in jail for 50 years in solitary confinement
(8) Put their collaborators in jail for 40 years in solitary confinement, so they cannot harm America ever again with their throw-money-at-it propaganda. that takes money out of taxpayer's pockets and puts them in the Congressional pet rock projects fund that does nothing for existing citizens of the United States of America, many of whom are respected Latinos descended from men who fought at the Alamo and other Texican supporters to get the Mexican monkey off America's back. Texas became a state shortly after Texas was incorporated as a country, on the account of the majority of Texicans who wanted to be a part of the country of their immediate family ties in almost all of the existing states in 1836. Both Texas and California have large latino populations due to being border states, but California is tearing away from the USA due to its communistic propensities that will ultimately turn on the USA, and has already in so many ways i can't even count them anymore.
I hope you will look into this and expand your list far better than I could, 007, because you are very objective and not fooled by appearances. I'll see if I can find the link for Mrs. Escobar's traitorous activities on border issues, but be careful--she's a lawyer and can weasel her way out of just about anything due to her advanced skills in language usage.
Reps V. Escobar and Cory Booker:
Democratic congresswoman secretly sending staff into Mexico to coach asylum-seekers (The Washington Examiner, also below
Democrats collaborating to commit this type of fraud are likely to include Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, Booker, Ocasio-Cortez, and Escobar. There are likely others who are lying about border frauds they are committing. They falsely accused Trump of collusion with foreign government, but all of these people are operating in the same way as their false narratives. Some of the reporters in television, the newspapers and magazines are collaborating with these false narratives if not adding lies to the lies. It is very complex.
