Clearly they know something we don’t... I don’t get it, why not share their knowledge?
Wouldn’t that be an easy way to get good Americans to embrace illegal immigration?
They pitch it as such a no-brainer yet not one of them have been able to articulate the notion....Shouldn’t it be simple to produce an illustration of just how much of a no-brainer it actually is?
You Russians are so ******* stupid, that you don't bother to check the historical record of either party on illegal immigration BEFORE you try posting today's troll farm talking points.
Democrats have been fighting illegal immigrants and the companies that employ them since they decried and opposed Ronald Reagan's amnesty of illegals in 1986. Reagan promised the Mexicans would stay home after NAFTA was signed, so he didn't bother making employing illegals a criminal act. Rich Republicans employ illegals.
Bill Clinton signed the strictest immigration and enforcement laws in history, into law in 1996, criminalizing the hiring of illegals and imposing fines on employers. In 1999, the Clinton Administration prosecuted nearly 400 companies for knowingly hiring illegals. In 2001, the Bush Administration prosecuted 4.
Prior to 9/11, W was already talking about another amnesty, but all talk of immigration reform ceased after 9/11. The Secure Fences Act was passed, but that attempt at building a sea to sea barrier, only served as a very expensive lesson as to how impossible, futile and useless such a task is. And it's the reason why Trump's election promise of a "great big beautiful wall from sea to shining sea", all paid for by Mexico, is getting such a rough ride everywhere but the White House.
Where fences are an aid, they've been built. Now they need to be maintained, but barriers are not THE answer. They aren't even the biggest part of the answer.
If someone wants to break into my house, they can do it. I've done it when I've locked myself out, my cat sitter who has my spare key isn't around.
It's happened once in my life. The kid up the street broke in and stole my husband's fully mature pot plant, that he was about to cut down and dry, one weekend while we were away at the cottage. The plant that sat next to the state of the art tower computer, in our sunroom. Behind my computer desk, sitting on bookshelf was the chest of sterling silver dinnerware my mother gave me as a wedding present, and my professional grade Canon camera, lens. More than $5000 in value and all easily pawnable. The kid took the 3 ounces of home grown pot..
