#38: Tonya
I’ll drip some more on you, and please read what I posted before you dismiss me as a clueless, soft-hearted open-borders softie. I am a charter member of the “Sean Penn Sucks” club (except for “Fast Times at Ridgment High” where he was outstanding).
I didn’t say not to secure the border: I’m all for it. Yesterday! Last year! Ten years ago! Not having it secure is what caused the entire problem to mushroom. And I am all for locking up violent crimials whoever they are and possibly deporting illegals instead of paying to support them (my reluctance to deport them is for fear they’ll get out at home and come back).
I am though, synpathetic to the plight of ahrd working law-abiding illegals here (who obey the law once here), who have had kids that are now US citizens, and who work and do not commit crimes. I assume you are too: yes they need to pay taxes and not be paid in cash (that’s a problem with employers who like cheap labor–lets get after them!). Yes they need to be taught english.
But for me, the feds move to arrest and deport a few thousand aliens who have lived here for years is silly. They should secure the border first. Those arrests are just for show.
And lest you think rounding trhem up is good for the US lets think: in the midwest the feds rounded up Mexican illegals at a meat plant. Their replacements…..muslim workers who now insist on the right to praty 5 times a day, and who have replaced the Mexican workers. A good result? not from where I sit.
Excuse me, I have to go to yoga and eat some sprouts.
