Town...
Simple question. While we have NO idea who's in our country now, and at a time where we can't get Americans (regardless of race, color, etc...) enough jobs, what makes you think it's a good job to be discussing all that now.
I can appreciate the desire for the US to be an open Utopian dream for any and all, but for fuck sake, we can't fucking afford it right now.
What you folks don't either seem to want, or bother understanding, is that we simply don't have the resources to take care of any more needy people that have chose ON THEIR OWN to bypass the legal system to come here and suffer. It's THEIR fault ALSO.
I agree with regulating and punishing businesses that allow it to happen, but that's only going to make the illegals that are here suffer more. That doesn't fit your love for the mexican people either.
So what are we to do in the meantime?
Hmmm... Control the border, and use the necessary means to do it? (and no, that doesn't mean shooting people...)
Don't confuse my argument against CCTAU as an antithesis to immigration control.
And yes, it is their fault. Big time their fault. I think illegal immigrants should be shipped back. I think we need a big high tech wall with super-duper surveillance. We need funding and support from the federal government. We need a highly trained and effective branch of police to seek out illegals in order to protect our national security.
However, I recognize the predicament we are in. We've (we, us, you, me, I, everyone) allowed this problem to persist. We created it. We didn't stop it when it started. We let it fester until it became a nuissance.
We are the most powerful, considerate, and humane superpower in the history of the world - or at least, that's what we try to be. Unless you're cool with sparking Latino Riotos across the country, you'll recognize that a mass deportation of 12 million+ people is out of the question. It's not an answer.
Using Hitler's fear tactics isn't an answer either.
My thought is this: these are, for the most part, good people that just want to enjoy the opportunities our nation provides them. Grant them amnesty. A good portion of them will take advantage. The few that don't are probably the troublemakers in the first place. But for those who do, the ones I've personally dealt with the past three years, they'll be
adding to the quality of our country as opposed to detracting from it.
Again, saying that you don't want to take care of them through government handouts isn't their fault. They aren't the ones who are causing government handouts. The people in office are responsible for handouts, higher taxes, and rewriting of the constitutino. That's where the fault lies. That's who is forcing you to take care of the needy people.
And I don't think punishing the businesses that hire them will hurt illegals. Some will struggle to adapt, but they're hard workers. It's not like they're doing shit work for less money. These people work hard and are generally good at what they do. I think it was JaDennis that referred to his family member hiring Mexicans. You can research Anthony Bourdain's opinion on hispanic chefs. He thinks they're the best in the world and are underappreciated because they work for so little money.
