If Immigration Laws are not enforced and executed, there will be never-ending amnesty for any and all illegal immigrants.
Amnesty was granted to 11 million illegal immigrants in the 1986/1987 Immigration Reform Act in exchange for the promise of greater furture enforcement.
Guess what. The other side welched on their part of the bargain.
The pro-Amesty side cannot, and should not, be trusted to follow-through on the commitments made as part of a compromise agreement.
Amnesty has already been tried. It just leads to hope for more future Amnesty, not enforcement and execution of Federal immigration law.
We tried it their way in 1986/1987 and they screwed us. Deport. Deport. Deport.
Congress will not pass any updated immigration legislation, aside from Amnesty, until the US Chamber of Commerce and Globalists realize that we mean business this time.
The current paradigm is by design, not by accident or neglect. Those who profit from exploiting illegal immigrant labor - Pirate Equity, Vulture Capital - have pulled their levers of power, influence, and wealth to maintain the current system because it enriches them.
As long as immigrants' immigration status is in limbo, employers can cheat them of wages, demand kickback of wages, and use them to violate labor and saftey laws - because the illegal immigrants are legally powerless to complain to Government authorities.
WTF were illegal immigrant school-age children doing working night shifts to clean slaughterhouses? Enriching BlackRock Capital.
'Dreamers' are a figment of Obama's imagination. Legally - as in law passed by Congress and signed by the President - there is not such thing. They are illegal immigrants.
We need to be cruel in the beginning to show that we have the power and the will to do what is necessary to deport everyone who entered the United States illegally or overstayed their visas.
Any status 'legal' status provided by Executive Order is B.S. Something is only 'legal' if it is in a proper law, not some dictate of an Imperial President.
Any state and local officials who do not comply should be Federally arrested and charged with obstruction of Federal Law enforcement.
Congress will only do their job when they absolutely have no choice, otherwise. Tens and Hundreds of illegal immigrants need to be deported immediately, starting with criminals first.
There needs to be pain to get progress ... but seperating families is unGodly. Deport the whole family together. If a spouse or child is an American citizen, give them the option of going with deported family memebers or remain inside the US.
