I haven't fully formed an opinion about this yet, but rather than
subsidizing persons who have chosen to ignore US immigration laws and thus committed a felony to gain access to this nation, it might be more reasonable to arrest them or deport them. Perhaps. It's our country - we stole it fair and square. ![]() Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Take Mexico and its Spanish heritage for instance ... It was "stolen fair and square" from its indigenous people. However, it is primarily those with some Spanish heritage who are flooding across US borders not the indigenous people. If immigrants to the US choose to commit felony offences by emigrating without proper US documentation as a type of insurrection or political statement, their cause loses credibility as a result of their failure to recognize the rule of law. Peaceful change should come from within the system by people who demonstrate their respect for justice and due process. Those who find it more expedient to violate the law of the land for political reasons deserve the treatment befitting any traitor or foreign combatant. After all, they are not refugees, but opportunists. But you don't really want to hash this out here do you? I know I don't. |

If immigrants to the US choose to commit felony offences by emigrating... [...they] deserve the treatment befitting any traitor or foreign combatant. Those are mighty strong words. The laws are made by people; they can make any laws they want but that doesn't make them just laws. Peaceful change should come from within the system Immigrants, illegal or otherwise, are not within the system to begin with. But you don't really want to hash this out here do you? I know I don't. No, not really. I haven't made my mind up either, but when I do, I know I'll be right. ![]() Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
