The people that I attacked selectively chose what they want to be the case, facts be damned.
Both the illegal immigration laws, and the mandatory drug sentencing laws should be changed. Read this article concerning the strict Alabama immigration laws. How America's harshest immigration law failed | MSNBC
When you take a real hard line, you will fall flat on your face. The Alabama law was so strict some parts of it were unconstitutional. The same thing happened with the Arizona strict immigration laws. The Supreme Court ruled that you can't require people to carry their papers. If they don't have them, you can't legally arrest, or detain them. Given the Supreme Court ruling, how the hell is Trump going to find and deport 11/12 million people?
This is an election year, and the Republican candidates have to appeal to their base especially in the primary. The last thing in the world that their base wants to do is change any laws that helps minorities. They want to take a hard line on everything. You can't be reasonable with unreasonable people.
It is a good thing that Obama executive action on illegal immigrants will be ruled upon, after the next election. Maybe then some common sense immigration laws will be enacted, because then election will be over. |
With all due respect because I know that anyone who might disagree with you is subject to...well, your written wrath...
You have a warped view of this country based on hatred for the Republican party. That is how I see it anyway. It really becomes a chore to respond to your posts. You hate the Republican party and what YOU think it stand for....you ignore the discussions on immigration and ignore the fact we are in a primary conversation that will include a lot of hysteria, but play the game of the media by highlighting such hysteria.
I have no idea of what you are speaking of. I just know that NO...NONE immigration will be passed until.......and let me say, despite his many promises, our President when he had the senate and the house did NADA ...nothing to advance immigration reform at a time when he could have done whatever he wanted.
BUT...there will be NO immigration reform until and if both parties sit down and talk. RATIONAL people know all of this hyperbole is simply political talk and that includes the candidates on both sides. What the primary contest thus far is showing is that the American People want the LAW OBEYED first and foremost. THAT was what killed the Senate bill for one thing...many others but the President not wanting to commit to enforcing the LAW was another.
You can post all you want about immigration....it aint gonna happen because of any election unless we elect someone who can get both parties together. If Obama would not even try when he could have done it, well....how important can it be !
