As expected we have the same folks now beginning the political slamming and thus sadly, another discussion will bite the dust.
This thread was NOT about politics. It was about a poster who felt the American dream of immigrating here was dead. It fostered, rightfully so, into a discussion of the current border problem.
Those who now talk of elections, voting blocs, etc are the ones that have NO...ZERO views on the subject at hand yet are now going to get into the name calling which they call discussion.
This will end this thread of course and sometimes I think these SAME folks have that as their intent.
But to close.....our borders are still welcoming in my opinion but with controls that we has the owner of those borders should set. We need to enforce current law on those borders (it still confuses me how ANYONE can be against enforcing our own laws). In my opinion, on this current situation, as opposed to the "big picture" immigration, we need to back track on the amnesty and "tweak" the 2008 law.
Once done then somebody somewhere has to lead the conversation for comprehensive immigration reform, BUT NOT UNTIL the current situation is under control. I have no way of knowing if this is what some want...ie, pressure on folks to go one way or another by allowing this current thing to apply pressure but I sure hope not.
To those who are on here speaking of conservatives, voting blocs, etc......THIS IS WHY NO SOLUTIONS CAN BE REACHED. Your interest is not in solving the problem....your interest is in being right in your mind and insuring whatever side you are on is the "winner". Good luck with that attitude
Noone on here can really solve anything but in this country there helps to have healthy debate on subjects. That is normally how folks get educated and informed. Voting blocs ? I was shocked that someone would bring that up.....if that is the intention of the amnesty, etc, I am sickened by it.
