Remove ALL I MEAN ALL the free things they are seeking, enact huge fines on those that house and employ them that would surly remove some of the wish to come illegally, not just talk about it but do it, empower LE to stop and do spot checks on all yard cutting people and if illegal arrested and transported with no hope of ever being legal, enact a 30 day grace period to leave prior. JUST DO IT NOT TALK.
Republicans and democrats liked those laws as long as we could get and use this cheap labor. We closed our eyes to the illegals as long as it was beneficial to us. Many Mexicans have family over here. Now those from Central America want in on the goodies we have bestowed on the so many others and elsewhere and are trying to force our hand, hoping we will cave in, relent and open the gates. Some democrats on the left think we, like Europe, should have open borders. The Socialist ideal of politics as Sanders (is that spelling right) expounds on it. The moderate democrat does not want a socialist left taking power, but in our debates some of us, maybe most, paint our opposites with a broad brush, allowing all democrats and all republicans with the same broad brush. The trouble with some of our solutions is we break long standing laws, which bothers too few on either side as long as they can get their way. We are not a dictatorship. We are a nations of laws. To many that doesn't matter. But it does matter. We have lost the willingness and i believe the know how to talk to each other and negotiate as we have done since the beginning. We both, democrat and republican see that as a means of weakness. I think a wall on our southern border is a good place to start. We need the walI. I think most republicans are for it. Nobody it seems wants to work together, my way or the highway. Neither side is either all right or all wrong regardless their heritage. But even that hurts some of us. We all want to run roughshod over each other. I don't have the answer and I haven seen a workable one proposed. I am hopeful. We've always had liberals and had conservatives. We always will, otherwise the country will belong to some other power: China, Russa, India, Cuba, somebody, because we won't have sense to run one.
Last Friday I had to go to west Texas we saw an arrest on I-20 of 19 Mexicans chained together in 2 groups back to back kneeling in the dirt LE said 2 vans were stolen. We offered assistance but said not needed. Saw 2 other apparent looking BP check points looking at every vehicle, the invasion is very real.
Why isn't Trump getting more support on this problem? Why is he blocked every time he tries to do something about it? Being compassionate in the short term is all very well and might win votes from the idealists, but he is thinking about the long-term effects of this mass of humanity flooding into the country. The same thing is happening in Europe. Frau Merkel has been called a traitor by her own people because of all the migrants being allowed in. She might be regarded as being very Christian by some, but she obviously hasn't considered the long-term effect on the future of the continent.
