Attack on America
We all know our immigration system needs improvement but rewarding lawbreakers is not the answer. To do so would be a slap in the face to everyone who has gone through the legal immigration process.
Jim DeMint of the Heritage Foundation has said: “A true immigration reform would create a lot of benefits for America ... but to get those benefits we don’t have to offer this blanket amnesty for those who came here unlawfully.”
I firmly stand against any legislation that rewards illegals with services paid for with my tax dollars. The U.S. Senate is currently working on legislation that would give benefits across the board to people who have never paid a dime in taxes and broke our laws just being in our country to start with.
The Senate doesn’t know anything about these people at all, their backgrounds, their criminal histories, their medical problems ... nothing, but would reward them with amnesty all the same. I don’t know what it would cost to “round up the usual suspects,” deport them and see to it they stay there, and I don’t care either; it is the right thing to do and it needs to be done sooner, not later.
What the folks in Washington, D.C., seem to be doing is capitulating to an invasion, nothing short of that, an attack on our very soil ... unbelievable!
