The imigration issue is heating up on the airwaves and in Congress. It is hard for most people to accept that there are 12 million illegal aliens in this country, and some of our great minds (??) don't see anything wrong with that. Not only that, these “visitors” continue to stream across our southern borders by the thousands day after day.
Generally speaking, I am a supporter of George Bush because he is not hesitant to accept major challenges and make major decisions. But I confess that we part company on the immigration issues. I just don't think that any country can be secure when we have 12 million illegals running around loose. Do I think we should have universal ID cards?? Yes, I do — and I am not impressed by all of these privacy issues that form the core of the ACLU opposition. And photo ID Drivers Licenses?? You bet. Why not? These minor impositions do not affect law abiding citizens – they only pose a problem for the illegals. Should we have severe penalties for employers who hire illegals? For sure — and make it hurt. I simply do not buy the argument that illegals contribute more to our economy than they take from it. Baloney!
A critical point of vulnerability is often called the “Achilles Heel”. And in the USA we certainly have one — stretching all the way from Brownsville Texas to the Pacific Ocean. Mexifornia? Fiction? Figment of someone's imagination? Not at all. Just look at the numbers. It would be nice to see light at the end of the tunnel, but it is not there. Do we REALLY think that they will stop coming when wages, schools, and medical care are so enticing? What kind of foolish reasoning is that??
