Immigrants Laying It 0n The Line For America
While we debate the fate of immigrants we need to not get wrapped around the exception or the minority. America has Jeffrey Dahmer, but he is the antithesis of America, not a representative example. So too on the immigration front. There are people who have committed much worse crimes than working for a living without papers, and these people need to be deported ASAP. But they are the exception. There are examples of what the others might be down deep in their hearts, and that can be seen by the work ethic, dedication and sacrifice by those here legally (who had an opportunity to get those work papers). Something to seriously think about and respect.
Assuming there are 300 million people living in the United States, apparently 289 million of them are legal immigrants or desendents of legal immigrants. Wonder why we don’t ask the other 11 million to take the steps necessary to become legal? He asked congress to overhaul immigration laws. The current laws didn’t stand in the way of these three men becoming citizens, wonder why it needs to be overhauled? Maybe a little enforcement would help
