It is a screwed up situation to put it mildly. Our Immigration laws make it next to impossible for people to immigrate supposedly because we are protecting ourselves from uneducated, disease ridden, criminally minded riff raff. So we turn a blind eye to our borders and now think in terms of legalizing the illegal while penalizing the law abiding who chose to go through the proper channels to get in and failed.
At the same time, there are those who came in illegally, have established themselves in busimesses, seen to it that their children are educated. They are an asset. And as I understand it, their children are American citizens.
It seems to me that instead of spending time and money trying to arrest and deport non-criminal illegals, we should be using those same dollars to stem the flow of illegal immigrants who, by the way. may be terrorists.
