Illegal Immigration
More and more I'm hearing from various pundits that immigration is going to be the main issue for the upcoming 2006 elections, if that's the case why aren't either party taking the issue seriously.
Here's a solution that won't cost the taxpayers additional money, ENFORCE THE LAWS WE HAVE!!!!
Illegal immigration is already illegal we don't need another law. It is time to punish the people who employ illegal immigrants, harshly. Though I do believe that there needs to be verification programs in place. It would not be difficult to set up an on-line verification service through the IRS, punch in the name a SSN of the applicant and an appropriate valid or invalid response is given. This could also be done at the state level with drivers licenses or state IDs.
I am also very offended at the fact that a child born in the U.S. of an illegal immigrant is automatically given citizenship--at the very least the status of the child should be the same as the parents until the child is 18. The money that I pay in taxes (thousands of dollars a year) should NOT be used to support or help people who are breaking the law. So the wait is long--sorry that is the price for wanting to live in the U.S.
I'm not sure who said it but the following quote is true--"You can judge the values of a country by comparing how many people are trying to break in with how many are trying to break out".
If you're here illegally--GET OUT and give me my money back too!!!!!
