| OK, you can't seem to understand economics. How much would it cost to deport over 11 million people? How would you go about doing this? What would happen to our GDP? What would happen to our industries etc with 11 million workers all of the sudden absent? I know, you want the brown people out, right now, damn the consequences, right? Think seriously about this. What you state (as well as other) is simply not possible. Immigration reform is not "amnesty", since there will be penalties, etc. that will be paid. And a part of immigration reform is streamlining the system to make it easier to get people in this country that are needed for work, while screening out those who should not be allowed to come in. As I have said before, securing the borders is the first priority, then a program allowing those already here to apply for a 5 year waiver, paying a fee for this service, and undergoing a background check. Fixing the process so that farmers can actually ask for and receive the workers needed to pick lettuce, for example, and get the workers in before it rots in the field is a part of the immigration reform. Connect the brain before connecting everything else. |
