Politcal Blog: Did Illegal Immigration Just Go Away?
After three debates of the presidential candidates only ONE question surfaced about illegal immigration. Did it just go away? Why sidestep this important issue during a time when Bill Ayers and Sarah Palin are being presented as the defining moments of our presidential character and judgment? Illegal immigration is a national issue that will shape the future presidential character, not some past judgments or quirky decisions. Political correctness is a self perception of media defined civility. I don’t care about political correctness, I care about my country and what my future president stands for. Illegal immigration should be addressed before the election.
This subject is a double edged sword. Simple minded idiots will define the problem as “legal” vs “illegal” as if the problem just surfaced, refusing to accept the fact that some illegals have assimilated to American values such as home ownership, business ownership, American born children, and yes, taxpayers. The shouts of ‘amnesty” may be a compromise, but what did Reagan do? After thirty more years of open borders, a compromise must be reached. What that is I’ll leave up to our elected officials.
But the one issue that must be recognized and confronted immediately is the international criminal organization. We must unite and become more vigilant in recognizing and demanding security from these ruthless elements of pure vice. This is a third world problem showing its’ ugly after effects in our country. Kidnappings, incursions, and murder are slowing spilling over from Mexico. This can not be tolerated. Our national security is at risk. So my question is…..what strategy can be created to keep the positive relations with our neighboring country while combating this scourge of civil instability to our country?
