[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the meantime, scores of business leaders send an open letter to the president and congress urging federal help for NYC and better control of the border.

"In the interim, we urge you to take immediate action to better control the border and the process of asylum and provide relief to the cities and states that are bearing the burdens posed by the influx of asylum seekers."

Would have been nice if these business leaders had sent their letter long ago, instead of waiting until the border crises made it to their own cities and states.  Funny how no one cared until they were actually affected by it themselves.[/quote]
Dems are stupid that way.[/quote]

Republicans haven't done a damn thing to fix it either.  Our entire political establishment is idiotic.[/quote]

Immigration reform is an untouchable issue for both Democrats and Republicans.
If you look south of our border, you will find chaos and disruption that's unprecedented, meaning many millions of people are migrating to escape extreme violence and poverty. Venezuela in particular is a failed state where 3/4 of its population now live in dire poverty, even though the country has vast oil reserves. Where do these people go? Are you willing to allow them all to starve to death or be murdered by gangs and corrupt governments? They are so desperate that they send their children unaccompanied to try to get into the US and plea for asylum. If your only alternative is certain death from starvation or violence, then it's worth the risk to send your minor children on a long and dangerous journey which they very well may not survive. Have you ever faced this? Of course not. No one on this board has or will.

The Democrats and Republicans need to either send massive aid to these countries to help sort out the problems that are sending millions of their citizens to seek shelter and survival in other countries, including ours, or the Democrats and Republicans need to change the laws to allow many of these migrants to work legally in our country.

You do know that the US economy would collapse should the undocumented immigrants currently in our country up and leave today? Food costs, for one, would skyrocket. Do you want that? I didn't think so.

If you allow migrants to cross the border to work, legally, states will not be burdened with their care. They will earn money and pay for themselves. As of now, migrants claiming asylum do not have the right to work for six months. Who will pay for their care during that time?

Democrats and Republicans fear that making it legal for migrants to work will encourage more migrants to come knocking at the door of our border. I don't see a problem with that as long as we have jobs that Americans don't want to fill. [/quote]

Are you the same person who always brings up the cost of food? Your scare tactics wear thin. I spend time in plenty of countries that have low birthrates and aren't bursting with illegal aliens, and the food costs are not prohibitively expensive.

You can't let these people come here to work until you rid the country of birthright citizenship. If they are allowed to come as workers only, with no path to citizenship, and no right to citizenship for their children, then we can talk.[/quote]
