[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would be fine with letting them stay as a one time exception if and only if Congress agrees to comprehensive immigration reform, full wall funding, enhanced border security, and the end of birthright citizenship.[/quote]

We already did the one-time-exception thing in the 1980s.  We should not do it again.  I'm sort of amazed at the number of people here who are willing to legitimize lawlessness.  We have laws and they should be enforced (and not contradicted by executive orders).  If the laws are unenforcable, then they need to be changed.

The border wall thing is a massively stupid boondoggle.  There is no evidence that it will be effective at reducing the number of illegal border crossings (most illegal aliens in the US entered legally, anyway).  It is also unreasonably expensive and creates ongoing maintenance costs.  Birthright citizenship is in the Constitution.  I am all for trying to prevent people from coming here illegally in order to have children here, but I object to the idea of changing the Constitution in such a drastic way.  I am iffy on "enhanced border security," depending upon what that actually means.  If it is effective, then I support it.  If not, then I do not.  Again, most illegal aliens enter the US legally and then over-stay their visas.[/quote]

And this is why we get absolutely nowhere on immigration. Liberals simply want to allow everybody in, and Conservatives are so worried about the Constitution and the potential impact on their guns that they won’t touch birthright citizenship, which literally no other developed nation except Canada has retained, and even they are trying to abolish it. Our entire system is so arbitrary and broken, and no one will ever work together to fix it. We deserve our downward spiral due to our sheer stupidity and obstinance. [/quote]
