The reason we cannot get “comprehensive immigration reform is pretty simple. One political party insists that CIR must include amnesty for most of the people who have entered the country illegally. The vast vast majority of Americans oppose that. Any time someone floats the amnesty idea DC phones get swamped.
There are things that can be done. One thing is to get the Mexican President to use his military to seal his southern border. Many of these people are coming all the way thru Mexico and he can stop that flow. In addition, the thousands who are crossing illegally not at a port of entry should be stopped , loaded on a bus and taken home. All of those who enter at a port of entry and request asylum should be adjudicated promptly no matter the costs. No matter how many judges we pay it is cheaper than providing cell phones, health care and education to millions of illegals. Under no circumstances should anyone be released into our country.
The hard working American people do not deserve this burden. Many are struggling to get by and yet are being asked to support people who have come here illegally.
We are a country and countries have borders. Non Americans do not have a right to be here. Americans have a right to determine who can immigrate here.
