Maybe you are expecting the President to head down to Arizona personally and glare at the people trying to climb the fence so that they'll change their mind?
That'd be better than what he's doing!
Are you saying that its impossible to secure our border? BTW, do you lock your doors?
Or maybe you think the President wants this influx?
Yes, he and the rest of the left want this for every Western society.
Are you stuck in a tight little extremist feedback loop that says this is all about future votes?
Could you be more naive? Don't think so.
So the President asked for $3.7 billion, to secure the border and to deport the illegals, all needed because of a messed up law, and Congress (which passed that law, dontcha know) says as they always do, f**k you Obama.
The law, whichever one you're talking about is not messed up. The law says to secure the border. Funding for that was passed years ago. The law says to deport illegals. Not only will he not do that but he lied about deportation numbers previously.
The House says you can have $0.7 billion except no wait we have too many wingnuts so let's make that $0.00, the Senate says $2.7 billion, and both are more interested in politics and vacations than in getting a deal done.
Where are we getting the money right now to fly them all over the country, house them, feed them, and give them free health care?
Why was it OK for all those Guatemalans to live there in 1994 and 2004 but it's not OK to send them back in 2014?
Because its THEIR country. Who do you think caused the "violence"? Martians? No, it was caused by Guatemalans. Their failure to create a safe society is not our responsibility.
Even if that means the influx continues unabated, resulting in all those future lefty votes that the right supposedly fears. What is wrong with this picture?
Because, along with most likely re-creating the crappy conditions they created in Guatemala (and other Third World countries), they will help to further bankrupt this country. They will commit crimes at a higher rate than Americans. They will be more dependent on welfare than Americans. They will lower wages for Americans. They will raise health care and social services costs for Americans. They purpose of immigration policy is to benefit Americans. Not immigrants, not the economy, not businesses, but Americans.
Would any business hire ANYBODY who wanted to work there? Would any university allow ANYBODY to enroll? Would you let ANYBODY break into your home and allow them to stay for as long as they want? No, no, and no. Sane, self-respecting countries secure their border. They don't import large numbers of poor, non-native language speaking, uneducated, unskilled, likely-to-end-up-on-welfare type people into their country. Only suicidal countries do that.
Which is why the left is for it.
