Our Broken Immigration System: “An utter nightmare”
The Middletown Transcript covers the story of the Norman family which played by the rules and waited nine years for green card which never came.
“What really hurts is the kids,” she said. “We’ve kept within the law. We’ve been good residents. My husband is a formulation scientist, a person who can give so much to the American people, and they’re just kicking him out.
“We pay taxes. He does good for the American public. He works very hard. How can this be right?”
When it comes to Government, like everything else, you get what you pay for.
“When it comes to Government, like everything else, you get what you pay for.”
Yeah, too much.
Ok Jace. You got me. Who should I send my whole paycheck to? The DNC? Will that save time?
Here is an idea. Lets take the money spent to support ILLEGAL aliens and use that to help those immigrants trying to play by the rules. Let us start checking immigration status at each hospital, school, government handout office, and ANYWHERE government support is being handed out to illegals. If they are not legal, ship them home. At the very least they will avoid those spots and the excess money can be used to help those immigrants like the one in the article.
Also, if we can finally free ourselves from dealing with the illegal immigrant problem (i.e. SEAL THE BORDER), more time an effort can be made by the agency to help people like this gentleman, get new work in cases like this.
You see, we conservatives aren’t against immigration (nearly all of us had ancestors that were immigrants at one point) just illegal immigration. You liberals often ask if illegal immigration really is hurting anything. Thanks for the article showing us it does.
If they are not legal, ship them home.
Better yet, shut down their illegal employers and they will go home by themselves.
Yeah, but then who will print all those GOP bumper stickers?
“Better yet, shut down their illegal employers and they will go home by themselves.”
No argument from me on this. Not sure why you would think repubs would be against this.
“Yeah, but then who will print all those GOP bumper stickers?”
Please. These are printed the same place the “Honk if you believe in Global Warming” bumper stickers are……China.

How are we to “Seal the Border”? Use Tupperware? Are we gonna have to ‘burp’ Texas in order to get a proper seal? 😉
Get real man, the southern border is over 2 thousand mile long. I understand illegals are a burden (albeit relatively small) on social programs, but their benefit to our economy is immense, for obvious reasons I won’t go into here. Illigal immigration is certainly a red-herring issue with conservatives. If protecting our borders was such a huge priority to the conservative base, why aren’t the “Minutemen” patrolling the 48th parallel with such vigor? A large amount of illegals are coming over through Canada – Asians, Eastern Europeans, Latin Americans, and Canadian Nationals, but we don’t see grainy, night-time videos of wannabees shooting border-hoppers in Montana or Washington.

Southern-border Illegals are an easy target (forgive the pun) to rile the conservative xenophobic, racist base.
