Conservative Musings
The way I see it, there’s three ways of doing things: The right way, the wrong way, and my way. All too often, the PTBs do things the wrong way, no matter what the party affiliation. I look at the world through the Conservative’s Eye and consider what, in my opinion, is good for We The People, and I share my ideas with you. As a Conservative, I believe in leaving people alone to do whatever they want, so long as they’re not violating the laws. I believe in smaller, less-intrusive government and most of all, I believe in our government following the rules of the Tenth Amendment and holding true to the intent of the Second.

It comes as no shock to me that our president, with the help of Speaker Pelosi, is trumpeting the need for immigration reform. After all, if they can grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, what will that do to the number of people who are registered as Democrats? Rocket scientists and brain surgeons agree; it will hugely increase their numbers.
It is amazing that Pelosi can utter from one side of her face that she is all for tightening our borders, yet out of the other side condemn ICE for "breaking up" families. She is horrified over the notion that agents bust down doors in the middle of the night to apprehend
undocumented workers
(read: ILLEGAL aliens). She doesn't understand why this happens.
Pardon me, Madame Speaker, but when someone spends their life in this country looking over a shoulder while trying to evade authorities because they are here illegally, the
right
thing to do is to make an arrest when least expected - and typically that's the middle of the night. And, again, Madame Speaker, pardon me, but here's a newsflash for you: When people commit crimes and are arrested, aren't families unwillingly separated? Or, did I miss something and we now have prisons that house fathers, mothers and their children for the sake of not wanting to separate children from their parents?
Undocumented workers are illegal aliens. Calling them undocumented workers is attuned to calling a gang-banger a
community activist.
You can try to shine the turd all you want, but in the end, it still doesn't have a clean end from which to grab.
When
We The People
grant amnesty to illegal aliens, we demonstrate to the world that we have no respect for our own laws. When
We the People
grant amnesty to illegal aliens, we prove to law-abiding immigrants that we have no respect for them. What
We The People
tell them, as I have suggested several times before, is that legal immigrants were too stupid to play the game right.
We The People
tell legal immigrants they wasted thousands of dollars and many years hiring lawyers, filling out the proper paperwork, and waiting their turn in line to come here legally, when all they really had to do was take a dangerous trip through the desert and cross the border in the middle of the night. This could all be done in days or weeks, not years.
Perhaps, as we are granting illegal aliens legal status,
We The People
should use some of the billions of dollars in stimulus money to refund the costs to all of the immigrants alive today that came here legally. Considering the number of LEGAL immigrants who respect our country, our customs, and our laws, this action should inject many millions - if not billions - of dollars into the economy.
ICE is doing the right thing. ICE works for
We The People
, not for Speaker Pelosi. ICE should be busting down doors in the middle of the night if it can't find illegal aliens during the day. ICE should be taking illegals to jail and housing them there until they have had their day in court. ICE should be separating husbands from wives and parents from children. This is what
We The People
do to criminals. And, frankly, if one spouse is illegal and the other is legal, the legal spouse should be arrested for being an accessory to the crime.
This may come across as heartless, but that is just a knee-jerk reaction. What is heartless is rewarding criminals for illegal behavior and thumbing your nose at law-abiding people.
It is unfortunate, but I must reiterate that I have no problem with legal immigrants. It is true that our nation is a melting pot. But, we must control our borders and we must limit the number of immigrants who cross those borders so as to not overtax our already overburdened resources.
We The People
have the right to pick and choose who we want here and who we do not.

Well put. Now te liberals want to reward illegals with a higher education at taxpayer expense and NOT veterans who fought (or were willing and trained to fight) for our country.

It doesn't come across as heartless, Jeffrey. Maybe ignorant, maybe somewhat stupid, but certainly not heartless.

"One" bright spot of the economic downturn, illegals are leaving. Perhaps Americans now will want jobs that Americans didn't want before.
