So you are seriously telling me
the DOJ stats, cited by the conservative CATO institute, are
misinformation?
I don't know yet...I did copy that info to one of the section leaders in
the county Atty's office, and the immediate response was one of
surprise.....and they should know....they are doing some checking, and
will get back to me...the figures are not congruent with
theirs.....
In terms of the
rest of your email. I don't deny that there is a drug war (a whole other
can of worms) going on, but that doesn't mean that I want a father to be
deported when he gets pulled over at a traffic stop, when his wife and
kids have their papers, and he doesn't.
Please, what other laws can a person break and get away with it?
Let's see, I need money, so I rob a bank--well, that's where the money
was.....whatever you do, don't send me to jail -- that would break up my
family!
Make him
register. Make him pay a fine. Give him a path to citizenship. Imagine
how afraid the wife and kids are,right now, wondering if the next time
they get in the car their father is going to be put hauled
away.
What about the poor families of those in prison for breaking the
law......actions have consequences. And what about those
law-abiding people who have stood in line to come to the USA legally - do
we just line-jump them?
Also, if the
economy is bad, many undocumented workers will leave anyways! It's simple
supply and demand. this all the way from 2008:
Yes, thank God they passed a law to put some heat on unscrupulous
employers.
I agree we need
comprehensive immigration reform. and if there's any upside to sb1070 I
hope it will be to help force the feds to take
action.
Well, why do you think they passed that law?????
lyle, trying to stay out of this one...<G>...but
failing....
