Arizona took the bull by the horns and now Obama is asking the states to back off managing the illegal immigration problem. Washington will take care of it and your check is in the mail.
The left is trying to solve the problem without racial profiling. That is fine, but why don’t we simply require all legal US residents and citizens to carry a counterfeit-proof ID card that demonstrates the individual’s right to be here and to work here. That is the way it is done in much of the Western World. I am required to carry an ID in most states. The problem is the state ID usually says nothing about my right to work in the country or how long I can stay on a work visa.
But the left does not really want to send back the 20 million illegal aliens in the US because these folks overwhelming become registered Democratic voters when they get legal residence.
So mark my words. Obama’s main proposed solution to illegal immigration will be to give amnesty to most of the illegals currently here. There will be money thrown at border control; there will be plenty of talk about keeping the next batch of illegals out of the country but the only significant change will be how many illegals will be made legal.
We absolutely need immigration, but we need to decide who comes here based on our country’s needs and interests. We need to actively manage how many immigrants are allowed in each year, and what the job and education skills we need.
