bill is not workable in any way. We cannot assimilate the millions of illegals here now, in fact we can't even find them. We cannot afford to feed, care for and educate millions more. Our own people are sick and in need of health care and the government won't help find a way to provide it. We need better schools but must educate millions of children who should be the responsibility of their home country.
What never-never land do the politicians live in that they believe the illegals here now will just show wp at some checkpoint, pay $5000.00, go back to Mexico or wherever for a few days and then come back. You know and I know that that is not going to happen.
The time has come for this nation to accept that we cannot be a caretaker and provider for everyone else. We need to stop the illegals at the border and force them back. We need to find those people that are here now and assess whether they are providing a necessary job or are placing a drain on our economy. Lets face it, not all that appear here are working. Many are here because they can avail themselves of things not available in their home country.
It is not our job to provide all things to all people. We need to pay Americans a fair wage so that we don't always have to hear the tired old phrase "they do the jobs that no American will do" I think that is a load of baloney. Pay our citizens fairly and they will do the job. We can generate those monies by readjusting the unbalanced tax code and put clamps on the corporatocracy that controls everything that happens in the business world. Put a cap on golden parachutes, multi-billion quarterly oil company profits, huge drug profits, no bid contracts...the list goes on and on.
End this foolish and illegal war. Put the money into health care for American citizens, new schools with more teachers. We need roads and bridges, better energy sources, environmental protections.
I never thought I'd have so much to complain about but I don't think I'm out of line in stating that we are in trouble and cannot afford to make another colossal mistake with this bill. When it all goes wrong, it is too late to say "we shouldn't have"
