Arizona Week host Michael Chihak dug into the politics on immigration last night. It’s going to be an interesting legislative session as Republicans try to figure out how to quit alienating Latinos while holding onto their base, isn’t it?

What more can either political party lie about, then the insistence that they have made our border secure against the drug dealers, foreign terrorists and illegal immigration? Just plain old liars when the majority of Americans have trusted their word about securing the border. You can bet that whatever the Republicans or Liberal Progressives (Democrats) spill out their deceiving mouths is just another bunch of more deception. There has never been any intention in sealing the border between the other impoverished Americas and United States, otherwise entering would be a felony, or the fact that the children smuggled into America would never get automatic citizenship, leading to the Dream Act? Then again millions of U.S. citizens are still jobless, while millions of immigrants are employed. Personally I wouldn’t trust either party, as the rhetoric is all they seem to know. Very few believe in the “Rule of Law” and honest policies led by U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama. There oath of allegiance is like wax slipping between their greedy fingers. The only chance we had was the national TEA PARTY of moderate Conservatives and now with President Obama back in power, we are leaning towards a Socialist country, with Communist undertones. Under Obama Czars this country is full steam ahead for more entitlements, more free stuff, more spending.
One things for absolutely sure the more you hand out, the more they want? Another amnesty of any form will just draw more people into this country, wrecking the fabric of the once American Dream. Even STEM labor (Scientists, Technology, Engineers and Math) is very controversial, as the visas are abused, with hundreds of thousands of less skillful are allowed into this country. The estimate of mediocre immigrants is something over a million a year, whose entry is adroitly manipulated by attorneys and employers. If that isn’t enough competition for the U.S. job market the Democrats think we should accept the itinerant populace from other countries who cannot speak English and rely on public welfare to exist. If agriculture needs more workers there must be an acceptable requirement of a well-oiled, regulated orderly “Guest Worker” program with an emphasis on returning home after their contract runs out. If this sovereign nation must accept a new revised immigration reform, the frontier states, its citizens and the rest of the 50 states must be guaranteed a secure border, from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California with the double layer fence as enacted but played down, unfunded in 2006. Employers who dishonestly work the immigrant system, either legal or illegal must be prosecuted. That all tourists and other visa over-stays must be tracked, then detained and held accountable with prison time.
We now have a far leftist group which is pressing to take the “I” out of illegal aliens. They can strain their vocal chords until they struggle for their air, but as far as I am concerned, foreigners who came here and disrespected our law and under my watch they are, and will remain ILLEGAL ALIENS. Not undocumented immigrants, but Illegal aliens who cheated the thousands of people who came here in the correct manner. For Me and my family I have my pensions from years of good gainful work, but I refuse any more to pay for millions of illegal aliens coming here—having lots of babies—an expecting taxpayers as myself to pay for it all? My opinion is that during these previous elections, there was perhaps millions of non citizens committing voter fraud, because it was only in states with no need for possessing picture ID, that the voting was monstrously for Obama’s mob. You will never convince me of any solution until we have a none counterfeit able Social Security card, with a thumbprint or retinal scan?
Dave seem’s to have obtained most of his information from the history of the envasion of North America by European colonies. Non-the-less History is the prophet of the future.
By referring to the present “Obama” administation as socialist, could reflect upon the mess amount of mis-information this individual has received by the Fox News network. When employer’s are unwilling to pay their employee’s a wage that is compatible with the times, and provide afordable healthcare, i’ts obvious that the working poor will have no other alternative then to ask for Gov’t assistance in order to make ends meet.
There is a way to reduce Gov’t spending, but unfortuneatly that would require the wealthy to open their poket books, and pay the debt that is due to the 47 percent of the hard working people of America who made it all possible for them.
Dave, couldn’t you just say that you’re an AWM and be done. All that other stuff just sounds like you’re trying sound smart.
Again this simply means we need to get all races involved with voting, we cannot let one race dictate what direction our country goes in.
I’m assuming that Dave Francis is a conservative. Yet, his solutions to immigration seem like a Big Government, Big Spending Project, which I’ve always associated with liberals.
Like building a huge border wall which is a massive and outrageous confiscation of private property.
Which conservatives oppose in every other context.
Likewise, granting to the Federal government greater police powers – especially at the local and state level.
Which conservatives oppose in every other context.
All of which is ludicrous, because, contrary to what Dave claims, illegal immigration has fallen to historically low levels over the past 4 or 5 years.
Encountering a trespassing south-of-the-border migrant has become a rare event here in Rio Rico.
Well, it seems to me, AZPaul, all races did get involved in the last election which means that no longer will old white folk “dictate what direction our country goes in.”
Speaking as one of those “old white folk,” such a wonderful event tickled me nearly pink!
The questin was-How to attract latinos to the Republican party? No one addressed that.
Is it because they don’ want Latinos in their party?
A first step is to rescind the law that inadvertingly accedes to racial profiling. That is a
slap in the face to American Latinos. Then we could mildly assume the Republican Party is not so bad. But, that would be a start.
