Immigration

Let's get serious here. We don't want to kick people out of the country. We need to change our whole mind set. We need people, productive people. We need people who want to be a part of this country and who come to work and make a better life. Better life =better country. Right? What we don't want is corruption, drug running, human smuggling, corrupt politicians, violence...
What we need are laws that facilitate legal immigration.
What we also need is for law enforcement to be able to focus on criminals--real criminals, not unauthorized entrants who don't fall into the narco, gang, corrupt, smuggler categories.

Example of the day: I have a neighbor who was born here in Arizona. Her parents were both born here in Arizona. So were her brothers and sisters, and her kids. They are all US citizens.

Her grandparents came to the US from Mexico more than 50 years ago. Her grandmother was 10 years old when she came here with her parents. She is now more than sixty years old. She is illegal.

That's right. The grandparents do not have residency papers. They have lived here all their lives. Why would anyone want to deport them? They have 4th generation family members living here in this country legally. Something is wrong here.

AND they are not unique. I think I will give you another example manana. And the day after that. Immigration law does not make sense.

SB 1070 is not the problem. The entire immigration law at the federal level, and people's perceptions and fears are half the problem. Criminal illegal immigrants are the other half. Who will work on making a system that makes sense instead of working only on reelection?????
