I Wish I Had Written That - Part 34

I have stayed away from the Immigration Bill that is the talk of the town on the Hill and in the blogosphere.

The short version… I’m against the bill.

Chalk me up as one of those silly people that feels that the borders should be secured first, then we can talk about amnesty. I understand the reality of the existing illegal immigrant population and that something needs to be done to allow them a path to legality and eventual citizenship, but not until we can secure our borders.

As the bill is now, it is nothing but amnesty now….enforcement…eh, maybe some time down the road.

I have been following the debate over at Ace’s and it seems to boil down to corruption of the highest nature. The VAST majority of Americans are against this bill, yet it seems destined to pass without so much as a public hearing.

So anyway, that is all I am going to say about that.

Ace’s most recent post sums it up best. Well, the last line of this post.

Ace, he has a way with words.

    I’ve got mixed feelings about this whole immigration issue. Personally, I think anyone who is not a wanted criminal or a member of a terrorist organization should be allowed into the country.

    BUT I also think that any and all immigrants should have to pass a background check (to confirm the aforementioned requirements) before being allowed in, and be given a five year probation where they 1) are not allowed to accept any form of welfare and 2) must not commit any felonies during this time.

    If anyone is willing to do that, I say we welcome them with open arms.

    Just my two cents. :)

    With the qualification that they go to the end of the line behind the people who followed the rules.
