This is my first post on these boards.
Immigration. I am a Conservative (not a Republican, not a Libertarian, but a CONSERVATIVE). I believe that a nation (ANY nation) has not only the right, but the duty, to control immigration and emigration as well as any trade conducted over its borders (be they land, sea, or air).
We the people of these United States (through our elected representatives in Congress and the Presidency) have the absolute and unquestionable right to determine who will be allowed to enter our nation as guests and which of those guests will be allowed to remain as residents (at first) and citizens (later, after a process of assimilation).
I oppose the Open Border concept 100%. I believe that those who enter our country without the required documentation should be sent back. Exceptions include genuine refugees fleeing persecution and/or imminent violence/death, as well as (limited) stays for medical treatment (although NOT paid for by the state!).
The problem is that no one (in government) ever advocates for punishing the business owners who utilize illegal (undocumented) labor. This must be done if we are ever to fix this issue.
The camps? I think if we really tried, we could hold deportation hearings a whole lot faster and empty those places out rather quickly. But I agree, they are (as they are currently viewed) a national disgrace. Still, what can you do? Release the illegals to show up for future hearing? Yeah, right.
The whole thing is a mess, and what we should do is just SHUT IT ALL DOWN for a few years to get our house in order. But we can't. Or we won't. And we keep letting people in who refuse to go back home when their VISA expires.
That is on us. That is on our government. We should be keeping an eye on EVERYONE who is a guest in our country and if they overstay by ONE FREAKING DAY, I.C.E. should pick them up and put them a plane or ship back to wherever their home is.
Anyway. That is my thoughts on the subject.
