The long game is sending law breakers back home and securing the border --which is one of the few legitimate functions of government. There is no benefit to real Republicans from illegal immigration. It is in fact a losing proposition as the majority of Hispanics support the Democrats. Our current welfare system makes immigration a national suicide pact.cb1000rider wrote:"Border Security"chasfm11 wrote: Amnesty is a gift that will keep on giving. It did happen in the past. It was supposed to be part of a package that included border security - that didn't ever happen. It was like the tax increases under Regan that were supposed to come with spending cuts - that didn't ever happen. Compromise isn't spelled C..A..P...I..T..U..L...A..T...I...O...N.
Personally, I don't want a larger tax bill that is associated with even more marginal results. Especially since once you're 100 miles or so off the border, you're in the clear.. As long as there are jobs here there will be people who work around our border security. Start arresting the political interests (business owners/leaders) that hire illegals and I'll believe that someone is serious about it... Until we enforce the laws that are on the books, it's all just political pandering to please a demographic. Someone tell me why we should spend billions more to lock down the border when we openly hire illegals in every city in Texas? That makes zero sense.
Republicans need to watch out. As the legitimate Hispanic population grows in Texas, so will their political influence. It might be a good idea to play the long game here, because that demographic is coming, like it or not. The Democrats are taking advantage already.

You seem to suggest that's a bad thing. 90% of it should be shut down.cb1000rider wrote:I agree completely, but with the Federal government when we have two sides that stand equally firm on opposite principles we get government shutdowns.WildBill wrote:Pass or not, standing on principle and righteousness is it's own reward.
