Are you engaged to a LEGAL immigrant or an ILLEGAL immigrant? They are two different things.Yawn, I just can't get worked up about this as you are. Of course, my father was an immigrant and I am currently engaged to an immigrant, so I don't get worked up about immigrants like you do.
I agree the immigration system IS broken, in that there are plenty of opportunities in this country and we make it hard for people to access them. But a Wall isn't going to fix that. As General Patton said, "Fixed fortifications are a monument to human stupidity. If Oceans and Mountains can be overcome, then anything built by man can be overcome."
Neither is fast expulsion... they'll just try again and again and again.
If you want a real solution to the illegal immigrant "problem", then simple enough to do. Go after the rich white people who hire them.
The big agricultural combines,
the owners of the sweat shop.
The rich investment banker couple who think of Lupe as being just like a member of the family, which is why they don't file her taxes.
The jackass who takes his pickup to the Home Depot and hires six day laborers because that DIY project wasn't as easy as Chip and Joanna made it look.
We won't do that. Why? Because at the end of the day, we like these jobs getting done and we don't want to do them ourselves.
