We have to do something! NOT!

Our immigration policy is broken...we have to do something.

I am tired of this.  Essentially they are saying;  The laws we put in place are not working, so we must make a new law.  More clarifying, some of the laws now in place, we just will not enforce.

Laws are worthless if there is no will to enforce a law.  The problem is not the law...it is the lack of will.

Some cities are called "sanctuary cities".  This means that in this city we will not enforce this or that law.  Can you imagine this?  It would be helpful if each city or state, or for that matter it would also be helpful if President Obama would tell us what laws that would not be enforced.  To his credit, amazingly, he has told us!

So are we a nation of Laws, not Men?  It does not seem so.  Men seem to be trumping the laws.

The congress is doing back flips and pretzel twists to pass an immigration law.  One of the amendments proposed and voted down was to finish the 700 mile fence that is already in law!

Are you tired of the saying; "We need to do something!" yet?

Another item there are wrangling about is a trigger that when we have stopped 90% of the illegals crossing the border we will do thus.  The question is whether this should be a goal or a requirement.  Goal means nothing, requirement means something.  But the question I have is:  How do we know when we have stopped 90% of the illegals crossing the border.  Yes, we can count the ones we catch, but how do you know the number crossing without our knowledge?  Basic math requires both numbers.  Perhaps there is a "NEW" math in play here.

"We need immigration reform."  Another meaningless statement.  How about "We deport all the illegals"?  There, that is reform and satisfyies the meaningless statement; "We must do SOMETHING!"

But no, that is not what they mean.  Underlying all is the need for the politicians to cater to a a group and give amnesty to all they think might vote for them.

In all that the congress does, it is always doing what is good for them  immediately and later we will do something for you.  Thus we raise the taxes immediately (get more money to buy votes) and later we will cut spending.  It is the same way with immigration... Give amnesty immediately and then work on sealing the border... or more likely forget it... as in the 700 mile fence.

Are you tired yet?  Better yet.... Are you angry yet?
