The deal is: Yes, it's illegal. It has been for a long time. Many are here that have been here for over a decade, raising families. This pseudo-mass deportation the state has acted upon isn't the solution, and creates a hostile environment for everyone. Then there is the issue of how this affects legal Hispanic-Americans, and how they feel in their own country, and constitutionally if their rights are protected under the law.
The entire Apostolic Assemblies will shrink in half if mass deportation occurred. UPCI congregations would be split by this as well. Of course, if the law had its way, neighbors wouldn't trust the other in fear of being reported. A complete society of fear. People who know more English than Spanish, who have lives, families, relationships - many who came here as children or otherwise at the decision of other guardians - will be sent into a land of nothing where they have nothing, and where oppression and war abound. If they are working here and have been part of society here for a certain length of time, I'm a huge advocate for amnesty. This is backward problem-solving. Instead of securing the borders, coming up with a solution for border enforcement, we are trying to turn the Titanic around on a dime. |
Legal Mexican Americans need not worry about their rights over this bill. They are only required to do what I as a white American am required to do. That is provide legal identification to the authority who stopped me. If they follow the law and do this have nothing to worry about.
80% of the illegals tat cross the border have a criminal record back in Mexico. 100% of them have a criminal record here in the US. It is time for the government to do there job and build an electrical fence and use the military to patrol the border and stop this non-sense.
