Yes, with 12% unemployment we need to add some incentive to illegals not only to stay here, but for more of them to come and compete for the non-existent jobs.   This guy is a genius.

Once again, Obongo is just continuing Bush's bullshit. I still say they're owned by the same bankers. The only thing that's changed is the spin and the fact that bamalama is pushing it harder.

Of course, died in the wool mainstream republicrats and demublicans can't seem to see that fact. I guess the truth hurts too much.

This country needs a strong third party, but the folks who own the republican and democrat parties will fight that tooth and nail unless they can own it too... which would make the whole thing pointless.

Agree.

We the people aren't broken (yet).  We have too many laws and too many bureaucrats.

High prices of prescription drugs?––answer: Privatize the FDA.  Those people who want BS "alternative" medicine––let them.  Those who want a certification from some private certifying company––pay a small bit extra for certification or trust your doctor and pharmacist.  Those who can't affort anything––nothing will ever be distributed perfectly, especially not to ignorant deadbeats.

Medical Care cost too high?––answer: end the insurance mandates, end the business tax breaks for coverage and let people contract individually or in associations for insurance.  Hold up contract law.  If the contract says no coverage for X, then no coverage for X.

Cost of jail system too high?––answer: cut costs in half by legalizing drugs.  Drug users under the influence too abundant?––answer: put them in bare-bones mental institutions for progressively longer stays or until they die, whichever comes first.  They are, after all, insane.

repeat for nearly all issues facing us.

Democrats are apparently hell bent for leather to get throttled in the mid terms. Where the Messiah fucked up is pushing national health care. Now that it's connected to amnesty, the American people can't think of one without thinking of the other. This makes amnesty even more difficult to pass than ever.

Yes, the immigration system is broken, but mainly because we don't have a goddamn wall built along the southern border.

I am not for amnesty, obviously. The border jumpers should be sent home. We need to know who is coming here for work. We should not grant visas to criminals, and any foreign national convicted of a violent crime should be on the next plane back to where they came from.

That being said, I'll agree with "Our immigration system is broken". My SIL (hard working and law abiding) is a legal immigrant and is working on becoming a citizen. The stories I hear from her and my brother about dealing with incompetent, arrogant assholes makes my blood boil. People make appointments and travel long distances to immigration offices just to wait all fucking day and hear some smug moron say "We're not going to get to you today, you need to make another appointment".  They have the immigrants by the balls and they know it.

God help us all if our health care winds up the same way.

It is not surprising that some people grow sick of playing by the rules. We need accountability with these government employees. Fire the assholes and promote the people with integrity.

Somehow, I don't think that is how Obama plans to fix the system.

The statement 'Our immigration system is broken' is correct.



We do not allow enough LEGAL immigrants, and it is too much of a pain in the ass for those who want to come here LEGALLY to get here, stay here, and become citizens...



Further, it is way, way too easy to stay here as an illegal...



Over 40% of 'illegals' came here legally at first



The 'solution', however, is not amnesty... Far from it... Amnesty for illegals is as stupid an idea, as legalizing drugs to reduce crime....



The 'solution' is a combination of 'carrot' and 'stick'...



First, 'stick' - enact laws requiring electronically verifiable photo ID be shown and validated (in person) for all forms of employment and banking transactions involving the opening of a new account, or the issuance of a loan or line of credit. Enforce said laws against the banks and employers... Also, anyone deported from the US would have their biometric information (All 10 fingers & a retinal image) entered into a 'prohibited from re-entry' database.



Second, 'carrot' - enact laws simplifying and expediting the number of LEGAL immigrants allowed into the US, while maintaining the requirement that anyone ever deported from the US be automatically barred from legal reentry (backed by the aforementioned deportee database).



The illegal immigration problem would largely cure itself with those things done...

My wife is a hard working legal immigrant.  The local immigration office is the biggest clusterfuck I've ever encountered in my entire life.  When we go there we encounter every negative government agency stereotype that exists.  I can't fathom how one agency can be so fucked up!  And what the hell is with the security?  You'd think you were going in for an audience with the Emperor.

When you are talking about people who have access to the social welfare safety net, are not high net worth people or high earners, and who are coming into a situation with existing high employment, all it will do is make the situation worse.  We need to make getting a green card easy again, but we don't need to permit half of Mexico to come to the US right now unless we annex the place and run it properly.
