@malevolentbutticklish Now, yer talkin! I can easily get on board with this line of thinking. If someone comes here and commits crimes, develops a rap sheet, then ship their asses back. We don’t need em. If their crime is punishable by death, then so be it. All those things do make victims out of children, nay, out of all of us, when it’s their caretakers who perpetrate the crimes.
However, the situation you have presented in your last post to meis the opposite of what you originally said. You made a blanket statement to include all aliens without consiedering any human element whatsoever. Before you jump the gun and say the law is the law, I might remind you that many laws were created specifically due to their human element. In fact, most of them came about for that reason alone.
But, if all they have done since they came here is work their asses off (the term wetback didn’t evolve without a very good reason), paid their taxes, avoided trouble with the law, raised their familes, and were overall everything you would want a decent citizen to be, then what the fuck? They’re better than half the U.S. citizens who were born here! So, why punish the overwhelming majority for the crimes of the few?
Furthermore, why break up families, such as mine, when nobody has done anything wrong? My husband came here 14 years ago, learned our language, has paid his taxes, started his own business, raised and supported his family, has never been in any trouble with the law, never once sucked off the government, and has basically been such an ideal citizen that all his customers (except for the new ones) are long-term, and ALL of them were outraged that our idiot government is trying to deport him. He has letters from every last one of them supporting his character, with multitudes of promises to appear in court on his behalf. Is this the type of criminal you’re talking about? Is this the type of person who deserves being deported? Doesn’t sound like any criminal I have ever heard of.
None of this would have happened, had 9–11-2001 not occured. We were perfectly content having a nationful of people to use for all our shit jobs, who we could pay half the legal wages to. Their extreme need served our greed very, very well.
My husband and I married 5 weeks after 9–11. Had we married 3 weeks earlier, we wouldn’t have lost everything we worked our asses off for. See, your government decided to pull the plug on ALL illegal aliens in a blanket attempt to prevent a similar reocurrence like 9–11. They secretly pulled the ability for an illegal to marry a U.S. citizen to become legal, only…they didn’t tell anybody. They didn’t want to hear from civil rights groups who would have bitched loudly until the cows come home. They didn’t want to hear that! So they pulled that option off the table and never looked back. Does this sound like an upstanding group of lawmakers to you?
I will take this opportunity to point out once more that, while everybody else id being deported, we still have yet to hear a word about bringing anybody to justice who is masterminding or participating in sleeper cell activity. We managed to find one person who was part of that murderous thug outfit, but he was an American citizen. Are you sure we’re deporting the right people?
Now were are the very definition of destitute. We have no home, our work truck was repossessed because hs license, and therefore, his ability to work, became non-existent. I am certain that you couldn’t care less, but if it happened to you none of us would ever hear the end of it.
