Why can't we just enforce the laws we now have ? Sen. Kennedy needs to listen to us, not sell us out!?

Question

The laws we now have will correct the immigration problum, if we would just enforce them.

If the 12 million get away with this whats next ? demanding wage increase's ? telling us how to run our own country?

Please write to your Conngressperson/Senator, tell them to stop this OUTRAGE !!!

Answer 1

I personally would be more than willing to negotiate some kind of reform later if our laws were enforced for a year or so. I am not against reform but why reform something when you have not even tried to enforce the current laws? Why don't we try enforcing our laws first and if that doesn't work talk reform. I have already contacted my Senator again today like I will again tomorrow and the next, etc.

Answer 2

How pitifully uninformed most of these responses are.

This bill is bi-partisan....let's start there. It is NOT a Democratic or Republican effort.

Senator Kennedy has been returned to the Senate over and over againt for about 30 years by the people of Massachusetts; he must be doing something right. We are all flawed in many ways. Nobody is perfect.

None of you know anything about Chappaquidick or the events before, during or after. You only know what you hear on talk radio or read as a headline in a newspaper. I lived through it. It was a horrible time for the Senator, for the nation and for the citizens of Massachusetts. He has paid the price - as we all do. Leave him alone.

Government has NEVER enforced standing immigration laws....never...... and, they NEVER will. Government knows that their Best Friends - big business, corporate America, agribusiness, farmers and others DEPEND on the cheap labor force from the south - always have and always will. Government will do NOTHING to stem it's flow. Those workers are Kings X, people.

I am pushing 70. The only thing I have ever seen in my lifetime where illegal immigration is concerned is amnesty every 20 years or so.

What happens is those immigrants eventually settle here, get a home, raise a family and start looking for better paying jobs. As they move up, the need arises for more cheap labor so the Government declares amnesty, thereby releasing the new batch of arrivals.

You all are going to have to find another cause....How about the Idiots war in Iraq....now there is an issue worth your time, effort and nastiness.

Leave the Mexicans alone. Nothing is going to change.

Answer 3

We are not enforcing the current law because George W. Bush ordered the Border Patrol to stand down when he took office, and John McCain co-authored the new amnesty bill, so don't try to blame it all on the Democrats. Only forty-three Senators voted for it, including ten Republicans. I'm way left, and I don't want the so-called reforms, either. If it passes, more illegal aliens will pour in, expecting another amnesty in the future. Our schools and hospitals will go bankrupt, and of course the aliens will want wage increases. Finally, they' re already telling us how to run our own country, when they're not calling it "Aztlan" and claiming it's THEIR country.

Answer 4

The Kennedy name will buy anything. No one is "picking on the Mexicans" as some below would have you think, someone who has lived that long should know. It is a matter of illegal vs. legal, right vs. wrong, and the economy. Illegal immigrants drain resources, and you have no leg to stand on if you say they don't. Hello, they don't pay taxes, how hard is that to figure out. And if you think that Kennedy is an upstanding, moral man then you are living in your own little world!

Answer 5

It's so easy to say "enforce." But it's alot harder in practice. I agree that we should enforce our laws, but its clear that enforcing current immigration laws will cost billions and billions more dollars than we spend on it now, and will have lots of other costs as well. It's like the war against drugs - sounds great, but in reality it just isn't going to stop the problem on its own.

Answer 6

If the Democratic party REALLY had ethics Kennedy would have been gone decades ago and William Jefferson would be out too.
So much for Ethics, Nancy Pelosy style!

Answer 7

Sen. Kennedy would give them the right to Vote!

Answer 8

Kennedy. What do you expect of a man who waits more than 5 hours to report the possible drowning of a passenger in a vehicle he was driving? What do you expect of a man who is so selfish as to value not having to face a possible driving under the influence charge over that of the life of a person.? What do you expect of a man who campaigns and campaigns for cleaner air and windmill farms but then vigorously fights it when said windmill farm might block his view of the ocean from his home on Martha's vineyard?

Answer 9

Kennedy is far, far, far away from the border states (like mine) that get to absorb the costs of the federal government's incompetence. All he sees is the current crop of illegals and their extended families who he wants here providing millions of votes. Ted can take his murderous, bloated, disgusting mug and kiss my cactus-spiked azz.

Answer 10

Your right all we have to do is enforce the laws. But there's a problem...the ppl who's responsibility it is to do that, are not listing to us citizens. They listen instead to special interest.
