Rather than have the Government decide the immigration bill shouldn't we as citizens get a vote?

Question

This to me should be an election issue. I would like to vote on this after all we have to live with this. Why should they decide this issue for us, apparently they don't care how anyone feels as they continue to ignore what is being said. Opinions please?

I demand a vote LOL I don't really have to deal with the Mexicans here in S Florida as much as I do the Brazilians, Venezuelans, and Haitians as we all know the Cubans have amnesty (wet foot dry foot). So it really goes for all illegal immigration, so I am not singling out the Mexicans on this one.

Answer 1

If they decided to put it to a vote they would never win, so that's not going to happen .............. unfortunately

Answer 2

The country gets a supply of well educated cheap labour to help the rich get richer and our poor to get poorer. This is fact. Under Tony Blair, the gap between the rich and the poor has increased.

We also do very well from slaves. These are the illegals and refugees who have not yet had their status accepted. They have to work illegally to live. They thus work for slave labour wages and their employers do not pay tax or social security.

The government openly say that immigration is good for the country. It is. The immigrants work for peanuts. But is it good for the immigrants? And is it good for our own 'less able' citizens who cannot find jobs?
We are just building up future problems.

We do not have direct issue votes, by the electorate, at the federal level.
Every citizen gets to vote on their federal representatives.

Stop voting for wealthy jerks & morons...That's how you make positive changes in public policy.

You have a vote everyday, you vote with your money. Do you spend your money at places that put up signs in spanish? Do you shop at places that hire illegals? Have you called your reps in Washington?
