Now that the hype of killing bin laden is dying down we can start discussing the real issues again. immigration has been a big issue for a long time now and its time that something is done about it. I think the our borders need to be more secure, all of them not just the southern one. However, this is the area that is cuaseing the greatest problem right now. Everyday hundreds of illegal aliens are simply walking across the border becuase they want to live a better life. Can you blame them with the violence in Mexico. I am not against immigration, but I am against illegal immigration. The process to become a citizen should be overhauled to a point where it makes it easier to become a citizen. This is America and it is the home of the free, which means we should allow everyone to come to this great country of ours. (Maybe thats why the world hates America so much, we won't let them in????) I am not saying just let them walk in, but if they can pass a comprehensive background check and learn a little about our culture (how we don't just kill people for just anything, or cut someones hand off if they steal something) and our laws then they should be put on a probationary period to become a full citizen. If they fuck up during that period, they should be thrown in prison and then deported after their sentence. I think a test of the laws and regulations and customs of our country should be designed so everyone who comes here knows how to act civilized. The test should move away from the one that we did back in high school where the teacher gives you an example of the test that immigrants are made to take. It asked more questions about the history and not very many about the laws, which I think would be more appropriate. Secondly, we need to protect the border better, including more funding, mor technology, more man power, and more awareness. If we were not spending money on other countries civil wars, we could be using it to protecting our own country. We could use the billions we would be saving to increase security at airports as well and make that security more streamlined. Im not saying make it faster just to get people through the gates faster, but we can be secure without a long delay if more energy was put into this security. Now, the immigrants that are here should all be deported if they haven't paid taxes like the rest of us Americans. Then after they are returned to there countries, they should get a chance to come in legally and pay taxes that are owed to them as well as a fine for the time spent here previously.
The flooding that is going on along the mighty Mississippi is devasting communties and farmland. The Army Corp blew up levies and destroyed farmland and I have not yet heard that these farmers are going to be paid compensation for there loses as they should be. Yes, it was a good idea to save towns by diverting the excessive water, however they just destroyed others lands and others lively hoods in the process. We all need to pull together and help all of our fellow Americans that have been impacted by the flooding and tornadoes already this season. There really is nothing anyone can do to prevent nature from running its course, but we can help with the recovery effort.
So far in the republican presidential campaign, I think that although he has no experience in Washington, he would be the best candidate so far. He connects with the people (kinda like Obama back in 08 but more but more so because he is one of the people, not a politican) in a way that people understand. He may not have the solutions to all the problems right now, such as national security, but thats because he is not given all the info he needs to make a clear choice. Which he admitted during the debate. This shows he isn't just blowing smoke. He knows that he can't speak on certain things because he just doesn't know, yet and hes not like other politicans that just bull shit the people and make things up just because it sound good. He seems like a candidate that can lead the country to where it needs to go. I think he is the best voice for the American people. He has great ideas that can actually make a change in the country if they were implemented. I haven't made my mind up yet or anything but I would defently like to hear more from him. Let me know.
