Everyone is in this "immigration reform" hysteria for themselves, especially as it applies to illegal immigration.
1. Washington profiteers: billions to crony border security buddies
2. Mexican elite: pushing poor here for more remittances and future amnesties
3. Undocumented: now's my change to sell 10 years of labor for a green card
4. Democrats and Republicans: get that Latino vote
5. US taxpayers: many asleep at the wheel, still believe "securing the border" is the fix
Yet there are a whole bunch more people who should have the sense to be "all in it" too.
How?
Question and educate yourselves about Reagan's Amnesty, Clinton's NAFTA, and Bush's creation of DHS. Why did the US population of undocumented increase from 3 million to 11.2 million despite all three presidents' promises and attempts to stop it on their watch?
Question and compare the 40 year long failed war on illegal drugs to 27 years of failed attempts to stop illegal immigration. Who really profits and really pays for these institutionalized failures?
In other words, could they be designed to fail for a reason? Is this reform any different?
If you cannot connect the dots maybe your kids and grandkids can and will a couple of decades from now?
