Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
I get the argument that the kids are victims, and I agree. They're victims of their parents and of crooked politicians in the US. The question is, do we make these kids suffer for the sins of their parents?
We as Christians should never encourage illegal border crossing. Nor should we reward it in any way.
I don't think there's an easy answer. The program has to end.
Let me just break the glass ceiling here, leaving the touchy feelies behind...
Why is there going to be hurt feelings here? Because people broke laws. Why did they break laws? Because thay believed they would beat the system that the liberal press has presented immigration laws as unjust and it has been shown in the past as a safe bet to not be deported.
What will stop it? Enforcing the laws of this country including protecting the borders and deporting illegals no matter what touchy feelie baggage they bring with them. IT IS FOR THE CHILDREN.
Listen sometimes because we go the wishy washy direction we cause more trouble than the direct route would bring.
Example: if we
mined the border, what would happen? Well a few people would splatter, a quick painful messy death. News would swiftly get back to others and illegal immigration would drop 85% overnight. The two or three that went splat would cause a wave of reaction, first off is other illegals would suddenly understand we mean business and word would get around and fast. Next there would be lot less people dying in the desert crossing trying to get to an American hospital 8 and 1/2 months pregnant. Lots of lives would be saved.
In the long run, those couple of people being blown to bits would save hundreds of lives. You hear that, lives in the long run would be saved.
But is not compassionate by liberal perspectives. You can throw PC out the window. Well compassionate is measured in more than one way. Illegals calculate the risks the same as anyone else does. Nobody in media figures in the compassion of Americans that foot the bill for all those illegals because we don't seem to matter to some sectors. Money grows on trees only in America it seems. Well perhaps it is time to consider that illegals immigration is slowly killing the infrastructure of this country because the top and middle can't afford the bottom rung. How far are we in debt? What part of that debt is to pay for services for the bottom rung of society that the church used to cover? Most illegals that risk illegal crossings are not going to gainfully add to the pyramid from the top side. Yes perhaps in a generation or two, perhaps not (the culture of Mexico is not exactly something to crow about).
We are in this position because we didn't firmly enforce our immigration laws. Ignoring laws and making excuses only add to the misery and because we (or the liberal segment of America) were so compassionate we only compounded the problem. Just like previous amnesty only put into the mind of new illegals to break laws, so will not deporting these innocent children. It will put in mind to future generations considering entering the US not by the sheepfold (correct pathway) but gambling that the softness of Americans will allow them to cheat the system.
Hate I am the only one that dares to play the bad guy here, but lawlessness does not bear good fruit. Our politicians playing at defending our borders has not produced good fruit.
Nutshell: All illegals need to be deported and denied application for futher entrance to the US. We also need to lower the amount of legal immigration per year and need to change the system we have in place that allows preference to those with family already in the US. It needs to be changed to allowing only the most qualified and that means knowing the language and iq tests. Yes even a religious test that favors Christians over Islamic.

We were born in the Land of Emptiness, and we're on our way to the Heavenly City," they replied.
"Then why did you jump over the wall, instead of coming through the little wooden gate? Don't you know that anyone who climbs in a different way is a thief?"
"It's a long way to the wooden gate," answered Mr. On-the-Surface. "Our people always take this short-cut. They've done it for hundreds of years, so it can't be wrong."
"But it's against the rules."
"It doesn't matter
how we got in," said the men.
"If we're in, we're in."
"I walk by the Master's rules; you go your own way," said Christian.
