Hey, here is one way to get more voter support

JUst remember, there is a distinction between immigration and illegal immigration. Oddly enough, an awful lot of Hispanic pundits, and their allies in the political circle, are apologists for illegal immigration, which puts them in the odd moral position of advocating breaking the law.

My grandmother was an immigrant. A legal immigrant.

I am distressed at how that distinction keeps getting glossed over.

I am still annoyed, however, at President Reagan, who chose a short term fix, amnesty of law breakers, rather than the more difficult but more satisfactory policy, which would have been immigration policy reform. And his successors have kept up on his example, kicking the can down the road, and sustaining informal support for breaking the law as the solution to a given problem.

The rhetoric seems to keep ignoring that core issue, and core internal conflict and policy shortcoming. Pols are too lazy, however, to fix the underlying problem, which is a policy that has not kept up with the last fifty years of change.

Gee, there's a surprise.
