When fighting a fire, does the fire department hold a meeting to determine how the fire started? Maybe a good analogy would be.."When fighting a fire, does the fire department hold a meeting to determine how the fire started, who should hold the hose,or whose going to pay for the damage?" No, they just put the fire out!

The current legislation is just more cannonfodder, that worries about the illegal, instead of the Legal that's footing the bill for all of this including the politicians that are mucking up the process. I relate the illegal alien problem like this: Lets have a delicious banquet in Central Park. We will sell tickets on Park Avenue but whoever shows up gets to eat. We won’t check for tickets. In fact whoever shows up will get a $20 bill for food tomorrow. How long do you think the food will last? How many tickets do you think we will sell? How fast will the news travel of the $20 hand out? How long will it be till Central Park is trampled down and no vegetation is left? This is simple self-preservation, no amnesty, no Social Security, no illegal entry, everybody illegal leaves, put up the fences and fine anybody that helps the freeloaders get in. Do we want our country to survive or not?
