CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JABUARY 27, 2018
IT BOTHERS ME THAT THE OPENING OFFER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE SO-CALLED “DREAMERS” – THOSE CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY RESIDENTS – ARE BEING OFFERED A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP. AND THAT’S EVEN BEFORE THEIR PARENTS ARE MADE LEGAL, OR DEPORTED.
THERE ARE ALSO PROPOSALS FOR MONEY TO BUILD THE WALL AND TO END CHAIN MIGRATION AND THE VISA LOTTERY.
DEMOCRATS HAVE PRETTY MUCH SAID “NO” TO THIS AND EACH SIDE IS PLAYING POLITICS, WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED.
I’M BOTHERED BY THE PATH TO CITIZENSHIP BECAUSE IT IS AMNESTY AND ANOTHER SIGNAL THAT IF YOU CAN GET TO AMERICA YOU CAN STAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PROVISION IN THE BILL THAT SAYS NO CITIZENSHIP AND NO VOTING FOR TWENTY YEARS. THIS IS ALL ABOUT VOTES FOR DEMOCRATS, I’M SURE YOU KNOW. AND REPUBLICANS LIKE THE CHEAP LABOR. BUT AS SOME HAVE SAID YOU AND I CAN’T PICK AND CHOOSE THE LAWS WE WANT TO OBEY.
THIS WHOLE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY AND YOU SHOULD BE ENGAGED WITH OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE THINK. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
