As Donald Trump dominates the GOP nomination race and some of his inflammatory comments find favor with the party faithful, CBS News measured how the public feels about his “poisoning the blood” language. A striking number of voters agree with this description of immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally, and among Republicans, associating the remarks with Trump himself makes them even likelier to agree.
If we’re so worried about illegal immigrants then why do we not make it easier to legally immigrate to the US. The current wait time for an immigrant with a sponsor already in the US is between 5 and 10 years. People fleeing violence can’t wait 1 year much less 10. If the US were serious about controlling illegal immigration they would make a viable and expedient path to citizenry for all that come to our borders.
Well I think there are many reasons. First off, it’s a logistical nightmare. It’s not as simple as a person applies and are accepted. How does that protect us from criminals? The Mexican Mafia is no joke. You don’t think they would exploit that?
Secondly, multiply that by 400. Because everyone from every country thinks the US has it the best. For many reasons. Including Hollywood.
