Immigration Reform: More About Enforcement And Working Together Rather Than New Legislation

#ImmigrationReform

The conversation and debate concerning immigration reform; legal and illegal, is more about enforcement of the laws already on the books.

For all to lawfully come and be welcomed and wanted even greatly desired, is a notion that is already legally in place, as are laws that allow this Sovereign nation to decline entrance (not for any racist or bias reasoning, though), and laws to deal with illegal immigration. I do believe however, local and federal government and all agencies need to better work together in sharing information and fully cooperating.

The only major key new legislation that I can see is that the Executive Order made by President Obama concerning young illegal immigrants that had no other choice but to follow their parents, and has not committed crimes, and has gone or is in school, and/or works, and/or serves our country in the military, must be made into law by Congress, as soon as possible. It is right. The only change I would make is that I would limit the amount of student or work visa renewals. At some point, choices should be made. Why should we continue to fund and support ones, no matter how brilliant, that has no true allegiance to this country, even as they retain allegiance elsewhere. At the very least there can be duel citizenship.

But we have not changed as a country. This is still the Melting Pot and a nation of diverse patches tightly knitted together. We are the "TechniColored Dream Coat" of the world.

Let all come; young and experienced, from every nation and corner of the world, and let them be quenched as America once again makes the world thirst. Let them yearn to not only visit; short or long term, but yearn to BEcome American. We will not make it hard for you. And you shall also add to us, bless us, fill in some of the gaps we have, and build on our solid foundation.

God Bless America and all Americans; the ones that are American by birth, and those by application, acceptance, processed and have passed tests. And bless the ones not yet natively born, will come by boat,  by border-crossing, by plane or by any other legal way.

It is who we are. It is who we shall always BE.
