I always read Dr. Sowell's articles with interest, because he has a unique insight into the problems that face modern society. In a recent article, he adds his thoughts to the current debate regarding the proposed amnesty to illegal aliens:
The big talking point of those who want to legalize the illegal immigrants currently in the United States is to say that it is "unrealistic" to round up and deport 12 million people.
Back in 1986 it was "unrealistic" to round up and deport the 3 million illegal immigrants in the United States then. So they were given amnesty -- honestly labeled, back then -- which is precisely why there are now 12 million illegal immigrants. As a result of the current amnesty bill -- not honestly labeled, this time -- will it be "unrealistic" to round up and deport 40 million or 50 million illegal immigrants in the future?
The idiots in Washington want to do the same thing they did back in 1986, regardless of the fact that the amnesty of 1986 only made the problem worse, not better.
And Thomas hits the nail on the head again, regarding the sincerity of the amnesty proponents about enforcing our borders:
Incidentally, remember that 700-mile fence that Congress authorized last year? Only two miles have been built. That should tell us something about how seriously they are going to enforce other border security provisions in the current bill.

Agree aboutthe 'amnesty". However, I wonder about how 12 million illegal aliens will be rounded up and deported. I wonder ho w many pro-illegal immigrant NGOs will try to delay the implementation, by filing lawsuits in Federal Courts. And will the process be held up by leftist-liberal groups, Churches etc, who will offer "sanctuary" and other such crap schemes? how wil the left-leaning main stream media portray the process?
This is what worries me.
Amen, Danny. There are many who have a vested interest in the status quo of open borders.
