I really hate to say this but I do agree with what Obama said on at least one issue and that is Children who were brought here by their Parents.
A child should not suffer due to the Criminal Actions of their Parents. So I don't really have a problem with someone who was brought over here at 4 years old being permitted to stay here. But their Parents should be deported, if possible.
What Congress should do is send an Immigration Bill to Obama that permits a limited number of Illegals or even all the Illegals currently here to stay but prevent them from ever becoming Citizens. Also a few changes should be made to Immigration Law.
Since entering the Country currently only has Civil Penalties as airforce stated, change the Law to make it a Felony, with severe penalties.
Change the Law so that children born here to an Illegal are not granted Citizenship, so no more Anchor Babies. I am not sure if this can be done through a regular act of Congress or if it would need a Constitutional Convention but it is something that needs to be done.
Some other things are:
This one is Very Important
Create a Law that prevents any Illegal from suing a Citizen or State or Local Government for anything. This would prevent a property owner from being sued and losing his Ranch or other property due to action taken by the property owner against Illegals who are trespassing, and at least one Rancher has already lost his Ranch to Illegals and that needs to stop.
Create a Law that permits Hospitals to deny treatment to Illegals.
Deny all Government Services to Illegals.
There are a lot of other Laws on this issue that should be enacted but what I just posted should suffice for now.
I will end this post by saying that NO Illegal should ever be able to profit from entering the United States Illegally, and there needs to be a price that the Illegals pay for their deliberate violation of and contempt for our Laws.
By the way an Illegal from Guatemala who was driving without a License hit a Motorcyclist and Killed him and then drove away. Fortunately he was apprehended later. So these Illegals do pose a threat to American Citizens.
