Reply #39: As long as the laws are strictly applied to people here illegally and [View All]

to people who employ them, I'm all for instant deportation. I'm for withholding federal funding from "sanctuary cites," I'm for removing water stations from the desert, I'm for making it clear that if you're not here legally, you're not welcome.

I'm completely without sympathy for people here illegally. My feeling: streamline the immigration process and increase LEGAL immigration, but do not cut illegals any breaks at all.

By the way, I think your response was reasonable, but if you're attempting to imply that we've actually taken serious measures to stop illegal "immigration," I disagree. Republicans promised their fence in 2006 to try to get votes, and all this time later they've built two miles of said fence. The idea that Republicans would sincerely try to stop their flow of cheap labor honestly makes me laugh (no offense meant here). The measures you describe are largely for appearance, and - as you said - the flow continues uninterrupted.
