Let Those Huddled Masses In

Wish I would have put this in my campaign flyer:

Rather than opposing immigrants, arguing they are breaking the law, I so wish we would ask if those laws are just -- and change them. At our border, we post a welcome sign saying, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," then we turn around and say, "Whoops, sorry, our mistake. You're not really welcome here." Granting them citizenship would cure the ills we accuse them of. If they were citizens, they would have no less right to the social programs than us, they would have no more reason to work under the table than us, and, hopefully, they would no more be forced, at point of their lives, to smuggle drugs into our country.

About two months ago, 72 migrants from Central and South America, as they got about 100 miles from the U.S. border, where intercepted by the Mexican drug cartels and the drug cartels asked them for help. The migrants refused -- and were massacred. If they had got in, we would have screamed and yelled at them just because they didn't have paperwork. I say they would have been good citizens, and wish we could have issued them citizenship or paperwork right at the border.

Fight crime, not people.
