Immigration Reform

Here's an idea.
The people who have profited most from hiring undocumented workers pay the taxes the workers
didn't have money to pay when they had to work "under the table".
I know so many Latino people who work legally here, so that they can return home when they retire.
Many of them have been told 'do this, do that, so we can give your mom temporary permission to visit her grandchildren'.
I won't go into the language these insults are met with when I ask what a person affected might think of them.
Recently I met young musicians, one from Africa,m I thought wanted to stay in America when their student visas expired.
The very idea terrified the African student.
The idea of not being able somehow to get back home as soon as he could unnerved him. I wanted to say, "Calm down son. This isn't the late seventeenth century. You will be able to get home when you want."
So many legal immigrants feel the U.S. is a reprehensible refuge. They stay so they can afford to get
away. Many stay so that they can send money home.
I can't see why any average adult would want to complete the stringent requirements for citizenship our senators are proposing.
Of course kids can easily apply, and Dreamers will want to work on it.
But a cab driver who is thirty-five with three kids will think twice about turning himself inside out to
pay a lot of money though he never got fair pay in the first place.
Republicans in the House have a proposal the President himself would have to be insane to sign into
law.
These House members want the government to hire 20,000 more yokels to guard the fence, give each
yokel several guns, and give their leadership some drones.
Aren't these the same nuts who keep forming more and more militias?
These "enforcement" radicals must think everyone in the country is tremendously slow.
New bigots call themselves conservatives.
New bigots call their sectors right winged.
But we all know what a pig happens to be, even if we adorn it with lipstick.
