Thread: ILW wants benefits from Dems w/enforcement

Immigration Daily from ILW.COM

Anti-Immigrant Democrats

A recent news report
from Politico.com says "House and Senate Democrats are outbidding
the White House on spending for immigration enforcement". While
decrying ICE abuses and other less-noticed abuses under the
excuse of "law enforcement" by other federal agencies, Democrats
are adding fuel to the flames by appropriating greater and
greater funds for enforcement. That abuses and enforcement go
hand in hand when funding is raised at extremely fast rates is
forgotten (properly training large numbers of new agents is
always a challenge). Furthermore, increasing enforcement without
increasing benefits is not good policy for the country, Democrats
are pandering to bigotry here. While it is true that Republicans
are pandering to bigots, at least the Republicans cannot be
accused of hypocrisy too. The Hispanic Caucus and other
immigrant-friendly representatives in Congress should take a
close look at these enforcement appropriations and target them
for benefits amendments. Even if these amendments do not get
enacted, just voting on them sends a strong message to the
immigrant community that at least some in Congress remember that
America is a country of immigrants. We urge the Hispanic Caucus
to adopt the motto "no enforcement without benefits".

and the comments are great

We, citizens in America, are paying for the 200 million in Mexico via the 50 million illegals in America, now.

No more benefits, what does the government and illegals want?

Have Americans living in the streets in boxes and eating in soup kitchens? No, soup kitchens for Americans, isn't that the bowl of bull.

Just peachy for government to have slave labor!

Think about it?

Furthermore, increasing enforcement without increasing benefits is not good policy for the country, Democrats are pandering to bigotry here.

We urge the Hispanic Caucus to adopt the motto "no enforcement without benefits".

What kind of benefits and to whom?

The Hispanic caucus is pandering to racism and an apartid-form of government.
