I think it was Dobbs, anyhoo, his issue was immigration, which is close to Lou's heart. They also showed some folks in a local diner and played some of their comments. Several people were quite dogmatic in their belief that illegal immigrants should be locked up and shipped back across the border. Period. End of story. The problem is...we can't afford to do that. There are millions and millions and millions of people here illegally. Colorado resources are pinched to the bone, U.S. Immigration's resources are, as well. These same folks, undoubtedly in my view, want to keep lowering taxes and shrinking government to the size of thimble.
O'Donnell is proposing get tough measures a la Tom Tancredo. The question needs to be asked, how do you propose to pay for that? The United States has, most especially, for the last ten years and more, allowed illegal immigration to reach these monumental proportions. Congress has sat by and done nothing except preach the mantra of lower and lower taxes. Now we have a mess and the country simply does not have the resources to round up all of these folks and ship them back. And a wall...it would be laughable, if it wasn't so tragic.
Illegal immigration is a serious and growing problem, but the GOP has no answers, only pandering cross talk. And they helped make this problem.
Well...who dragged in that soap box...? ;)
