The Democrats and their media propagandists have turned too many Americans into self-righteous, masochistic, hypocritical babbling idiots on the subject of immigration. Take Marianne Partridge, who spews venom in her paper (laughably called The Independent) at anyone who wants a sensible immigration policy. And yet, there she sits on her 18,000 acre land grant ranch that she inherited, without having to deal with any consequences of what she preaches. The other day here, a commenter wrote about Trump's immigration policies “It’s going after brown people to get them out of the faces of white people.” Personally I don't like anyone of any color getting in my face, and I seriously doubt this woman does, either. But I've also never had a “brown” person get in my face, so what planet is she writing this from? I have no idea what color she identifies with and don't care, but like many people of the liberal persuasion, she has worked herself into what she thinks is moral outrage at those of us who say what she can't be honest enough to say herself: it's great to have immigrants in this country who will become valuable citizens and it's stupid to allow immigrants into this country who are criminals. Period. And if the Biden administration hadn't committed treason by creating an invasion of this country, we would be able to have a sensible immigration policy discussion rather than fighting the Democratic Party invasion in their attempt to take over this country.

Immigration continues to be an emotional, complicated discussion. The solution should be an easy fix, but it’s not. Simply allow those with a clean record to work in our communities so long as they are documented, pay their taxes and obey the laws, but only for a defined amount of time, and not to include family members. The issue often becomes not the immigrant workers themselves, but when family members are included as well, requiring enrollment in local schools, admissions to hospitals or issues with our criminal justice system.

We need a robust, documented and legal guest worker program.

Lastly, there must be an honest discussion about the status of Mexico as a failing state, stricken by poverty, violence and corruption, all while being controlled by a shadowy drug cartel.
