Here ya go.  This is just my opinion and nothing more.  Its only if wishes could be horses, then we would all be riding.  Don't make it into anything more than that.  I still have an open mind on everything.

Immigration

I, like Trump, insist on the distinction between legal and illegal immigrant.  To conflate the two means that there are no laws or rules that apply to the matter.  With or without papers is a legal distinction that means that laws and rules do apply somewhere, somehow.  And immigration laws are not racist or bigoted when applied evenly.

No one other than US citizens has a right to enter this country at will with their proof of citizenship.  Everyone else is granted privileges to enter on condition of rules and laws that are subject to change.

I share the same belief that a country without respected borders is not a country and what ever laws are in place, they could only be considered transient and malleable based upon expediency and convenience only.  It renders the US Constitution meaningless as only the country called the USA can defend it and its worth within its borders.  It applies no where else.

There are enough existing laws, so that if enforced we already have enough to straighten out the mess we are in.  The mess we are in stems from selective enforcement of the existing laws to further political ends deemed worthy in the name of Social Justice.  That is the case of ends justifying the means.  The Constitution is designed to prevent this from happening.

Since the 60’s I have used the term Anchor Babies once I became aware of the act.  I, like Trump, believe that the 14^th Amendment is not being properly used as the right used to justify it in this case.  Congress has the right to decide the citizenship status of births on USA soil to non resident foreign citizens while here as provided in the Constitution.  Congress has never acted in its role on this nor has this interpretation ever been challenged in court.

There are four fronts on the immigration front.  Legal, illegal, border security and enforcement.  There is a system in place for all four, yet none of them are properly and evenly applied.

...

I am compassionate towards those here who embrace this country for what it is supposed to be(the meaning of which needs to be defined by a public conversation but until then shall mean embracing and compliance with existing laws) and that they be given a legal status of some kind short of citizenship (serving in our military would be a worthy exception) and be allowed to remain.  Those who come here wanting to change this country for whatever reasons as a reason for being here, well no way. 

I'll save the rest for later. Can I have a doggy bag?
