I don't really want to delve into the whole immigration debate, because if you are at all connected to the news cycle you have already been inundated by the coverage of this whole fiasco. But, I wanted to expound on what exactly is going on in government right now.
People in the USA are upset. Liberals, conservatives, republicans, democrats and I'm sure the closet Commies and Green party activists. They're all upset and it is not just about the immigration bill, it's about how our government is behaving. They are behaving like men and women on a "power high". These are men and women we elected to office because we have a trust in the system (checks and balances, federal system, blah, blah, blah, the stuff that our young people aren't learning in school anymore. Civics class anyone?) I do not remember a time when our government has been so unresponsive to the will of the people. You and those like you want the current laws to be enforced (they are not currently enforced). Legislators want new laws on the books (that will not be enforced).
You see right now politicians are so hung up on election politics that they couldn't care less about what we want. You might think that is a contradiction, but it's not. They don't care what you think because most of us Americans don't pay attention to the minutia of what is going on. They are hoping that people will see that something was done about illegal immigration and that that is good enough. For you and those like you, it certainly is not. We shall see if all of the calls and emails and letters to our esteemed congressmen are enough to get this bill defeated and help to get our current laws obeyed by the government who created them.
