Some thoughts on immigration

Acquaintance Lissakay has some points to make as far as immigration. All of them very good, and quite logical. It makes you wonder why Congress hasn't thought of the same things.

Unfortunately there are other forces at work against Congress. For one thing, big businesses who employ illegals will complain to their Congressman when INS raids their place of business. Which leads to the Congressman telling INS to not enforce the law. And so it goes.

But I think we are being set up. Congress routinely has a penchant of coming at a problem backasswards, in other words they attack a problem on the flank where there is no problem. Instead of directly attacking the immigration problem, they will come after citizens and make them have a National ID and call that "seriously impacting the problem."

Don't worry, my words aren't going anywhere any time soon. You can come back for me to say "I told you so!" in a couple of years when they pass the National ID Act. Which will require one ID for everybody, except illegals. And it won't do a damned thing about the problem, except exert another layer of bureaucracy on the regular law-abiding citizens.
