Barack Obama made headlines Friday as he stated that his administration will no longer deport young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. when they were children. His announcement, as expected, was met with part-joy and part-skepticism -- as well as a heckler who constantly kept interrupting the president as he spoke.
"These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they're friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper," the president said in his speech Friday morning. But he was also quick to add that this is not a permanent answer. "This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship... It's not a permanent fix," Obama said. Do you think the U.S. should stop deporting young immigrants?
The Catholic Church, and even the National Association of Evangelicals don't. They are REAL Christians, not CINOs, "Christians In Name Only".
I don't know about the Mormon "Church", though.
2° you are clearly not "too soft". Your incarceration rate (please check international statistics) is five to ten times HIGHER than in all other Western countries. Around 500,000 prisoners in 1980, one million in 1990, more than two million today.
Are American people really so much worse than us?
I don't think so.
3) You claim that America is a Christian country, "under God".
Well, most American Churches today support treating illegal immigrants humanely, including Evangelicals (one reason is that Hispanics is the fastest-growing segment of their membership).
We did something similar to that about 160 years ago, most believe that was a mistake.
Frick, deport them all.
