Those Taproots Are Getting Pretty Shallow

One of the biggest excuses pro-amnesty activists use to justify their positions is that these illegal immigrants have been here for years (illegally). Rather than address they\’ve gotten away with breaking the law for years or decades, they instead try to make the point that these families have put down \”roots\”. They\’ve become settled in this spot and to disperse them would cause undue harm to the family.
It comes with no small amount of pleasure when the excuses that activists use to defend illegals, gets utterly destroyed by the illegal aliens themselves.
\’\'It\’s a wave that\’s happening across the United States,\” said Nelson Reyes, executive director of the Central American Resource Center in Houston, which has helped immigrants who recently relocated in Houston from Virginia and South Carolina. \’\'There is a migration, within the United States, to the states and cities more receptive to the reality of the undocumented immigrant.\”
With Arizona and Oklahoma doing the job that the Federal Government won\’t do, by passing state laws against illegal immigration, illegal aliens are already packing up and leaving and moving.
…..wait a second. I thought these families had roots?? Deep deep taproots that would make deporting them impossible. Not just impossible but horribly inconvenient to them. Never mind how inconvenient it is for Americans to pay for them in the form of high taxes, high crime and crowded classrooms/hospitals.
No there is no way these families could be moving so easily. They have roots!! Roots I tell you!!! Because if they didn\’t have roots, it would be no great inconvenience to send them back home. In fact, if they are this nomadic, and if a change of location is so easily accomplished, how different can Dallas be from say….Mexico City? I mean other than Dallas being less of a shithole?

I think that you have identified the humanitarian problem. It would be interesting to know how many of these migrants are going to other states and how many are actually going back where they came from. If they are mostly going home, then making such laws federal would accomplish what we desire, which is sending them all home, maybe to return legally (we don’t care about that). But if they are going to other states to avoid personal tragedy at being “forced” back, it’s hard to justify the cruelty of it, if that’s all we do. “Comprehensive” reform that starts by requiring them to “touch back” in their own country and then apply for legal status, would be arguably better.
Again, that depends on what percentage can actually go home without starvation, etc. Based on the current state experiences, it is probably a much lower percentage than the open borders crowd would have us believe.
