By the posts here, you are the textbook definition of the modern progressive. :Hatred of the right, no matter the policy; Centralized control of power; Taxes solve every problem; No respect for BOR, constitution; Scream about intolerance - while being the most intolerant people on the planet. etc
But you still don't know how you get your plan to work.
Look, I don't blame you for deflecting. The simple truth is, the plan to "just" enforce the law won't work because that is what they are already trying. Do you think Border Patrol just sits around all day waving to people as they cross the border? Do you think they are being held back and if so, the name names. Who is holding them back? Nobody is, they are trying to sweep the flood waters out the door with predictable results.
One last time, then I am out. We need something different. We need a wall, we need more border guards and we need to make it hard to be here illegally. Congress is dysfunctional and because the Republican party contains the freedom caucus and RINOs, they are dysfunctional too. Fortunately Schumer has handed Republicans a gift by putting the full weight of the Democrat party behind DACA. Not quite anything, but anything reasonable sounding that Republicans can put together is something they have to support. They cannot oppose a wall on any grounds, including that it costs money. They cannot oppose more border guards. I really don't think they can oppose a way for federal laws to override state laws which try to negate immigration law because then they would be taking a stance for lawlessness. And I don't think they can oppose laws making to very difficult to be here illegally.
The cost? Republicans have to compromise and use DACA to force Democrats to vote yes. Democrats have put their moral prestige behind DACA, they cannot afford to oppose it. But if they did it might even be the unifying force which brings enough Republicans together to pass it anyway, although there will be some wrangling to be done in the Senate...I suspect reminding a few Senators that they DO want to vote for this or else their picture will be next to the words "screw the Dreamers" in Spanish on billboards all over their state.
Thats it.
BTW, I spent 4 years, 3 months poking holes in the ocean in a submarine to serve this country. I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, an oath that had no expiration date. The next time you want to throw down about me and the Constitution, keep this in mind. I do not want thanks, I do not want parades, but I will ask you not to insult me by questioning the sincerity of my promises and the integrity of my service. Roger that?
