Real ID for Illegal Immigration
By: Lance Winslow
There are many who oppose the Real ID program to curb illegal immigration. They claim it is not fair to the illegal aliens and the attack the idea. They rant about the Republican Party and complain about the commander in chief. Yet when we ask them; “Your point is in all this sound and fury, young man? You disagree with REAL ID, is that it? Why? I am open for discussion - let’s debate the issues!”
We agree humans are not perfect, that mankind has made mistakes and that we are doomed to repeat if we do not change our ways. So, how does the REAL ID program hurt America? And just so you know I am not completely for it myself.
I believe in immigration, just not illegal immigration. I believe we need a more robust system to take in people legally and prevention from illegal entry. ID cards, RFID satellite chipped, medical tests, money in pocket when coming over the border. $100.00 if shopping, $1500 if staying here to work and/or live and become a citizen after a probationary period. Isn’t that how all of us got here, except for some Spanish, French and English original settlers and the African Slaves and North American Indians who were here first?
Nobody wants to deny fair access to our nation for those who are deserving yet today we have 33% of our prisons filled with illegal aliens, who really were not suppose to be here in the first place. For every illegal alien in prison we could have sent 6 American kids to college? So, whereas Real ID may not be the answer, I would like to hear a better suggestion and I’m, lets hear it? If not shouldn’t we move ahead to do something about this growing crisis. Streamlining the system for legal immigration and stopping the illegal immigration? Think on this.
