I'm sounding an early alarm that we, (eg the USA as a country), must forever remain vigilant. You may think my feelings absurd, but history has proved, over and over again, that the horrors of fascism can take hold of a country, and impose itself before anyone realizes its seeds have even been planted.
Compassionate, humanitarian improvements and enforcement of an immigration policy is fine. It should be uniform throughout the country, which would require congressional legislation defining an overall policy and agency in charge, and of course, application of Constitutional protections. I don't favor ad hoc immigration law and enforcement policy among the various levels of government, (eg Federal, state, and local governments). That would lead to confusion resulting in harsh inequalities and even worse should the country become fascist. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. -- anonymous Regards, LelandJ On 10/03/2010 11:50 AM, Michael Oke, II wrote: > How do you justify grouping those three grossly different entities > together?
