Which came first, the chicken or the egg? If the egg, who would have sat on it and waited for it to hatch? What would have happened to the lone egg? It makes perfectly logical sense that the chicken came first.
So, which comes first, stricter border control, or immigration law reform? Do we let the immigrants get in without a fight and then enforce stricter laws? Or, do we make the border hard to cross and leave the laws how they stand? Republicans solve the problem by enforcing stricter border control. Democrats want reform.
So, what should come first? What will solve the problem?
In recent debates, presidential candidates in the GOP seem to be spending more time trying to decide how to keep illegals from crossing our borders. Candidates in the DNC see things differently however. They want to deal with the immigrants who have already made it over.
There is talk in the DNC of new immigration reform that could possibly surface this coming December. If you ask me, that's a smart move for them. Especially for the party that is looking to secure Hispanic votes.
With the upcoming election, citizens want reassurance from candidates that something is being done about the problem of immigration. Illegals want reassurance too but on a different level. They see reform as bought time here in America and possibly increased chances for naturalization.
From what I see, democrats have figured out how to answer both.
