This is how I feel about everybody other than Carson, Rubio, and Santorum. And even those three, well, I've got my questions about.
The thing that really bugs me about amnesty isn't where the people are coming from; it's that if we are a society governed by the rule of law, we shouldn't reward people who break the law by letting them at the front of the line.
I want the government to
1. Secure the Border, because if unvaccinated Mexicans are sneaking across with diseases previously wiped out in this country then so are ISIS members...
2. Reform Immigration by letting people who want to come here get here. Get them vaccinated, get them health care, teach them English, and let them in to integrate with American society.However, this will require an overhaul of the welfare state as we just can't afford to add several million freeloaders.
For Common Core... what are we doing to our kids? That stuff is completely insane.
For matters of Social Justice and helping the poor... Personally, I'd give more if I could. If, say, my taxes were lowered, I could give even more to Catholic Charities where the return on investment is far, far greater than it is in a Government Ponzi scheme.
Look at Hurricane Katrina... FEMA's response was (deservedly) criticized. What's overlooked was how effective Churches and Charities were in helping people in need.
