We March for America! March for America Reform Immigration For America

We certainly need to reform out immigration process, which is a bureaucratic nightmare of the highest order.

There needs to be a path to citizenship for current illegal immigrants that doesn't unfairly reward them for their criminal entry into the country at the expense of those who are currently enduring the maze-like bumbling bureaucracy that is the USCIS. America became what it is because of lawful immigration and assimilation of many different cultures into one nation.

Honestly, having dealt with the USCIS for many years, I can perfectly understand why people give up on the legal immigration process and just overstay visas. It's truly that bad.

It will be interesting to see how this goes down. I'm hoping that the organizers have learned from prior events and there isn't a big display of Mexican flags, etc.

For some reason, mainstream America isn't moved by folks marching in DC under a foreign flag.....

Immigration reform is like Love. It means 'different things to different people' as the old song goes. The continuum goes from shooting immigrants dead at the border to complete amnesty. This one won't be fixed in my lifetime or that of my children.

Much like in the past, there will be plenty of American flags for those willing to see them...

Any policy which doesn't first deport them is unfairly rewarding them.

Kick them the fuck out, then let them go through legal channels...
