“Everyone is in favor of free speech… but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” ― Winston Churchill
Mark Steyn analyzes immigration issues. Our government appears to be the biggest problem.
No easy answers on immigration conundrum
All developed countries have immigration issues, but few conduct the entire debate as disingenuously as America does: The president himself has contributed a whole barrelful of weaselly platitudes, beginning with his line that “family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande.” True. They don’t stop at the 49th parallel either. Or the Atlantic shore. Or the Pacific. So where do family values stop? At the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. If you’re an American and you marry a Canadian or Belgian or Fijian, the U.S. government can take years to process what’s supposed to be a non-discretionary immigration application, in the course of which your spouse will be dependent on various transitional-status forms like “advance parole” that leave her vulnerable to the whims of the many eccentric interpreters of U.S. immigration law at the nation’s airports and land borders.
