Illegal Immigrants

Cold and windy in SD, at least around Highmore, but that's weather in SD, so we have to put up with it, but South Dakota is still a great place to live. Let's examine the question of illegal immigrants, mostly Mexicans, and should they be given amnesty.
The answer is no. I think Bush had the right idea when he suggested six month work permits. They could be applied for by applicants that would be registered and allowed to come into the states only when requested by an employer if the employer first gave American citizens a chance to do the job by advertising and listing needs with employment agencies. The workers would have to check in at the port of entry and be identified so they could be tracked at all times. If they did not check out at the end of the six month period and did not request and justify an extension they would be deported and their permit revoked. As to whether we should pay social security to Mexicans that went back to Mexico. If they were in the states legally and paid into social security yes, otherwise no.

I have two bowling teams in the Highmore bowling leagues, and I pulled a muscle in my thigh so can't bowl right now but still play cards, pool, and golf when the weather is fit.
I am glad the Senate body got a chance to review the charges against Dan Sutton. Not because of my interest in the case, but because I feel that a judge should not have the right to overrule the senate body that we elected to make our laws. A judge is supposed to interpret the laws not make them.
