Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Bienvenideos a America. Aqui hablamos Espanol.

So - immigration. Living in California these past nine years, I guess I'm sorta at the front lines when it comes to the issues of what should our country do about the illegal alien issue.

Keeping in mind the pros and cons of the issue, this is how I see it. Everyone on this planet - EVERYONE - wants to carve out the best life they can for themselves and no one can blame them for it. You. Me. Juan Gomez. Mike Chang. Sean O'Malley and Steve Smith. That being said, if someone wants to come to the US...fine. But they must obey our laws. That means you can't enter the country illegally. I can't go over to Ireland and just stay there like the Mexicans feel they can do here. And it's not a racial issue. Why should they be given special privleges? Laws and codes of morals and ethics are in place so there is order - not anarchy. You stop at a red light. You pay your taxes. You don't shoot a person because he gave you a look. If that all sounds too elementary, then why is having a law in place to keep illegal aliens - from any country - from entering the US without going through the proper channels such a hubbub, bub?

The current immigration bill in Washington that grants "amnesty" to illegal aliens - well, depends on who you talk to, regarding "amnesty". There are provisions in the bill, such as forcing illegal aliens to return home and apply for legal status in our country. Whatever. The point is America IS and has been known as "the land of the free". Fine. However, rules and regulations must be in place to ensure that America - 200 years from now - isn't an overcrowded, shit-hole. And don't say that it can't happen. Honestly, how many us really think in terms of the future of our country? We worry about the here and now, or in terms of the length of our own lives - or the length of our children's or grandchildren's lives.

I think it's wonderful people want to come to America. Just follow our laws and your stay here will be more pleasant. And then you can sign up for the selective service (military); we can tax you, you can help build the wall along the US/Mexico border, etcetera, ad finitum and THEN you truly will be AMERICANS.
