I posted earlier in the week in regards to the POTUS's coments on immigration.

Now my social media feeds are riddled with pictures like this.

How should we position ourselves to support this when negative statistic after negative allegation are coming out.

Are we still the Land of Opportunity (with rules), or have we becomnation that has become a nation that caterers to 'illegal' activity and is killing itself economically in the process.

SFC (Join to see), if you are saying that you disagree with "rewarding" illegal activity - and that's what I think you are saying - then I'm with you. I just don't understand it. I agree with the President's comments about finding a middle ground for all the illegal immigrants in our country, but I disagree with giving legal status to people who came here illegally. As the President said, mass deportation is not an option (agreed), and mass amnesty is also not an option. I believe he said the comment about amnesty as he was describing his executive action as middle ground.

I don't know what that middle ground should look like, but I do agree with the President that we need to be somewhere in the middle. Here's hoping Congress will take meaningful action on immigration reform in 2015.

Change is good, but definately have no idea how to go about it.
I believe in that country I learned about in a small school in northern Arkansas; but I disagree with how some people have attempted to live the America dream.

With that said, and this is totally off topic, but in 2009 as a SSG in the Army awaiting the arrival of my first child, my family didn't qualify for WIC. Not saying I deserved a handout, but at what cost are we currently running at?

I've seen some amazing statistic and of course they are probably biased, but man, some of thats eu could have helped some current citizens.

I agree with you on that point. I think we have immigration laws and policies for a reason. And rewarding the violation of those laws seems wrong.

I also agree that plenty of U.S. citizens could use the boost being given to illegals.
