Steve,
In moving our personal effects from MI to AZ etc., I ran across your book "The Unknown Internment" (personally autographed by the author I might add) and started reading it again. There are so many parallels with AZ that it is uncanny; 70+ years have passed but the situation is pretty much the same save for the cast of characters and without the world war. I am all for allowing immigrants to come to our country to escape persecution or to find a better life for their family but.......
How to handle those that were born in the U.S. does not pose a problem when it comes to legal status; how to handle the illegals that have been in our country for years poses a lot of problems that need a lot of thought and consideration. Rounding them all up and putting them in confinement or shipping them back would be too harsh and very expensive. There are humane ways to give them temporary legal status until they are able to earn full legal status (must be done within a specified period of time, too). In spite of the solutions considered so far I don't see our politicos in D.C. moving to solve the problem. Unless the law change in AZ moves them to act I don't see any permanent solutions any time soon.
Time for you to go to Washington, testify using your wealth of knowledge on the subject and give them the game plan on getting AZ and the rest of the nation out of this mess. Or, you could write another book except looking into the future and make it the business plan solving the current problem. (I would get my normal commission of 10% of course....)
This was just my time to weigh in. Thanks for listening.
B.
