Well, Yeah—a Path to Another State is a Start.

And I think this will create positive ripple effects. But I’d still like to see a path to citizenship, for those who merely came here to work their butts off. Call me sentimental.

Or: call me the kind of pragmatist for whom a two-pronged attack seems wiser than a frontal assault. (Isn’t there an old saying about “good generalship”? Place that quote for me, please . . . AtH? Mr. Manitoba?)

There are lots of them. How about this one-“To conquer the enemy without resorting to war is the most desirable. The highest form of generalship is to conquer the enemy by strategy.” Tzu Sun

or–“…[T]hus the highest form of generalship is to
balk the enemy’s plans; the next best is to prevent
the junction of the enemy’s forces; the next in
order is to attack the enemy’s army in the field;
and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.

Maybe someone else can do better.. .

If “The Art of War” quotations won’t do, how about “From my own lowly perspective, I’ve always found that good generalship involved having a plan that didn’t suck. Especially in retrospect.” DLS

I would prefer that their first act not be of violating the laws of our nation. Any idea of what happens if you violate the immigration laws of Mexico? They build FENCES on their southern border. Its ridiculous. Send them back then let them apply LEGALLY. If I have to obey all of the @$%**^ laws, so do they, Let me pick the laws I don’t want to obey.
