Don't we want the best and brightest? Why would we deport someone who is obviously working hard to succeed. Don't we want that?

WR -- good morning talk -- here. Nice -- nice. Cool sea breeze but off nearly -- The for the going on the warmer it'll be. So some parts will be nice OK let's very this education story a little bit and throw some illegal immigration into it. An eighteen year old girl graduating high school in Virginia. You've heard these stories before she came to the country illegally at age four. She speaks better English then Spanish she wants to go to college or become a nurse her knowledge about modern watchdog Guatemala commerce. More from what she's read on the Internet than any personal experience because all of her personal experience is before. Age four so we came in this morning we're looking at this story and cooks he says. I think we should keep her and send -- the other deadbeats to some other country. A very interesting question I know in this scheme of things that people are not very sympathetic I am not very sympathetic. To any discussions about. Tom helping people in the country illegally. Yet I think when this whole thing shakes out right if you're writing illegal immigration -- today to get this whole thing. Fix if I was gonna write a new immigration plan. It would include some. Little old superstar clause that would let -- great students. Great young people. Stay in the country now I I wouldn't propose this before we -- crack down before we get things under control -- just saying as part of the crackdown. As part of getting things under control as part of creating a reasonable. System. Of immigration shouldn't it include. A superstar clause that -- Q let's get to remain in the country like this one. Her name is -- done. -- yeah. Haiti McHale I'm not sure her name is actually I'm not sure how to set let's call it Haiti. HE YDI all right she's this eighteen year old she's doing great in school she wants -- -- culture wants to become a -- Everybody loves sir she does great work she's a model student model citizen -- she's not a citizen. What are you wanna do whether you wanna send her home 61726668. Sexy. There have been several. Conservatives. Who have popped up and said you know among the new Gingrich who said during the campaign. That we have to do allow. Some sort of loophole. Debt keeps people in the country who've been here since they were young threw no action on their own. And I agree with that I just feel that it can't happen. Until we resolve the other issues but when you have students like this. It creates a any interesting moral dilemma. And that is what you do when you have a student who's better than the ones who belong here. Coming out of our schools is live here their whole lives you have an exception in your heart or in your mind. For people like Haiti. Good morning Anthony you're in -- Absolutely got. -- broke the law. How long she bag here how long is that the only bad here wedding -- if conservatives. What do they -- it needs some real plate -- side he's gotten a loopy idea depressed until they broke the law. You've got to go do -- stick around here are all -- it and kept here another country do you. Not -- I thought it I'm not talking about letting the parents -- but I'm saying if you have an eighteen year old coming out of high school should you allow her some kind of circumventing all this mass. It's just throw parents out but if she wants to -- go to college why not. Well because you know what you're giving them too many breaks. You know you want to pay that all bold and it. I don't know it's not -- big thing you know tropic is just no way they broke the -- a lot of us so he hit it can't afford college. Well I'm not saying you should refer to go to college. What you -- part about our dinner legally it's it they broke the rules that they -- that's not our problem. I don't nobody eluded me. All right Anthony thank you I knew I would six point 72666862. Are saying is if you have kids who were good. We need more young people right and if you have a kid graduating high school who's a superstar she came here when she's four years old. I'm not saying you excuse the crimes -- parents I'm saying you face the reality of the moment and that is. A young person who's prepared to contribute. And who you'd be doing some kind of Coral -- to the senate back to another country 6172666. Seats succeeds Stephen good morning RR KO. What is it and try itinerant show saying he's talk what that -- -- all right. Well go ahead my no way no way registered to sharpen your body is put the chatter on the -- -- watch a lot. What you you -- actually could break out and -- trying to cover their way around and catch. But it gives you valuable future every illegal literature it will be because that's who -- -- -- -- that's that's great you name it that could be. -- stop taught that would be. Stephen good point I appreciate you make in the call frank your -- are -- good morning. -- I thought I'm doing well you all. See here eighteen years older fourteen years to eradicate scrapie. Carefree mark and there will be based first school public education by are actually are -- Back Bernard how she can't talk. Well -- the argument would be you know. That we've already made the investment in her why shouldn't we get the return on their investment. Because she's here illegally young and very simple I mean -- You know -- -- break -- -- you're gonna be prosecuted some illegal breaks a lot over will be prosecuted or they are very late to give a talk show and triggered. I want her parents deported I want everybody to be treated. As if they did something wrong when they came here but when somebody came at four years old. And she would be an asset to us are we got cutting off our nose to bid despite our face if we send her out to. Well you know that that -- finally thank you I believe you're writing your opinion is -- -- -- him but I don't think it's correct because of issues here illegally should -- -- back. Kelly's parents of these anchor babies. They should go back to her homeland to and after that actually graduate school in their country is eighteen. -- US citizen will be welcome back here. All right frank do you actually touched on a very good point which I'm not sure how to resolve you can make the argument. That this would provide a further incentive. For other parents to come in with -- anchor babies and hope they can get them to whatever age of eligibility there is. For being able to stay for their kids nevertheless that's a pretty high threshold. And it's a pretty unusual thing to you know for somebody real pull off 6172666860. The trouble is I think. If we're the ones who were close to this story. If we say it's your kid who's come home with a friend all right. What -- your instinct be if your kid is coming home with a friend. Who they'd go there were seniors in high school and they go to school with this girl she's a great student she's a wonderful girl she's a great contributor to our society. It's her parents who do the wrong thing. Not her she got pride here when she was four she didn't come on our own -- we've paid to putter through school. Why kick around now she's ready to contribute it's a very interesting situation. Mike good morning -- our jail. -- -- Good morning -- great topic. I have to say you know he'll look at the compassionate conservative response. And anybody touched on it says that last call aware of this anchor baby issue. I'll let all the more under certain age they came here at a certain age stay here but. With the exception that that that the end of that we in the anchor baby. Idea. Right now. They also make a deal with the liberals does he created this whole -- by letting them stay here in the first. There's a good trade is another thing that I have and I think -- it go go in the trade and and that is we just can't keep a accommodating the family members. Of people who eventually do get citizenship so most our immigration. Is coming from people who get their papers and then they bring their parents over they bring their siblings over. They're grandparents what have you so I'll throw that in the video and I'd like your deal might. Thank you for that are 6172666860. I I just I want you don't want us to be overly emotional on immigration it's an emotional issue. I know emotional about it I cannot stand even though we'd let parents bring their kids and register for school when -- five years old. Without saying excuse me you're here illegally that's just irrational self destructive in my mind. But after the -- been here and we've given our all education and she's ready to contribute she's a superstar. It's in our best interest to keeper in the country and she's a banner citizen even though she's not a citizen that a lot of kids. Org are flocking out of high school horror just coasting through accomplishing nothing Richard ERK a good morning. Yeah absolutely blow blow but you have to consider that if we only send back people who are now able to get an education or who dropped out. That is going to be a burden on the countries that are receiving them about whether or citizens. That does somebody like Canadian men -- would be. Somebody who would be able to be -- not -- to Guatemala. Got. The -- bugged. This somebody who could contribute to the nursing profession. In the country that their problem and also somebody who would be. Able to speak English fluently should be able to interact with nonprofits says that most. That's all good on a macro point of view. But if you really want to take somebody who's never known -- country to send them there and say you have to -- lived there. And die you'll be a good contributor you know it it it makes sense when you're talking about policy doesn't make sense when -- segment in the individual life that's why -- asking you to personalize this you know it's your high school kid coming home with a friend. Who desperately wants to stay in this country because this is her home the only home she's ever known. The only place she can remember she doesn't speak Spanish she speaks English she doesn't know -- off from my Ethiopia. There are plenty of Americans who grew up in other countries and then return to the United States that the senate should -- it is expected to. Well they -- they might do that because they want to a quick break we'll continue the conversation thank you Richard for the call. The -- -- -- 680 WRKO. -- -- -- Talk of the day is always right here. On Boston news talk station AMC TVW. Talk cyber -- WRKO. Did your first seven days. -- unless you're on the coast -- Nice sunny day. Hi welcome to another week we're talking about illegal immigration from the point of view of the education. And when there is one of these. Inspiring students stories. And in this case say. -- who got brought over when she was four years old -- parents is eighteen graduating high school feels hopeless about her future. Because her family is being deported and that includes her and I'm wondering how you feel I'm proposing. That when we do illegal immigration when we get it all straightened out and get crackdown on at the one of the things we should have as an opportunity for kids like her. To be able to stay just on a practical level when you have a dynamic young person. Who can contribute to the society itself destructive I think to send them away is -- And out my main concern over illegal immigration is that a represents a coup attempt on the part of those who promoted. That they want to -- the country with people they think they can manipulate politically. And we need to be a country of laws some with that we need SuSE have a secure border. But we also need to be rational inside of that and not just emotional there's a lot of emotion connectedness. And with good reason. But I think when you have a superstar kid. It will be a good time for us to make an exception and say you know what that. That kid is somebody we can use here. And I'd like Mike's idea of trading you for some policy change you know when you look at some of the the mortar task aspects of the illegal immigration policy. In say world trade that one. For this one I'm not given up the ghost on mighty tough stand on illegal immigration I'm trying to work through the idiosyncrasies. Of how -- implement when we get control of the world. And it can make immigration policy rational. What will allow rational policy consists of I think you'll consist of keeping kids here. Who are fully americanized in terms of their knowledge their education their culture their language. And taking advantage of the skills you agree or disagree 61726668. Succeeds -- -- -- are you good morning. I'm and I could be you do well you hit when we get control of the world. As huge as you just stated. We knew we get control the world by keeping control of our lives in keeping them clean where you sit there or was. Earlier you said that got my problem you hit the nail on the head. That not my problem. They broke the law. Ended discussion well. And here I'm not disputing now what I'm saying is is this the opposite of a problem is this a benefit. That is sitting their front are faces the maybe we should consider grabbed him. They've got a -- is. To show people in this world aren't our cities are down our country do we are we are -- nation of -- And if you break the -- out there are consequences to it but consequential this blog being broke is they go back to their original and -- -- -- -- do you view a four year old -- two year old her three year old being brought here by her parents illegally do you view her as a law breaker. Or as just a victim offer parent. The whole family are lawbreakers. But the family of lawbreakers they need to go back they can apply to come back into the country but legal way. The way it should be if you don't start they didn't deals pod if you start. There are getting this warm touchy feeling well will just when then he won't let that put in you know abandoning his stand that appeared to all rolled out there. You're saying well outlet to steal from this bank but -- I won't let you speak to your real nice guy right. I know I didn't I got just got I end and I respect your opinion you know it's. It's difficult for me to even think about compromising as well I'm rich I'm try to project into the future. And see what's realistically gonna happen because I think that this why why you try to personalize I think if your kid was coming home from high school. With a friend who was in this circumstance. Foley about about about equivalent member of the kids society as far as they can tell stories your child can tell. Except that that she got. She had something really bad and or by her parents when she was young. And the question whether you seize that opportunity where they're going to be practical. Or whether or these full. Illegal immigration thing is so volatile so emotional still we can't even think about it. 6172666. Seats succeed Jim good morning -- They're more in charge I kinda you know my point in your last caller I mean it is. You got a mom and dad to bring a four year old kids into the country illegally. And been committed. Clearly very district and a lot GT and it's illegal alien without. Very all right but we're the perpetrators and -- the -- And in Orange object and I attend church -- the perpetrators. -- don't like this picture the direct. Bulletin is one of the victims are of course our society is a victim as well yes. Absolutely I mean -- it's conservative law and order as they get. But you know -- can hold accountable for year old church just about anything they -- I've got kids -- year old don't. You know make decisions about integrating other country. And by the way if you do this to an eighteen year old trees -- when eighteen year old lucky parents have to leave but if you wanna stink in junior education. We will give you some kind of education visa and you can stay here and then -- your education I don't see where that's undermining. Our overall argument especially it should be a small number of people when you have some spectacular young person who we've invested heavily -- Right you know what. She literally not a problem illegal immigration. I mean most -- bunch it would be illegal immigration problem and it's huge and manifest. But we're focusing and you know. -- be important part of it -- if we're down just like this send them all. You know and the gang members and LA and San Diego -- sealing the border in building fences. Daniel Orton cork in the bottom of our leaky bucket. And you know. But now -- shot loud. I'm with you on all -- -- on nicely put thank you for that frank you're NW RTL what's up frank. Great charter march. I'm not -- -- -- -- -- I think -- did your bid history regional security or certain circular which -- a actually you are one of the previous -- sorry about your -- actually let rich or more arms. Policy change much and they made me reporter Russia and China is no payment plan you know Giamatti has achieved in the country illegally -- -- trying to. Still strong we are alleged abolished through church -- action but it's very gracious what Williams does radar. This way we could have the payback of a functional. The person ready to contribute who we've paid. To do that so we -- somebody graduates high -- and it often go to college so they pay for that okay. And then they go out into the workforce and they pay taxes that's when society starts getting it's payback. On having contributed to the upbringing of a child. -- if she leaves. That's our worst case scenario on a strictly financial -- -- separate from the arguments about good policy he Regis talking financially. Where our best moment when that person spends the rest of -- are -- -- here paying taxes. Brent and I are machine and are very inefficient -- action like many -- -- -- -- No go to school there are strapped to actually a 100000 dollar in debt then you have to pay that in addition to China -- replicate. I'm -- -- really are we propose that she actual played yesterday trying to charm. And yes senator back to the country operational army as a cheap here illegal. All right thank you have frank that's it is actually mr. -- idea some kind of penalty image sort of what. A lot of compromise programs have proposed the trouble is those -- all proposed by people we don't trust in terms of their commitment to actually wanting. To crackdown on illegal immigration will go to Tom next good morning if you talk. It's -- good morning. If you're right that a lot of emotion in this sub prime emotion and the difference between conservatives and liberals is the use emotion you know wouldn't we go more towards large excel. -- -- anybody grants amnesty to anyone you really up close the borders. I think you should really that the -- all the illegal without criminal records and apple fixed the thirteenth amendment. If you can't do any amnesty before that the GOP is looking like they might even tried next year county party song I'll just by the GOP what I think they're gonna do. Have to close the barn door otherwise you're gonna have been a big wide open door and everyone's gonna wanna come here and try to -- peace love so you get to -- right. I agree with you and ending you know what I what I'm discussing this for down the road when. When the moment comes I'm assuming that the GOP is gonna win the presidency this November. And we're gonna control congress and I you know probably 6% as well and that'll be the chance to straighten some of these policies out. We're gonna have to deal with some realities I think this just one little Ole stacked. On the whole -- illegal immigration thing and that is star high school students who were brought here illegally when they were very very young do we. -- -- ship them out as Hillary take advantage of the opportunity they represented Stevie RR KO -- They're good morning he keeps saying that now ready to contribute she's -- to contribute she got another -- the college. That we're gonna end up paying for particular spot and an American and American girl or guy might be applying for nursing school. You know she's taking not far from them you know our great she's a great student that's wonderful but you can't tell me that you think -- what speaking Spanish. You know she says oh well I hope.
