#6 "Please Turn Out the Lights..."

The Mexican-American by the name of, Daniel D. Portado, from California made up this satirical movement that was created for laughs. Until 2012 Republican Candidate, Mitt Romney used this same “self-deportation” topic to open the ears of other republicans out there. I, myself, am a Democrat that goes against most of everything any republican wants.  But this particular “joke” about changing the illegal immigrant problem, actually had me agreeing with the National Review – “FAIR.”  Giving me an example of how a true republican would go about it.  Although, it actually might have hurt Romney more than it will help him in the near future. Using the Florida poll from the video, this source showed you the numbers of a gradual decline from 2008 to 2012. The percentage of republicans who were for the deportation of illegal immigrants declined.

I feel as if it was the beginning of an idea that could be repaired to improve the future, because some immigrants would choose to “self-deport.” If they created an alternative way to give illegal immigrants a path toward citizenship, a chunk of those immigrants would choose the easier way out and get deported.  Opening massive amounts of jobs everywhere and getting closer to solving unemployment. The reasons to why we should have this broken immigration system fixed, is what kept me from actually laughing when I heard this “joke.” These illegal immigrants have been taking too many jobs from us citizens for years, therefore, are bringing down the quality of life more after every year.  “What it means to be an American is in the hearts of the people who, in their struggles and heartaches, in their joys and triumphs, fight for America and fight to be American every day,” says the Huff Post.
