In a weekend interview with Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera, action star and conservative activist Chuck Norris pointed out that most undocumented immigrants are “good and law abiding” and even proposed a three-step plan for providing them with a path to legalization.
A snippet of the interview:
NORRIS: A lot of my [KickStart] students parents were or are illegal immigrants. But they’re making a living here and they’re law-abiding citizens. And my solution to it is give them a work-permit for two years, and for two years — if they maintain their law-abiding status — then give them a permanent worker permit. And in three years after that, let them apply for their US citizenship.
RIVERA: We should lobby Gov. Huckabee about that. Because I say if the Republicans reached out to Latinos on the issue of immigration, I think that the Republicans would be the majority Party.
NORRIS: Oh, I think Mike would go for this.
Think Progress first reported this on their Wonk Room Blog. You can read the remainder of this article here.
Frankly, I’m surprised and pleased to see these comments coming from Norris. Especially after aligning himself with Jerome Corsi and the Right Wing home for conspiracy theorists, World Net Daily.
It goes to prove when good American’s take the time to sift through the hype and bullshit being thrown out by right wing extremists such as William Gheen of ALIPAC and others, there can be common sense solutions found.
Consider this comment left on the WONK ROOM as proof of my above opinion.
What!? Chuck Norris is way to common-sensical! That liberal idiot!
I have a better idea: Why don’t we just IGNORE the 10 million or so undocumented immigrants, and try to make their life as difficult as possible, fill them with fear and their U.S.-born children with resentment…If that doesn’t work, we can round them up one by one and deport their brown asses south of the border.
What about their children? Those children had no business being born to illegal parents! And the fact that they’re not turning their parents in to Homeland Security means their aiding and abetting criminals, and so they should be deported too!
Chuck Norris is a communist, Marxist stooge and he’s openly admitted to teaching martial arts to the children of undocumented immigrants!!! He should be deported too!
You see, anyone who doesn’t agree with William Gheen and others, is a communist, a marxist, a traitor and a stooge. I think that could be used to describe those who post comments such as that.
