Long ago, I used to participate in the immigration threads, to some extent, but haven't in quite some time because of the heated discussions and no solutions in sight. So, sorry if I'm not up to date on what the most current thoughts/threads are about.....I don't agree with open borders or amnesty to those here illegally. From what I understand is Hannity's viewpoint, I agree. There are plenty who've been standing in line, waiting to get in, legally. They should be the ones rewarded for following the rules and laws. The ones who haven't been, when, then I say, what's the point of having rules and laws if there's no negative consequences? Even my children knew how much they could get away with when/if I didn't follow through with consequences when they violated rules.

If this issue of line-jumping is much more important to you than stopping terrorists and criminals, then feel free to speak your mind; the naughtiness of line-jumping does deserve some measure of thought but not nearly as much as our need to separate the productive and peaceful from the nefarious and criminal. It's not an either-or issue, as the duty to obey laws can be satisfied with a monetary fine or other.

Usually we see the anal-retentive types smugly driving at the speed limit in the fast lane, imperiously demanding that any law-breaking speeders maneuver around them.
