I think people talk "big" all the time.....Many couldn't, nor wouldn't "walk that talk".

Now I also think if you choose to break up the argument in the way that you did...you end up instantly polarizing the anti's. And that was the basis of my reply to you.

"I'm all for immigration, it keeps us fresh with new hungry blood. But I'm also for the "American Melting Pot" as opposed to the "American Stew". I believe in diversity within a culture, not diversity of cultures. So I am for legal immigration, against illegal immigration, and am opposed to the extremists on both sides."

Basically I agree..........although I think that our naturalization and immigration laws are badly in need of reform. For instance..there is NO WAY in the world that we should allow that a baby born here is automatically a U.S. citizen.

Fwiw-
