He must be a Bush-hater.

I'm sure Hannity's a real expert on the subject.

Sean is right...Well done...He said the they are rewarding lawlessness.

I see the warning at the top of this thread, and I understand that this is a hot topic here, albeit one in which I've not had occasion to participate.

That said, I question the value of posting 'he said/he said' threads on this topic.

There's a Limbaugh thread, posted a little earlier, that begs the same question.

Does this further the debate?

it amounts to forum pollution, IMHO.

Why would a terrorist need to get on a plane to come into this country? Why not goto South America or Canada and just cross the border like so many illegals already have.

[You Dirty Rats]

Does Sean's use of the word "asinine" constitute flame-speech?

At the very least, his comment is not part of any constructive discussion of the issue.

The existence of millions of illegal aliens who work for very little money and are part of our economy is a cold hard fact. It's all very well to bleat about "getting control of our borders" or "enforcing the law", but it is unrealistic to believe that we are just going to eject every illegal alien -- even if we could.

They are here is such large numbers because:

- They want to earn dollars
- There are jobs for them (mostly low-pay) that others can't or won't fill
- American like eating strawberries and enjoying other fruits (pun intended) of the illegal immigrant labor pool.

In other words, we want them here. We've voted with the almighty buck.

Since they are going to be here anyway, reform of the immigration laws to regulate guest workers and improve security is a perfectly valid solution. I would say that it's asinine to assume that enforcing the current laws (which are not enforceable anyway) is the ONLY solution.

Hannity is correct. Every night an army of illegals, including criminals and possible Islamofascists cross our Mexican borders.

Immigration has always been the lifeblood of America but the laws governing it should be enforced. Illegal invaders should be apprehended and deported. Illegal alien "runners" should be incarcerate for life. Companies which hire ilegals should be put out of business - permanently.

The only immigrants allowed in America should be those who follow our laws and comply with our entry requirements.

Karl Rove is the Republican face of James Carville and Tom Ridge is a meathead.

[Graymatter]

When something's really asinine, you'd be remiss to refrain from calling it that.

I don't understand exactly what, specifically, he said was asinine.

[Kevin Curry]

Sean Hannity just used the word "asinine" in regards to any immigration change until we gain control of the current immigration situation.

Can he do that?

[freeangel]

Asinine, insane--call it what you will, but in the long run it just isn't right to grant these people amnesty when they care not a whit about this countrys laws.
