" I was not bearing false witness against all of them for the crimes of some."Your comment said Bush was right, they're doing work American's won't do. THe implication is clear.
"America was founded by LEGAL IMMIGRANTS"
The native Americans disagreed. They were just short on combat power.
" The descendants of these legal immigrants and slaves are being burdened by the illegal mass invasion from the south. "
Since when are hard working gainfully employed folks a burden? Have you been paying attn here, the proposal calls for correction and fix?
" Those who cannot enter this country legally should strive for a better opportunity at home."
Some do, but I certainly can't find any evil in some others that come here for a better life. Others don't either and that's a significant reason the present situation exists. The proposal calls for eliminating that as a stumbling block to effective LE.
"Allegiance by American citizens to their own country."
You're not trying to advocate an America right, or wrong sort of obedience are you? Liberty and Justice are concepts that require understanding and judgement. Perhaps you can explain how there is more justice in maintaining the present situation, even if enforcement approaches zero tolerance, than there is in creating an implementation of the proposal?
My comment was that in this light, Bush was right. The implication is that drug dealers and felons are "jobs" that Americans (hopefully) won't do. And, on this thread, that is what is being given the light of day.
There have been many numerous postings about the enormous costs brought by illegals. You are free to look them up, and read the many graphs and government statistics showing that billions of dollars are spent every year for the health education and welfare of illegals. In many rural communities, medical clinics have been forced to close due to the influx of so many illegals.
No matter how hard working many illegals may be they are criminals the moment they crossed our borders illegally.
The average American has sacrificed a great deal for the rest of the world. We have fought world wars. We have sent foreign aid and knowledge. We allow foreigners to study here and become educated.
All of this is paid for by the American taxpayer. The bill for illegals is becoming increasing difficult to pay. Especially when many low-income Americans are losing their jobs to non-Americans, even illegals.
Furthermore, the income level is dropping due to illegals. Jobs in canneries, car washes, hotels, janitorial and other industries were once jobs that Americans held and could actually live on. Not any more.
And then there is the bilingual nonsense. That is also costing Americans money.
Regarding your comment about legal immigration; the Native Americans were many tribes and nomadic, not having any borders. Undoubtedly they have been ill-treated and lied to repeatedly by our government. But, that is for another thread...
