Just listen to the liberals. You will learn something new every day. < /sarcasm >
The US allows about 50,000 legal Mexican workers in the US. We have over 10 MILLION illegals in the US...mostly from central America. Do the math. The US has the jobs. Business wants the workers. Only the knuckle dragging PaleoCons who fear they will be excluded from their life long career in toilet cleaning are stoping Dubya from giving "illegal" workers with long histories of paying Social Security the chance to continue paying taxes.
FReepers, illegal immigration tears our nation apart, and tears illgal aliens families and marriages apart. No good comes from bad actions. Sooner or later they will need to get their home countries under control, (same as we do) and the sooner they begin - the better. For us; ditto.
Ms. Stock, who is also a lieutenant colonel in the military police of the Army Reserves, said there was a better chance of tracking a terrorist with a driver's license than one without.
So, naturally, terroists won't bother getting a license, like they didn't bother to learn how to land an aircraft.
Yet thousands of illegal immigrants denied driver's licenses will continue to drive, she said, and probably add to the number of hit-and-run accidents and uninsured drivers already on the road.
Has anyone actually proven this? Illegals with licenses won't hit and run but those without licenses will?
I agree. They can also get driver's licenses in Mexico.
But Gloria, a Colombian woman who has lived in Queens since 1991, said she had not driven since the January day when her license was confiscated at the Whitestone motor vehicle office. She had been a licensed driver for 11 years, she said, selling Mary Kay cosmetics from her car to help support her daughter, an American citizen by birth, while working weekends as a baby-sitter for a family of lawyers living on Sutton Place in Manhattan.
"I feel humiliated because I think there's no reason to take it from me," she said. "I was a good driver; I never got a ticket for a red light or passed a stop sign. I always had insurance."
Death is too good for this criminal!!!
...and that is really the saddest thing about PaleoCons. They think the people who clean their toilets and pick their food are less than human when it is really the PaleoCons who have no human feelings for others. So guided by ideology they forgot how to feel.
I will not pray for you.
So your real objective is to condemn these people to a lifetime of toilet cleaning? Or are you implying that these illegals will remain toilet cleaners if Bush would just grant them amnesty?
Way to twist my words. I don't look down on people who do hard work for little pay.
I didn't twist your words. That's what you said.
Basically, if these people remain illegals, toilets is about the best they can do. If they get amnesty, then they move up the economic ladder - albeit by ruining the chances of more deserving immigrants from across the globe.
Which means that these so-called "PaleoCons" may have an argument, correct?
Illegal aliens are working in many different fields of employment besides toilet cleaning. The majority of Americans don't believe in rewarding people who have violated our immigration laws. There are millions of foreigners around the world who are patiently waiting for their turn to legally immigrate to the United States. These are the people who should be rewarded with a green card, not the illegal aliens who have no respect for our laws.
I don’t care if Regan did say it, he is wrong, The United States the result of English Colonization. You could say that we were started by immigrants, but we are not a county of immigrants, and have not been since approximately 1780. Did you not notice that the Constitution says that you have to be born here to be President? 90% of the people here were born here. We are a sovereign nation being INVADED by immigrants, to say other wise is liberal communist propaganda.
They seem perfectly willing to accept low paying jobs. Do you fear a non-English speaking immigrant will take your job? If so I feel sad for you.
I think you're upset because I quoted Reagan and Reagan said the one issue illegal immigrant hating troglodytes are wrong. He gave amnesty to 6 million hard working illegals and didn't do anything to protect the losers who lost their jobs to uncultivated, unskilled, non-English speaking refuges from a 3rd world. Those losers are pathetic and only good for baking macaroni casseroles to pass around at the Constimatushunalist Party convention
Reagan also signed a quite liberal abortion bill in California that he later deeply regretted. He was a man and could be wrong. Quoting any politician like scripture makes you seem like the macaroni baking loser.
You know nothing of history. The Chinese built the railroad in the mid 1800's. Africans built much of the South. Texas and California were owned by Mexico until the mid 1800s.
For the first 100-125 years of America we had no INS or border security. Anyone who wanted to come here and get a job was welcome. About 100 years ago, in the middle of a global Great Depression, people like yourself became paranoid about the Chinese over running America and demanded limitations. Since that time the INS has regulated immigration. Not on the basis of need for workers, but which ethnic group we like the least.
Reagan never disassociated himself from his stance on immigration.
He was a man and could be wrong.
Sometimes he was right.
She didn't steal a car. She worked for a living and supported her mother and daughter you ****. Learn to read.
We also had no welfare state magnet and no social services. There was no incentive to remain here if there was no work, and there was no tax burden on the general population to support the families of immigrants.
