We're hardly past the point for legal immigration. The problem is not immigration numbers but quality. Asinine programs which give preference to illegal immigrants, diversity lottery immigrants, family connections in this day of cheap airline travel ($200 for a ticket from Chicago to Mexico City, for crying out loud!) and other tweaks that have nothing to do with selecting quality should be aboloished.

On the other hand, quality immigrants who bring needed skills to our economy and make great American citizens should be encouraged. Our native population is not reproducing at replacement level nor are we turning out the numbers of graduates in science and math needed to maintain our competitive edge. Even countries like Singapore and Japan allow such targeted immigration and they are far more crowded than we are-- ever take a cross-country trip and seen just how much open space this country has got?

How about someone taking Hagel on in a primary? That's a far better option than helping a RAT by voting Constitution Party. They're only there to raise money. They make no positive difference at all.

Then we could give thieves a chance and child abusers and murders..

These are people that have demonstrated that the US law means nothing .

I expect a turn over in the house next cycle because no matter how hard they try they can not win with the illegals votes

Sounds good to me, but what happens when Hagel wins the primary anyway, because he's the one with the funding and support from the party apparatus? What do we do then?

They keep telling conservatives if you dont support amnesty for illegals they dont want you in the party and dont need you. At some point you have to grant them their wish and let them live with the consequences.

Keep trying. I know from hearing KFAB that he is vulnerable. A good Republican should be able to take him out.
