Many of them deeply admire the U.S. and want to be a part of it, legally.

The same can be said of many in China, India, Vietnam, Haiti, etc. We can't take them all in. There has to be limits

National ID card is a joke right now. People who round up illegals to work for them know they are illegal. Do you think it's lack of a card that is an issue?

The work americans won't do is offensive BS. I remember back 25 years ago in Southern California. The construction workers were white, black, and american born latino in that order. They were well willing to do the damn work. They want things like social security, workman's comp and insurance though. That is why there are illegals doing it now. This fallacy of jobs americans won't do is such BS. It's jobs Americans won't do for well under the standard wage.

We as Americans don't expect to work a job, living 12 males in a 1 bedroom apartment. We are soft that way. This is a freaking joke. Our government has let us down.

"Time FReepers quit wining, and started asking "how can we help"! "

FReepers do something? Action to back up their words?

You ask too much!

What kind of hyperbole are you talking about? Why are you so unwilling to discuss facts, rather than rant? For example, I'm still waiting to hear if you distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.

Jim, I gotta say that the "whack a troll" line is one of the great ones ever posted.

I have a feeling THAT line will inspire an entirely new photo-shop tradition to rival the viking kitties!

Well, I am sure I have missed at least a couple zots... So, IATZ just in case...

Having listened to the speech, I have to say that I like what I hear. I can swallow a limited "Amnesty" program if the Borders are sealed. I hope sincerely that the NG can really effect some change. I am glad that he has laid oaut 1.2.3.4.5. what they are going to do. Let's see what happens.

"don't let the McCain Kennedy BS see the light of day"

Now i think you're sincere; but there are some border trolls on here to blame Bush for rejecting that mccain kennedy bs.

My personal two cents on this:

The more things change, the more they say the same.

Was the Bracero program started in 1945 "amnesty" as well? Here's the White House factsheet just posted:

1) How long would it take to build a wall that would satisfy those who want a wall?

As long as it takes.

2) What do we do with the illegals in our country while this wall is being built?

Put 'em to work building the damn wall. Just make sure as the last brick is put in place, that they're on the OTHER side of the wall.

" He should have stopped after the first 7 minutes ..."

The first part was strong, the second part should have had a violin accompaniment.
What has happened to this White House ?
I am shocked and saddened at how soft and quite frankly, out of touch, they have become this second term.

Hey I was in the Marines. If you serve our country in the armed services, get and honorable discharge, then you can become a citizen. This was in when I was in the Marines. This is the one rule I do not have a problem with...

"Reform? How about enforcing the laws already on the books?"

I have posted nothing on this thread about reforms of any sort, and posted nothing addressed to you.
