No argument there, and in fact all the polls say the same thing.
"There is no middle ground. Illegal aliens should go home and apply like the rest of the PLANET. Walking across the border gives them no more rights than the millions who are waiting to LEGALLY enter America."
The tactic is to keep moving your opponent to the "middle ground" until you've gotten everything you want. You're satisfied and your opponents satisfied thinking he's been a reasonable guy. This tactic has worked well for the socialist reformers for years.
"a nation of laws can only function when justice is temper by mercy -- without it, it disolves into a tyranny."
So when does the American citizen and taxpayer get justice and mercy?
Only things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead animals.
"But few border crossers are terrorists or criminals.">>>>>>>>>
Yeah right..../sarc
Here's 52,000 Americans & their families that *might* disagree with you
Keep in mind these are only the top three crimes, & the stats for *only* the last 5 1/2 years.
Read it & weep........

Congressman Pence's plan is an idea that has been shopped around by the Krieble Foundation. In mid-2005, the Krieble Foundation came to FAIR asking our support for its solution to the nation's illegal immigration crisis—a privatized guest worker program that allows illegal aliens to participate. As a core principle, FAIR is opposed to amnesties and mass guest worker programs. FAIR stayed true to its principles and refused to sign on to the Krieble Foundation proposal. Unfortunately, in a well-intentioned but misguided effort to break the ongoing stalemate between the House and Senate, Mr. Pence signed on.
Now called the "Pence plan" and "a compromise" by some, this guest worker program exceeds even the Senate's guest worker plan because there are NO NUMERICAL LIMITS for at least three years. Everyone in the world, including illegal aliens in the United States, is invited to get a guest worker visa, called a "W" visa. Guest workers are immediately allowed to apply for a green card and as long as a guest worker's green card application is pending, his W visa is indefinitely renewable. Thus, this plan is nothing more than a back door amnesty.
The Pence plan is not about finding a legislative means to end our immigration crisis; it is about importing unlimited cheap labor and yet again compromising the future of the American worker. It is no wonder that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were willing to spend so much time learning about this plan. The plan is a gift to those in big business who are willing to sell out the American worker in order to profit off of cheap foreign labor.
Relaxing the most lenient immigration laws in the world is not mercy; it's suicide.
Some here consider that "wage parity." /s
"Perhaps you would like it better if we put them all in camps until we could deport them -- or should we just stad them up in a line and frog march them back across the border?"
How about doing it today, is that soon enough.
Why are you using old talking points?
susie
Actually, why do you care if we actually enforce our laws?
susie
Thank you for doing your best, and your knowledgable coments, and being on the front lines trying to stop illegls with your hands tied behing your back by your superiors.
And mercy should be tempered by justice....
susie
So, in essence you are advocating for a completely open border?
susie
Damn that's a keeper BUMP!...LOL!
