McConnell's wife is Asian-American. She's in the category of those whose efforts to immigrate into America will become exceedingly limited.
The bill is simply the old national origins quotas system but with fewer "national origins" in it.

Deportation would consume about 2% of our annual domestic air lift capacity and could be done for about $137 per head per average trip to Mexico City. It's peanuts. I concur.

>> Bless you. Politics is the art of the possible, and what really needs doing besides a border fence, is not possible.
Please do not put words in my mouth, FRiend.
I didn’t say the things I suggested weren’t possible; I said we don’t have the WILL to do them.
There’s a big difference.

Hey Chavez or any pro-illegal immigration government stooge that is lurking, I am just going by on what the Feds. promised in 1965.
As a reminder of what was said in 1965 ""Out of deference to the critics, I want to comment on
what the bill will not do. First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same
Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset
Contrary to the charges in some quarters, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia. In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.
Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness. As I noted a moment ago, no immigrant visa will be issued to a person who is likely to become a public charge
the charges I have mentioned are highly emotional, irrational, and with little foundation in fact. They are out of line with the obligations of responsible citizenship. They breed hate of our heritage."Edward Kennedy, Senator for life because of an ignorant electorate.
If the government is to be believed there are too many Hispanics and Mexicans that immigrated illegally here. In other words, your attempt to paint anti-illegal immigration Americans as racist is crass to say the least. Don't blame the "xenophobes" blame the 1965 Immigration Act proponents.

Liberals always ignore the great big elephant sitting on the sofa. To assume equivalence for the current Mexicans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans and others versus what was once the Germans, Swedes, the Irish, Italians, Poles, Jews, is to ignore the critical question of legality. These new immigrants aren't opposed on racial or ethnic grounds, but because they broke our laws by coming here. Also, the numbers from Mexico in particular resemble an invasion more than a wave.
They're ILLEGAL and have shown their unworthiness as potential citizens by the violation of our laws. What's more many are socialists that expect to be taken care of at our hospitals, schools, and soon will want retirement services. I swore I'd never consider moving to a socialist country. Dang sure I don't want one moving here.

Two more differences between earlier generations of immigrants and modern Hispanic immigrants are that the latter are coming mostly from a country that
a) is contiguous with the U.S.
and
b) has a historical claim to our territory
To: Sleeping Beauty
I helped with a yard sale yesterday and I was amazed by the differences in the Hispanics that stopped to take a look around and the eastern Europeans. One group spoke good English, were respectful and were obviously trying to assimilate into American society.
Guess who?

Linda Chavez is one of the White Houses designated marginalizers.Correct. Chavez is neither ignorant nor stupid. This article is deliberate, calculated demagoguery.
To: D-Chivas
You’re exactly right!
My grandfather (Ma’s Pa)came to the US from County Cork, Ireland in 1905. He had to (1) have a sponsor, (2) have a job lined-up, and (3) give up his Irish-Gaelic language!
SEND ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS BACK FROM WHERE THEY CAME. ALL: IRISH, MEXICANS, COLUMBIANS, ENGLISH, CANADIANS...ALL!
I’m tired of being generous with MY TAX DOLLARS SUPPORTING ILLEGALS.... IT’S NOTHING BUT “ECONOMIC TERRORISM” IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

To: fr_freak
I wonder how she explains all the Americans of Mexican descent who are against illegal immigration?She was too busy playing the race card that she probably forgot about that small detail.
She placed herself down to Paul Krugman's level with this column, and I'm tired of being called a xenophobe when my concern - along, I'm sure with most everyone else, is national security.
I live in the southern tip of a border state, and I guarantee you if I had a problem with the Hispanic community, I'd realize that I was definitely in the wrong area for an attitude like that.
