The May 24 headline announced "Marchers want legality for undocumented teens."

A few dozen local college kids were out to express their outrage that another amnesty for illegal aliens (the last one was in 1986) -- a "DREAM Act" that would have allowed

The marchers say they want these anchor babies to be given a "path to legal status." They've already got one: Go back to your U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico or Guatemala or El Salvador and fill out your immigration forms and wait your turn.

What those who prefer the simpering euphemism "undocumented" really want is not "reform" but amnesty -- for the laws violated by these invaders to be treated as though they never existed.

The question they don't want to answer is how they would compensate all the doctors and artisans and chemical engineers -- many of them literate and fluent in English -- who have been patiently waiting their turn in the U.S. immigration line in Bosnia and Belarus and Burundi, in India and Iran and Thailand and Tasmania. Their places in line -- usurped without compensation -- surely have cash value. Why should we be complicit in the theft of their dreams

Exactly. I have a cousin that’s in the Caribbean that wants to come to America, get a good education and probably start contributing to our economy. She has to jump through so many hoops to come to this great land that she probably will never come here.

However, some illiterate peasants can walk across Arizona or swim across the Rio Grande (Or in some cases, walk across the frozen Lake Saint Claire) and making it harder for legal immigrants. It’s time we crush illegal immigrants.
