This amnesty bill should be opposed by anyone who’s ancestors came here legally.

commit crimes, flee our justice system and leave maimed and dead Americans in their wake.

Are you saying that a significant percentage of illegals commit crimes when they get here? I'm asking because I oppose amnesty, but I've never understood that argument. In my experiece illegals go out of their way to avoid the notice of law enforcement. As an example, they have a maddening tendency to always drive 5mph below the speed limit.

Should Scooter Libby get amnesty?

Sounds great. Send it as a “letter to the editor” to all of your local publications and to all your congressmen . Veterans input is essential.

“...how do the politicians honor their sacrifice? They allow special interest activists to write a bill that simply gives citizenship away like sugar candy.” You are absolutely right. What happens when you reward people who have broken the law? You get more lawbreakers.

How can a Lance Corporal from Brownsville Texas be sent to South Korea tasked with the mission of serving along the DMZ between the Korea and if he/she were to raise the alarm upon hostile forces crossing into the DMZ they would be hailed as a hero. Yet if the Lance Corporal goes home on leave and raises the alarm about illegal aliens crossing the United States/Mexico boarder, he/she would be labeled a trouble maker or racist for simply fulfilling their Constitutional Oath.

Let's not fall into the trap of making false analogies. There are enough reasons to oppose this bill without having to make up others.

As a DMZ vet myself, it’s certainly feeling like it was all a grand waste of time now.

You devote a good portion of your prime years to protect your country and its way of life, enduring hardship and danger with really little thanks, save for a memorial day parade here and a yellow ribbon there.

Then, after all that, our civilian leadership, in its infinitesimal wisdom, sees fit to cast that very country and its way of life into the dustbin of history simply for the sake of creating a few million citizens that can be added as willing grist to their party’s vote mill.

What was it all for? What were we defending?

I would extend your call not just to veterans, but to those currently in uniform. As George Washington said, “When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen.”

God you are so right. I love to see foreign nationals join our military and do a GREAT job. When they become American citizens, they are so thankful and honored...oh and HUMBLED!!! I really think that giving of yourself to become an American is so appreciated instead of just handing it to the illegals who DON’T APPRECIATE IT AT ALL!!!!!!

Amnesty must be opposed by those who have worn the uniform

OK ... I have worn the uniform and I adamantly oppose amnesty. So now can we throw the illegal invaders out ...

Points well made, but I’d change ‘boarders’ to ‘borders.’

I am a descendent of a Polish immigrant in the late 1800s. He served in the United States Navy, my father served in the United States Army and I served for twenty-five years in the United States Air Force. Nor only do I oppose amnesty as a military veteran but I oppose it as a descendent of someone who did immigrate legally—before Social Security and other freebies our Congress has decided to give illegals. I think it is time to clean house in our Congress and reelect a new crew who are willing to follow, fund and enforce our immigration laws.
