The dems want to give them the right to stay, and the pubbies have decided that the illegal vote is what they need to stay in power.

While the White House keeps us preoccupied with the threat of Saddam, closing the borders and sending home illegals is not even an issue. I'm really uncomfortable about this issue not being part of the dialogue for the upcoming elections.

The priorities for Homeland Security are out of order. First, our government needs to stop the influx of people and acclimate and prepare for productive contributions those who can't legally be sent home. What good is it to overthrow any dictator if all the loons in the world can just walk across the border? This country has enough homegrown lunatics to worry about.

Those "necessary" temporary workers? Let employers try a little harder to find US citizens to do the work. Of course, it might mean more money going to workers and less going to CEOs...that works.

Worth repeating, loudly.

Once they're legal they'd be in the same spot US citizens are ---they'd qualify for many welfare programs and their employers would be required to pay them minimum wage but would instead replace them with new illegals.

Please refrain from posting again....you are making ENTIRELY too much sense.....in all seriousness, I agree 100%.

p.s. I'll let you in on a little secret. As long as there are 15,000 illegal trespassers crossing our borders a day, there really is no "homeland security."
