[Travis McGee]

U.S. Constitution Article 1 Section 8 Clause 15:

"The Congress shall have Power to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections

and repel Invasions;"

---

U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

That's all well and good travis but according to a Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll a majority of people don't see, as you do, people washing dishes and making beds an "invasion".

Opinion is divided on eliminating public assistance, such as education and health benefits, to illegal immigrants and their children. Forty-three percent of Americans favor stopping public assistance for illegal immigrants, while 45 percent oppose it.

Even so, a 62 percent majority, including almost equal majorities of Democrats (65 percent) and Republicans (62 percent), favors allowing illegal immigrants who have jobs in the United States to apply for legal, temporary worker status.

Maybe let up on the bellicose swagger and accusing those who don't agree with you as "un-American" and maybe you can influence more people and win more friends.

BTW, you can put me in the 43% that says that non-citizens shouldn't get welfare benefits.
