THOSE were the very words I told the offices of Reid, Hutchison, Cornyn, and Frist this morning--with one amendment: I called for a five-year moratorium (or whatever the time period proves to be) on ALL immigration until the backlog of processing current applications has ended.

Reid's staff member gave a defeated "thank-you" reply--unlike last week's shouted reply of "It's NOT amnesty!"

Postscript: Aren't you tired of hearing that we need to give the illegal aliens an opportunity to apply for citizenship? Gosh. I thought they had that right while they were living in their homelands!

"Aren't you tired of hearing that we need to give the illegal aliens an opportunity to apply for citizenship?"

I'm almost as tired of hearing that as I am of hearing that we're "anti-immigration." Notice how they always leave the "illegal" part out, as though all those people got here legally and just want to stay? Maybe I should stay away from the telly awhile until my blood pressure goes down!

I do believe there would need to be a few exceptions to that. Children adopted by current citizens or legal residents, and newly married spouses of legal residents and citizens.

Heck your moratorium might unjam the paperwork on those very legitimate cases.
