Your position (IMHO) is national suicide. The world is going to engulf and destroy a "walled off" USofA. Already manufacturing is leaving, agriculture is next. American Capitalism is going "overseas". Americans can be a part of this movement if they join in and not build a wall of separation.

Please clarify your position. Are you saying the USA is doomed unless we allow the inflow of people in limitless numbers, regardless of skills, literacy, education, poverty, criminality, or health? With illegal immigration, that's what we have at the moment. Would you just like to make it official policy?

How long will the Republican Party survive if we allow tens of millions of underclass immigrants to come to the US legally over the next decade or two? I don't think Kennedy has proposed this bill because he expects these newcomers to vote Republican. Do either of you - JJ or B#1 - expect these folks to be anything other than reliable Democratic voters? If you don't, you're smoking something. Bottom line: Underclass immigration on the scale that the Senate Bill would permit, would mean an end to the GOP, an end to American traditions of limited government, and a new era of Mexican-style socialist corruption in vast parts of the US.
