Hey, I have nothing against immigration, as long as it is LEGAL immigration. I want the US Gov. to do background checks and KNOW who this person is that is entereing the country. I want that person to be as trackable and taxable as I am. To make LEGAL immigrants jump through so many hoops but to turn a blind eye to the illegals in our midst is an insult to those who try to dot the I's and cross the T's (or is that dot the T's and cross the I's, I always get that confused...) Waving the magic amnesty wand is just as insulting however. They get citizenship as a reward for breaking the law while legal immigrants still have to jump through hoops. That is patently unfair. Especially since the process takes so long largely because the INS takes it's sweet time about processing the paperwork, throw about 30 million illegals filing for amnesty at once into the system and you can imagine what would happen to the backlog! The legal immigrants would get shafted yet again!<BR/><BR/>I don't buy the "help our economy" argument. It can be demonstrated that they are a net drain on the economy.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.com
