She was all over the ILLEGAL immigration issue and amnesty...If the amnesty bill had passed, it would have been game, set, and match for this country as we know it, mainly due to chain migration.

So why aren't you showing gratitude for her work in stopping amnesty instead of dumping on her for being in favor of LEGAL immigration?

Virtually nobody is in favor of halting immigration totally. That's why most Democrats and GOP compromisers like Graham, McCain, Rove and President Bush pretended people like Laura didn't distinguish between legal and illegal immigration! If it were only up to you people against ANY immigration to fight amnesty, you'd be up you-know-what creek!

Stop whining.

Gratitude? Maybe she should be thanking me since I have been fighting this battle for years. You miss the point. Laura doesn't fully understand the immigration problem. Illegal immigration is only part of it and not the most important part. We could stop illegal immigration tomorrow and still have the country go down the tubes because of our legal immigration policy.

You are not very well informed. I have never said that I am against immigration. My wife is an immigrant and so was my grandmother. I want the legal immigration polices changed so that we have a merit based system that serves the needs of this country. I want the number of legal immigrants to be reduced from 1.2 million annually to 300,000 a year per the Jordan Commission recommendations. I want to end extended chain migration and confine it to the nuclear family. I want to end birthright citizenship, i.e., anchor babies. I want to eliminate the visa lottery program that brings in 50,000 people a year.

Stop whining.

LOL. The problem is people like you [and Laura] who are uniformed about immigration and the long term impact it is having on this country. I suggest you become better informed. One question: What should we do with the 12 to 20 million illegals in this country?

If immigration continues at current levels, the nation’s population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060 — a 167 million (56 percent) increase. Immigrants plus their descendents will account for 105 million (63 percent) of the increase. The total projected growth of 167 million is equal to the combined populations of Great Britain, France, and Spain. The 105 million from immigration by itself is equal to 13 additional New York Cities.
