There are miles and miles of FR threads about "immigration reform" -- from the early 2000s. Some heated exchanges included name calling, "Bigot!" "Nativist!" "Xenophobe!" Some FReepers quit and some were banned.

One thing is always the same.. critics of the people opposed to ILLEGAL immigrants will be denounced as apposed to all LEGAL immigrants and our Nation of Immigrants.

Simple fact is.. the last major "reform" was in 1986 and once amnesty was granted to several times more than expected -- the law was ignored as millions poured across the border with the full knowledge and approval of government and business. The law included provisions to prevent this but they were deliberately ignored -- so alluring was the cheap, taxpayer-subsidized labor.

If nothing else convinces Americans to oppose amnesty this should convince them.

If nothing else the sight of these guffawing goofballs would make me oppose "comprehensive reform."

They had just -- through "hard work and dedication" -- worked out the details of comprehensive reform in 2007. Then the whole thing blew up in their fat faces.

Sorry, I have to correct a statement from my reply above..

I should have said

One thing is always the same.. being opposed to ILLEGAL immigration will be denounced as opposing all immigration and disrespecting our "Nation of Immigrants."
