This is where we go overboard and hurt our own cause. The goal is not to stop all immigration, which would result in too few young people paying taxes for too many retirees, as is about to happen in Japan and much of Europe. Instead we want to send home illegals while making sure the existing legal immigration quotas are filled by people who have a history of hard work and clean criminal records in their home countries. And no second class citizens AKA guest workers! But saying "stop immigration now," even just in a web site name, makes us seem like unreasonable hotheads and is going to backfire.
Steve, nobody is suggesting stopping all immigration... If you look at the petition, you will find that there are options you can select.. My concern is not with all immigration, it is with 'illegal' immigration and what Bush is proposing to do with them.
Bush should be concerend about the 5-6 million Americans who are out of work instead of worrying about illegals.
