Furthermore, y'all should lay off Jeb Bush. He's a good and decent man and has contributed more to the state of Florida than any governor in history.
I didn't see that he was advocating illegality, but rather protesting using the issue as a political football -- which everyone is.
How dare you barge in here and ruin their little circle j*rk! ;^)
With this thread, had to check what site I was on...thought it was DU.
Anyone who blurrs the line between legal immigrants and illegal aliens is using the issue for something....
susie
Unfortunately Jeb and GW are completely wrong on this issue. They themselves are using it as a "political football". They are attempting to equate legal immigrant with ILLEGAL immigrant! The complete disregard for US LAWS is the issue here. Why would we want to reward people who have so little respect for this country they break our laws to be here? While here many continue to break laws - including creation of phony documents, applying for assistance programs meant for legal residents... not to mention the out and out gangster element.
Sorry, but as much as I respect (and wholeheartedly support) the Bush's on other issues, they have their heads up their nether regions on this one.
