| Loren, you really need to learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Here, let's re-live this blast-from-your-past for size (circa-2006):
For many of us, our ancestors came to this country during times when virtually anyone was free to do so, at the time of their choosing. It is only in the last eighty years that we began throwing up roadblocks, and only in the last forty that we put a lid on Mexican immigration.
We should reconsider a return to those earlier days, when America was a land of opportunity with an open door for anyone who wished to pass through. Many people desire to come here to share and experience what we already have. As in the days of Ellis Island, if they can be vetted and found clean and trustworthy, then they're welcome to come. Through the use of computerized records, and the opportunity to apply at consular offices, it could be a smoother process than it ever was before.
It may seem strange to liberalize legal immigration as a means of fighting illegal immigration, but it works to everyone’s benefit. Not the least of which is that under a more lenient system, there is all the more reason to suspect and target those persons who choose to enter illegally. LOL. After looking at your weak grasp of the history of immigration in this country, I can see why you're so confused on the subject of Obama’s Eligibility and "Natural Born Citizen". I also see how little you've changed in three years. But in time, I'll point you to some studies done by the Bush Administration and more recently by Gallup as to why opening up the borders is a BAD IDEA. It obviously would cause A LOT more problems than is seen by the average and experimenting Progressive, Libertarian, Bull Moose — or whatever you're calling yourself these days. No worries, I won't hold your youth and inexperience against you. Hopefully Bryant doesn't either. If I'm ever in Atlanta, and need to file a personal injury or workman's comp suit, I'll give him a holler. In the meantime, you may want to spend less time blogging on the clock, and instead either help your clients or spend your free time perusing HRS §338, §538 and Hawaii Family Court Rules. You still have much to learn, young grasshopper. I suggest you read ALL of it, as well as the AG findings, and not just the portions that suit your sophistry. In closing, I know you may long for the good ol' days, but hitching your wagon to weak-d!ck Obama is NOT gonna get you there! As you'll soon find out in the week & months ahead, YOU'LL be throwing him under the bus quicker than he did Van Jones. You and the rest of your ilk really need to pick your political allies a little more prudently — Obama's causing more long-term political damage than short-term political gain to "the cause".
