Lou Dobbs illegals poll.

I wonder how that compares with the internal polling Bush uses in place of principles.

[nmh]

NO! They need to follow the SAME rules as other illegal aliens to get the privilege of working here.

NO. Illegal is illegal.

I don't know how much more simply we can state that.

Freeped. Once they get here they are here for good.

I could only support such a visa if it were available only to persons who applied while not yet (illegally) IN the USA. In other words, it couldn't be given to someone who'd entered illegally and THEN applied (at least, not until they got the heck out, and then applied from their native country for legal permission to re-enter).

We gotta do something!

It's crazy to think we can just fence them out. Our economy needs their labor like we need oil from the ME. The situation as it now stands is ridiculous and immoral from every aspect.

Those who just hate illegals are irrational. We cannot function without them. If you think otherwise you are just completely uninformed. Go to the factories and jobsites and take a good long look. Step back in the kitchen of nearly every restaurant. Look at your gardener.

I support prison for illegal mexicans. The only reason they come here is for the money. A couple years of free labor on a chain gang will act as a sufficient economic deterrent. Followed by deportation to the far southern provinces of mexico.

[Jeff Head]

I voted ... NO!

No's leading now with 70% 1556 votes to 682 (30%)

[JustPiper]

there's that 70% of us again. In general 70% of Americans are against illegal immigration...even at CNN , the dims are so misinformed for even this poll shows a 2-1 against

[mercy]

Everybody is against them but everybody enjoys their labor.

I wonder what this looks like from God's perspective? OK ... so from an extra-terrestrial neutral perspective?

I just don't think people are rational on this issue.

Ping and Merry Christmas !

A good friend and his wife are from Wales and moved here 18 months ago. In the process of getting permanent residency and then citizenship, he has done everything by the book, and you would not believe what they have been through.

These are people with valuable skills - he is a graphic artist and computer technician; she is an RN. I have been doing a slow burn for months now, while the Democratic Multicultural Peoples Republic of Maryland has done everything to avoid recognizing her RN certificate from the UK.

With the country in dire need of RN's, she is being ignored. I checked into it, and lo and behold, the head of the office in Maryland responsible for this is a hard-core leftist, appointed by ex-governor Glendening, arguably the worst governor in the history of the state.

Meanwhile, women from the third world who went through UK nursing schools after her, then transferred here, have had no trouble.

So don't get me started on the subject of amnesty for illegals.

[Jeff Head]

"Everybody is against them but everybody enjoys their labor."

Gross generalizations there. Many of us do not enjoy their illegal labor and wish that we would inforce sane immigration policy as well as inacting sane economic policy.

Being against illegal immigration and attempts to reward/normalize it does not equate with being against immigration or any particular ethnic or cultural group.

We need people to come here and be a part of America...and be willing to work, assimilate into the American culture, understand and defend freedom, etc., etc. But it has to happen legally and in a fashion that compliments those very things.

We do not accomplish that with violating the law and then calling it good.
