"
Legal or illegal, people will come to America because they have a dream of being free."Yeah, but free to do what? Unlimited access to America so they can perform another 9/11?
You portray the liberal view that ALL immigrants are desireable and noble, honest citizens-to-be. If people want to come to America to be Americans, fine and well, but to allow them to bring the baggage of their phony religions and customs that impoverished them in their native countries with them and hole up in ethnic ghettos when they get here is hardly the assimilation that is desired.
From what you espouse, the old mantra should be "Divided we stand, united we fall."
'Course, liberals seem to relish the prospect of destroying what made America great.
Nope, what I portray is that we have always had illegals. What I desire is a solution that doesn't break the bank by throwing them into jail, deporting them so they can come back, or just simply shooting them. All of those choices are not acceptable and I don't think you want to pay for them either by raising the tax base, so the only other solution is making them a part of the solution. You don't have to just give the farm away at first. Make them pay for the franchise that they desire. The sky is the limit and the SS system needs more participants or the baby boomers will march on Washinton because they aren't getting their checks in 7 to 8 years. As far as the illegals who are criminals, well we have a judicial system that will take care of them, and those are the ones who we deport or lock up and make them work under the federal prision system (God forbid). So, what is your idea for a solution?
