Get with the program we need a 19th century immigration policy so we can remain a 21st century superpower or something like that.

Gee another Northeastern liberal isolated from the havoc wreak by a full fledged migration of the third world.

"Bravo President Bush". Thank you for further ruining our schools, hospitals and pushing your election off on the taxpayers. Bravo for the increase in violent crime in my area and the inablility of our children to find entry level work. Thank you for making our laws a joke and rewarding foreigners for breaking them.

Thank you for your blue-blooded "I don't give a s**t" attitude. Bravo to your contempt for our constitution and spitting in the face of many of the people who went to bat for you. Thank you for putting your own Rockafeller ass before your coutry and it's constitution. You have proven there is no party that respects the law and not a "party of men" anymore.

At least it's cheap to eat at Taco Bell and agricorps don't have to hire Americans anymore.

BRAVO

The miniscule costs of basic health and food benefits for immigrants legal and otherwise are far outstripped by the breaks that the middle and upper economic classes receive in the form of tax loopholes and benefits.

So now they can become taxed employees and become yet poorer, but at least you made it easier for them to get on the entitlement bandwagon.

LOL, absolutely. Why depend on technical innovation when you can hire tax free illegals.

Bye the way, you get good service by tipping, try it some time.

Actually, by the way, a TIP is Earned by providing good service....Or do you tip up front, when they bring the menu?

First of all, the burden of illegals on our social systems is hardly MINISCULE.

As for loopholes and creative accounting 'techniques' - I'm all for a flat tax that does away with all those evasions.

Angry agressive words from somone who would rather not think and would prefer to rant and blame the problems on those who are desperately trying to fix them.

There's another little angry guy out there who sounds just like you and he's from Vermont.

I agree wholeheartedly with a flat tax. It would eliminate all the dealmaking and corruption that goes on in politics.

There is no job Americans won't do.

Thank you.

And I'm getting pretty sick of bigoted assertions otherwise.

And what is so terrible about the word compassionate? If there is one thing that makes leftists cringe is that word. It is a word that fits in perfectly with the Judaeo Christian traditions of this nation.

Those of us who want the US immigration laws enforced, must hammer home the fact that allowing illegals to work and live in this country does nothing but depress the wages of LEGAL immigrants (and working poor) trying to raise themselves to their potential.

To the contrary there are plenty of jobs that Americans won't do and won't do well.

A little competition in the marketplace will help improve services and living conditions for all.
