(snicker) Well, I know where he was. My "representative" in Congress is Bobby Rush, a former Black Panther.
>Hmmmmm. Why not? There are other answers beyond this one, but perhaps this one, uncomfortable though it is, may be the best answer.
Because doing so would also force out perhaps hundreds of thousands of American citizens. Many of the illegals are here with families of one sort of another. They have had children. A child born on US soil is a US citizen. If you boot the mother, you condemn a US citizen to life in 3rd world Mexico with 3rd world Mexican medicine and care.
If you just boot the father, who supports the family?
Yeah, it's a problem. Bush's proposal probably isn't perfect, but it is not clear why the bomb throwers don't want to adjust it rather than elect a Democrat.
