With all do respect, There is no Statue of Liberty in Texas, Arizona or California... The huddled masses did not cross the Atlantic, they merely crossed the Rio Grande. They don't see 'Liberty' when they arrive, they see entitlement.

EXACTLY!!!!

That cute llittle inscription says "Bring me"...it does not say to smuggle them in and not let me know!

The intent of that cutesy prose was exactly that...legally make immigrants new citizens, and there is nothing at all wrong with that.

What's WRONG is allowing an illegal legal status without already established process!

I-L-L-E-G-A-L !!!!!!!!!!!! Easy enough to comprehend, Si???

Free medical, free licensing, welfare, education, etc., etc. HHHmmmmm??? For violating the law?

The average AMERICAN (yeah...legal dudes..us!) toils all the way through late July or early August before any wages actually hit the account or pocket..the first seven months of work are simply to paytaxes...think about it:

- Fed INcome tax
- state income tax
- property tax
- sales tax
- gasoline tax
- county tax
- city taxes
- franchise tax
- communications tax
- toll taxes
- mill levy taxes, etc., etc.

Yeah...I wanna legalize an illegal and pay MORE taxes to support him/her!

Hey...smoke a doobie and get caught...illegal? Yup! amnesty? NOPE!

Sameo - sameo...either we have a law or we don;t...turning a government head and giving nod to illegal acts is outrageous and will cost the tax payer!

Really, I personally know dozens of former illegal aliens operating well within our laws. I vouched for them in the mid 80's when President Reagan enacted a similar law.. However that number dropped by at least 1, when he crashed on a training mission in Saudi Arabia about 10 years ago.. I guess he was entitled to life a better life, but chose not to.
