You agree that if 20 million Chinese, Indians, Bolivians, Ghanans etc want to come to America after being offered jobs at $5.15 per hour, they should all be allowed to come? I mean, if American welders, carpenters and machinists won't take those jobs at minimum wage, why not let the most desperate folks on the planet in to fill them?

That's the Bush plan. It's national suicide.

I have no idea. I don't like the vitriolic posturing of the anti immigrant crowd. If you read Capitalist eric's posts, you can understand what I mean. This stuff about rape being as bad as INS violations is ridiculous.

I would like to see the welfare state cut back, a sales tax replacing the income tax, tort reform, school vouchers, conservative judges, honesty in govt.

10 million illegal immigrants are not a big issue to me. Most of these are concentrated in a few areas, probably your area which is why it is a big issue to you. 10 million illegals in a population of 300 million is not a big deal. But if the 10 million are all more or less in one place, it is a big deal for that place.

I would like to change the constitution to eliminate the anchor babies. I would like the border controlled better. I like the guest worker idea. I would eliminate most welfare for guest workers and citizens alike.

I think most americans can trace their roots back to immigration of less than 4-5 generations or less which is not a lot.

Selling alchohol in this country used to be not a crime, then it was a crime, then it was not a crime. Now it is a crime in certain counties, and in certain states, it is a crime on sunday but not m-s, and is a crime if a bar sells it after a certain time. Immigration from mexico used to be not a crime, but now it is for some and not for others who get the proper papers, and if the guest worker proposals become law, it will not be a crime for 3 years.
