they should all be allowed to come?

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.

How many millions of illegal immigrants do you need before it becomes a big enough issue for you?
