I am truly disheartened that our elected officials are pandering to the illegal Mexicans. I just don't understand it.

The only thing that I can think of is the "one global world" that I heard Bush Sr. talk about when he was President.

Oh Puh-leeeeeeze!!

Don't fall for the dem strategy of divide and conquer.

The President's plan is better than what the 911 commission wrote. That's why the President wants the 911 articles taken out.

I believe the president's proposed policies to enable legal work status on condition of payroll job status relates to our needs for a growing work force and a growing population. By 2050, world population is predicted to grow from 6 billion now to 12 billion then, almost all of the increase being in Asia, Africa and below the equator. The USA domestic population has a birthrate that will maintain our population, but will not increase it. We need immigration from elsewhere, hopefully from friendly cultures that identify with our morality and values, in order to maintain a defense for our own culture and society. Also, we need additional workers to support our economy and to pay retirement benefits for our aging work force - at least unless and until we change our tax system to pay for SS and Medicare on some basis other than employment taxes (the president may get that done in the next two years!).
