I'm sorry to buttress your rhetoric, but there was no rhyme or reason to immigration before 1920.

That may have been. Right now, I am referring to our LAWS. Laws can change. If our President doesn't like the laws that prohibit people from sneaking into the country, then he should be fair and announce he is going to push for the laws' removal.

That's why I chuckle at those on FR who wish for a neo-porgrom of new immigrants, when the vast majority of these peoples ancestors, also faced the animus that these people on FR spew now.

We may be the descendants of both slaves and slave owners here now, too, but we do have the right to speak up on current policy affecting America.

The President *is* proposing changes to the laws. Yet his proposed changes to the laws are drawing an outraged fury from the same folks who say the status quo is unacceptable.

Uh he has, and proposed a system to bring some sanity to the system that was dismantled by LBJ 40 years ago.

And where have I spoken out against that?

All I'm saying is that the vast majority of us on FR are descendants of immigrants running away from tyranny, and I'm speaking out against those who wish to be tyrannical against those who wish to run from tyranny now.

JMO, it seems that President Bush has gained the trust of these hard working, God Fearing people, and thus hillary's pandering to the, IMO, neo-American Nationalist Socialist faction in American politics.
