Agreed.
I have no problem with the CLEAR Act's basic concept, really - any time an illegal immigrant is arrested, they ought to inform the federal government. Ditto for the welfare fraud cases.
But honor students, maids, nannies, janitors, and even folks serving in the armed forces (one of the first Marines KIA in the liberation of Iraq was an illegal immigrant) - hey, I'll take those folks over a Michael Moore, a Barbara Streisand, or a Natalie Maines any time.
I wasn't aware of the option of letting you decide whether some illegal aliens are more acceptable than some Americans. Has this legislation been introduced?
