Uh, fella's, the "best people" came here on their own boats prior to 1754 FUR SHUR.
I've enjoyed your posts. I envy your knowledge of history and your eloquent mastery of the English language. I am the product of public schools. My grammar is atrocious and my vocabulary is riddled with misinterpretations. I have a tendency to incorporate slang and write in a spoken style. I recognize sarcasm. Unfortunately I can't tell where it is directed.
My post to Forgiven_Sinner was to commend him for looking at the problems of legal immigration. A 5 year wait leaves poor Mexicans little choice but illegal entry. I favor a massive amnesty of illegal immigrants who have committed the crime of crossing the border and finding a job to support the family. This does not include drug runners and gang members. I don't expect Dubya's guest worker program to pass without some punishment of the janitors and burger flippers of America, but I pray.
Thank you for adding some fascinating reading to another "Freedom is too precious to share with inferiors," thread.
