But xenophobia has no place in a civilized society.

What garbage. Do you think a civilized society should have no rules over its own border. What is your fascination with illegals? Why are you so enomoured with them? Study after study shows that they are not beneficial to our society but yet you advocate allowing them free and unchecked access to our monies. Why?

I disagree with President Bush on some issues as well, such as drug laws and steel tariffs.

What about drug laws? Do you want them abolished so Americans can go about stoned all day? How does that nurture the society you claim to be concerned about? If you are for stronger drug laws then how is it that you are against enforcing immigration law? There would be no logic in that? Clear this up for us, would you?

First of all, I never said that illegals should have free access to our monies.

In fact I am for abolishing welfare entirely, regardless of whether is it for illegals or American citizens(even though illegals aren't currently eligible for TANF). Abolishing welfare would remove the incentive for people to come to America who are just looking for a handout.

The fact remains that most immigrants come here looking for jobs and opportunity, not a handout.

You don't have a right to a job. If an employer can find someone to do the job cheaper and better than you can then tough sh*t.


And your drug statement just sounds like a typical statist drug warrior rant.

I don't want them abolished so Americans can get stoned all day. Very few Americans use marijuana regularly, and those that do are not stopping due to the illegal status of the drug. Legalizing marijuana and other drugs would need mean a nation full of drug addicts. Part of the allure of drugs to teenagers is their illegality. I'm for locking people up who are a threat to society, and cannabis smokers certainly are not. That is, unless you area busybody more concerned about what your neighbor does, while your home life rapidly deterioriates.
