Well, you can state that between two and three million people crossing our borders each year, twenty to thirty million strong in ten years, isn't an invasion if you like. As I said before, you're posts are quite informational. They reveal a dirth in comprehension skills on your part.

I mentioned that Time magazine reported three million illegals were crossing the border each year. I'm not entirely comfortable with that figure myself, but it's certain at least two million are crossing the border. As for you not knowing where I got those figures, I mentioned where I got them earlier, so it's a little difficult to take that at face value. As I said before, comprehension skills isn't your strong suit.

As for how illegal immigrants impact me personally, I'll answer you like this. I have not been a victim of murder, robbery, theft, GTA or a myriad of other crimes. That doesn't mean that I will give those perpetrating these crimes a pass until I am. The laws of our nation either deserve to be honored or they don't. If one law is not worthy of enforcement, then no laws are worthy of enforcement.

Either our nation is a nation of laws or it isn't. You keep advocating for it not being a nation of laws. I think that is a jack-ass arguement, but you're welcome to it if you like.

No I don't. I supporet President Bush's immigration reform proposals.

No one is advocating anarchy. But every government (and person) has to prioritize the allocation of resources.

When it comes to fighting terrorism the anti-immigrants want every penny devoted to sealing the border, and if Bush doesn't agree they call him a traitor.

The fact is that President Bush has done a great job of allocating resources against terrorism by any standard you want to measure it by.

But the anti-immigrants aren't concerned about terrorism, just Mexicans.
