Do you have any idea how the 9-11 terrorists arrived in this country?
Do you have any idea how stupid it would be to train someone to come to this country to blow us to smithers with a backpack nuke...and take the chance that our valiant MMP would ...observe and report...her.
Get a grip.
I said no such thing. I think the link you posted is a poor example showing people on FR that are anti-legal immigration and I admit I chose my words poorly in my original response.
The topic of the thread you posted was worker visas. Citizens and legal immigrants whose jobs would be at risk because of an increased supply of legal immigrants have a legitimate complaint.
Speaking out against a political method to increase the supply of legal workers has nothing to do with a persons beliefs towards legal immigrants...but rather their belief that increasing the legal worker base will decrease their pay...it's economics.
Typical liberal response. You're worthless to debate with.
On one hand you have those workers who benefit from a labor shortage/rising wages.
On the other hand you have those who are concerned with rising wages, productivty, and inflation.
In a country with low birth rates, importing labor is a neccessity. That is the reason we have temporary work visas, permanent visas, and large number of foreigners going thru the naturalization process.
We have had the H2A and H2B visas since the 1950s and they worked well in the beginning. Had these visas been allowed to change with our needs for imported labor, there would be no illegals.
And you're just worthless.
I'll take him over a ACLU democrat any day.
Just take him,
.... please
I can see your point.
I don't think illegal immigration would be stopped that easily though. One concern with the open border is the drug trafficking and the violence that comes with it and the fact that United States laws are being violated. We have enough of our own criminals without having to leave the door open for more.
More insightful wisdom from the Liberal/Democrat/ACLU branch of Free Republic.
In terms of pre-9-11, those killers arrived in the U.S. with passports in hand, things are a little tighter now, not much though.

Thank you for your kind words.
I assumed he was joking.
Another liberal Catholic bishop heard from. If he cares so much for the poor and downtrodden in Guatemala, why doesn't he help fix the problems in Guatemala, instead of expecting us to put up with law breakers.
I remember when Roger Cardinal Mahoney publicly stated his intentions to break the law, regarding illegals in his diocese. Some of my non Catholic friends questioned why the Catholic church felt it had the right to go against the laws of the US. I was pretty embarassed. Of course Mahoney is an embarassment on so many levels :(
