Cornyn: Amnesty for illegal immigrants wouldn't pass in Congress

Star-Telegram ^

It doesn't have to pass Congress. Three more years of George Bush and the Republicans sitting on their hands and so many illegals will be here they won't need citizenship. The American citizens on the other hand will need it after the Mexicans get through with us. They will own the country.

Instead, a guest worker program to allow millions of migrants from Mexico and Latin America to enter the country and work legally is a better solution, said Cornyn...

Economically and sociologically there is no difference between the impact of millions of illegals or millions of "guest workers." Both drag down wages and dilute our commitment to the idea of an American culture that is something other than a job shop.

I thought it was understood that Newt is interested in running, or maybe I'm thinking of the Hillary-Newt linkup??

Ha, funny....I was participating on another thread, elsewhere, about computing and antiviral programs, particularly, and wrote "symantec games."

D'oh. I was referring to "symantics" and yes, word games.

Was also quite sleepy when I wrote that, sorry.

Thanks for those links...I was not aware of what's contained there. I was not aware that the Catholic Church was promoting/encouraging "immigration reform," which is, sadly, yet more of those word games' distortions for "give amnesty for illegal immigrants".

I would prefer to see the Catholic Church begin to encourage legal behaviors and better governments in countries from whence most illegal immigration originates.

And have some understanding of the toll that illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants inflicts upon the U.S.

I'm a Catholic but I do not agree with this evasive rewrite of these issues by spokespersons...people engage in illegal immigration need to be held accountable for their illegal behaviors, as do those who assist and encourage them. Amnesty and various other names for amnesty ("guest worker programs" and such) are part of the problem, not advisable solutions to much of anything, in my view.

Ethically, morally, spiritually, these spokespersons seem far more subservient to the compromises of those important things that is present in illegal immigration, rather than cognizant of instructions out of the misery involved.

Oh, ha, still groggy, apparently: SEMANTICS.

[Recall]

The United States is NOT a catholic nation and we should not take orders from the Catholic Church.

There idea for these people to gain residency as a reward for working here is nuts. Working here (if allowed) is more than reward enough.

Why can't the Church worry about their souls and get out of Politics.

Maybe in your world, Cornyn, where you don't have to live with the consequences of all this and instead just rake in campaign contributions from those who would benefit from such a program.
