You want to come to the U.S.?,fine,You will become an American citizen,

We are under no obligation to accept people who will not assimilate. We are under no obligation to accept people who want to replace the Constitution with Islamic law. We are under no obligation to accept people who think the Southwest should belong to Mexico. We are under no obligation to accept those who carry disease, who are mentally ill, or who are unable to work.

My father, and my mother's parents, were immigrants. They came in legally, and assimilted. I have no use for those who come here but who have no intention of becoming "one of us."

We're 4 years down the road and we still have done virtually nothing about our porous borders. There is absolutely no excuse for this.

But, he added, "control of the border will also require reducing the demand for illegal border migration" by channeling needed workers through a new legal system. Implicit in the guest worker program would be an increase in the number of legal immigrants.

Inotherwords, up is down, black is white, etc. The usual.
