Bills aren't going to stop the crossings. Action will.
You get the impression that he's not running for re-election.
i think a deal can be reached with the Democrats (i hope). Increase legal immigrations intake but provide the fund, approx $8 billion to build a fence across the mexican border
I despise RINOs' more than democrats.
Well, the workers to pay for Social Security are going to have to come from somewhere, and we aren't breeding them here.
I thought it was Phil Spector and space aliens.
What we want is a SECURE BORDER!! you idiot!!
First, lots stop, ILLEGAL ALIENS from breaking into this country - then lets talk about increasing the quote for legal immigration.
It makes me ill, to hear liberal whine about "rule of law" when it comes to Scooter Libby and then hear them mock anyone who wants to enforce the drug laws or the immigration laws.
If we were able to deport the majority of illegal immigrants, and effectively decrease illegal immigration, there would unquestionably be a labor shortage.
I'm not sure we need to double the number of legal immigrants, but I do think the number does need to increase.
However, we first need to address illegal immigration.
I don't like Spector, but this article seems very biased to me. It concentrates on the part of the plan to increase illegal immigration but doesn't give details about the plan.
However, it should be obvious that if we do address illegal immigration, that we will need to increase legal immigration. Our unemployment rates are low. We have a HUGE illegal immigrant population. If we are successful at dramaticly reducing illegal immigration, and we are successful at removing a large percentage of the illegal immigrants from the country, we obviously don't have enough workers.
I'm very concerned about a plan that only plays lip service too addressing illegal immigration, while increasing legal immigration. We need strong and effective immigration enforcement.
However, our country's economic prosperity does rely on having a sufficient pool of workers. A little tightening of the labor market can be nice for workers, but if it's too tight, the result is inflation and decreased competitiveness without other countries. That helps neither employers or employees.
Now, I know why the President went to help with his reelection!

"And it's about time!"
What is it in the Washington water that turns so many of these politicians into stupid fools? Is it tainted with cold cash and hot ego?
It's not just illegal aliens we desperately need to deport. It's these alien politicians!
Here it is, Anal Sphincter has flexed his puckered head again! We didn't want him in office, but Santorum and Bush rallied around this ASS!!
All of the politicians are crying about how much it will cost to locate and deport the illegal aliens in this country, Bovine Scarptology!!
Teddy and his buddies wanted to GIVE these ILLEGAL ALIENS $2,500 each!! I say put a bounty of their asses for $1,000.00 and heavy fines on their employers. Get rid of Teddy and his friends in the Congress, strip them of their citizenship and deport them to France or Mexico!
Spectre is so bad that nothing I could say about this is acceptable language for FR.
I'm really coming to the conclusion that 98% of all politicians are nothing more than enemies of the people. Doing it on purpose.
Let's send New Orleans some more water while we're at it.
This is what we get for focusing on the illegal aspect of immigration instead of the volume of immigration. It is the volume of immigration that is the problem. The impact of immigration on our economy and the culture is not based on whether or not these folks have a piece of paper that says their presence was approved by the feds.
