Thank you for your words of cowardice and surrender.
Sorry I don't view that way. My main concerns have always been security and some to slow this down and have some sort of assilimation process occur with these immigrants. Also in the process of doing so not make the Hispanic community vote Dem in large numbers. That would have been a shame since the majority of Mexican Americans deem illegal immigration a major problem.
If this final bill contains provisions for real border security and a sensible worker program ,thats not anything goes, I can get behind it. Also, it appears that some are recognizing that not all these illegals want to be citizens. That is a good thing.
The alternative is nothing. Politically, the House bill that so many people want can't pass. There has to be a compromise on it. The foes of illegal immigration if they would wake up and smell the coffee should realize that. However if pressed to a position of its all or nothing we will get Nothing. Furthermore, if the Dems take Congress and maybe the White House you can forget about any meaningful reform. In fact the problems that so many here rightfully complain about will have increased 10 fold by the time we get back into power.
Compromise is not a always a dirty word. In fact its often how things get done and one reason why this Country works. The key is that the compromise doesn't negate the underlying principal you are fighting for.
