>>Been nice knowin' ya, America<<

We have problems. We've had problems before. We'll get through it and its still a great time to be American - the best time yet, I think.

How old are you, may I ask?

We'll get through it

We have never been in vaded by an occupying force of 10-20% of our population size before.

If the Bush Amnesty plan (let's not even talk about the McCain/Kennedy plan) goes through, we will have an invasion force of 30-40 MILLION, all of which hold loyalty NOT to the USA, her laws, language, culture morals, NOTHING.

THAT will be the end of America.

In the past we have always had to courage to face our major problems and stand up for what America has always stood for, no matter how tough we had to be it was worth it for the good of the country.

I agree that we can face up to the problems of today and we are able to solve them. I just hope we have enough guts to do so.

I don't know.....the immigration issue is a part of a much bigger issue and that would be the path of socialism that this country is on.

The founding fathers knew of the dangers:

from the Federalist paper No. 1:
Hamilton writes:

....the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interests can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants.
