They don't care. This issue has nothing to do with national security.

It's not a straw man argument. He was not charged with a crime, because he did not knowingly hire illegals.

Yeah don't ask don't tell. That's our Tom. LOL

But I have to disagree about belligerence

By belligerence I mean acts that could be considered and act of war. Canada has done nothing close to what most countries south of the border have done in terms of words and actions.

...and I know of a lot of people on both sides will simply never go get passports.

Nor should they. I've traveled through Canada for months at a time and never needed a passport. Things changed after 9/11. I think the idea of passport entry into Canada from the U.S. or vice versa is stupid, even if you're a farmer and some of your land is on the other side of the border. It's a fricken hassle.

Yes, it is...except for those here, who scream about OPEN BORDERS/SEAL THE BORDERS, unceasingly. For them, instead of four borders, America has only one.

I consider harboring terrorists an act of war. It may change now BUT the Canadian government has allowed the most extreme Islamic nuts in this hemisphere to walk unmolested. I understand where you are coming from and I agree. You and I can discuss things. With the people I am doing battle with there is no compromise on their parts so I just point out their hypocrisy.

The problem that we're having with illegals cannot be solved with passports. Are you that obtuse?

I've already heard from folks in Alberta that they've cut back on their visits because of harassment crossing the border and I know of a lot of people on both sides will simply never go get passports. They'll just stop their occasional visits. But, heh, it's easier to come down on the ordinary citizens than on the Muslim idiots that we're really after.

Coming down on ordinary citizens?

Any person who enters this country should have to prove that they are a citizen of this country before coming in.

Anything else is as they say, "A Wide Open Border".

The new passport rules will be a good thing.

If GW calls out the National Guard will they be happy?

Nope. I will bet Bill O'Reilly won't be either. He's been calling for the military to be stationed on the border.

As you know, because you've already been told several times by Spiff and I and others, the contractor was provided with documents from his workers, which some were later proven fraudulent. Tancredo did not KNOWINGLY HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS. He legally hired what he thought a reputable company. I suppose you think that the entire time that work was performed at his home, in Colorado, he was there 24/7 to observe who was working at his home, even though he also travels to D.C.? The law requires that those who employ someone demand citizenship/work papers from their employees? I'm sure that the company produced valid paperwork to Tancredo, as would be required at a worksite. And if Tancredo did demand that he receive copies of each and every person who would be working at his house produce paperwork, and they happened to all be Mexicans, people like you would be the first to claim that the Congressman was a rascist. You, on the other hand, said you knew that you've hired illegals, would again, bragged about doing so, and encourage others to do the same. You're nothing like Conservative Republican Tom Tancredo, whom you smear at every opportunity.

Without passports, illegals can forge their way into this country using fake documents.

What good is it having a wall if the illegals can use fake documents at entry points?

Unlike you, I am neither "obtuse", nor completely and utterly abjectly lacking in the knowledge of factual history. Nor, for that matter, am I illogical, irrational, and I don't have any difficulty with reading comprehension...all, again, unlike you.
