There are plenty of times in American history were CONSERVATIVES welcomed immigrants to this continent.

Why are you utterly incapable of differentiating between legal and ILLEGAL immigration? Why are you so bound and determined to reward criminals? You're not taking a conservative position on this at all. Stop fooling yourself.

I can differentiate between "legal" and "illegal" - some here want to stop BOTH - see the links in my posts #386-387 - I don't want to "reward" them any more than normal plea bargains or other punishments for minor infractions. I've always said I have no problem with illegal aliens having to return home to apply. I guess you can claim Lincoln and the GOP were being "liberal" trying to free the slaves too - that's my brand of conservatism. As I've always said too, had we not killed 40 million plus under Roe v. Wade, maybe we wouldn't need all these illegal aliens.
