I think Mr. Bush wants a united North America. I don't.

I agree, and neither do I.

In the last two months my Russian stepdaughter's immigration priority date has regressed backwards 4.5 years. She has been waiting since August of 2002 to immigrate here as the adult daughter of a citizen, and as such she is in the top priority. When we started this process it took 3.5 years for her to immigrate here legally. With what has happened in the last two months she now has 5 years and 8 months more to wait, and this is in the best family category. She is now further away from coming here than she was 4 years ago. Legal immigrants from China and India have the same problem. However, if you are coming from Mexico the dates have advanced.

There have been almost twice as many legal immigrants from Mexico in the last 15 years as from all of Europe, and that does not include the illegal aliens here. Additionally, not everyone knows this, but there have been 7 amnesties since 1986, NOT ONE. Over 6 million have been granted amnesties. When it comes to immigration truth, justice and the American way are only for Superman comic books.

Last week I had a high ranking Congressional aide say to me, "I will not put this in writing, and I will deny ever having told you this. Every month the State Department and the DHS get together and decide how to divide up the visas. The immigrant priority date means nothing, and they just give that to potential immigrants to placate them. Most of the immigrant visas are going to Mexico." The person who told me this is a conservative Republican.
