Yes, those who obeyed the law while they were here by using fake SSNs, dodging taxes, using govt services paid for by US taxpayers, etc.

Fine upstanding people.

Well, I live in a state that has LOTS of these fine upstanding people. You like crime, poverty, a permanent educational underclass which will vote itself money from your pocket? You want nonassimiliation? You want to see Mexican, not American flags flying? You want to have people refuse to stand for the national anthem? Welcome to California. The lovely land where the Mexican drug cartels are taking over the local governments in SoCal cities, and flying the US flag upside down at government installations. Regan's amnesty only encouraged more of the same behavior. Hagel Martinez will have the same impact. Maybe we should just switch countries with Mexico while we have the chance.

Plus, if you believe our government can separate the wheat from the chaff, or has any intention of enforcing our borders after twenty years of neglect, I can only call you naive in the extreme. What was it, some 4 million new "citizens" that were admitted without security checks due to governmental oversight? Oh yes, trust them, by all means.

And just in case you hadn't thought this through...thanks to bills like the one your Senator proposed, we will have MUCH GREATER LEGAL IMMIGRATION OF MUSLIMS, both as citizens and as guestworkers. That will do wonders both for our security and the future of the Republic, won't it?

THIS issue determines every other issue, in case you didn't notice. The Republicans are killing our country a little more slowly then the Democrats, but not by much.

If anyone is forcing the burkha, it's the naive and/or lazy who trust our present government-Democrats AND Republicans-to do their jobs to protect and defend this country.

But don't worry, it will be ok...just go back to sleep.

"Yes, those who obeyed the law while they were here by using fake SSNs, dodging taxes..."

According to the bill it's for people who paid taxes.

But what was Lee Atwater's position on illegal immigration?

What was Gillespie's? What was Mehlman's?

You don't know, because it never mattered. The head of the party does not set any policy -- whatsoever.

This is just an excuse to GOP-bash.

Enjoy. I suspect the burka will be an improvement.
