While that is true and few will dispute the point we are at a point in our history where the world has shrunk.
In a world of 6 billion people how many law abiding legal immigrants do we let in and who should make the choice?
Currently the choices are made for us.
They simply walk across the border and lay claim to our social, welfare,business systems as if they always had rights to them. Worse yet we are preparing to legitimize their behavior at the country's and the rest of the worlds expense.
Many claim that the system we have now is hopelessly and haplessly broken. But is it? Or are the laws now on the books just blatantly been overlooked,ignored or worse yet willingly been violated? I say they are and should not be and that should be our starting point to correct the current invasion.
The attitude that they(the illegals) are already here and we have to give up and placate them is BullShi...and should not be agreed to by anyone.
Agreed....as I said, TRADITIONAL citizenship laws.

Mark Steyn has a terrific column (so what else is new!) in the latest edition of National Review. I haven't checked if it can be found on line.
"An army of peasants defeated the soi-disant hyperpower. America's closest allies -- the Australians, say -- periodically seek some modest advantge for their citizenry in return for their steadfast support, and generally get nowhere. But a population the size of Australia's simply moved across the border and, despite huge public hostility to the strains imposed on local education and health care, the U S government simply shrugged. There's nothing we can do except give in.
It goes on in brilliant fashion to say that "peasants" is not being used in a pejorative sense but to reflect what happened with some help from inside the perimeter-- the business class and the political elites.
