Thank you for taking the time to post on Free Republic. I am hopeful that we'll ultimately find a solution to the immigration dilemma and I believe that the President Bush is taking the correct approach on this issue.

I believe that it is important for us to reach out to the Hispanics while at the same time checking out the background of each illegal immigrant in the United States to make sure that they are not potential terrorists. It is also important to secure our borders by building a fence to control the flow of undocumented immigrants.

It is time to reach a conclusion in all this and President Bush is taking leadership on this vital issue even if a majority of his base is opposed to this.

That may put me in a minority view on this forum but there are few others who agree with me.

Explain how you check the background of someone from South America that has done all sorts of crimes down there and then entered the US illegally? You can't! That's one of the silliest things about this whole charade!

You can't even do a comprehensive electronic criminal history on LEGAL AMERICANS! Before Mr. Thompson got to the point in government that he could work in the White House do you think they punched a few keys on a computer and said "he's clean"? Nope, they had people go out and investigate him by talking to friends, neighbors, employers, etc. Why did they do that? Because there is no such thing as a comprehensive criminal history background check!

Can you give me some money? I’m having a hard time feeding my kids and paying rent. I actually have to get up 5 and sometimes 6 days a week and go to work for 9 or 10 hours a day and 40% of the money I earn goes to federal, state, and local income taxes. Could you just forward me your paycheck to my bank account? Thanks. I know how much you want to help illegals in this country...could you please help me, an American citizen??..Please?

Oh, great. Anyone who replies to this guy will be put on a list. If they want to, they can read any and all of my user posts. I'm a reformed Bushbot with all due respect.

The Bushbots who are left are at A Day in the Life. If this guy needs some support, he can visit that thread.
