Dear Mr. Courtney,
This note is regarding the AgJobs bill / H.R. 371 as well as any other bill on it's way through the system which seeks to grant "legal status" in any flavor it might be packaged.
Under no circumstances do most Americans support these efforts until and after our borders, ports and international airport points of entry are secured. You will, of course find a few very loud individuals on the far left shouting slogans such as "no human is illegal" and you'll find a few who attempt to paint this as a racial issue.
This opinion has no connection with race whatsoever, it's a national security and soverignty issue. If it is believed to be in our national interest to have more free trade and simpler movement of people and goods between the US, Canada and Mexico then lets ask them if they'd like to become the 51st and 52nd States and join our Union.
Otherwise, seal the damn borders and do it now.
Your vote in favor of any form of legal status for persons and/or their family who entered this country illegally and a vote made prior to the borders & points of entry being secure; Will ensure that you are looking for a job come the next election. Take care of the border issue first and then let's talk. No one wants to see the upheaval of attempting to deport these millions of hardworking people, but until that border is secure no one believes Congress, the Senate and least of all the President when they speak of "comprehensive" reform. Seal the border first, then call me. Thanks and Best Regards, Lloyd xxxxx

Good post bttt
Agree completely. It's the elephant on the table.
Thanks for the ping. It’s getting harder to track this stuff.
