Immigration reform should stay on front burner

In the wake of Tuesday's election, political analysts are busily predicting what the outcome means for Congress and the country. With Republicans now in the majority in the House of Representatives, many policies will probably change radically. What must not change, however, is work on immigration reform.

We are both of Japanese American descent - I was raised (and Scott's father was raised) in World War II-era internment camps for Japanese Americans. Thus we are keenly aware of the need for our society to be more inclusive.

"The Reuniting Families Act, which I will reintroduce in the 112th Congress, allows all Americans to be reunited with their families. That includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender permanent partners (adults who are in committed lifelong relationships and are financially interdependent)."

Another reason to thank the Lord that the Democrats lost control of the House.

Please, liberal imbeciles, keep amnesty on the front burner.

Let’s just give CA to Mexico and be done with it. It seems the climate is excellent for growing morons of all colors, and it’s just not worth the trouble or expense to keep it.

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

and A PATHWAY TO DEPORTATION

This propaganda piece is such twaddle. Not one word about what is best for America, not one word mentioning that American allows more immigrants than the rest of the world combined. AND NOT ONE WORD THAT WE WANT TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
We used to allow about 600,000 immigrants a year and they were not allowed to go on welfare. Now we allow over 1 million and allow them to get welfare.
