This thread showed up in the current articles when I searched “aliens” for some unknown reason.
I found your responses fascinating. Even more fascinating is that for at least 21/2 years you all have been fighting the good fight here, facing the very same open border, Bush policy at any cost, posters. Thank you for your dedication. I’m sure it was often unpleasant.
How many millions more have come in that 2 1/2 years?
It seems to me the guest worker crowd has demanded and gotten their guest workers in that time. They’ve had their turn at sacrificing us all for their leisure and profit. Millions have come while they’ve stalled, lied and aligned themselves with the enemy within.
Build the Fence!
Post #132,( Unfortunately, the GOP Platform no long comes near.)
Here's the START of the GOP's current stance on immigration:
" The Constitution of the United States is a supreme law, and not a mere contract. Out of confederated States it made a sovereign nation...Since the authority to regulate immigration and intercourse between the United States and foreign nations rests with the Congress of the United States and the treaty-making power, the Republican party regarding the unrestricted immigration...as a matter of grave concernment under the exercise of both these powers, would limit and restrict that immigration by the enactment of such just, humane and reasonable laws and treaties as will produce that result."
-- Republican Party Platform, 1880
That position lead to massive changes in this country' immigration policy and a crackdown on criminals and anarchists in our nation, especially in the 1920s. It also lead to decades of Republican Party VICTORIES, since the position reflected (and still does) the vast majority of the public's views on immigration.

By the looks of things the fight's just beginning.
