You really don't want to answer the question do you? Again, why should I support an illegal alien jumping ahead of the line when there are millions waiting patiently to come here legally?

"rah-rah" seesion. This won't even translate even on AltaVista.

You might wish to consult a dictionary - you don't seem to grasp the difference between legal and illegal immigration; this is a very common failure with liberals And a common tactic of the anti-immigrant crowd. Like it or not these people like your ancestors came to this country for a better life. They are here. 90% of them have worked hard and busted their ass picking your food, cleaning your hotel room and washing your dishes. Jobs you would never take but you have benefited from their labor and you still give them the finger.

Yes, you're exactly right about the 14th. It changes the relationship between the federal and state governments and that's why it never garnered the number of states necessary for ratification. In the 60's some Southerners tried to get the ball rolling to rescind the 14th on the grounds that it was never ratified. They were lambasted in the press as racists and hatemongers.
The amendment could be rescinded by state action much more simply than by the cumbersome method of trying to repeal reams of federal laws based on the 14th. Before the 14th, the federal government had very little say in processes of naturalization, which were all state processes. Citizenship was a state granted status and the Constitution never contained a grant of power for the federal government to grant or deny citizenship.
It's glaringly obvious that federal control of immigration is a miserable failure. It was designed to fail in every way except as a tool for manipulation of the makeup of American society. When my child gets hold of one of my tools and sets about doing something destructive with it, I take it away from her. That's what the states need to do with the federal government which is their child and not their parent.

We're sliding back to lettuce again. But Dane still refuses to differentiate between legal and illegal. Lost cause with him I'm afraid.
To: Dane
You might wish to answer my earlier question - were your ancestors illegal aliens? Is this why you feel that anyone in the world has a right to enter the United States whether they are wanted or not? What other laws in "Dane's world" can simply be ignored because they are not convenient?

They are here, you have benefitted from their labor, unless you clean your own dishes after a meal at a restaurant or make your own bed and clean your own toilet at a hotel. And you want to ship them back, for what. The crime of cleaning your toilet and washing your dishes.

I wasn't yelling, I just wanted to make sure that the god of no typos would hear my begging for forgivness.

Yes, you're right on that. What would a country that invented the atomic bomb and sent a man to the moon do without all these illegal aliens to scrub the toilets and wash our dishes? Why we'd collapse of course.
The more you open your mouth the less sense you make because you won't explain why I should show hospitality to lawbreaking illegal aliens.
To: Reaganwuzthebest
I don't know why liberals want to play here - they would be much more comfortable at DU or Common Dreams.

By the way, it is "forgiveness" not forgivness.

Yep, I'm waiting for Missy, too. Surely she will squash us all like bugs with her incisive commentary on this latest W strategery for fooling the dimmies.
