"Someone who comes into this country, who thinks differently from you, is against the law?"

I guess you think we should let all the terrorists in too then and make them legal? Or do you just want Mexicans to be legal?

And no, it's not against the law for people who think differently from us to come into this country. They just have to go through the proper channel. The ones who don't are criminals from the day they step foot on US soil.

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't about racial differences. This is about criminal invasion and national security. If someone is here from Canada illegally, I want them out just like someone from Mexico or any other country. Go through the proper channel and come here legally, and I'll welcome you right on in. I won't welcome amnesty for those here illegally though. And if Bush does that, I'll vote libertarian.

Not only that, but it is unfair to the rest of the world. America can only take in so many new people at once, and if the bulk of that is Mexicans, than that means we won't be taking in people from India, Brazil or Laos.

I'm sure there are lots of people out there that hope for a better life in America, but are stuck doing the right thing, filling out the right forms, and waiting in line. Are there no people needier than the Mexicans out there? If there are, then why should Mexican immigrants, regardless of status, get preferrential treatment?
