That site is hoot, and I am glad you posted it. He has 11 Green checks and one red x and they give him a C+? Never been teachers before I guess.
I was talking about interior enforcement. I guess i did not make this link prominent enough. http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgradescategory.php3?District=TN&Category=9&Status=Career&VIPID=743&retired=1
He got 20/31. That isn't a C+ where i come from That is a D.

The United States is a nation of immigrants
That makes me sick and I am a child of immigrants.
The US existed before immigrants came. We were founded by citizens, with a largely common culture.

Throughout our history, legal immigrants have brought energy, ideas, strength, and diversity to our country, our economy, and our culture. This must continue.
Sure. They have also brought disunity, discord, dislocation, regional depression, socialism, and communism. Our historical pattern is to counter a generation of relatively lax immigration with one of closed immigration to allow for Americanization.

. But in the post-9/11 world, immigration is more of a national security issue.
Post-9/11? This was an issue well before then.

Securing our borders and enforcing immigration laws. Amnesty is not an option and the toleration of “sanctuary cities” must end.
And "sanctuary employers?"

Reviewing our immigration laws and policies to ensure they advance our national interests.
Does that include cheap labor?

Uniting Americans by welcoming legal immigrants willing to learn English, assimilate into our communities, and become productive citizens.
1. Good start. How about we work to Americanize them?
2. What do we do with those who don't want to Americanize?
3. Wouldn't reducing numbers do this too?

That tells me everything I need to know right there.

First the confrederates accuse you of lying, and when you show proof of Thompson's pro-illegal immigration votes, then they defend his pro-illegal votes and explain why they were right.

Fred Thompson on Citizenship "Deal" for Illegal Immigrants - "You're either going to drive 12 million people underground permanently, which is not a good solution. You're going to get them all together and get them out of the country, which is not going to happen. Or you're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship..."

Fred supports amnesty, just like his closest political ally, John McCain. Now some pro-illegal invasion confrederates will explain to me why amnesty is really a good thing and why we need all these hard-working immigrants to pick our lettuce because Americans' just won't.
