RE :” So you don't think laws need to be changed or added to affect the following status quo: Chain migration.
Anyone born on US soil - even if their parent just snuck across the border - being granted US citizenship.
Letting Obama’s illegal relative stay in the US.
Illegal immigrants being entitled to education, health, and all kinds of social benefits.
Immigration quotas that favor the third world

So you trust Obama/Pelosi/Reid to fix these problems?? Go read the stimulus package if you need an idea what they might do. Jeeze!

Thanks for pointing that out. It is a point I wanted to make to Deborah last night, but forgot. Mitt is semi-quoted as suggesting he wants "comprehensive immigration reform passed before 2010."

Setting aside all disagreement as to what Mitt's real position might really be on immigration, or what he might want to include under the "reform" umbrella, one has to wonder what kind of reform would be passed. My belief is that given the goals of the man occupying the White House, and the current make-up in Congress, there is only one kind--and it includes Amnesty and a whole host of other things (porkulus on steroids).

As such, I think the Republican message should be one to highlight the actions that can already be taken under existing law. What better time to support border enforcement and immigration enforcement than when 10% of the workforce is unemployed? What better time to put Obama on the spot to modify quotas for legal immigration? What better time to highlight the billions that are being spent on welfare of citizens from other countries when everyone's quality of life is declining, taxes are increased, and portfolios are diminished? What better time to highlight that the American Dream is only possible when the rule of law is enforced and that open borders threatens not only national security but achievement of that Dream for all the citizens and legal immigrants in this country. .... What better time to point out that this is an American issue, not one of race or ethnicity or national origin. ... I could go on...

But instead, politicians pander.

Uhm. What the hell do they have to do with anything?

Please, put your computer back in the box and return it to Best Buy. You may be able to exchange it for a new car stereo or something you might be able to operate.
