Yes they do. The current immigration policy that favors so-called "family reunification" (or nepotism, as I prefer to call it) is a result of Ted Kennedy's 1965 immigration act. We will not have a sane immigration policy until we repeal it.
But I've never seen one proposed provision within "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" legislation that corrected those issues,
Then you don't get out very much, do you? Bush's immigration reform bill was not the only one proposed. I leave it to you as an exercise to look up reform bills sponsored by people like Tom Tancredo who favor tighter immigration laws and lower legal immigration numbers.
That then automatically reduces the number of anchor babies and the amount of dollars being spent on welfare benefits.
FYI, the welfare spending on poor legal immigrants dwarfs any amount spent on illegals.
As I have said in at least 2 posts on this thread, I don't have a problem with the family reunification laws. They are not the problem, unless you attach them to a massive amnesty program. I see no reason to repeal it. I would rather have the mothers or sisters or brothers of those legal immigrants that followed the law than the lawbreakers who think they are entitled amnesty.

Lose the snide comments.

As I said, "I've never seen one proposed provision within 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform' legislation that corrected those issues." Now you cite Tancredo. I would ask what bill that Tancredo introduced was ever referred to as "Comprehensive Immigration Reform." I have also never heard anyone to say that "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" would include lowering the number of legal immigrants -- care to offer a citation on that one?

And your point is? We should get rid of legal immigrants and keep the illegal ones because they are cheaper? And what happens when the illegals become legal through amnesty or the fraudulently named "path to citizenship" proposals? Kabooom! Watch the welfare roles explode!
Our immigration system is not "broken" as our liberal media keeps telling us -- the laws are just not enforced. There is only one reason for "Comprehensive Immigration Reform," IMO. It is to push Amnesty.
