We basically support a set of laws designed by Big Labor to prevent foreigners from coming here and competing with the unionized workers.

If we’re not anti-Immigrant we sure aren’t pro-Immigrant.

I think the “legal immigration” dodge is a cop-out. We are talking about a misdemeanor crime, committed by people who for the most part come here to work in our economy. If we object to their going on welfare rolls, then let’s reform the welfare system. But beyond wanting to know who is here, having their fingerprints on file, and making sure they pay taxes and don’t freeload on the government, I would be in favor of dramatically raising immigration, and offering amnesty to those who are willing to sign up with the legal system.

No, we are not talking about a misdemeanor crime. All immigration violations, if prosecuted, are felonies

You are totally missing the point. You have no idea what hell illegals reek in communities.

I live in a border state so don’t oversimplify the problem.

Illegal aliens are criminals. If you think that isn’t a politically correct description rewrite the law and call them something else.

By the way, most countries will detain you and prosecute you if you try crawling over their borders.

An illegal alien is a felon. Amnesty, Dream Act and any other bogus feel good descriptor involves forgiving criminal activity and rewarding the criminals.
