a growing Muslim population

Really? Will this ultimatly be any different than the Israel lobby (whose supporters dominate the Democratic Party in South Florida and vote 85% Dem nationwide) lobbying to send my tax dollars to their country. What about the Greek, Armenian and Cuban lobbies? I think middle eastern immigration will be good for our foreign policy, as it will ultimatly make it more balanced than what it has been.

The Libertarian Party - The Best Friend Illegal Terrorists Could Ever Hope For

IMMIGRATION

We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.

We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new "Berlin Wall" which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government's policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.

Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference.

We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.

I picked those two only because Muslims have the money to buy influence disproportionate to their population, and illegal Mexican immigrants have the voting block to pull most of the influence in the coming decades. It could be any group, the important thing here is will our Constitution last? And how do we make it important to new arrivals when it's not even really taught in school, nor is the undoctored history of this nation. How can we make it important to people who are taught to hate everything about us from the get go when our media, schools, politicians have created and promoted such a terrible image of us that they are guilty and jointly responsible for 9-11?

Powerful and incisive commentary.
