A fine representative of his opinion.
It looks as if she won't be receiving my vote either. My congressman received an F. Damn gerrymandering.

In the last several days I've probably spoken to a dozen or more people about the illegal immigration problem and the fact that Congress is trying to pass Section 245(i). None of these people that I've talked to about this problem are members of Free Republic. So it's not just how many supporters there are on this thread that's important, it's how many other people those 100 supporters have spoken to about this problem.
I know you've worked hard to keep this thread alive, and you've posted a lot of good information.
But I suggest you start a new one in another hour or two, and then as many new ones as needed to keep them manageable for people who don't have the time to read 1400+ posts.
People will soon be getting ready for work, then popping in on their breaks and lunch hours. They won't have the time to click through tons of pages trying to get to ping you sent them.
BTW, I haven't had time to read through this entire thread either, so forgive me if someone already pointed this out. There are currently 43 Mexican consulates in 19 US states. The location list was posted here in reply #87. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/643540/posts?q=1&&page=51#87
When Gloria Alcantar came to the United States 22 years ago, she imagined the golden opportunities she had seen in the movies. Instead, trapped in a legal battle over a 15-year-old immigration law, she feels she never got a fair chance.
Like hundreds of thousands of immigrants in a decades-long legal dispute over the 1986 immigration amnesty law, Alcantar says she could have earned more money, secured health insurance and visited family in Mexico--if only she'd been granted a green card.

Why doesn't the government send the bill for their 'free' health care to Mexico? I know, dumb question. As for Bush and his mantra, 'it's the right thing to do', he is totally warped. It would be the humane thing for me to do if I gathered up a bunch of homeless people and took them into my home, but common sense tells me that's crazy.
Because alien status is a protected class under our consitution and any state distiction based on that status will fail if challeged in court. See Prop 187.
