I wouldn't call our ancestors nor illegal immigrants lawbreakers.

I'm sorry sir but thats a distortion of the facts and is an attempt to downplay this for what its not.

I dont feel we should really be giving incentive to people to break the law. We have legal avenues to becoming a citizen in this country. Those processes are set by the legislators, who are elected by We The People. When that process is ignored, to a certain extent it shows contempt for We The People, Our elected representatives and to some degree as well, our Nation as a whole.

Conservatism is about ethics, the rule of law and accountability. It is a little more just an easily disposable plank for corporate interests.

Please try and remember that.

To say that people are lawbreakers for moving to greener grass is to say that every people through history were lawbreakers. It's up to the current residents to keep migrating people out by force.

So you are of the opinion that this rewards illegal aliens. There's another thread that says this only applies to people who are here legally. Explain and document if you can.

Most corporate interests are my interests. Corporations make the food I eat, the fighters jets that protect me, the clothes on my back. Corporations are my customers when I provide my labor for them for a price. I'm a pro-business Republican. The anti-business rhetoric isn't going to convince me of anything.

Please try and remember that.

I will remember that it's the corporations and the people that run them that help make America great.
