Looks to me the Republicans are much to blame for the immigration problem. Hold on to your hat here...I work for the INS and most INS Officers are fed of with the way things are going. For nearly every law to keep illegal aliens out there is a waiver that allows these criminals, illegal to adjust their status and eventually become Americans. I find it interesting that of lately the Republicans have slammed the INS for a myriad of problems that they, the law makers, wrote the laws allowing these problems to fester.

I wish most Americans understood the immigration laws that congressmen write up.

Here's another one. Congressmen are representatives for their constiuants, American citizens. However, you wouldn't believe the aliens that write "our" congressmen who then follow up, and well you already guessed it, ask the INS to approve their petitions.

Enough, I needed to vent.

I've noticed that too. Of course, many Democrats have had their hands in the pie as well. It truly is a "bipartisan" fiasco.

Sad thing is, most people don't really bother reading the paper. In fact, many of these laws never make the front page, if any page at all.

Congressmen are representatives for their constiuants, American citizens.

Politicians pretend to care about their "constituents" by debating such lofty subjects as term limits, the "need" for diversity in the workplace, social security, etc, etc, etc. But when it comes right down to it, they obviously don't give a rat's a** about anyone but themselves and their pocketbook...

The PRIMARY reason for the existance of a federal government is to provide for the defense of our country and its people. However, it appears that those who write the laws today are more concerned with the so-called rights of foreign nationals than the interests and welfare of our own citizens.
