CAll me as I am - a pro-immigration conservative Republican. One who will work to re-elect President bush in 2004, and who will find a solid conservaitve who will keep things going in 2008 - at present, I am hoping Jeb will run in `08, but I also like Condi Rice, Bill Frist, and wouldn't object to seeing either Steve Forbes, Rick Santorum, or J.C. Watts also run as well.

What makes you think that, because I am against illegal immigration, that I am therefore opposed to immigration? Hint: I'm not, and my first wife was a naturalized citizen. I am, however, against illegal immigration, and I am against levels of immigration that strain the social structure of society, where small towns are unable to provide the services necessary to help new immigrants - and I am also against current liberal attitudes in this country that oppose assimilation and instead seek to keep immigrants locked into their original cultures, the better to make them long-term dependents upon the state (and Democratic social programs). So we need to figure out a level of immigration that this country can handle. Right now, the current system only favors Democrats and businesses who wish to hold labor costs down by hiring illegals. The rest of us, working stiff American citizens, legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, are all collectively getting the shaft.

That's all fine and good hutch. But don't you think that our immigration laws ought to be reformed? Don't you agree that even our legal immigration policies, and Visa programs are out of control. Are they not creating a dangerous atmosphere here in America, in todays treacherous world?
