For those in favor of amnesty

If we give amnesty to the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens they will be able to bring in their families, so we are talking about adding about 48 to 80 million people to the U.S. And that's not counting the increase in illegal immigration a amnesty will cause.

    Well, given that this IS a country built on immigrants, what seems to be the problem? I would suspect all of the Native Americans are laughing their heads off.

    Here's something to make the blood boil. There was something in todays local paper about a woman who has been here illegally for 26 years and wants amnesty. What BS. Needless to say, her kids are US citizens since they were born here. I wonder how much of my taxes has gone to puttin food on her table, providing an education for her kids, and their medical care.

    With 300 million people the country is built. The country is full and sure doesn't need more illegal aliens.

    "what seems to be the problem"? I would suspect it's your brain.

    ... THAT comment makes folks with JUST A MODICOM OF COMMON SENSE laugh at YOU![:D][:D][:D]W Why would it be necessary to specify LEGAL immigrants? I think you are reading something into my comment that wasn't intended. And given that most folks don't have just a mocidom of common sense, it is a non-issue.

    BTW, welcome back. [:D]
