I haven't seen all the details of Bush's new immigration policy ideas, but anything that gives any sort of legitimacy to illegal immigrants automatically gets a thumb down from me. These people have already broken the law, and now we want to make it easier for them? My god, we put small time pot dealers in jail for 20 to life, but break at least four laws by sneaking across the border and working, and we'll shake your hand and congratulate you. The scary part is we already have some of the most relaxed immigration standards of any country in the world, and now Bush wants to make it easier. The rest of the world, in a typical double standard, complains whenever anyone in the U.S. talks about hardening our border laws, calling us racist and uncooperative. I'm tired of it. We ought to lock up the Mexican border, throw out the illegals, and then, once we're clean of such refuse, start all over with sensible and enforceable standards. Most of our population came from immigrants, and I'm not suggesting we cut off all immigration and become isolationist. I just want a system that rewards people for doing things right, and doesn't take my tax dollars to pay for people who are breaking the law.
