are we anti-immigrant? I know many non-resident, legal immigrants that would disagree. I've been to a few naturalization ceremonies, brought tears to my eyes as it did to many of the participants.
We all should be anti "illegal" immigrant.
Why is this a Bush thing? Illiegal immigration is a major problem, it puts an economic burden on health care, schools, and security. I dont have a solution, but ignoring the issue and not deporting those that broke the laws of the contry they want to be part of makes no sense.

Mexico is more anti-immigrant so we should be to.

Generally speaking no...but that's the point.
I'm just illustrating the silly nature of comments like this.

Because all national and world problems are directly or indirectly Bushs fault to the Moonbats. |

hehe...Moonbat.
Every time I hear a political pundit or talk show host use the term I giggle. There may not be a better political term to describe that certain segment of the looney left.
During the last gubernatorial election here in Boston, Howie Carr claims he had just come from the polls and the Deval Patrick moonbats were everywhere. Grown men in suits with bow ties riding three-speed bicycles to work with helmets and backpacks. Grace Ross lookalikes.... I was in tears I was laughing so hard.
I wonder how they are all feeling now? He may have just had the worst first 2 months as a governor in the history of our country.  |

I think you are safe Raven.... unless of course I found you doing a crossword puzzle in a dark room.  |

I think there are many sides to the issue.
Cut and dry side:
1. The owner should do time.
2. The illegals should be deported, because they do not contribute tax $$$$ for the idiots Washington to waste.
3. The military should know with whom they do business.
On the human side:
1. It is a very sad story for every person involved.
2. Every one of those people worked their butt off.
3. They were exploited by scumbags that feed on their needs.

Unfortunately sometimes people don't see the difference. Thats the sad part.
I agree something needs to be done though
