Politics-Immigration

The immigrants are not to blame, it is the laws that are wrong!!!

1. The wall- While I may not agree with Bill Richardson on everything, I agreed completely when he said (paraphrasing)- If you build a 10 foot wall, all you will find on the other side is a bunch of 12 foot latters.
If a desert, and river and other extreme conditions will not keep them out then a silly wall wont either. besides what kind of countries build walls around themselves, oh yeah, Communist East Germany did it! That is just who we want o model ourselves after...or not.
I do find it ironic that just over 2 decades ago it was the Republican prince Ronald Reagan that was key in the demolition of the Berlin Wall. Now it is that same party that is championing the construction of our own version!

2. Speaking of Ronald Reagan, it was the same Mr. Reagan that signed the Immigration Reform and Control bill into law. That law gave amnesty to undocumented immigrants living here in the U.S. at the time. What is so wrong with that?!?
I guess we could try Huckabee's rediculous plan. Yeah! we will give them 160 to return home to get "in line". Then we will watch our economy really drop as the price of food goes through the roof! No more eating out, their will be no cooks! yeah right! if life was too expensive before, ha!
ok, so maybe that wont work, but maybe we can somehow get those 7oo or so Immigration and Customes Enforcement officers (ICE) to round up all 12 to 15 million undocumented immigrants that are estimated to be here. Now, keep in mind, this is a country with ideals, we must respect human rights, and we must not use racial profiling in the process (and yes, we believe that "all men are created equal" not just all men that are born on this side of that immaginary line called the border) and remember, because it is all good conservative republicans that seem to be against amnesty, we have to conduct this huge undertaking with the resources that we have because we cannot raise taxes! (actually, that is something i will agree with, I don't want my money contributing to such an outrage)

to be continued...
