Why isn't there a viable illegal alien candidate for president in '08?

My question is not rhetorical since it is attempting to address the double standard between why illegals can hold pretty much any job in the US besides those of professionals(doctors, lawyers, etc) and why they can not run for president. After all shouldn't illegals be disqualified from all positions not just the office of President because after all they are ILLEGAL?

REALLY? I was completely unaware of this. You're very sharp, Sherlock, thanks for setting the record straight.

I now fully realize that you were merely being satirical, and had no utter intention of starting an inflammatory thread. In fact, I'm rather enlightened because not one of the fine points you have made on this issue has been discussed to death in any myriad of theads on this very board.

It's ok Maria, thanks for the insult and the typical asymmetrical rhetoric supporting illegals.

I guess I was just wondering why a minority consisting of 15 to 20 million "Americans" isn't represented in the general election?

They ARE NOT Americans and therefore do not deserve any representation. PERIOD.

Representation in American government is for AMERICANS - not illegal criminals who come to this country breaking the law.

Case closed.
