And why exactly is what he said "bull?" I happen to agree with his thinking. Enough of this division bullcrap, lets start seeing people as they are, PEOPLE! The only difference between you and that illegal is place of birth. Yes, right now they are here illegally, but maybe the law should be changed.
Claiming illegals are the real terrorists is a very bold and misguided statement. The vast majority of illegals are hardworking individuals. They are not a terrorist threat. Why shouldn't they migrate here if it means the opportunity to provide a better life for their families? Thats the basis for this country, a land of the free, a land of opportunity.

We can start by legislating against all free public services for illegal immigrants. No more free medical care, er visits, nothing.
They say americans are racist. You know who I have found is most angry? The legal immigrants. My friends who are legal immigrants are SEETHING.
This is the biggest insult. They worked hard, learned the language, found sponsers, and did it the right way.
My theory is this: anyone who is found here illegally gets to serve in Iraq. For every year you are here illegally,you get to serve six months in Iraq. This should start paying back all the back taxes, civil services, and economic drain.
That is what bothers me, illegals want rights, but I don't see anyone standing in line to serve in the armed forces or the national guard.

Also, lets not forget that we are talking about the illegals ... Bush's chosen ones. Bush will do whatever it takes to avoid actually securing the Mexican border.

Come on now man, give the president a break.
Dont you know its hard to fight a war against extremists in one country while illegally invading and occupying another country.
How is a guy suppose to find the time to close the barn door too?
Seriously, how long has he been in office now? Seven years?
The entire time telling us about 'terrorists' who want to 'destroy our way of life' and so we must send our mothers/fathers/brothers/sisters/sons/daughters/friends to distant lands in order to 'protect our freedom'.
In the mean time all the manufacturing jobs have been shipped off to communist China and the service sector jobs are getting filled by illegal immigrants from multiple nations crossing primarily the Mexican border.
America is being imploded right before your eyes.

What I said had nothing to do with compassion or emotion. It comes from the view that every single person on this planet is a human being, that there really is no need for these divisions caused by borders. We should be more concerned about helping our fellow man then labeling and criminalizing their attempts for survival.

I am arguing it should NOT be illegal for them to come here. Borders are just a legal excuse for discrimination. What would be wrong with allowing people to settle where they wish? We allow it on a minute level with the ability to travel and live in any state we please. If one states taxes/minimum wage/etc laws dont suit us, we can move to a state where they do.
