My primary issues with granting amnesty to the currently residing
illegals are:
1. it's a slap in the face to every American citizen that has obeyed the
law and followed the system like they were supposed to. There's millions
of them, so, while I believe that the system definitely does need some
review, it quite obviously works.
I agree.
2. we don't even know who's here...how many people that wish America
harm do you think have already crossed?
They can come in on student visas. They don't cross the Mexican border!
3. rewarding people for breaking the law is *wrong*
Like '1' above.
4. many of these people aren't Americans because they don't *want* to be
Americans. They want to be Mexicans *living in* America. Rather than
clean up their own homeland, it's alot easier to simply cross the border
and get a better job here. To see them waving the Mexican flag and
demanding American rights is asinine and infuriating.
I feel the same, but I'm not sure that it matters. I don't know how many
such people are out there.
I also oppose amnesty, but it doesn't seem that amnesty is on the table
right now, so I'm not thinking about it much.
Mike
