No people have ever taken over a country or annexed its territory by being purely sub-working-class laborers. <BR/><BR/>The correlation between any poll that you might find about what Mexicans think and the reality we live in is spurious at best.Jon a.k.a.

Why do we wink at such huge numbers of illegals while making honest legal immigrants jump through so many hoops? Instead of 11 million criminals wouldn't we be better off with 8 million content future citizens? Also why should 90 percent of our immigrants come from one nation? Are Africa, Asia and Europe empty? How about recruiting Aussies?

Dems should not be saying the word "immigration," and the phrase "illegal immigration" should earn the Dem speaker a hypo-dart in the neck and a ride in the capture net...<BR/><BR/>This is about "workers rights," "protecting families" and "promoting fairness." <BR/><BR/>The GOP is already on tilt on this issue. Really, this is low hanging fruit for us, we should be swatting this one out of the park on a frozen rope...<BR/><BR/>mojo sendsvan.mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019881255099876907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074844.post-1144596967571057152006-04-09T11:36:00.000-04:002006-04-09T11:36:00.000-04:00Salty old...Your opinion on immigration policy has...Salty old...<BR/><BR/>Your opinion on immigration policy has its merits and demerts (like most any policy).<BR/><BR/>And that leads up to the point of this blog -- the point that most Democrats really just can't wrap their heads around:<BR/><BR/>A politician's opinion on policy at the national level will no longer get you elected. It's your opinion on what you believe is right (independent on how you plan on getting there) that matters.<BR/><BR/>The point of OKR is not to espouse policy options -- it's to bring contemporary issues to a poignant point that Democrats and Independents can all get behind.<BR/><BR/>As soon as you start talking about identity cards and other ways to solve problems, you're instantly alienating a constituency or two of your coalition.<BR/><BR/>This is why people like Bush "win" in national elections. People like what he believes in (freedom, liberty, democracy, security). And they mostly just trust that he'll do his best to move the country towards his beliefs.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that incompetence and corruption are not things that Democrats are good at raising as issues in elections. In light of this, Democrats need to begin talking about beliefs, not policies.<BR/><BR/>Signing out,<BR/>JonJon a.k.a.

But...You're right - there's a range of issues here. But I'm a card carrying democrat who finds herself agreeing often with republicans on this. Illegal immigration is one of the things that has dissolved our unions, and keeps our poor poorer. And whenever George Bush pushes a program, you can be sure the rich are the primary beneficiaries. <BR/><BR/>So, what should we do? We need an IDENTITY PROTECTION card, voluntary and hard to get without real proof, with fingerprints and pictures. This helps the legal immigrants and residents with green cards, and does a lot to protect the rest of us. Identity theft is a growing crime. This card makes it possible to enforce sanctions against employers, eases border travel (this card is so good it acts as a flash pass) so border commerce can continue to thrive. <BR/><BR/>The US doesn't need to apologize for limiting illegal immigration - We accept more legal immigrants every year than all of Europe combined. That number can handle all our labor needs and then some. We welcome immigrants, we just want everybody to use the front door. And we don't need another Russian mafia sneaking in because we're compassionate. Just because we have soft hearts doesn't mean we have soft heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
