>>>Well duh, how can you expect us to like the traitors like McCain and Hagel. Hagel is the one who forced the INS to stop rounding up the illegal aliens who were working in the meatpacking industry.

>>You got to be kidding. Is that why he is the 'traitor' ?
>>Wld he be national hero if he encouraged employers to deport them rather then paying their delayed wages ?

>>But who knows maybe he is, because after all outsourceable jobs are finaly outsourced, lucrative career in meatpacking factory might become apealing to much more 'legal' Americans then it is right now.

>Let me get this straight, you think we should allow people to enter our country illegally? How does you contry feel about that? Do you have an open border?


John, this is a nation of immigrants, like it or not. Unless we're Native American, we all came here from someplace else. We came here for freedom and economic betterment, not necessarily in that order. It's ugly trying to pull up the drawbridge behind us.

I understand where you're coming from about legal vs. illegal immigrants. But put yourself in the shoes for a moment of some guy who just wants the best for his family and for whatever reason is not able to become a legal U.S. citizen. He's supposed to just forget about what's best for his family? We both know that's not reality.

That's to say nothing of the logistics of mass deportation. Remember Elian Gonzalez? And he was just one kid. Now multiply by 11 million.
