What should be done about illegal immigration?

a) You want as many illegals to move here as want to move here

You are making statements that indicate you are not compassionate.

You want to punish people I care about by insisting on uprooting their lives. You want to give spouses the choice of either leaving lives and careers or breaking up their families. You want to pull kids from school and send kids who have grown up here and are Americans in every way except a sheet of paper to what is to them a foreign country.

You are willing to do these things because either they or their parents broke the law by crossing a border or overstaying a visa. Even though you accept that when Americans break the law, it is sometimes a good thing to offer compassion and understanding.

We are not talking about people in Darfor (although I would love to be able to help). We are talking about people who are living with us and working for us.

But the Senate Bill is offering the border security.

If you care about border security then you will support the Senate bill. If you care about punishing people who you resent being here you will support blocking it.

b) You don't want the government to do anything to stop them or do anything but welcome them with open arms when they come

c) You don't mind that hard working people who have played by the rules all their lives are, against their choice, having to support many of the illegals who get here

d) You don't mind that hospitals close emergency room and deny everybody emergency care because they can no longer afford to provide free services for so many

e) You don't care that all students suffer from so many special needs kids who can't speak any English being admitted to the schools to receive a free education

f) You don't care that 40 to 60% of the prison populations of the border states are made up of illegals who have committed serious crimes

g) You don't care if a few terrorists slip across the border along with ordinary people

Where does the above indicate what you conclude as being a logic of it, Foxfyre?

f) You don't care that 40 to 60% of the prison populations of the border states are made up of illegals who have committed serious crimes

h) You don't mind if a few more tons of illegal drugs are brought into the country and peddled to your kids

If we use your logic eBrown we will have to conclude:
k) You don't care that those who have played by the rules to immigrate legally are punished while illegal activity is rewarded.

j) You don't care if the United States becomes just another overpopulated, under resourced third world country unable to take care of its own people, much less able to help out others in time of need.

i) It's okay with you that wages are artificially depressed in industries where large numbers of illegals are working
