You would lke to think that CI and I are in the minority. If that is so why are there towns in the US beginning to take measures against these illegals.
I am sure that everyone on this forum knows that you support the illegals and have no regard for the laws of this nation that you do not agree with. I suppose I must be thankfull that you agree with the laws concerning murder or you would be championing killing in the streets.
Likewise other towns are choosing to be sanctuary cities.
I am a bit annoyed that you insist on pretending that most Americans agree with you. If that were true, Americans have had more than enough chance to elect officials that don't (as you say) "have no regard for the laws of this nation that they don't agree with".
The fact is that most Americans, although they don't support open borders, most Americans do support something that includes a path to citizenship for people here. Most Americans also understand that this is a complex issue that involves real people who warrant compassion.
Most Americans don't believe we are being invaded.
Most Americans say this in polls.
Many Americans also had the opportunity to choose between Congress candidates who want harsh treatment of "illegals" and those who support a compassionate comprehensive solution.
Millions of Americans voted for elected officials who support a compassionate solution-- and because of this, such a solution (written and supported by Americans) may pass the legislative process.
If most Americans agreed with you, the harsh House Bill would have passed last year... and the anti-immigrant candidates for Congress (many of him used anti-immigrant rhetoric as a key of their campaign) would have prevailed.
I am also thankful that we are a nation of laws-- and that through a democratic process we can fix laws that are badly broken. If we can get past the attempts of hardliners such as yourself to block a law that most Americans support that is being formulated by officials that Americans elected, we will have a solution that is compassionate and provides a more order path for immigration.
This will be good for immigrants, and will also be good for businesses who depend on a reliable workforce.
