Didn't they pass the HR bill? Or is it in the Senate. I'm confused...

We are picking and choosing who we want in the country illegally. Broad stroke generalizations aside, we all know who we are talking about: Latinos--especially the folks who run the border are the folks we want out of the US... And I think that's stupid. Whereas, to put it bluntly, we ain't saying the same thing about the tons of Asians in this country--who are probably here just as illegally--who may just have better bootlegging equipment, more money to buy off politicians, and better "systems" to become legal immigrants, i.e. green card holders.

I work with numerous folks from various ethnic groups from all over the world. All I can say is this law sets bad precedent because it cannot and will not be applied equally to EVERYONE WHO IS IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY... It will be racial profiling and just by hypocrisy alone, we are selling out to the highest bidder for this "global economy".

Earpman has it right--the Middle Class is getting jacked all in between...

And yeah, wrong is wrong, illegal is illegal. But black is not white as cut and dry as you all wanna make it. Summa y'all's ancestors ought not be here based on that logic... You all gonna go back to your "country of origin" based on that kinna thinking? Even if your ancestors fought for the US, just like some "illegal aliens" are now in Iraq? What about them and their families? Oh, yeah, our military does send folks who are not citizens of this country off to war--been done for a long time... And some of our citizens fight for Osama Bin Laden... What does that say?
