I tend to agree with most people here. I had this argument with my sister the other day. She accused me of being a biggot because she failed to realize that the controversy was about ILLEGAL immagrantion and not immgration as a whole. I'm all for immigration...it's just when people come here illegally, I see a problem.

If those who immigrate here feel the red tape one has to go through to become a legal citizen is too thick, then by all means, work on a way to reform them by the political process (without taking away from the purpose of a citizenship process). But to simply grant all illegals here citizenship is not only a slap in the face to those who've gone through the legal process but seems intellectually lazy to me.

I respect the right to protest...It seems only right to protest when you feel you are being short-sided. But illegal immigrants protesting seems ironic to me: people who are not paying taxes into the system are protesting so that they can reap the benefits of that system

I'm also tired of having illegal immigration issues tied to those of the African American community. My ancestors did not immigrate here....they had little choice in the matter. Although I sympathize with any group of people trying to make a better life for themselves, I believe they should do it within the legal system.
