[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, no.

No one is going to all for this narrative we need this bill in order to survive. The immigration bill of the 1990's touted by Mr. Schumer didn't do what it was expected to do.

The border patrol is capturing illegals and requesting them to come to a court hearing at a specific date due to sequestration. Do you think they showed up? Each illegal caught costs $300 And 3 hours to process. You think they are gonna pay taxes when we had to encourage Charlie Rangel and Tim Geithner to?

We can't afford it and can't handle the consistent flow over both the Northern and Southern borders now. You don't have to be an investigator  to find H1-B visa abuses using the online databases.

Call me and my position dumb all you want but, we need to focus on taking care of those we have already enveloped in our care before we can add more -- for now.

Don't get me wrong...... I believe it is indefensible to give 11 million illegals the right of residence. My point was to address the belief by some Republicans who support legalizing them because they feel that not to do so would alienate the Hispanic constituency. If the Civil Rights legislation is any guide, all it will do is to cause Hispanics to believe, correctly, that if it had not been for the support of the Democrats, it would not have happened. In the process, Democrats will consolidate their support among the Hispanics. The Republicans who support immigration reform will merely be facilitators in passing the legislation.

At least with African Americans and civil rights legislation, it was the right and moral thing to do. There is no moral equivalence when it comes to illegals who broke the law when they entered the country and now feel they have the right to be legitimized.[/quote]
