This has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen. Do you know where drugs come from? From Mexico. Did you know that while the border remains as open as it is, that smugglers will smuggle just about anything in this country if the price is right(firearms, explosives, etc). Did you know that having lots of "undocumented" people coming into a country increases its risk of having an outbreak from disease? That is why the US prefers to control who comes in and gives them a thorough check before letting them in. It sounds to me that these are problems we will have to worry about unless we got our act together.
The US performs medical and background checks on those that come in legally. This eliminates the risk of an epidemic occuring and dramatically reduces the risk that one of these immigrants will become criminals. My wife went through the entire process. It truly pisses me off that some think they can get a free pass. Now that the US proposed a potential reform which involved illegals paying fees for the chance to become legal, they are whining about it. Those that did the process legally had to pay fees and waited in line. Those who broke the law should have to pay more for their "express" service. My brother-in-law just attained legal resident status and it costed him a few years of waiting and thousands of dollars. Illegals want to become legal and pay much much less than those who did the process legally. That is BS.

"I say give the immigration issue a rest....least of my problems. I suggest we focus on the real and pressing issues facing our nation...terrorism, drugs, outsourcing of jobs, taxes, inner city decay and crime, homelessness, government and corporate corruption, AIDs, public "education" "
