It isn't fine with me that we're telling foreign nationals to ignore the legal standards for immigrating to the US, and 'W' didn't ask me
about it. I fully recognize that we're a country built on immigration, but there's some paper work we ask people to fill out at the door. If you don't like the process, then let's work to change it, but don't reduce the standards
based on unacceptable behavior and make breaking the law acceptable. War exists where there are no effective laws; chaos reigns where there is no order; and Americans lose their jobs where illegal immigration is permitted!

Bush on Illegals

Grip this, Tom Ridge
I read a poster once that said essentially we learn most of everything we
need to know while in kindergarten. Much of it important even as
adults. It's still a good idea to hold hands while crossing the street;
not stealing and generally obeying the rules. I'm more than a little
concerned that our society has forgotten the most fundamental of these rules.
Dennis Miller may have said it best, and I'm
paraphrasing, "We encourage immigrants to come to the US. Just sign
the guest book on your way in". He's exactly right, in a euphemistic
sort of way.
I really want to know who thinks we shouldn't have immigration
standards in this country, then enforce them. Not liking laws has never
been a good reason to break them. I know I'm not alone in thinking there's
a much closer relationship to 9-11 with border security than with Saddam's
Iraq. So where is there wiggle room? Obey the laws. If you
disagree with the laws, lobby to have them changed, but you have to obey the
laws or you're punished -- not rewarded.
No, Mr. Ridge, the country does not
need to "come to grips" with 12 million illegal immigrants and
"determine how you can legalize their presence." You got that
wrong! Immigrating to the United States without signing the guest book is
illegal and must not be rewarded.
