That's what pisses me off hearing people bitch about immigrants in today's world. All these people bitching seem to have forgotten how they came to be here.

I really could care less about the guys standing at home depot waiting for jobs to cut grass when we have real issues like the middle east to deal with.

This whole immigration thing was designed to distract and take the heat off the Iraq war dissatisfaction and everyone knows it.

that was then, this is now. women were considered and treated as property then. when you see women being treated in such a way now, do you think its ok because thats how it was way back when? it was a completely different time and a completely different situation. america should forever be ashamed of how they slaughtered the native culture and people but it doesn't mean they have to allow in anyone just because anyone could get in at one time.

you don't care about the jobs that illegal immigrants take because it doesn't effect you but it does effect someone. what about the labourers who rely on construction jobs but can't compete with the wages illegal immigrants are willing to work for? you make a good point thought about it being used as a distraction from the war. thats a classic republican move. i totally agree with that.
