[amor102279]

nice usernames tells me alot about you. Its people like you that make me so upset at what we call Land of the free. I wonder how you would feel if this directly impacted you someone that you love. Told one day that you are going to have to do without your spouse for a year and just to deal with it. Tell your kids that there parent has to leave and you cant explain why. I agree that the ones that are causing harm should leave but the ones that are doing good and trying to make a life for there family should not have to seperate. I was born and rasied here and cant believe that our country would agree to seperate families for this. What would you do if he had no means of making any kind of help, no government help. WOULD YOU LET YOUR FAMILY DIE. didnt think so. So before you preach see what families have to go through to be here. I pry that GOD gets all that hate out of your heart so that you can see what this country is doing to good people

Law and reality are two different things. Sometimes are opposite. Law can be behind reality or be ahead, it depends of how and who is creating laws. Issues are a lot: gay marriage is one, immigration reform is another. Society has to work, and society has a lot of problems we are not living at heaven or paradise, so we have to solve problems in our lifetime. The traditional concept of law has to change to become law more realistic and adapted to the new society. So what do you want from law? to be behind or to be ahead?. If you choose the law to be behind, you have to deal with the social problem sometime in the future but the problem maybe will be bigger; if you choose the law to be ahead many social issues can be solved and law and society can match perfectly and work together. Obviously ethics and moral are the limit to do this, but It's not ethic to help others? It's not ethic to help another human being who has not committed any crime against society? Off course it's is ethic!!!

I think before you talk about something, go back to your family history, and ask your parents or grand parents how they came to this country, i am sure their situation was worse, but one day the law gave them the opportunity to become citizen , that's why you are having a lifestyle that your family had dreamed for you, if they did not have that opportunity , you would be born and live miserable in other country, but that is not your fault, you ancestor should explain this to you , if you are immigrant you don't live your country your family your friends to play in another country, you came to succeed and help that country to do so. sometimes you just need the opportunity, like you had, so think and learn before talk.... this is a country of immigrants, go to your history books and see it...

I prefer we grant citizenship based on loyalty to the American Constitution, our flag, customs and traditions. Sometings President AKA missed in his upbringing. We don't grant citizenship based on wealth, inteligence, or work ethic. Matter of fact there's a few million people in the USA, who should lose their nationality, and be exported. Our immigration laws are in place to keep the sick, illiterate, poor, and criminals out for a reason. We have a health care problem; we have poor people; we see illiterates pass through our schools; and our jails and prisons are full. Seal the border, using military forces, regardless of how Her Majesty Mexico feels. Place a moratorium on immigration from Mexico. Follow 50US21 and proclaim Mexico, an unfriendly nation, and demand all citizens of Mexico to leave the USA. Call a DRAFT if you need any help, but I doubt you'll need to.

I see the obvious flaw in the way President AKA views the issue and from what perspective his viewpoint comes from, by his referring to the object of the problem as "illegal workers" and "undocumented workers". To me this hints of a Communist perspective, which will lead to a declaration that "good workers deserve to be American citizens". In other words, if you work for the nation, then you deserve citizenship. This also echoes a viewpoint from the illegal aliens and Reconquista that "the land belongs to those who get their hands dirty by working in the fields." I find it disturbing that a person who was qualified by his party, and the Congress to run for the office of President, and elected by a majority of the American people would hold Communist beliefs. These people the President calls "workers" are -- by their actions of being in this country in violation of laws regulating entry -- invaders not immigrants. As invaders our Constitution and laws apply in a separate manner than if they were "immigrants". As invaders military action applies to their removal, and where a conspiracy prevents enforcement of the Constitution, military action includes deployment of the militias, to insure all laws are enforced, per Article Two. Any action by a standing President or elected government to grant amnesty to invaders is a violation of the oath of office and a declaration of civil war.
