Americans and the "immigration debate"

[KevinTheOmnivore]

kahl, a lot of these people are undocumented immigrants who had temporary VISAS that expired. A lot of them are young men and women who may have been born in Mexico, but who have essentially lived in America all of their lives. They might go to school, college, and even have their own business.

And the fact that you think the walkouts had no effect and were stupid shows that you're a bit uninformed on the matter. Half a million people marching on LA sends a message. Walkouts and protests all across the country, those like we haven't seen since the 60's, send a message. If you want to know why at least three different pieces of immigration reform legislation are now moving through Congress, look to the statement that hasbeen made by these people.

Americans and Canadians cross over the border all of the time in places like Wisconsin and Michigan. Where's the "terrorism" concern there?

We need to control our borders, and we need to fix our laws. But t blame the people who have come here and been supported here would be hypocritical, imo.
