Americans and the "immigration debate"

[kahljorn]

"And the fact that you think the walkouts had no effect and were stupid shows that you're a bit uninformed on the matter."

Where did I say that? Sure, I said they were stupid shows and they were. What else are highschool students interested in? However, you're saying that to a person who constantly says everything every person does effects everything. I say that all the damn time.

I don't really even know if your post was directed at me, because like I said, I don't agree with making it a felony. I just think their approach was ridiculous, especially the ideas they hold in their minds about it.

THIS IS MY INITIAL STATEMENT ON THE MATTER:
"The only thing i don't get about this is how stupid the people really are when it comes to the issue of immigration"
Okay?

"a lot of these people are undocumented immigrants who had temporary VISAS that expired. "

Can't they reapply?

"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. "

Can't they apply? I'm pretty sure the fact that they work and live here successfully and contribute to america would probably show that they would make good citizens.

Did you even read my post?

"Where's the "terrorism" concern there?"

Well, hypothetically I think canada might have better controlled borders, customs and other laws that would make it safer and less likely that a terrorist would cross there. Really the terrorist concern was more of a, "What if" type thing, and i think making illegal immigracy a felony might give them a bit more leeway into finding information on suspected terrorists who come here illegally. Again, all that is hypothetical, all I really care about is the fact that the people protesting are protesting for stupid reasons. I don't really care if you're right about something if your approach and reasons for doing so are ridiculously stupid and ill-informed.
Does this bill deal only with illegal immigracy from mexico? That's what I want to know. Doesn't it deal with ALL illegal immigration?

I'm going to start italicizing things i think are important because people seem to have problems understanding me.

P.S. Can you at least answer some of the questions I posed, because some of them I'm not sure of the validity. Also, do you mind telling me what you think of the points? Thanks.
