In Europe, most people speak 3 - 5 languages. I took French and Russian in High School. Would you be offended with those languages? Everyone has a right to speak other languages in our country.

They also want to provide "...support for America". Past versions of CIR and the current Gutierrez bill are the antithesis of "support for America". You cannot support America by weakening our border security; by ignoring the need for internal enforcement as an inherent part of border security. So what are they talking about when they advocate CIR and support for America. Sounds like an oxymoron.<br /><br />Our immigration system is broken only to the extent that it allows far more legal immigrants to come here and that it fails to enforce our borders against illegal entry. The backlog is not a symptom of a broken system. Rather it is a simple confirmation of the fact that more people (most of the third world and others) want to come here but if we allow it we will have destroyed the goose that laid the golden egg and assure a future America that is a shadow of itself. Why is this so hard to understand? What do these marchers think the ideal population of the United States should be? Where do they think the natural resources will come from for millions of new immigrants? Why do they equate immigration reform with support for America?<br /><br />In the end, it is not a question of whether we need immigration reform. The question is what kind of CIR, mine, your Gutierrez's, the kind illegals and potential immigrants want, or the kind that will save America from the abyss?ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.com
