Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
I have been against the illegal immigration position of Bush and the dems since the beginning.
This is entirely about profits for business, not genuinely about human rights.
If we really cared about these people, we would put pressure on Mexico to solve their own problems. I don't mind foreign aid to help people if it is spent wisely and properly (fat chance in Mexico) but there is no rationalization for illegal aliens and illegal immigrants getting amnesty in any manner.
Send them all back home, tighten up the border, then if we want a liberal policy of documented resident aliens, or "guest workers" because we need their labor, fine.
I also oppose the anchor baby situation, or anchor family situations.
Again, bottom line this is about money, not human rights.
I think many repubs are afraid with Bush's support the bill is going to pass, and they don't want to be on the wrong side of the bill. Everyone is pandering to the Latino vote, because they are the fastest growing segment of the population...
I don't even want to go into how much the illegal situation harms California.
