Grassroots on FIRE!
for your perusal and edification:
To: President George W. Bush, Honorable Members of Congress.
As a concerned citizen, I believe illegal immigration is a national security crisis of the highest order and also poses a long-term threat to the American way of life. I am calling on Congress and the President to:
#1—Secure our borders. As first priority, America must stop the flow of illegal immigration by investing all necessary resources in securing our borders. Also, existing immigration laws must be enforced as an essential component of our Homeland Security.
#2—No Amnesty. I oppose any form of amnesty for illegal aliens, including the “temporary worker” proposal or any proposals that grant legal residency status or citizenship to illegal aliens.
(Check each issue that you support)
Aggressive deportation. Immediate investment in aggressive effort to deport the 12 million illegal immigrants currently within our borders – if you’re caught, you are sent back.No benefits. Erect a wall of separation between illegal aliens (and their children) and tax-dollar paid benefits reserved for U.S. citizens and legal aliens. I support H.R. 418 that prohibits illegal aliens from being issued drivers licenses and prevents terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States.
No work. Stricter punishment of U.S. businesses that knowingly employ illegal aliens. Establish national database of legal immigrants to assist both public and private sectors in this effort.
English first. Legislation that establishes English as the required and preeminent language throughout the United States. Public and private sectors cannot be required to provide services in alternative languages.
No Birthright Citizenship. Illegals flood to the U.S. simply to have babies—which are then granted citizenship. Changing the current law is certain to curtail the illegal traffic.

For the dumbest comment on the issue of illegal immigration, one can’t beat Tony Snow’s equating it to a traffic violation:

According to Captain Ed (who only offers a broken link as evidence), however, the administration has been listening to us, and that’s why they urged the senate to pass this drivel they call immigration reform:

I’m not a learned gal, so I ask for the hundreth time… Why do we not get to vote on something that will effect our country so deeply?

Pam—I think it has something to do with the utter contempt in which they hold US the American citizen. When do *I* get to pick the best 3 outta 5 years and pay taxes only on those? With no verification.
