There are certain "rights" that everyone is entitled to, although our current administration is chipping away at those almost on a daily basis. But "rights" that are enjoyed by legal residents and citizens should not automatically be granted to illegal aliens. Their very presence in this country is a violation of the law. They shouldn't be surprised when they're treated like law-breakers...because they <EM>are.</EM> Just like the businesses and individuals who hire them.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-57283744266881954062007-12-30T16:04:00.000-07:002007-12-30T16:04:00.000-07:00I do have to say that when political correctness r...I do have to say that when political correctness runs amock, you get what we have here in Oregon: A sitting Governor who until recently, willingly allowed the DMV to give Drivers Licenses to undocumented, or illegal immigrants. Now what is right about that? And when told that was no longer going to be the case, they say that they will supposedly crush our economy if we take that "right" away from them. Hello, what right is that? Sorry, that touches a nerve with me. You want rights, come here legally, do it legally, then we will talk. I know that makes me not politically correct, but I have to live my life by the law, why shouldn't everyone who wants to be here?Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169738955846222411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-11976218825805462752007-12-30T15:28:00.000-07:002007-12-30T15:28:00.000-07:00Nathan, I think the rhetoric on both sides of this...Nathan, I think the rhetoric on <EM>both</EM> sides of this issue could use a little toning down. <BR/><BR/>Oh, I'm sorry.

The ones who are screaming about how illegal immigrants are sucking up social resources are the same ones who refuse to acknowledge that those same people would love the opportunity to live in the open, pay taxes and everything else that comes with citizenship. Bush's proposals on immigration policy are one of the only things he's rational about.<BR/><BR/>For a related topic, take a look at Making Light where they're talking about needing a passport to pass between the U.S. and Canada. Weren't we just applauding a couple of years ago when the E.U. declared most borders open?Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
