Anyone paying attention to the immigration debate in Wsahington this week?

[Mike AI]

I am pro immigration, but it should be orderly and documented. This protects the country and the immigrants. There should be no amnesty - people should not be rewarded for breaking the law.

We need to clamp down on boarders to prevent illegal immigration, set up a modern system for legal immigration and guest workers and we should also be recruiting immigrants with Master Degrees and PhDs, especially in the hard sciences.

I do not understand why this is even an issue - just like everything this is a legacy we get from past politicans who refuse to handle issues head on and just put temp fixes to push the problem back years for the next generation of politicians to deal with.

The problem is none have the courage to do the right thing, so they keep pushing problems like this off until we have a catasrophe - then normally we have a backlash from going to far the other way.

Very frustrating. I hate all politicians!

Like the guy said on the daily show last night. The guest worker progams is how the French are trying to handle the immigrant problem and look at how well it is working for them. We do immigration better than anyone else in the world does or ever has, why would we look to the Fench as an example of how to solve this.

you have a valid point and yes i understand it needs to be done if done right.

you have a good idea of what the system should do i just hope the ones passing the law can do it like what you expressed here.
