Hi, I really don’t agree that I’m being raped or pillaged. I feel very fortunate to have been born in a country that values all men as equals. Including our brothers from south of the border. In California they pay the same sales tax that I do. If they can possibly earn enough money, they pay income tax. They work for almost slave wages, and yet, they will do it because the place of their birth allows them no future. Where do you think Jesus would stand on this issue?

Jeesh, my apologies… I read MW’s comment and used his initials instead of yours, GN. A classic example of rage diminished eyesight!

MW, as a lifelong, loyal Republican and Conservative, I totally concur with your well made points here. In fact, I am collecting a list of others who feel similarly for an update to my post. Linking to your excellent story here just became an essential component. Many thanks.

Tom,
I don’t think it’s correct about voting rights – I certainly don’t see anything in the text which suggests anything like that. In order to vote, you still need to be a citizen. If that changes, I’d certainly like to know about it…

By the way, the process in the bill doesn’t get illegal immigrants to citizenship in any way soon – for non-preferred groups the I-140 procedure is still going to take forever, and that only gets you (eventually) to a green card. Getting to citizenship is still going to take a minimum of six or seven years, even with this shortcut, and probably longer.

The thing it now provides for is unrestricted employment authorization and unrestricted travel to and from the US right away, while you’re waiting. You really have to have been through at least some of the process by the legal route to understand what a big deal that is.

“Illegals” are already voting in some areas of the country. The link in this post is to a story from San Antonio titled “Hundreds of Non Citizens Have Registered to Vote in Bexar County” in which it was reported that at least 42 of them actually voted. I know here in Maryland they are REALLY pushing voter registration among the illegals who can get drivers licenses with only a “self certification” form (as opposed to a birth certificate, out of state license, passport, and numerous other forms of ID required of legal citizens). Takoma Park, MD already lets illegals vote in local elections.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that politicians see this massive new group as a tantalizing block of new voters whether it’s in this bill or not. Believe me, they will be granted voting rights. –GN
