Green Cards for all?

This is cheap political disengenuous pandering by Bush . . . his specialty. He knows this is DOA in Congress, but it may fool a few Mexican-American citizens (is that the PC name for these days?) It's a scam. Plain and simple. And even if genuine, it's grossly unfair to all the other people in the world who want to come here but whose own countries don't border the U.S.

We don't need more immigration, we need a lot LESS. Cheap labor is driving wages down on the jobs less-advantaged AMERICANS need.

Between low wage immigrant labor and Corporate America shipping all those blue and now white collar jobs overseas to places such as China and India-we can look forward to the middle class of this country being in a "world of hurt"!

Ok guys some of you are very right others very wrong way.
I am dual citizen first reason most people of my country come over here is unemployment. I would never live here where you can't vote for president (it's right you can vote for electoral college let me remind you but not for president). As my country offers freedom what you also don't have here (one more time let me remind you some words and human body parts are just censored from my TV and whoever says bad things about BUSCH goes jail). But the government here in the past supported some 25 years of dictatorship over there and made some loans to the dictators ruling and now guess what the country besides being the second biggest fleet in the word just after USA second most connected on internet biggest chiken meat pproducersecond in beefsecond if more computers on their houses first on all digital comunications first on bank system and succesful surgeries recently UN award to have decreased HIV spreading in 15% but besides all this this country pays 92% of their gross income in interest for a debit people didn't make and USA lend this money at more than 20% apr and here you can get money as cheap as 10% or less if you don't have good credit. And people from there just come here because the national unemployment rate is 25% and reaches 30% in some cities.So my point is if we want to stop illegal immigration and our salaries and jobs to be trashing (and yes I vote) we should first vote in null to show them we dont want 2 parties rule we don't want electoral college and we want the freedom they always talk about on TV speaches. Freedom to choose what to see on TV, freedom to choose our president and freedom to be free of trash working with minimum working rules instead of government lying to people about invading somebodies country because of a dictator that was never a threat (yes whoever is able to read any other language and follow news on non manipulated media knows what I'm saying) while the real reason was steal oil to try to not bankrupt our country USA with 3 to 4 buks per gallon on gas prices (and yes one more time let's get the masks out of our eyes that is the real price of the gas if was not for government susidizing gas) or do you guys think USA still have gas for all of us and the rest of the word is overpricing their gas? We need to finish think USA is above all including GOD we gotta stop think we have gas forever and stop buying 3 to 5 cars per person here stop sell subisidized meat contaminated with mad cow for almost 50 dollars pound of filet mignon and buy from countries like the one I mentioned for 3 yes 3 dollars pound of filet mignon there and they have healthy cattle as there different from here cow only eats grass no hormons no genetically modified food and no cancer or deceases on the food and give this people some jobs and opportunities to stay in their countries instead to come over here risking even their lifes.
Sorry about being long but this is really a long issue and we cannot be egoists.

Re: The big picture

Once you have a third-world population, you will soon have a third-world country. And unlike cities or skyscrapers, genotypes can't be rebuilt. It becomes more and more apparent that the system has irretrievably broken down...
Peace out!!

I think you have some balls to state the politically incorrect. I agree 100%. Immigration is not going to change the face of this country too much as long you get a good mix of immigrants who came here to adopt, assimilate, and add. But this is no longer true. If you look around immigration boards you will see that the majority of people come from Asia, or India and South America. USA bashing is at all time highest. They don't like the way things are here. They came to change everything and refuse to even try to change themselves. And they will succeed because those nations have a characteristic of mass breeding. A great recipe for 3rd world.

It is already sad that there are parts of this country where you can't buy a coke if you don't speak 2 languages at least. Why? Not because the guy behind the counter can't speak English but because he refuses to. The English test on the citizenship interview is a joke. How can you give someone a USA passport who is not willing to learn English? WTF is going on?

Don't take me wrong I have no problem with any race or color in specific. My best friends in college were Indians. Most of them were on the Dean's list. Smart fellows. The mass importation then the mass breeding of specific cultures is what I don't like.

After all I did not come to this country to raise the Hungarian flag. But I am afraid in 20-30 years this country will be very different.

Anybody ever been to Miami? I lived there for a year and was told on several occasions by the northern cubans there "you live in Miami, you need to speak spanish now". I moved when the whole Elian Gonzales thing happened and I saw masses of people around the city waving Cuban...read...communist flags. We are gonna be in serious hurt if the whole country becomes like this example. Oh, you're in "our" part of the country now. That's about as "un-American" as I can imagine.
