America was built on immigration, remember. How is it unamerican to be in favor of expansive, liberal immigration policy? And note, when you say "shouldn't all americans have this agenda" you are directly implying that it's unamerican not to.

So let's hear it, how is closed borders so OBVIOUSLY and quintessentially American?

We are a sovereign nation. Did you forget that part? We have an immigration policy in this country. Use it.

Read his actual question. This is not even resembling an actual answer.

I think many more Americans will agree with you. How do you propose going about this situation, when even those in Power who could do something aobut it, oddly stand by on the side lines?

I guess I should have added that we already have the most expansive liberal immigration policy in the world? Is that better?

You think this answers the question of why closed borders are obviously and quintessentially American?

Don't ya just love the spin and lies of the pro-illegals? Who is advocating for "closed borders"? Why should we increase our quotas for legal immigration when our economy is in the tank and jobs are scarce? Our population is growing by leaps and bounds. We have to create 200,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with our population growth. Energy prices are high, food prices are high, our schools are overcroweded, there is gridlock on our highways. I have to wait a month to 6 weeks just to see my doctor for the basics. Our clinics and hospitals and ER's are overwhelmed with people. I wish the pro-illegals would get a grip on reality. I guess we are supposed to be the answer for the whole world's needy by importing them into our country. Yeah, let's kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

Oh that's right, there are some American citizens who, for whatever odd reason, actually support illegal alien lawbreakers and criminals. Hmm, I wonder if these American citizens also support American lawbreakers and criminals?

Agreed Chicagonut. How can you even have a conversation with them when they can't see the obvious. It's like a petulant child that continually cries "Why not mommy, why not? I only have three puppies that I don't take care of, I only want one more".

Why illegal aliens are ILLEGAL is cause we would have almost teh whole word trying to come here. NO THANKS!

Mexico dont like illegals aliens, hell they treat people from Guatemala like dirt. Guatemala WAS part of Mexico after Spain was booted out.

Do you think all crimes are equally bad just by virtue of some guy saying "this is hereby declared a crime"?
