US Chamber makes immigration overhaul top priority (2013, illegals, laws)

[All American NYC]

The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said Thursday that the "door to the American dream must always remain open" as he announced a broad coalition of business, labor, faith organizations, law enforcement and ethnic groups intent on overhauling the nation's immigration system....Donohue questioned the wisdom of training individuals "to have PhDs in organic chemistry" and then sending them back to their native country. He noted that there are a number of seasonal jobs in entertainment and agriculture....Republicans recognize the political drawbacks of a tough line on immigration, especially with growing Hispanic populations in Florida, California and Texas

What illegal is working in Organic chemistry?

When did the door to the American Dream close I would ask? We still allow in around 1 milion legal immigrants per year not to mention the family reunification catagory.

So the Republicans wanting our immigration laws respected and enforced is a hard line? Not wanting to reward immigration lawbreakers with amnesty when we have 23 million Americans out of work is a hard line? As I have often said before, if the Republicans are so foolish to think that caving into the ethnocentric type of Hispanics will gain them more of the Hispanic vote then they are really really stupid.

I guess the only 'American dream' that matters is the one that belongs to illegals.

So it seems the way things seem to be going their way, such a shame.
