44. I welcome immigrants who
come here legally. As for your post, which I admit is mostly reasonable with the glaring exception of your thinly veiled and inaccurate "Secondly, you may not welcome immigrants...", I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree. The guy who broke into my house in 2005 probably didn't have a lot of alternatives, but he still wasn't welcome.

I know immigration law is complicated, convoluted and quite frankly shitty - but that doesn't mean that we should be ignoring or excusing violating the law just because it's convenient. That's what Republicans do.

Lastly, it's not as if all illegals come from south of our border. Excuse Mexican lawbreakers all you like, but you act as if I'm sitting here saying "Yeah, let all the Chinese and Irish stay, but get rid of those damn Mexicans." Nothing could be further from the truth. I have no sympathy for any illegal, regardless of country of origin.
