What does Lou Dobbs have to say about it?

He is the big self proclaimed decider on who is good (white) enough to be an American. I 'm going to listen to his show, oh they are saying people who came here 'legally'. Who was that?

Lou, who came here legally? Which group was that?

It's getting really boring hearing the same repetitive asinine bullshit.

"We are all illegal aliens"

No, I'm not. I was fucking born here.

"Your ancestors were illegal aliens"

Yeah? So? That isn't relevent today.

Ok, now that we've dispensed with the superfluous bullshit, perhaps we should focuse on the important things?

Like maybe, oh, I dunno, fixing the immigration process so that people can enter legally in a reasonable amount of time?

Legal immigrants are this country's greatest resource, and has been for over 200 years. The problem is that it takes a rediculous amount of time to get in.

Lets fix the problem.

FYI, there were absolutely NO requirements for immigration to the United States from anywhere until long after the US Civil War. Immigration restrictions really got "hot" starting in 1924. Look it up!
