| Fred Thompson on the Immigration Bill | |
| 2007-05-18 | |
... today released the following statement regarding the immigration bill currently pending in the United States Senate: “With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security. We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway.” | |

| #5 point system Say, youre a programmer. Now we're going to let in the Indians who do what you do, thus capping your salary, but we're going to keep out the folks who serve you at McDonalds, who clean your toilet, and who generally make it possible for you to live well on your salary. Im not saying I dont see the logic to it, I am saying its not going to be uncontroversial. |

| #4 I figure if head for Manhattan now I can get work tax free until the Democrats give me a US passport and a free house. Green Card lotteries are for punks. |

| #3 I support that option. Secure the borders first, then deal with the ones that got in. You give a pass to the ones inside, more will come in to take advantage of government stupidity. |

| #2 I like the points system aspect of it. It will help repel some of the rif-raf that we have been letting into the country for years. It won't stop the mexicans, but it may curb somalis or pakis that come here to sponge. |

| #1 Convince me with action. Start with the fence and support our border patrol. What big money is backing this POS? Our elected officials seem to be following a different drummer here. They sure aren't listening to us. I'm going to bed with a horrible headache over this, I'd like to think it's all a bad dream. |
