#1 We are witnessing the Balkanization of America. We have given away our culture to PC and political greed. We don't need an immigration bill. We need to enforce the existing laws. If we started enforcing the existing laws and sending the law breakers to prison, we might see some of the illegals head back to Mexico. Controlling our borders ought to be a priority to stem the flow of illegals. This also gives us some measure of real security in the U.S. Our politicians need to "grow a set."

#2 One question: I had gotten the impression that this was a "concensus" bill, in that republicans and democrats had reached general agreement on its provisions. My question is: Whose concensus was being reached? According to the theory of elected representation the actions of our politicians are supposed to represent "the will of the people."

Whose "will", and whose "concensus" did the language of this immigration bill really reflect? With some 48% of Americans opposed to it, attempts to pass this certainly do not seem to represent "the will of the people." With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that this bill was a product of closed door bipartisan attempts to satisfy ulterior motives having nothing to do with what the American people actually want.

This legislative abortion was a naked ploy at republicans satisfying their big business patrons with cheap labor and democrats stuffing the ballot box with any sort of vote they could sneak under radar.

These politicians sought to totally bypass popular opinion and the public's welfare in a craven effort to realize motives that had nothing to do with this nation's security, well-being or future prosperity. This entire crop of penny-ante hustlers needs to be impeached or run out of office in the next elections.
