ORIGINAL: cloudboy The fact is far-right Republicans have blocked all real attempts at immigration reform. Better to spend $18 Billion a year on militarizing the border, deportations, and incarceration than to save money and spur economic growth through reform. Cloudboy, who wants to "reform" immigration? EVERYONE knows that's a code word for "amnesty" or,..(ahem) a .....(drumroll) "Pathway to U.S. Citizenship." And just *When* are they going to "Militarize" the border? No Tanks, Troops and Landmines there yet like in S. Korea. Hell, if they do I'll call my congressman and tell him; "give them $30 million to Militarize the border!" Yes, Deportations, lots of them! That's what we're paying the employees in our govt. to do! "Spur",...."economic growth through reform?" Oh yeah, just what every business needs, a bunch of people who can't speak English, may have "up to " a 6 th grade education and, who we *can't possibly run background checks on* because their native countries don't even keep birth records! And of course NONE of them will ever try to get on our social welfare systems, right? Look in the "help wanted ads" of your local newspaper, do you see thousands of factory jobs paying $30-$40 an hour? Oh yeah, President Snow is; "focused like a lazer on the economy." Right?
