Thread: Republican versus Democratic positions on immigration

The Republican National Committee agenda on immigration is centered around President Bush's Guest Worker proposal. It has some controversial statements like: "Current immigration law hinders companies from finding willing workers."

However surprisingly the Democratic National Committee didn't have a statement or proposal on immigration. The media keeps repeating that Republicans are deeply divided on immigration, however it seems it's the Democrats that are the most divided.

The Republican agenda on immigration:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
America is a welcoming nation, and the hard work and strength of our immigrants have made our Nation prosperous. Many immigrants and sons and daughters of immigrants have joined the military to help safeguard the liberty of America. Illegal immigration, however, creates an underclass of workers, afraid and vulnerable to exploitation.

Current immigration law hinders companies from finding willing workers. Without harming the economic security of Americans, the administration plans to reform our Nation's immigration laws to create a system that is fairer, more consistent, and more compassionate.

President Bush has proposed a new temporary worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing U.S. employers when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs. The program would be open to new foreign workers, and to the undocumented men and women currently employed in the U.S. This new program would allow workers who currently hold jobs to come out of hiding and participate legally in America's economy while not encouraging further illegal behavior.

President Bush also asked Congress to work with him to achieve significant immigration reform that:

* Protects the homeland by controlling the borders.
* Serves America's economy by matching a willing worker with a willing employer.
* Promotes compassion for unprotected workers.
* Provides incentives for temporary workers to return to their home countries and families.
* Protects the rights of legal immigrants while not unfairly rewarding those who came here unlawfully or hope to do so.

This legislation must also meet the Nation’s economic needs and live up to the promise and values of America.

I can not stomach one more time any statement that says "America is a Welcoming Nation".

We are not. We have never been.

Now get these illegal aliens out of here, N O W!

We don't want their "contribution", We don't want their "labor", We don't want their "work".

We want them O U T!!

If the President wants a Guest Worker Program, then he can resign and relocate to a country that has one.

The USA doesn't have one and we don't have one.

Furthermore, We are no longer interested in what he thinks.

Many of US want him IMPEACHED!

And believe me as each day passes on this "immigration reform debate" that no one wants but illegal aliens, their well-paid tax payer funded "advocates" and the Traitors that created this situation to begin with by abandoning our laws and selling out American Citizens against their Will.

I can not bear to listen to one more "immigrant" speak on TEE VEE. I can not bear to look at them anymore. Because all I can think of is the sneaking, cheating people they represent. The burdens on the American People of these additional "needy" people bringing low wages and high cost children to our country compete with American Citizens in violation of our laws for American Jobs, American Medical Care, American Benefits, American Education that took Americans 230 years to develop.

NO NO NO NO NO!!

We will not because we can not tolerate these people in our country any longer. They must leave and take all their children including American Citizens born to here illegally with them.

Enough is enough. We've had it, we've "had_enuf", we're "fed_up"; we're AmericansFirst; we're ready and committed to GOAMERICA!

If you don't listen and execute our will, you will no longer serve US as elected or appointed representatives of the American People.

We're done with illegal immigration and We're done with all those who have created and promoted and advocated this outrageous disaster for the American People.

Hear US Roar!!

ARRRRRRRGH!
