I've been fairly silent on this issue, given my status in the U.S. as an immigrant. The thing is, though, I followed the rules. I filled out every form, crossed every "T", dotted every "I". As it turns out, I shouldn't have bothered: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19221467/.
If it makes me a racist or "nativist" to say that it is wrong that people who broke the law and didn't follow the rules should not receive the same treatment as me, so be it. Actually, if you look at what the President and Congress are preparing to force down our throats, the illegal immigrants (don't give me this crap about them being "undocumented residents". That's just so much PC gobbledygook) will actually get a better deal than I am ever going to receive.
What I can't fathom is that this bill has such bipartisan support despite being opposed by a majority of Americans. Then again, Victor Davis Hanson has it right. You have the Dems salivating over the prospect of millions of potential new voters, and the Repub elites joyously contemplating keeping that pool of cheap labour: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/06/who_is_illiberal_on_immigratio.html. More on the same subject from the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan: http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110010210.
That's just bogus.............
