in who wants to come here; I never said that, and I never said YOU, JMF, are a bigot. The bigotry that offended me was from the OP ( I said that in my second post). But the question remains, what do you do with the ones that are already here? There are LOTS of jobs "Caucasian" Americans REFUSE to do. How do you address that? But my MAIN point is that the venom from the OP is directed at the WRONG people. In general, immigrants (legal or otherwise) are here for the same reason most of our ancestors (unless brought in chains) came...for a better life. Further, the 911 terrorists came here legally and had all their "papers" in order and what upstanding citizens they turned out to be (just a little dark humor)! Again, there are no easy answers; I acknowledged that before as well. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones...if the ethnic cleansers tell me to "go home", I get to tell them in two languages and a hand gesture that I already am and have been, Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty or not. Too bad most people think I'm Italian.
