Thanks for the heads-up. Am watching this on C-SPAN now.

can be hell in our capitalistic society, especially cruel to poor people.

took place with unfettered or wide-open immigration policies.

If we draw in people who want to suceed, they will do so, adding to the tapestry of America and to its wealth (in every sense of the world)

Today's anti-immigration people remind me of today's Bushitas and corporate leaders. it is not enough to be doing well or very well, or even extraordinarily well financially; Everyone else has to be suffering before they feel totally vindicated and successful. Applied to immigration, (considering that everyone in this country is a bloody immigrant or offspring of) these people cannot stand the idea that immigrants might succeed and do well here, that they might better their lives and improve ours in the process, or that open immigration actually helps everyone in our country.

far reaching effects on every aspect of our society. To simply say that people are anti-immigration and vindictive because they see major problems is dismissive at best and serves no purpose for a healthy debate.

As with any issue, Illegal immigration is neither the cause of all ills nor is it a panacea.

I car about immigrants and yet I also care about unskilled American workers. I don't think it has to be an either/or situation however.

address the issues instead of propagandize.
