Apropos "Thinking about That 'Amnesty,'" by Lawrence Henry:

p>Out of context, it may seem mad for GWB to encourage tens of millions of Latin Americans, Chinese et al. to flood into the U.S. In view of GWB's pending announcement of America's return to the moon and travel to Mars, however, it makes perfect sense: He's simply ensuring that we legal Americans have somewhere to go after we become outnumbered by aliens, as it were. br> -- David Govett br> Davis, California /p>

Well if it is an "ethnic group" that consistently ignores the laws of our country and parasitically sucks the resources from its host (the U.S.A.), then a "cleansing" is very nearly necessary! Is the obvious so clouded in political rhetoric as to be unseen, unknown and even disbelieved? Lets refer to the discussion of the method El-Al uses to screen terrorists.

In our media it is referred to as "racial profiling" For El-Al, whose intolerance of terrorism is known world-wide, it is called "terrorist profiling" Why? Because there is a profile for the common terrorist -- and a large percentage terrorists are from a small group of world culture. No apologies for a strong policy that protects their customers. In the eyes of most Americans, this is a desirous policy- and one that has taken a backseat to attempting to please everyone.

Amnesty? In this "new world" of lost innocence and terrorism arriving on our shores, wouldn't a decry of amnesty simply send the message globally that we have now officially "rolled over and went to sleep" at our borders?

History and culture do not spring up overnight. No event exists alone, every event can be attributed to certain other events- and more importantly, an event of this magnitude should cause concern, if not action from law abiding Americans and legal immigrants.

In the writer's words we are encouraged to "think." Nay I say we must act. We must think about consequences with as much scrutiny as we have recited the causes. We must act congruently with the safety and best possible results for the American people. To make decisions based on the popularity of foreign liberal news media would be to be salve to that media.

There are a vast number of reasons and arguments against this amnesty issue, and this is probably not even the first priority or strongest argument, but I feel it is important.

p>I am disgusted that our American President, for whom I have a great respect, can even propose such a thing. I opine that our worth as a world hegemony is nearing its own internal dissolution. br> --
