2. Hillary is very disappointing on this issue.
I can literally see the political calculating going on in her noggin.

6. it's funny how the Nevada Dem Party allowed people to caucus who couldn't speak
English and did not have to show IDs but she won't let them have driver's license.

5. The problem is not that illegals are here ... it's that they are being pushed out or their countries
When we are a GOOD NEIGHBOR to our South American neighbors, we will also see our illegal alien problem diminish.

Who wants to come to a country and be a criminal without being desperate in the first place.

7. Blacks who think "illegal immigrants" are taking jobs are "scapegoating"!
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 08:53 PM by gulliver
That's a good answer? One, I think it is clearly factually wrong. Two, it appears he is taking the black vote for granted. Or it was just a mistake.

On edit: Added "are taking jobs" to title. Somehow it didn't come out when I typed it first.

8. It's the broken system dude, you can't get mad at the poor
immigrant for taking advantage of that broken system.

10. True. We have to work on the system.
Lots of things have gone wrong under the Republicans. They don't believe in any system. They just howl and make noise.

9. I think he was better on immigration
and he'll do what he says, which is the key difference.
