Bordering on Insanity
The more I read and hear about SB 1033, the more I am shaking my head in disbelief. Rather than shoring up the borders and incrementally reforming our immigration policy, they are going to try to pass a bill that covers everything, will take years to implement, be a hugely expensive, cumbersome bureaucratic nightmare (how on earth will they see to it that immigrants learn english?) and possibly give instate college tuition to illegals. Everything from church soup kitchens to the war on drugs is included.
I am curious about people wishing to immigrate from Africa, Asia and other countries? How many of them will be included in the 400,000 new visas?

Spank That Donkey Bush, the GOP & the Border
My side of the family are Heinz 57 Americans, the descendant of Scots, Irish, Brits, Basques, Germans, Dutch and a question mark (old family pix give a clue) immigrants.
The ancestors worked hard, even (especially) the ones involved in some questionable movement of cattle in the Missouri Breaks. Some of them worked in the steel mills of Birmingham, Alabama just as they did in Birmingham, England when they reached 12 years of age. Some were farmers in the midwest and south. Some became soldiers. One ended up the Captain of a riverboat on the Mississippi another was a smalltown banker. My Grandma, as a young woman, staked out a homestead in South Dakota and cleaned rooms in town. When they came over there was no welfare, no medicaid, no social security, no safety net but they came like other immigrants - in droves. Not all of them survived the hardships but the dream lived on and continues to do so.
They also came legally, learned the language and became Americans as did their children. I never once heard any of the old people refer to themselves as Irish-American or German-American.
America is enriched by immigration. I don't care if we have to cut down a few more trees to make room for more - come on over! Bring your family, your religion, your traditions, your recipes but please, love this country and raise your children to love and respect it and please, get the visa before you come.
