Personally, I am thankful for the 'cannon fodder' because if it wasn't for them, we would be speaking Chinese now, and German or Japanese, after world war 1 & II, and so on.

And as far as the amnesty bill goes, why put more laws on the books, that these idiots we elect to represent us and send to Washington DC, will not enforce! I do think there is a ray of hope since I understand we did a good job of jamming the phone system in DC, speaking our mind and using our tools to let them know we are here.
