Lets Split Up Families

I am a little upset that conservatives always seem to go back and forth on their principles when it involves Latinos. Lately they have been against family provisions typically involved in Visa applications. The whole point was to keep families together. I though the traditional family unit was important for conservatives. I guess that only applies to people who are not Brown.

"He also said he will walk away if Menendez and
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) win passage of an amendment that would more than double the number of green cards available under the bill for the parents of U.S. citizens. Kyl said conservatives believe today's family unification system is being misused by illegal immigrants, whose U.S.-born children are citizens."

Should I even remind everyone that 'amnesty' was originally signed into law and supported by the great Republican icon Ronald Regan?

Agree. Republicans are being complete idiots over this. While attempting to cater to the "base," they're chipping away the invaluable support of many Hispanics, inevitably forcing the group closer to the democrats. On the other hand, I don't think that the democrats should get the Hispanic vote, just like that. After all, they have not done crap - at least so far - to earn it. I have the rare chance to agree with Bush: the status quo must be changed and an immigration reform passed with less of the draconian measures and more with the American spirit engraved on the Statue in New York:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

LOL, this is a wonderful point. When there is nothing better to do it seems as if its instyle to exile your neibor. Ok so hispanics are like the number 1 minority group in america and there are more citizens that are hispanic then other nationalities if we go by the US consensus. It is a shame how America functions, instead of facilitating a system that handles cultural demographical traits/characturistics, they ahve over looked immigration problems and now all the sudden they are not happy with the outcome. I can only think of what lead up to the Alamo. Mexico said come on down and settle in here-good economic stratagy until those settlers decided they enjoyed American freedoms more and well they just never gave up on keeping the home they established as Texas. Now we have had for God only knows how many generations of hispanic immigrants, some legal, some native to america, some illegal, some long term illegal residents with children as citizens. Weird how that could be a problem. As an administrative error, it is politically uncorrect to destroy what America stands for liberty. No one would care about liberty if it wasnt for family.It is only just to either give the mother citzenship as the children or relocate them all back in their home land.
