Comments & Feedback

I find soccergod's comments amusing. As the husband of an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation and brother-in-law of a Mexican-American who believes in secure borders leavened with compassion, let me add two points. One, my wife suggests that the U.S. should have learned something from the way her people blew it on insecure border policy. Two, my sister's husband suggests that a blanket amnesty for people who broke the law to enter our country is a slap in the face to his parents who went to the trouble to come here legally. The Kennedy-McCain bill offered a conditional amnesty (similar to that given to Confederate loyalists following the Civil War), which might actually have worked if its sponsors had been honest enough to admit it was an amnesty bill. Some penalty should be paid, but a guest worker program only makes sense. Perhaps we can offer to treat Mexican immigrants to our country with the same courtesy that Mexico treats foreign immigrants to theirs. I propose introducing a bill to that effect in Congress. What say you?
