Poll question: Poll: Food for undocumented immigrants?
I think Dems support for allowing undocumented immigrants to openly purchase food and similar positions on related issues will lead to a republican presidential victory. I am against allowing undocumented immigrants to openly purchase food and I am very much in favor of fixing our border problems. What is the general consensus here?

( :sarcasm: for the sarcasm-challenged)

4. Win-win situation right here:
Pollute the $*^@ out of the air, force Americans to buy gas masks (Covered under your health insurance plan, obviously!). Now the immigrants can breath dirty polluted air, while all the "legals" breath nice, clean, masky air. It helps our economy and gets rid of illegals at the same time!

8. They're here for our air!
Then they have kids here who are legally entitled to it! This has got to stop! Our air belongs to those of us whose families came here before them.

5. Many of those concerned about illegal aliens include Democrats and independents
and should I mention, labor unions?

Governor Spitzer's proposal is a LOSE-LOSE for Democrats that embrace him.

6. We need an endless supply of cheap labor to suppress Joe six packs wages.
We need the "undocumented immigrants" so that we don't need to pay higher wages to undeserving American workers. Without the influx of additional workers business owners might have to give workers raises. Worse yet employers might find themselves forced to provide health insurance to retain workers!!!!
You know what happens when workers get raises, they just blow it on food and savings for retirement. How are the credit card companies supposed to survive without workers who need to supplement their wages with debt? Heck, if we don't import workers we might have to allow our workers raises that actually keep up with inflation! We might be forced to provide health insurance to retain good workers! It would be an economic disaster!

7. Aren't you afraid of a knock on the door at 3:00 AM?
Or a raid of your work place by the Border Patrol?
You know too much to be a real American.
