Originally posted by You left out the word "ILLEGAL" before the word "immigration." Thousands have been waiting, and paying, to legally immigrate - Why the heck should illegal immigrants from Mexico be allowed to cut in line and not go through any safety screening? This is the real issue.

In this situation, the word "illegal" means nothing. It is a word fabricated by the tyranical rulers of this country in order to justify the oppression of the true inheritance of not only this land but of this earth. You must also take into account that many of these people are leaving their own homes in Mexico, as well as parts of Central America, not because America is such a "great" place to live but because of much of the inner turmoil of their countries, which undeniably, America had it's hands in starting. The real issue here is not about screening so called immigrants. The real issue here is about human rights.
