Immigration

The country is facing a problem with illegal immigration and the good or bad effects it has on us. I have no idea of how to solve this, but some of the "solutions" offered by the president and congress confuse the hell out of me.

In an article today in the Washington Post it is stated that, "Conservative anti-immigration advocates controlled the debate last month in the House, which passed stringent legislation calling for the construction of nearly 700 miles of fence along the Mexican border."

It wasn't that many years ago that President Ronald Reagan, credited with being the leader of conservative Republicans, stood at the Berlin Wall and uttered those famous words, "Mr. Gorbachuv, tear down this wall." Maybe Mr. Bush and the Republicans in Congress ought to read their history books. Remember what happened to the Soviet Union?
