I believe it completely. You're a damned reasonable person. In all honesty, I've been more busy this week, so I didn't have time to read all your posts. This was a horribly weak way for me to get the entire gist of your position in one shot.

I couldn't agree more. The thing is, if there are less illegals coming into, living in, and working in the US, the less likely things are to change. If they went home, that would mean the system works. The result would be fatality and crime rates tripling in Mexico, and severe damage to our economy. I can't get behind that.

I agree, so long as you don't go too far. For example, I think Bush should be impeached and imprisoned. I would never say I want him dead or tortured.

Not that I can see.

Unless you're a member of the Minutemen, I don't recall calling you anything. I'll go back and see if others did. You used a lot of caps, which got my attention (which I'm sure was your intention).

And it would take quite a bit to lose the respect you've earned from me here.
I, personally, see bilingual education as a step in the right direction. It'd be nice if Canada, the US and Mexico could be chummy like the EU some day. I think all three nations could benefit greatly from it, and it would help to stabilize the economy of Central America. Newt, on the other hand, is an antique. He's leftover casserole from the 90s, no longer decent enough to stomach. It wouldn't be a waste to simple toss his impotent opinions out with the trash. I'll bet he smells like cheap single malt and cheese.
