Immigration bill
I can not support this bill. As much as I agree with the idea that immigration is a problem in the US, making illegal immigrants felons is a stupid and useless idea. People come to America not to commit crimes, but to make a better life for themselves. Look around the world. What better place to be than America. Maybe America needs to adopt the idea that Iceland has, project it as a place no one wants to live in.
Crimes are committed by people born and raised here, so throw that argument out of the window. Instead of spending money to educate and hospitalize them, use that money to give them a medical check up, and then deport them. If all they get out of the deal is free healthcare, then I'm willing to live with that.
But making them felons would mean that we would have to house them in our prisons which we already have too many of. Send them back, and not just the Mexicans. The Cubans, Haitians, Canadians, Chinese, etc. You can even sneak the stupid Americans as well. But don't ask me to detain Dick Cheney. I don't want to be shot.

I think this bill addresses the perception, and not the reality. Sure some come here to commit crimes, but we have plenty of people here already who commit crimes. I'm with James on this one. Most of the people who come here do so to work and make a better life for their families, but we don't hear about them because that is not considered newsworthy. I have several students without a social security number. We need to tighten up the border, but I don't think that making illegal immigrants felons is the answer.
