If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you for ward it to every legal resident in the country including every elected Representative in Washington , D.C.-five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof


Point 4: I would be willing to bet that every single one of those kids knows a word in english.

Point 5: These "anchor babies" are just as American as you are and have all the same rights. If you don't like education, just say it. I would personally rather fund teachers than killers.

Point 9: More obviously BS than any other point! There is no way that you can quantify a variable like "Suppressed american wages"...

Point 10: This is racist and presumptuous. For instance, there are plenty of white illegal aliens! Perhaps you have a kid? Well then who's to say whether or not he is going to be a criminal when he grows up? Not somebody on a sailing forum, that's for sure!

Point 11: "Terrorist Countries" are you effing kidding me? Define "Terrorist Country", this is bigoted nationalist rhetoric if I have ever heard it!


There are many other points here that I find untenable, but I find that the counter arguments I presented were the stronger ones.
