Personally, I think that immigration reform should begin with all illegals going home and getting in line, just as my great-grandparents did. And a note to Nancy Pelosi, a large percentage of those here illegally are here with their allegiance to their homeland, where 90% of their earnings are sent. They are not here for our healthcare….. they are simply providing for their family back home.
Healthcare reform is necessary, but not a government takeover, and Immigration reform is necessary, but not woth amnesty programs.

Obviously that e-mail is completely wrong, but besides that, amnesty? You mean a la Ronald Reagan?

Hey All,
Obama said the health care bill will not include illegals.
Now I understand the reason he said that, and that would be because by the time it passes, there won’t be anymore illegals, they will all be given citizenship, or be in a program to get citizenship.
What a joke.
