Second, I think it’s much more complex than Democrats being on one side and Republicans on the other. This is a very mixed issue and has more to do with what interest lie in whose state. Agricultural and many business interests want the immigrants because they provide low cost labor, labor that largely can’t be gotten from non-immigrants. African-Americans often see these immigrants as competitors, both for jobs in places like New Orleans, but also for political capital as the new minorities. Unions can be torn. On the one hand, the immigrants could be new blood for their movements. On the other, they compete directly with current union employees quite often. Then again, without this low cost labor, many businesses that could might move to where the immigrants emigrate from. Some states like California are more highly burdened with the social ills of masses of immigrant poor. Other states, such as Texas, have been better able to welcome them. Ideologically liberal Democrats and libertarian Republicans may see allowing these immigrants into the country as the right thing to do, while right-wing, nationalist Republicans and left-wing, labor-oriented Democrats may think that it hurts the country and its people. Etc.

This is probably one of the issues to least fall straight down party lines to come along in a while.

I wish we could get to that point, but currently decisions are based on the realities of business and politics.

Bring about the understanding of the need for harmony between the diferent races and cultures

Don’t put a number on a person we are all sensetive and emotional humans in need of understanding and forgivness

Under god’s ever watchfull eye they is no such thing as a ilegal person

Share and extend goodwill upon all

Peace on earth and the skys above
