Fightin' Words
The thing is, I have yet to meet anyone who wants to give government benefits to illegal immigrants. Yet any time someone voices their opposition out loud all hell seems to break loose.
I have a somewhat warped, and obviously minority, view. I believe it's completely outrageous an illegal immigrant can have access to any government service. Well, apart from certain transportation services provided by the INS at any rate. However, I also believe it should be made easier for people to become citizens of the US.
The reasoning behind my views are detailed and various, and too long to go into at the moment. Unless someone starts waving beer at me, that is. Anyone buying?
Nope - too much travel and you guys keep not coming out here. I'm in basic agreement with you, though - make it easier but abolish minimum wage statutes. Of course, in doing so you'll need to make sure that social welfare programs are eliminated as well, but that should work nicely.

A person proposes blocking those who pay no taxes are here illegally from receiving in-state tuition benefits. It gets labeled as hate speech?!? Then blocking him from speaking? I know we've talked about the political spectrum circle, but damned if I've seen a better example of it lately. People who've gotten so liberal they want to tax citizens to provide benefits to non-citizens but won't recognize the First Amendment. Sounds a bit totalitarian to me, no?
