• Immigration Law Changes - wow, heated debate just got bigger. Can't ignore it now can we?

  I've got to say, although I don't agree that we should sit by and let illegal immigrants enter this country as they please, these changes are a little extreme. Criminalizing illegal immigrants and putting them in prison? Like we don't already have an over population problem in prisons as it is. Whatever happend to just deporting them?

  Then punishing employers hiring illegal entrants as well as churches and social workers is also a surprising proposal. To paraphrase the comment about that by Senator Hilary Clinton, "it's punishing the good samaritans, as well as Jesus." Surprisingly enough, President Bush is saying that this bill needs to be debated some more, but that's probably because he has illegals working in his Texas ranch.

  I salute all those students who were able to give themselves a day off from school, by rallying a protest to these changes. I didn't think we still have outspoken and active students in this country. Let's see them continue protesting when it's officially their spring break, when they can protest over at Cancun Mexico.
