Quotes to live by.
1) THE FOUNDATION: IMMIGRATION
"Born in other countries, yet believing you could be happy in this, our laws acknowledge, as they should do, your right to join us in society, conforming... to our established rules. That these rules shall be as equal as prudential considerations will admit, will certainly be the aim of our legislatures, general and particular."
- Thomas Jefferson, our Founding Father and Drafter of our Constitution. Indeed, a man who should know the subject and who our Legislators ought to START listen to!

Good post, good comment Osi
The immigrants Jefferson was speaking to, had come here legally and worked since their arrival to assimilate into the American culture.
Today's millions of illegal occupants violate the very first principle of assimilation, by refusal to obey existing laws.
Well stated!
