Daddy's little liberal moron
By BT May 18th 2007 at 10:54 pm EDT
You call it Nativism to want to protect our borders when, in all probability, you have never done a day's work in your entire lazy campus life.

As long as daddy's paying your way, you're liberal about spending our tax monies. But once it starts coming out of your pocket, you'll be singing a different tune.

In the meantime, get out there and compete for goods and services with the millions of illegals in our marketplace. And while you're at it, get a job.

Where do Americans Stand on "Illegal" Immigration?

59% of Americans believe that, if an undocumented worker has lived and worked in the United States for two years, he/she should be given a chance for legal citizenship rather than be deported.

While this seems like a basic issue of human compassion and smart economics, the number is far higher than I would've guessed. Maybe underneath all that conservative mouth-frothing, Lou Dobbs's Nightly Nativism, and growing economic inequality, Americans have retained a little faith in the American dream.
