3DHS / Re: Reid: Immigration reform a top priority

No, please pay attention......to stop the collapse of our current healthcare system.
Then what was that second paragraph about? You were talking about "ever increasing taxation" and "bigger Government intrusion and entitlements" as a result of the immigrants voting for it all. Was that not about socialism? Or was I not supposed to pay attention to that part?
If one leads to the other, then it's apparent that you are willing to accept it, though probably not like it. Which is fine, just be honest.
I am being honest. You're trying to make this about me being willing to accept socialism, ahem, excuse me, the collapse of our current health care system, when in fact it is not about that at all. I'm just not willing to blame the immigrants for something that is not their fault. I'm certainly not going to agree that punishing them now for something they haven't yet done is a good idea. Any collapse of the health care system in the next decade or so rests with the Republican and Democratic politicians. The Republicans had a chance to do something, and they not only did nothing to help, they made it worse. They are to blame right now, not immigrants.
And 1 LAST time, don't even try to claim I'm against immigrants who simply "want to come here to work and to create a better life for themselves." Never have, never will. So no, I'm not attacking or "punishing" those that want to come here, only those that chose to do it illegally
Yes, you are choosing to punish them by supporting needlessly burdensome immigration law that prevents them from being able to simply come here to work and create a better life for themselves. Many of those people find risking death easier than our immigration law. And of course you are against immigrants who simply want to come here to work and create a better life for themselves because you are against simply letting them do that. You support instead a bureaucratic labyrinth of nearly mythic proportions that is intended precisely to prevent immigrants from simply coming here to work, et cetera. I don't see how you could be considered not against it when you clearly oppose it.
