Chatboard (14)

Ok, I've officially decided that the XANGA chat features suck due to several reasons - won't list them here. Switch to plain old IM? I use most services except jabber and IRC.

And English should be our primary language. Because that's the language of God, right?

Its written somewhere in the NeoCon bylaws that they can't learn any historical lessons from a non-JudeoChristian society.

Guest worker programs are basically indentured servitude. Totally goes along the attitude of "We want your labor, but not your lives." Sorry, I get riled up with this issue, especially since we talk about it a lot in the Asian American Studies courses I TA for.

Oh, and what's the deal with this plan to build a friggin' WALL??? As if it worked SO well for the Chinese! Do you ever watch The Colbert Report? I love Stephen Colbert's mockery of the whole thing. I read a transcript of the commencement address he gave at Knox College this year, in which he talks about not only building a wall on the southern border, but a moat in case they catapult themselvces over the wall. And on the north, too. And block off the coasts,because immigrants can swim.

There were people in MN who were all for the INS trying to round up and ship off all 12 million (estimated) illegals at the marches. Never mind the sheer logisitics of the problem.

Absolutely. The process itself is severely flawed . . . and no amount of "guest worker" programs is going to fix it.

I guess my take on it is that the question of legality isn't really the issue. Our economy demands the labor of immigrants, be they legal or not. So perhaps the real thing to tackle is whether or not our legislation should recognize that labor.

That's probably why so many of them feel entitled to citizenship and whatnot. Like they think that everyone else should just "wait in line." Problem is, LEGAL immigration also needs to be reformed. What the folks in Congress don't address is that there are more than 6 million legal immigrants backlogged, which means that our immigration laws don't suffiently service our global economy.

Welp, I think that Asians might have the majority when it comes to "legal immigration" - and having spent 7 years getting somebody's family overseas might make them a bit bitter towards people rampantly crossing the border.

"Catherine currently has no memories..." That's just too depressing.
