@ Coffee. With the closing of Guantanamo you are speaking of. There are rumors that terrorists/illegal immigrants are now being released into a town in Massachusetts. Have you heard anything on the subject?

There’s no doubt that immigration is a problem – whether Latino or Asian. And it’s a problem because of the ethical issues concerned. I understand about legality and all that. But when “illegals” are paying taxes (and there are), and whose children were born in the States (which makes the children American citizens by default because of the law that follows Jus Soli), what do you do then, exactly?

For some reason, I kinda liked what Huckabee (not sure of the spelling) proposed about giving scholarships to children of illegal immigrants who excell in school. The reasoning behind the proposal was to help these children become productive citizens and tax payers who can help their parents become legal citizens. Hopefully, this proposal is kept in the mix.

Unfortunately, there are so many other pressing issues the country is faced with such as the economy, the war, the middle east conflict etc. Whether or not immigration can be dealt with this year is still an uncertainty, I think.

I am a strong advocate of allowing immigrants from Mexico into the U.S. Historically speaking, much of the West Coast is theirs. They have a long legacy in that region of the U.S. So what right does this government have to deny them a right to share in it, especially since it was stolen from them anyway. America needs to adopt a foreign policy concerning Mexico that is more inclusive. It must remember the history. What goes around comes around. Do unto others what you would have done unto yourself. Live by the sword, die by it. If you don’t want your land and possessions taken from you, don’t take from somebody else. America has all that it has because it has taken from people all over the earth. And now that it has enjoyed the fruits of other peoples labor, it does not want to share the same. This will ultimately come back on America. This nation needs to really take a deep look at itself, at what it is doing to its own future. At some point it is going to have to find a better way of treating those that it has taken advantage of to be where it is, or it will have a terrible fall, and there will be no one willing to help it get back up. Think about it.

Obama is smart on so many levels for ordering the closure of Guantanamo. It has been a long time coming
