republican, My stance is not to allow everyone in the country. the Militarized US-Mexico border is not to stop terrorists. The army deployed there has the right to shoot anyone. The stretch of deserts has killed a lot of people. And, you cannot ignore the importance of history in issues like immigration when you are talking about a country like america. This country is a country of immigrants. They took the land from the natives, took the land from the mexicans and built an empire exploiting the natives and slaves. that's what makes america different and, ironically, wealthier than all other countries. Even Bush mentions it in his speech every once in a while. Americans cannot say, ok we're in, now lets close all borders. And you are right how both Bush and Kerry do not touch on issues about finding and uprooting the REAL reason why people are ready to die to illegally get into america. Just another reason why i do not think either party is worth supporting.
