Dream Act-like Protections Available Now

I don't think many believe that there shouldn't be a process for folks to obtain visas, work permits, citizenship, etc...

Where I think we, as Americans, have EPIC failed, is the self analysis. It's something that we don't like to talk about because it would mean that perhaps we're not exceptional or #1 in the universe.

If we were trying to enter the USA or become citizens, would we ourselves go through the long, excruciating, confusing, painful, expensive process? I imagine that the answer would be NO. Most of us would do EXACTLY the same as so many Mexicans have.

Are our agencies properly and sufficiently employed? Are our processes and policies too expensive, bureaucratic, or take too long? What are we doing to ENCOURAGE legal immigration? Perhaps cutting some of the red tape would do wonders?

Instead of just labeling people as ILLEGALS or LAZY or ENTITLED lets look ourselves in the mirror.

Stop trying to make me feel guilty about labeling people.
 
If "hard" criteria is immoral than you two need to tear up your mason lodge cards cause I hear there is a super hard criteria in there about being honest.
 
What are everyone's thoughts on the U.S. getting more involved in fixing the problems on the Mexico side of the border?

Finding ways to dramatically reduce the demand here is one sure fire way to affect things on that side of the boarder.
