...but not how you think. I'm a "legal" alien. My parents and many relatives came from Europe when I was a child, and became citizens through proper channels. Why would we want or support other relatives in coming over illegally??? It doesn't even make sense. What does it say about our hard work and doing things right, when others can just walk across the border and they're all set

I think as a wealthy country we have a responsibility to help people all over the world, but there are better ways of doing it. Since a lot of these people are willing to do work that most born Americans don't want to...then why not relax or change the laws. I wouldn't mind at all using my tax dollars to help poor countries have a better standard of living. Mexico, for example, is a beautiful place. Why not help them so that people can stay in the country and with the people they love.

What's the point of having laws if you are going to ignore them? If they don't work...change them.

BTW...Mark Warner is my governor. He is a very compassionate, highly intelligent person.
