I’m pretty sure Becks isn’t an immigrant. If he was, he could have been celebrating with the US team in Poland instead of losing to the French this past week.

I think LA should have passed on Beckham and invested in a decent back line, you know, one that doesn’t let every midfield pass turn into a shot on goal. While I am aware this was supposed to be about illegal immigration, I needed to rant about that game for a bit. I now return you to your regularly scheduled rants:)

“…Australian-style points-based system to encourage skilled workers to migrate and keep out ones with little education and training. He has also imposed new taxes on overseas workers and made it harder to earn citizenship… .”

At last, a Euro trend that doesn’t scare the pants off me; if only Pelosi and Reid could care enough about the country’s future to pick up on this idea, then maybe we’d get some meaningful immigration reform.

I like Drew Carey too, as a door stop. This carbon unit knows not the difference between legal and illegal. Is he perhaps pandering to the 20 million illegals in this country as TPIR viewers or perhaps this vacuum head is doing his improve of an April Fool.

Notice his caveat at the end: We should welcome all peaceful immigrants. So can we deport or exclude the non-peaceful ones? sausage said:

When do I get my hug then?

Here you go.

Well, that was a waste of time. Who isn’t open to legal immigration? Look at his brilliant co-star from his show, Craig Ferguson, he did it the legal way and is probably more pro American than many that were born here.
Personally, I couldn’t give a hoot about Beckaman and his wife. The man played how many seconds of soccer for how much money? I don’t think he was worth it nor did it matter to me if they came here or not. I think the media hype was over the top for them.

PS-Michelle, I think you are highly intelligent, but I don’t think “baddest” is an actual word.

I’ll make a deal with you Michelle – you tell me that Drew Carey is not a fat, stupid, no-talent dorkwad, and I’ll tell you he’s not joking.

Carey is being naive in this report because he isn’t factoring in the reconquista movement who seek to reclaim the American Southwest and restore it to its status as the north end of Mexico. Those near-rioters waving Mexican flags aren’t demanding the right to come and open Mexican restaurants, Drew.

I'd say the vast majority of Americans are very welcoming of immigrants, if they immigrate here LEGALLY, like my descendants did.

Vive la revolution! You want to see this class clowns future of America just come to LA. Take a good look this is your city of the future. It’s the same violent gang culture I have seen in Latin America for as long as I can remember. Can someone explain to me how the criminal gangs always end up running wild in Latino neighborhoods where are the good citizens willing to stand up and get rid of the gangs? You want a city where people are gunned down after a traffic accident, its already here. You want a city where there are over 100,000 gangsas to 7000 cops, we already have that. What will this guy have to say when bombs start going off like they do and have done all the time down in peaceful Latin America? Probably nothing, he will take off and leave the rest off us holding the bag. That’s the America we end up with if this guy gets his way we can see it happening already. His idiocy is dangerous, he’s an irresponsible adult, if you support any of these people in any way you might as well put a gun to your head its really not much different.

Shrug. Drew Carey is a libertarian. Libertarians, as a general rule, believe in the free, unfettered exchange of economic inputs, including labour, across international borders. And frankly, as long as there’s a security network in place to prevent known terrorists and criminals from entering the country, I for one see no problem with letting any labourers who want to, to work in America as legally documented guest workers.

Not wasting resources trying to keep harmless unskilled labourers out is, in my opinion, one necessary means of reforming the system to make it better able to catch the real bad guys we don’t want in the country. Making the system more efficient will do more for America’s border security than any fence (which I also agree should be built).

There is a difference between legal and illegal immigration. Apparently, the distinction is lost on him. When many of one culture emigrate, there is less incentive to assimilate.

At least the guy is consistent - he's a Libertarian, and talks like one. Meanwhile, for those who keep saying "A fence won't work ..."
