I know why the country was founded - and that the native Americans were unable to control immigration into THEIR country, and look what happened to them. This country can easily handle legal immigrants, and they should be welcomed. Unfortunately, people are ILLEGALLY pouring across this country's southern border at the rate of several thousand per DAY and have been for several years; the country CANNOT absorb that many immigrants that fast. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)
