1. COMMENT

Win-Win Idea Fails

Chicago Sun-Times comments "Hard to believe, but the U.S. Senate
on Wednesday turned down a potential pool of 1 million new
soldiers. They told them to forget about going to college, too.
The message they sent was that our country doesn't need any more
teachers, doctors, lawyers or soldiers. They might as well have
said we want more dishwashers, maids and farm workers. Their
decision means that fewer young immigrants will pay taxes and
more will rely on public health care. Ultimately, there will be
fewer young people contributing to the economy, building our
brain trust."

3. Items

(a) Who Can Stay and Who Must Go: Keeping Families Together Under
Current Immigration Law

Emily Haverkamp, Esq. writes "In movies or on TV, it always looks
so simple when a U.S. citizen marries someone from a different
country. The new husband or wife immediately gets U.S.
citizenship or a green card, right? In real life, it is not quite
so simple. The foreign national spouse can apply for a green
card, but the process through which this occurs can differ
greatly depending on the circumstances involved."

5. LETTERS

(a) Dear Weekly Editor:
You have intentionally combined legal immigration with illegal
immgration in your poll. You could not expect a valid response
or valid results because the issues are so different. Why would
immigration attorneys in your organization intentionally blur the
distinction and benefits and problems? How do you know that
anti-immigration factions weighed in any more than those factions
in favor of the rule of law in the U.S. - a lesson we stress with
our relations overseas?

Elise Patterson

(b) Dear Weekly Editor:
I had to laugh at your complaint that some how anti-immigrants
undermined your poll. You must live a very cloistered life.
Every independent poll that I have seen on immigration shows that
by an overwhelming majority most Americans are opposed to illegal
immigration and want legal immigration reduced. A Gallup poll
found that 80% of the public wants the federal government to get
tougher on illegal Immigration. A Quinnipiac University Poll
found that 62% oppose illegal aliens receiving citizenship, 72%
oppose driver licenses for illegal aliens. Your poll question,
"Is immigration good for America," was a terrible question that
was asked only to elicit a positive answer. It is like asking
if vitamin C is good for you? Of course it is. Most experts
say that about 800 milligrams a day are beneficial for your
health, Unfortunately 8000 milligrams are toxic to your liver.
The same is true regarding immigration. 800 legal immigrants
per day are good for America. 8000 (legal and illegal),
immigrants per day are toxic to our natural environment, our
healthcare systems, public education, social order, the Rule of
Law and the criminal justice systems. The pro illegal alien
lobby is willing to sell out our sovereignty, our children's
future and our natural environment for cheap immigrant labor and
the expansion of government programs.

Jim Ludwick

(c) Dear Weekly Editor:
I am "for" immigration as per se. No country can live without an
immigration regulation. What I cannot see is the process and the
way each unit of Immigration sees a case. Regulations should
be so clear in some of the cases that the process can be speedy.
However, at this point no matter what Immigration works like
the "crab climbing" Two steps up and three steps down making it
an ever ending process. This should stop but when I do not know.

Gladys C. Farris
