A Legal Immigrant Against Amnesty

Congressional leaders are planning to grant citizenship and work privileges to millions of illegal aliens in the upcoming budget reconciliation package.

That's a slap in the face for legal immigrants like me. Lawmakers are effectively saying that tens of millions of us — who followed all the rules for the privilege of coming to this great nation — are a bunch of dopes. That we'd have been better wading the Rio Grande or overstaying our tourist visas.

Amnesty isn't merely an insult, of course. It poses a tangible, dire economic threat to American workers, native-born and naturalized citizens alike.
