I think immigration if anything, needs to be tightened. And that's not rascist, it's practical. If people immigrate legally and qualify for naturalization, fine. But I am opposed to giving automatic citizenship to people who immigrate illegally, even if they have already established work relations here. There needs to be due process. On this one, I am with Bush (so far). We've got to find jobs for Americans first (all races),and make sure they get earned social benefits, before the borders are opened any wider. When I applied for my citizenship back in 2001, it was a real eye opener. Everybody gets in, and I don't know how. I was the only English speaking/writing person in my group (kidding...but it was pretty close). I really don't know how so many of them passed the written test, especially the US history section. And the immigration officer I had for my application was a real sonovabitch. Despite my background, qualifications and fluency in English, he treated me like some creature from another planet, and was he ever fucking rude. I wonder how he treated other candidates. He was BLACK and I'm WHITE. So...is that RASCIST?
