No
to immigrant military
The nation's warm feelings about the
outstanding performance of the military shouldn't blind Congress
and produce a rush to grant citizenship to those who enlisted
as legal aliens. -- We don't want to create incentives for a
mercenary force filled with foreigners who are attracted by a
program that grants expedited access to benefit programs. |

claims long-term lawbreakers should be rewarded
The same federal government that may
deport Karina Ventura, a Des Moines Lincoln High School sophomore
[who is actually an adult illegal alien], forbids schools from
discriminating against students based on immigration status:
Schools must educate them and cannot ask whether they are here
legally. ---In the cases like Ventura's, young people who have
lived in the United States for some time should be allowed to
finish school and reside legally in the United States. |

What else does Bush want that Mexico sends us besides poverty,
