GG, I have been dirt ass poor. Even did some farm work some summers for family in Maine.
I agree with you more than anyone else on this list, but I think this is one place where you, and the libertarian party, are wrong. Amnesty and eventual loosening of our immigration statues will level the playing field internationally. It will drag us down to the level of the 2nd and 3rd world nations that people are coming here from. It will erode our core values and systems and beliefs. The earlier amnesty caused a huge influx of illegal immigration, and even just the talk about this one has already caused a larger than normal flood of people coming north in hopes to arrive prior to the amnesty so they can attain some sort of legal status.
