The GOP piefight over immigration and HR 4437. Email Print

The Republicans are at each other's throats on immigration. Business groups are reacting with outrage to the latest GOP proposal to require them to document that each of their immigrants are here in this country legally and require them to play Big Brother and do the job of the Federal Government.

As Democrats, we believe in individual responsibility. That means that if we pass a law, we provide the resources to enforce the law ourselves, not make other people into the eyes and ears of the government. Furthermore, we support increased immigration, as it would mean more jobs and more revenue for the government. We're the ones who put the money in, and they're the ones who would take the money out by shutting the country's door to most immigrants.

Wait... There's more! (3 comments, 5030 words in story)
