But do you set arbitrary limits on the front door? Do you have a
sign posted on your lawn saying "Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse
of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed, to
me" --

Just because the sign is there doesn't mean they don't have to follow
the laws. Under your interpretation if I see a sign "Highway", I'd be
allowed to drive on it even if I didn't have a license. We are a
nation of laws and if you want to live here you have to obey those
laws. We have immigration laws and if immigrants bypass them, they
are illegal.

I like your highway idea. Now how would you feel if the politicians
decided that we have too many cars on the road and because building
highways is expensive and cars pollute we are going to limit who can
drive. We will allow 80% if the people in Road Island to drive and maybe
10% if those in Texas. California may get 15%.

No dice Joe. If all the drivers have legal licenses you can't discriminate
against any of them. But they sure as hell can tell those without legal
licenses to stay off the road.

Why not? Is that not what our current immigration laws do? We have
quotas for the number of people who may come into the US legally. Some
countries get lots some few. It seems that if you are from a country with
money with a mostly white population and speak English you get a large
allocation. If you are from somewhere else that lacks those
characteristics, or is not on good terms politically, you get less.

Note: After my current responses I will make one more set of responses
in about 48 hours. I am doing this because this really does not fit in this
newsgroup and I think it is time to come to an end. I will try to give
everyone a chance to ask for one more response and of course anyone is
welcome to respond after my last response.
