Things That Just Piss Me Off

This pisses me off. Bush and congress have approved billions of dollars for homeland security and supposedly to secure our borders. Bush wants to give amnesty to illegal immigrants or give them some other type of legal jargon bs that lets them stay here illegally.

I believe if you want to live in this country, you do it legally. You apply for citizenship. Many have and they get all the rights accorded to them as US Citizens.

But in order for the system to work, you have to put some of those billions of dollars to work on processing applications from those who do wish to apply for citizenship legally. By not doing so, you perpetuate the problem of illegal immigration.

Legal Immigrants Facing a Longer Wait
By JULIA PRESTON of the NYTimes

Because of an unprecedented surge in immigration applications last summer, legal immigrants will have to wait much longer during the next two years to receive visas or naturalization papers, the top official of the federal agency that issues those documents said Thursday.

Under questioning from subcommittee members, Mr. Gonzalez said he could not guarantee that immigrants who applied to become citizens last summer would be naturalized in time to vote in the November elections.

Hmm. I wonder, if the hispanic vote commits to one party or the other, will this change so these new citizens will be able to vote?

Put some of that money being used for everything from fences to new vests for dope sniffing dogs into processing these applications. I am against people coming into this country illegally. I am all for those applying for legal citizenship. Fix the system!
