Illegal Aliens - Is there a middle ground?

The article title, Immigration debate gets religious, is the first time I've seen mis-information used by the Washington Times between what an article is titled on the front page, above the fold, Christians enter illegals debate, and the incorrect and misleading title within the on-line paper. The article is by Charles Hurt and I have not seen him use mis-leading titles before. Maybe there are subversives within the Washington Times. Interesting... When you search and compare with the printed paper, you will see the discrepancy but it is the same article. The article is a must-read for those interested in the illegal immigration/amnesty fight and the groups have offered an interesting and workable solution for Congress and for the President to consider. It is the best solution so far for addressing a worse and worst solution issue. The following is a list of some groups of the coalition who have addressed the Congress and the President in an open letter to our nation's leadership: Gary Bauer of the Families First on Immigration; Deal Hudson of Morley Institute for Church & Culture; David Keene of the American Conservative Union; Manuel Miranda of the Third Branch Conference; Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association; Rev. Louis Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition; and Rabbi Aryeh Sepro of the Caucus for America. An estimated 12 to 20 MILLION illegals are in our nation. Keep in mind many of them are terrorists or have terrorists links; not all are peasants from Mexico - they have just used Mexico as the way in. From the article, "Ilegal immigration is a human tragedy that disrupts lives and separates families. It is a failure of two governments: the one that fails its people and the one that invites their departure for cheap labor's sake." I could add further that our nation - the United States has failed the American people and it could be argued that our leaders have violated their oaths of office at the very least and worse have encouraged the violation of our immigration laws and the enforcement of those laws which tax dollars pay to have enforced. Our leaders have violated their trust and some could argue, are or have skirted the fringes of being traitors to their oaths of office and by extension, they have betrayed the citizens of the United States. Some may call it treason; some may call it trolling for votes. Family First also urged lawmakers to act quickly as:"...this harms Americans too. It corrodes the dignity of the American people." To me, it cheapens our citizenship, it has created a balkanized nation - fast becoming difficult to attain the American Dream if one does not have mobility due to language barriers - English is the language of The United States of America - without that fluency, one cannot truly participat in the American ideal. Language means things and part of a nation's culture is imbued within its language. All languages are linquistically equivalent - some languages do not have words to even allow discussion of some of our concepts and precepts of the American ideal of freedom and liberty. Please read the article and check out the ideas of the coalition. Perhaps a compromise is possible. The time to face this issue of the loss of our national sovereignty is past-due; are we a nation or are we a Tower of Babel - set to destroy our cohesion. Our shared values and historical traditions along with our shared language are all we have left to hold us together. United we stand; divided we fall! You decide...
