What's wrong with making a mockery of the current immigration/naturalization process? It's pretty much making a mockery of itself, anyway.

You are naive if you think any immigration legislation comming out of congress will really do anything. The last amnesty had provisions for tightening up the border. Look how well it worked. We'll be fortunate if congress doesn't come up with a solution that will make things worse.

I found this one day in my research on immigration, amnesty, etc., and I thought it was kind of funny:

Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to
All Persons of European Descent

Whereas, Europeans kept my forebears in bondage some three centuries toiling without pay,

Whereas, Europeans ignored the human rights pledges of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution,

Whereas, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments meant little more than empty words,

Therefore, Americans of European ancestry are guilty of great crimes against my ancestors and their progeny.

But, in the recognition Europeans themselves have been victims of various and sundry human rights violations to wit: the Norman Conquest, the Irish Potato Famine, Decline of the Hapsburg Dynasty, Napoleonic and Czarist adventurism, and gratuitous insults and speculations about the intelligence of Europeans of Polish descent,

I, Walter E. Williams, do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people.

Therefore, from this day forward Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.

[Walter E. Williams, Gracious and Generous Grantor]

I don't know who Walter E. Williams is, but I appreciated the amnesty and pardon, and I thought it might be something to hang onto for future reference in the immigration debate!! Enjoy!! :)
