One of the greatest beneficiaries of the American Dream was Albert Einstein, who helped the allied forces win World War II. Even though his genius basically gave him a free ride to do whatever he wanted, he insisted that he go through the immigration process and be treated like any other foreign immigrant in the United States.

Unfortunately, you don't see this kind of behavior anymore. Instead, those who come to this country illegally get a free ride to citizenship, while those who came legally have to wait longer in line to get their turn. Does this make any sense to you?

No? Too bad! This is the kind of sheer hypocrisy that the president and members from both houses of Congress have agreed to. We already know how easy it is to cross the border, get a job and a home, and get free healthcare and other social services at the expense of AMERICAN TAXPAYERS! Now they want to take this one step further by giving them a free ride to citizenship.

Did I mention they get free college?

Yesterday afternoon, President Bush made a statement on the ideal. He said, "The agreement reached today is one that will help enforce our borders, but equally importantly, it will treat people with respect. This is a bill where people who live here in our country will be treated without amnesty but without animosity."

Of course it's amnesty! They announced that over 12 million people that are illegally in this country will be rewarded with permanent residency and eventual citizenship because they broke the law by ILLEGALLY CROSSING THE BORDER.

History repeats itself, and this is no exception. Remember the last amnesty plan set in place 21 years ago? The effect of that was the biggest wave of illegal immigration that we have seen in the history of the country. And for somebody to think that anyone can just build a wall tall enough while giving millions of illegals reward just for being here illegally is just absurd.

All they're doing with this announcement is encouraging even more illegal immigration than anything that has ever been done in this country. Sadly, we are going to see the impact on the border and in our neighborhoods.

While all of this goes on, legal immigrants like me have to wait in line years longer to get their citizenship. "Sorry you can't become a citizen. Maybe you should have jumped the border illegally. That would put you in a much better spot."

The president said that the legislation would require these illegals to "learn English." Yeah, we all got lost in a city before and pulled over to a guy on the street and asked for directions. We were greeted with a "NO ENGLISH NO ENGLISH." If they can learn two words, they can learn to speak in complete sentences. Does the government want them to learn English? If they did, we wouldn't have to press 1 on the dial tone for English and bilingual legal documents would cease to exist. We don't even have to vote in English if we don't want to!

After 9/11, there has been a push to protect our borders and tighten our security so we won't have another major catastrophe like that one. End result is you're a terrorist if you're on an airplane with a water bottle and some shaving creme, but America's legs are open to thousands of border jumpers every day.

All we'll see is another mass exodus of impoverished bums from Mexico. Yeah, like we don't have enough of THAT already. And here's the worst part: if they're citizens, they'll be able to VOTE. By voting, they'll just bring this country lower and lower.

If we want to see a national policy of cultural corruption, we will have millions of people being rewarded in front of the entire world. But most important, in front of our children just because we were too lazy to do the right thing, and that is crack down on illegal immigration and the employers who are profiteering from it.

Neither the true patriots nor the legal immigrants support hypocrisy to this degree, and neither should you.
