Immigration is last on my list, though it is an important issue.
Talk about misplaced priorities.
How many of those illegals are gaining access to our healthcare system, schools, and the very social security system you believe is so endangered??
And the very same lax border security measures that have permitted 10% of Mexico to wind up living illegally in the US is the same system that failed to monitor Islamic students overstaying their visas and plotting the murder of 30,000 Americans on 9/11 (which would have resulted had those planes hit an hour later).
And it's amazing that you put Russia, Venezuela, and North Korea into the same category as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran..
So far as I know, neither Russia, nor Venezuela, nor even N. Korea, have attacked the US. And for that matter, with regard to N. Korea, there aren't even any binding UN resolutions levied against them or their nuclear program (as was the case with Iran after their invasion of Kuwait).
Iran HAS supported terrorist groups that have attacked Americans (Hizballah and the Mahdi Army, as well lending support to Al Qai'da in Iraq). Afghanistan's Taliban government DID harbor the people who attacked us on 9/11. They should be FIRST on your list.
Venezuela and Russia are much more conciliatory now that oil prices have dramatically declined. Chavez has made overtures towards the US because he knows he requires our technology to support his oil fields (from which he derives the revenue for his socialist dream).
We need to worry about knowing who is in our country and preventing those political forces who wish to dilute our American sovereignty by conveying the same entitlements upon illegal immigrants as if they were citizens. I'm ALL FOR LEGAL IMMIGRATION.. I want SKILLED workers who wish to become US citizens (with all that requires), not the people who merely want to milk our society for its benefits and then transfer them back home.
You need to rethink your priorities, my friend.
