A poem is not policy. 

Our immigration laws changed drastically in 1965 by a bill proposed by Ted Kennedy. Our policy should promote our national interests. The 1965 law opened the floodgates to people who had little to offer in the way of economic improvement, instead adding to the Democratic base. This is NOT a good policy for our country.

BTW, during the Obama Administration, the state of Arizona wished to curtail the scourge of unchecked illegal immigration on its citizens, but was told that immigration policy is a Federal responsibility, not something for states to solved. And now we're being told by Rahm Emanuel that it is up to the cities and states to make policy, not the Federal Government.

More and more, this schizophrenic approach by the Left leads me to only one conclusion - Liberalism is a mental disorder.
