Carl Sheeler on Immigration

Democratic Senate Challenger

Discriminating against immigrants is false justification

Throughout our country's history we have both embraced and discriminated against new arrivals. Whether it has been Italians, Irish, Asians or Latinos, there was always some "justification" of lost jobs and reduction of safety. If folks are undocumented, then let's get them documented and on their way to becoming citizens and paying taxes and contributing. We do need good domestic security, but it begins with intelligent thinking, not bureaucratic BS and political targets. Source: Campaign website, www.carlsheeler.com, "Policies" Feb 22, 2006
