Chewin in the Chung

I was reading the link in Robin's latest post, and found myself fascinated by the image of Bill Frist on the right, asking readers to "Help Me Secure Our Borders". I didn't know Bill Frist was an M.D., and never let it be said that I don't do my part to secure Our Borders. So I clicked on it. That took me to a questionnaire titled Legislative Priorities Project. Man, I love questionnaires, especially questionnaires that help secure borders. I can't figure out how to link directly to it, so here are the questions:

==============================================================
Border Security II

1.
Do you believe we are spending enough money to protect our borders?

Yes No

2.
Do you believe our laws prohibiting American companies from hiring illegal aliens are properly enforced?

Yes No

3.
Do you think we need to find a legal way to satisfy businesses labor needs?

Yes No

4.
Do you believe that the relatively inexpensive labor contributed by immigrants helps the American economy?

Yes No

5.
Do you believe American support for economic development in Central and South America will stem northward migration for jobs?

Yes No

6.
Do you believe that free trade agreements between the United States and countries in our hemisphere ? like NAFTA and CAFTA ? will decrease the flow of illegal immigration over time?

Yes No

7.
Do you believe that "earned adjustment" is amnesty?

Yes No

8.
Do you believe that immigrants are being taught American values and history sufficiently?

Yes No

9.
Do you believe the Mexican government is doing enough to stop trafficking of illegal immigrants into the United States?

Yes No

10.
Do you believe that terrorists are infiltrating or are seeking to infiltrate our borders with Mexico and Canada?

Yes No

11.
Do you believe that the United States should construct a wall or barrier along our border with Mexico?

Yes No

12.
Do you believe that the government should spend whatever money it takes to locate and deport all 11 million legal immigrants from the U.S.?

Yes

No

==============================================================

A bunch of those questions kind of confuse me, but #12 is especially perplexing. I'm not saying we shouldn't deport 11 million legal immigrants, especially if Freedom Victory is involved. But I think I'm going to need to hear more arguments as to how that's going to help. And if we are going to deport legal immigrants, then maybe we should go ahead and start deporting the descendents of legal immigrants too.
