"I supported and was prepared to vote for amnesty from 1986. And it is essential to have immigration reform. Anyone who has been in this country for five or six years, who's paid their taxes, who has stayed out of trouble, ought to be able to translate into an American citizenship immediately, not waiting."

- John Kerry

I want this guy to be president! He is talking about giving citizenship to any immigrants that has been here for 5 to 6 years, even illegal immigrants... It seems a little extreme, though. This is the problem in this country, immigration is not tough enough for illegal immigrants but too tough for legal immigrants. Cross the Mexican border to work illegaly in Texas, California or New Mexico and you will end up a US citizen. Be a high-qualified engineer working under H1-B visa and you are not better than a "foreign worker stealing american jobs" even though they would be more or less no high-tech industry without people like you.

Anyways, once again, GO KERRY!
