Since our country is engaged in a war on terror and we know, or should know, that there are terrorists in our country illegally (see Congressional Report, "A Line in the Sand," *), if Congress grants blanket legalization or amnesty to all illegal aliens at this time, isn't that treason?
If not, why not?

So far, no member of Congress (House or Senate), the Justice Department, the US Attorney's Office, or the White House will touch this question with a borrowed hand, the chicken$#|+ jackals!

If we grant blanket amnesty to all illegal aliens, including some terrorists who are here illegally, that gives those terrorists more freedom to be at liberty in public, making them more confident and effective.
Isn't that aiding the enemy?

My immigration solution is pretty comprehensive and does NOT grant blanket amnesty:

legally and by definition no its not but it is moral treason against all the honest taxpaying citizens. congress are a bunch of self righteous jack asis, If the actually believe that legalizing the immigrants will stop them from still coming here
and then when its all done the company's hiring the illegals will just wait for the batch to come across and hire them for the cheaper wage again

Okay, let's see...
A. They are cheap labor which our country needs for the economy, so we can't deport them.
B. They are cheap because they work at slave wages, being illegal and not paying taxes.
C. It's unfair to allow them to be exploited this way.
Therefore, we're going to stop making them illegal.
Why am I better off if our cheap labor becomes legal and expensive than I would be if you sent them all back home?

No. Not doing anything one way or the other and leaving us with no visibility as to who the illegal aliens are would be treason.

1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
Where does treason fit in here? Who is guilty of treason here? You need to ponder your questions longer before submitting them to this forum, otherwise you are just another extremist ranter.

Illegal aliens = illegal cheap labor. Legal aliens = legal cheap labor.

Moron, it isn't amnesty. Also, that little bill they are trying to pass isn't going to fix immigration. It is just going to make the problem worse.
Let me ask you this. What are they going to do if this immigration bill doesn't fix the problem?
