Both Bush and Obama make me sick.

This isn't even to speak of the fact that it's a WILLFUL ECONOMIC TRADE. Remittances are funded through a private willful transaction. If I buy a car from you (I give you money that you want more than the car and you give me a car that I want more than the money) I can do whatever the hell I want with that car. If we're going to start nitpicking what people do with their money (and/or making it a national policy discussion) then let's talk about the billions Americans send to the porn industry; TV & Entertainment industry-- shouldn't we be feeding the poor and all that? We can argue moral excess, we can argue that money's 'wasted' on drugs, we can argue (and we do, unfortunately) that the food we buy doesn't have the right daily percentage of sodium. As if you can spend it better than them.
And all that's not to mention the fact that an automatic strawberry-picking machine doesn't make sense in the context of a plethora of cheap labour. Make labour more expensive and it will likely be replaced by technology.
The economic reasons to be pissed off about immigration just do not hold water. Nationalistic? Fine. Racist, even? Fine. Just don't pretend that there's a logical base for your position.

It's hard to know quite what to say, however, about your suggestion that he's a 'horrible father.' The hate that your position breathes is exactly why the media and liberals have such an easy time crying 'racist.'

Legal contract-- to each other. My wife doesn't need my SSN to 'do business with me' and I doubt that's been a concern for any member of a couple reading this.
Sometimes, even Libertarians and (more often) Republicans mistakenly think that more government is the answer.

Reverse racism, something sabian isn't apparently aware of, is unfortunately alive and well. However, if you rephrase your query more semantically, you get '…why it's not racist when Mexicans…' which is obvious: Mexican is not a race.

Re: Rights-- You like America. I like America. Let's see how America stands on this issue: "We hold these truths to be self-evident [not granted by the state, but protected from the state] that all men [not just citizens] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator [again, not their state] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
It could be argued that marriage does not fall under 'unalienable Rights,' but last I was concerned, a marriage is a religious tradition that has been sort of corrupted and sucked into law (a good reason for the separation of Church and State), and so I am not convinced.
Re: "Become a citizen": How? It is nearly impossible for most to immigrate legally. The entire process, if one even makes it through-- much less one's family-- takes anywhere from 10 to 15 *years*. You're either not married or aren't being true to yourself; how long did you wait for your wife? You think waiting 10-15 years for some bureaucrats to file paperwork is a viable solution to this problem?

Wow. For being born on the wrong side of an imaginary line. I'm all for law and order, but that's because I'm not into the whole 'animal' thing… Not despite it.

(To your other points, though, absolutely. I'd actually say your list is a bit short)
