"The fact remains there's still 7 million illegal aliens occupying jobs that should go to American citizens. It's nowhere near mission accomplished." --Bob Dane, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, as quoted in the Los Angeles Times

There are so many misconceptions packed into this one short statement that it's, in some sense, a masterpiece of concision. I don't even know where to start unpacking and refuting them all. I just want to flippantly reply, "So give them all American citizenship. Problem solved!"

Oh, hell no to American citizenship--that's a privilege reserved for God's chosen people, Americans!

If the problem's really about Americans not having jobs, then why don't we just revoke the millions of long-term US work visas and green cards that have been issued to non-citizens? Problem solved!
