Have Progressives staked out any common ground on immigration reform? [View All]

On so many things --- from the Iraq War fiasco, to choice, the environment, separation of church and state, etc. we share a common vision and perspective, even if we differ on which candidates we support.

Yet on immigration reform, it seems the universe is all topsy turvy. On this one issue, Shrub's position seems more aligned with progressives then neo-cons. And even within the progressive ranks, there seems to be a wide range of views with lots of it relating to geography. Those that live in boarder states have a different stake in the action then those who live in middle America.

I don't care how high or how many walls we build between us and them...walls eventually do and WILL come down. People will always figure out a way to go under or over them. It seems the best course is to figure out ways to ensure that undocumented workers contribute equally for the services we all enjoy --- and to provide an eventual path that leads to an equal playing field. A path to (tax paying) citizenship. Then they can become part of the solution and/or the opposition to how the corrupt BushCo regime spends our tax dollars.


QUESTION: Are we Progressives all over the board on immigration reform, or do you think there is common ground?
