Dual Citizenship is define by treaty. For all the problems with illegal immigration, I fear Green-carders more. Illegal immigrants WANT to be here. Green-carders think it is beneath them to apply for citisenship and look at becoming American with disdain. Yet they stay for decades and never learn the language. That attitude of disdain harbors terrorists more than illegals and it is the Green-carders who set up and maintain anti-assimilationist institutions. The jet plane and the satellite dish have changed the old paradigm of assimilation. I believe Green Cards should be limited to seven years, unrenewably and require an English test. It is ironic that this suggestion, what I see as "moderate" reform, seems lost in the fog of the opposing extremes. But if you look at how Giuliani's policing quality-of-life crimes reduced crime overall (because they guy who littered also committed other crimes), you should suspect Green-card reform would solve more problems in the long run. Don't think the old granma housing illegals and teaching them to hate America is really as harmless as she looks; Without her, the terrorists would be homeless and perhaps uninspired and she is sneaking hate fliers into the prayerbooks in the guise of cleaning them. Then think of something else: is one Kerry/Blue voter worth two Bush/Red voters? Well, congressional reapportionment doesn't just count citisens, it also counts legal and illegal aliens. THey may not vote, but they are used to weight the legislative vote. In fact, urban political machines play this up by setting up unelected "neighborhood" organisations to herd immigrants, delay their assimilation, but keep them vocal enough to frighten conservatives into inaction. Lincoln objected that slave states could count non-voting slaves as 3/5 a person to up their census count for reapportionment. Well, today, illegal aliens count in the census for reapportionment. The LiverHole DumbOClucks, ever since Andrew Jackson, have been wise to this. This is why they fund "neighborhood action" groups for every ethnic minority, to keep them from learning English, from becoming citisens, from assimilating, from straying too far, but most importantly from VOTING. See, if they become Americans, they just might have a mind of their own and vote the rascals out.
