Let's be honest. Will it really matter who will become president? Granted it could not get much worth than with Bush, who managed to alienate pretty much the entire world. Let's turn him over to the extremists, I'll bet they would have a field day.

I hate to say it, but in the end will it really matter who will eventually be elected? As of right now, we have little left to be proud of; rarely anyone likes us...most, if not many hate us.

Not us the people, as I have been told many a times during my years of travelling the world. No, it's our government supid, who the world despises and fixing that is a mighty tall order.

Besides the economy, the main pet peeve seems to be immigration, or rather illegal immigration.
I think most of us, including our "wanna be" presidential hopefuls, seem not to get it.

There is nothing wrong with immigration except WHO we allow to enter our country. That's right - we need, no we MUST be selective of whom we allow to enter and stay. Let's face it, you let an uneducated, unskilled personm enter the country and what do you get?

I am sure most of yiou are bright enough, or at least I hope so, that you can figure that out. Yes, we need immigrants - somebody got to do the work - but we don't need just anybody, we need SKILLED people who can contribute as soon as they enter the country.

Here are a very few preconditions under which we ONLY only should allow immigrants to enter
I already hear calls of racism. Not at all, I am talking about thinking in practical terms of what WE, the US needs from peo[ple it allows to enter and stay here.

PRECONDITIONS:

1. You must speak, write and be able to communicate in English, no ifs or buts about it

2.
