Immigration should be like a game of tag... if you can make it to home base before they get you, you're "safe."

If you touch the shore, with at least one limb, before they stop you... then you get to be an American. Worked for the Founding Fathers. [And I don't even think the new guys would kill everybody here with TB or VD. So they're better than the Founding Fathers. You know, in that respect.] And anybody who's not Native American Indian, well, you are, or are descended from immigrants. "Legal" and "illegal." So please, if you're anti-immigration, just STFU.

"As soccer superstar David Beckham kicks off the Los Angeles Galaxy's 2008 season, Drew Carey asks what this says about immigration in the U.S. in a new reason.tv video.

While workers from Mexico draw the ire and fiery rhetoric of anti-immigration forces, there was no outrage or concern when the English-speaking soccer hero brought his family and curling free kicks to America.

"I think we should welcome all peaceful people to our country,” says Drew Carey. "They get to the pursue the 'American Dream' and we get to benefit from all the wonderful things that immigrants bring to our country—like good old fashioned soccer. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.""
