In order for us to address the distinctions you allude to would be for us to have comprehensive immigration reform. <\/p>\n<p>The lack of progress and the U.S. Congress&#8217; failure to act has lead to what John McCain calls &#8220;Silent Amnesty&#8221;. It perpetuates the status quo of a broken system. <\/p>\n<p>Have a good day. <\/p>\n<p>Jerry Gonzalez<br \/>\nExecutive Director<br \/>\nGeorgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO) &#038; the GALEO Latino Community Development Fund<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;Original Message&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nFrom: Scott Bachelder [mailto:sbachelder@yahoo.com]<br \/>\nSent: Friday, August 03, 2007 8:36 AM<br \/>\nTo: jerry@galeo.org<br \/>\nSubject: A suggestion. <\/p>\n<p>Hello: <\/p>\n<p>Maybe some of us non-latino citizens would take you more seriously if you distinguished between <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/html\/uscode08\/usc_sec_08_00001325----000-.html\">&#8220;legal&#8221; and &#8220;Illegal&#8221; immigrants<\/a>.
