i do not believe it has anything to do with racism , to want our borders closed. the key word here is illegal. things have to be done in a proper manner.. we have to take care of the people in our own back yards first.. and although we should remain compassionate, we can not carry the burden,if other countries are mistreating their citizens so much that they seek asylum here. this is a classic example of charity needing to begin at home. once we have erased poverty and issues faced by Americans then we can look elsewhere. this is what homeland security should be all about. and please do  not get this confused with having to step up to the plate from time to time to send adequate aid the victims of disasters etc. if reasonable.

Bush is trying to play the American people for fools.  He is not serious about stopping illegal immigration and never has been.  If you have doubts examine his proposal for a guest worker program.  This program is a way to ensure a permanent supply of cheap labor for the business elite, whom he represents.  Sending troops to the border won't solve the problem, and he knows it.  Again, just trying to play Americans for fools.  Proposing an ammendment to have English be the official language does NOTHING to solve the problem.  It's just Bush telling the American people, "Oh, you're upset because my corporate buddies are taking away your jobs and giving them to foreigners to increase their profits, here I'll throw you this bone, maybe you'll settle down, and we can all go back to screwing you in the butt."  And all the while, he has the audacity to propagate lies like " the illegals are doing jobs Americans don't want."  I think it's time for all Americans to wake up and see what our government is doing to us and whose interests they are really looking out for.

I don't think that is what is going on at all. You people are missing George Bush's Republican politics. It's always about the Republican agenda. The Bush Administration is ruled by the base, and they don't like Mexicans. You people should know that by now after all of the bashing you have been getting. These people are bigots and racists, they actually hate other races, and they have been telling you this all along. Republicans hate Democrats too, it's being said every minute on these web pages. I am a Democrat, and I am a Liberal with my politics, and the Latinos should just be signed up, and the employers should be convicted of their crimes. I don't see why people that have been used and abused should suffer for the crimes of American criminals. You shouldn't. I wouldn't worry about any of it, because George Bush isn't going to do anything about it anyway, he is liar on most issues. Why should this one be any different, he is just talking to his stupid base, that will listen, for votes in November. The best thing the Latinos can do is vote Democrat, to get a reasonable legislation passed by Democrats, that will protect Civil Rights of all the people, including illegal immigrants. I wouldn't turn myself in at all, that would be stupid to trust these liars, they want to stab you all in the back like everybody else.

Well, for one thing, he claims to love this country, but what he really means is that he loves those in this country who kow-tow to his thinking, and he relegates anyone who disagrees with him to be no different than UBL.\n\nThis is a guy who said on national radio that because San Francisco residents had the sheer temerity to vote for something he didn't like, that Al Queda would be welcome to blow up the city.  Last time I looked, San Francisco was part of the US, just as much as Kansas or Wisconsin.  He says that people who want peace are traitors, but he is the one calling in strikes on US citizens.\n\nHe's arrogant, he lies incessently, and he has no tolerance for anyone who dares to disagree or, worse, tell him he is wrong.\n\nIf ever was a case for limits on the First Amemdment, it's him and his personal lap dog, Ann Coulter.

Excellent article..\nExcellent point..\nI agree 100%...\nUnfortunately, No president since Dwight  Eisenhower has \ndone his duty in defending our borders against illegal immigrants.\nShame on all of them for this betrayal of their sworn duty...

You know, that is so funny that you posted this.  I posted a question just like this and people called ME a racist and I am an immigrant from the Ukraine!  I am not even WHITE!!!  I posted the websites for hispanics for legal immigration, Vietnamese for immigration reform, etc.\nHEre's a letter from a retired Border Patrol Agent who had the balls to say it like it is!\nA retired border patrol agent shows some common sense\n\n    This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border \npatrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed \nfrom the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives.\n\n    Dear Senator Frist:\n\n    There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal \naliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran \naliens.\n\n    #1.\n    Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are \nvery vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. \nMexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home \ncountries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as \nemployment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing \nand free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment \nand their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and \nsubsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits \nof American residence without paying the price.\n\n    #2.\n    There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs \nthat Americans can't take and still support their families. Illegal aliens \ntake low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses \nand send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't \ndo for a decent wage.\n\n    #3.\n    Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT \nhomeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries. \nThey come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 \nbillion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These \nillegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of \nthe law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those \nwho brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on \nbehalf of their children.\n\n    #4.\n    Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens \nconstitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and \nbenefits for lawful U.S. residents.\n\n    #5.\n    This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born \nAmericans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by \nimmigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on \nthis planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.\n\n    #6.\n    The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are \nnot immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every \nyear than the rest of the world combined.\n\n    #7.\n    There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white, \nbrown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, \nDemocrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called \n"Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic \nvote is a dead end.\n\n    #8.\n    Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have \nresented the United States. During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies \nto operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During World War II Mexico \nallowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from Mexico. During the Cold War \nMexico allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely. The attack on \nthe Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today \nMexican

That is a crock!! I personally do not believe there is a job an AMERICAN won't do. I have watched  " Dirtiest Jobs" on TV and I see AMERICANS cleaning out cesspools, replacing pumps in cesspools, crawling through pipes underground where there are cockroaches and big, fat RATS, picking up dead animal carcasses on the highways. I never see a Mexican do those jobs. I have a family member who works in the sanitation station in our city, he's white. Our president is speaking out of turn when he says that. He has no idea what American do or will do to take care of their families.

If idiots could fly, this would be an airport! All these illegal supporters - listen to yourselves! You want to blame other people for the illegals getting bogus SS cards? Law abiding citizens (Pancha, pay attention!) will say no to a criminal act, whereas the criminal does what comes naturally to them - they break the law! Enter illegally... get bogus SS cards & screw over law abiding Americans... try to downplay it by saying it's minimal... this is what we law abiding people call the "criminal mentality". And yes, you all have it! Have a nice night!

Yeppers, november can't get here fast enough...and if the democrats have their hats on straight, they'll be pushing for nailing the damn border shut. TIGHT. Americans are getting robbed, that's all there is to it, the politicians got us coming, and going, it's time for reform, and for people to reclaim their lives, their wallets, their freedoms, and stop letting the hispanic lobby from trying to usurp our national independence. They're actively involved in our government, as you just illustrated, and Mexico needs to stand up, and wipe its' own ass instead of living off the United States Of America. Let's de-globalize a bit, and let the rest of the world take care of itself, for a change. If they can't, well, sucks to be them...

I Agree With You\nIve Been Making A STRONG STAND Against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION In The Last Few Days \n\nThese Issues Are NOT ABOUT RACE Or HATE\nIts About ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS(KEY WORD HERE Is ILLEGAL)\n\nThe ONLY Ones I Find Claiming RACISM Are Alot Of The Latinos\nI Am Not A Hater\nBut I An NOT HAPPY With The Methods Of This Protest\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Latin American Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nWhos The Racists??\n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \n\nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE \n\nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag \n\nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \n\nAnd The Pockets Of My AMERICAN BROTHERS Of ANY DESCENT \n\n\nWelcome To AMERICA

True, true, Hayley... Pancha DOES have voices in her head. What we need is a three pronged attack to this problem (let's get tactical!). First: The border needs to be sealed with a combination of high tech walls and fences, with multiple sensors and cameras. It has to be manned by both the Border Patrol and the National Guard due to the escorts from the Federales and Mexican army - they have the Border Patrol outgunned and are already firing on our Law Enforcement personnel. Second: We need get rid of the illegals. To try and catch 20 million at one time is not feasible. We conduct raids and deport the ones we find. We give our Law Enforcement around the country the tools they need to question suspected illegals and arrest them if necessary. As it stands now, most Police Departments in our major cities have directives that direct the Officers NOT to question a suspect (or person of interest) as to their resident status. We can't expect them to do their job if we make them work with their hands tied behind their backs. Third: We need to come down like a ton of bricks on the employers that continue to hire illegals. If we start handing out some big fines, and possibly prison, they will stop hiring these fleabags for hardly any money. If they stop hiring, then the well dries up, and they stop coming over, and the others go home to whatever rock it was that they climbed out from under. As an afterthought, the Federal Government should look into some of these elected officials in California speaking of "civil war" and taking over. I believe the English term for that is "Treason"!\nThen maybe after puking these mutts out, I can go to Home Depot and buy something that is printed entirely in English! Oh, what a wonderful world it would be!!

I have a friend in the restaurant business who is a American/ Mexican. She is open today and cutting all her lunch and dinner prices in half. She's anti- illegal immigrants and very outspoken about it. She know more of what damage illegal immigration is doing to this country and she tell it to everyone.

I think I like this kind of talk\nBottom line: The issue may come down to what one veteran pollster called "sequencing" -- where voters want the government to demonstrate that it's serious about reducing illegal immigration before legalizing 12 million people. That would mean first controlling the border and creating a tamper-proof citizenship card so that employers who hire illegal workers can be prosecuted then assembling a legalization plan.  \n\nI could definitely live with this.Thanks for the great information\nIn the words of that great sage Yogi Berra(not sure of the spelling)\n"It ain't over till its over"

Maybe you would like to modify your question with actual news items from which you cite your quotes. I, for one, put no evil past the US and British corrupt governments, they have proven themselves to be liars, traitors, and thieves. But many Americans still refuse to believe their own eyes and ears. I hope they wake up soon, before we have no liberty left.                              And Richbro, anyone who would quote the likes of Ann Coulter (another treasonous pig) to support an indefensible and irrational opinion probably deserves to share with her the fate she would wish upon others.

Most definitely ! Reminds me of an old FDR quote during WW2.\n\nIt is a shame some Americans don't understand or support that quote. However, I think most Americans would agree.
