And then turned around and let them go. Our government is not serious about stoping Illegal immigration. They just put on that show because they were feeling the heat from the American people. The government is selling us out at 2000 dollars a head.

I Agree W/ joevette\n\nAs Far As Getting Illegals OUT\n\nIf Congress were to pass a law that said, quite simply, that the CEO (ANY EMPLOYER) of any business that was caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - \nNO EXCEPTIONS - \nThen within a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying to get out of the United States And Back To Whatever Country They Came From. \n\nThey Wont Stay If They Cant Work\nNO Deportation Costs\nAnd They Wont Come Back\n\nTo baldowolf316- You Are Correct About An Invasion\nThis Is Economic Terrorism\n\nInstead of calling it ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, We SHOULD be calling it a FOREIGN INVASION, because the CONSEQUENSES of this INVASION are as Terminal to our Freedoms and to our way of life as ANY act of Terrorism ever perpetrated against us!\n \n(For The Past 25 Years Or So) The U.S. is being Invaded by People from Another Nation \n\nThey Aren't Citizens --They  Don't pay the taxes --\n\nTheir ALLEGIENCE  is to their HOME COUNTRIES. \n\nThese Invaders are causing a BLEEDING in the System. As invaders, they're NOT Playing by the same rules as the Citizens. \n***(For example, instead of spending the money they make in the Nation they've invaded, much of the money is sent back to their own nation.)*** \nIn effect, they are LOOTING the Treasury of the United States as surely as if they went to Fort Knox and loaded up all our gold bullion on trucks and drove to Tijuana with it. \n\nThe Invaders are also TAKING more in the way of SERVICES  than they pay into the System. This is so, because many of them work under the table and **Don't Pay Income Taxes,** which largely support the U.S.\n\nThis leads to a WEAKENING of the SYSTEM.

There is a way to stop it but Americans are too lazy to do it.  Look at how effective the united protests by the Mexicans were?  Americans have a propensity to just sit on their butts and complain without taking any action.  If millions gathered throughout the U.S. to protest illegal immigration, our politicians would take notice and do something fast.  Remember, there is an election coming, and politicians care more about votes than anything else.

JP, I totally believe there is something else going on....\n\notherwise why would our government shut their eyes to the desires of Americans and coddle illegals?

Our Senators said F.U. the American people.  I so agree with Godzilla.  Also think about this, how many more illegal women are thinking of getting knocked up while here as a guest worker.  They are supposed to go home after two years,  how are we going to make them go home if they have a bunch of American kids? We need to revoke that privilege if we are to curtail further illegal immigration. If an illegal alien has a child here, that child should be the nationality of the mother's home country.   They may start to think twice about coming here if we do that in conjunction with tighter security at the border, and making it a felony for an employer to knowingly hire illegals. We can't just have more border patrol agents because guess what, the word has already gone to Mexico and even more are going to come storm our border to nullify to new additions to the B.P.  What do we do now?

I think everyone is being too hard on you quite honestly. It's a good question and I understand the gist of what you are asking. More and more the government is becoming accepting of illegal immigrants. As you may know, this has been in the news alot lately. Illegal immigrants can come from any country including the middle east. I think we should be cracking down on illegal immigrants more...especially after 911 but unfortunately it seems to be going the other way. We seem to be letting more of them in and looking the other way. Why? Illegal Aliens are often times cheap labor for many companies in the USA. \n\nI don't think the main concern is that they may gather information because as many people have pointed out, they can do that on the Internet from anywhere in the world. I think the main concern is that terrorists will come in an act on the threats they've been making as they did on 911. \n\nI'm no expert but that is my take on it and I hope that helped a bit.

I'm with you, the gov't stood by and let it happen, all in the name of big business.  Now that they're scared of getting booted out of office... oh yeah NOW they start to pay attention.  Politicians don't care about us, they only care about power and money.

Yeah the US gov' is also selling out to the illegals,  the chunnel may noy have been that good an idea after all.

I just saw it and am disgusted.  How dare they try to justify their causes with such antics.  They are illegals and should not even have the right to protest to Americans in their own lawful land.  Congress should be ashamed to have let this happen.  Why should I as a taxpayer be subjected to such disrespect?  I do however feel its a hopeless case at this point.  Something should have been done long ago.  The problem has gotten way out of hand and I do not see a resolution happening anytime soon.  I live in Los Angeles and everything is in spanish, my TIVO even has started recording some daytime soap on the 'Univision' spanish network.

They come here, illegally, then it is very easy for them to just break law after law. They will do what ever they can to stay here. They justify this by saying that living here is their human right, or that our laws are out dated, even calling our laws silly, and well its just a very small laws. They try to sell themselves as, just poor wanting a better life. Oh yes they do get a few to feel sorry for them, but we must never stop telling Washington, that we want our immigration laws enforced, we want those that hire them fined, we want anyone renting to illegal immigrants fined, and we want all those in this country illegally deported. If not we will find someone in Nov. of 2008 who will do the job.

Agree with Terry, we need to make a statement.  The people who protested against the immigration laws, some were illegal foreigners, some were legal and some were US Citizens. The political parties making the decisions on this are adding up the votes! I don't think we can kick out all working illegal immigrates, it could hurt America and it is really not human.  We can close the borders though and we can make the ones here pay for the process to make them legal and also we can make them pay taxes as we do. If they choose to send what they make back to Mexico or wherever their home country is, they have that right. Many people seem to be so one sided. Have you stopped to think what tax benefits the US would gain by taxing ten million plus immigrates that are currently not paying taxes?

THEY (legal and non legal immigrants) threw out the race card first.  Notice they are all for breaking the law?  They want a free ticket in to this country, expect to be handed jobs and  health benefits (free, I might add) automatically, and so far our government has obliged them.  It doesn't look like our goverment is really against illegal immigration.  It's a lie and a sad thing.  I am totally against illegal immigration.  If you want to come here that's great I'm not against that, just do it legally.

I agree in so much that these illegals will drag America down. They can't get their own country in order, so they are trying to come here to America and screw us all up. They need to protest their own government, not ours! The problem is that the Mexican government would not tolerate what they do here, and actually encourages them to come here due to the billions of US dollars they send back. Crazy as a Fox? You bet your a$$!

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

Funny thing is, I've seen this happen.  They jumped off of the second floor roof!  All but 6 got away.  Wow, you almost made me feel sorry for illegals.

No, they've just been snowed by a government voted in people who believe that xenophobia is the answer to everything, and that that should be exported.  No compassion for fellow person (unless they have money ), and a little too much evangelical religion in places it doesn't belong.  The first fight they need to do is actually listen to what candidates are saying, decide how much is bs and how much is the truth, eliminate anything that is prefaced by 9-11, god, country, truth, and listen to what is prefaced by real people words.  They keep throwing bones to the masses (like the now internal crisis of illegal mexicans - like that's not new - and North Korea - which is a scary thing to get back into).  Good luck on this one.
