quote from cited link\nquote\nsmuggling\nThe US Government estimates that 500,000 illegal migrants are brought into the United States annually by organized alien smuggling networks; another estimated half-million enter without the assistance of alien smugglers. Most illegal migrants enter the United States overland from Mexico or Canada. \nAccording to US Government estimates, some 500,000 to 600,000 illegal migrants who entered the United States in 1999 were Mexican nationals, and another 225,000 were Central American nationals. \nChinese smugglers, known as snakeheads, often move aliens into the United States by maritime vessels, including offshore transfers of migrants, but also transit South and Central America, Mexico, and Canada. The US Government estimates that 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese were smuggled into the United States in 1999. \nAlien smuggling contributes to the broader problem of increasing numbers of foreign nationals illegally resident in the United States, as well as in other relatively prosperous countries, who are straining social and economic resources and contributing to rising crime and anti-immigrant sentiment. Illegal aliens undermine wages and working conditions for legal employees, increasing the potential health and safety risks to the work force. Illegal immigration also increases the burden and cost of some government social programs. \nunquote\n\nhttp://www.fas.org/irp/threat/pub45270chap2.html#4\n\nnote: and stop being so focused on mexico\nhere link topeople smuggling in England\nexerpt from cited link\nquote\nThe illegal immigrants, smuggled in from the Kurdish areas of Turkey, pay between £3,000 and £5,000 for journeys which often take months, said police. \nunquote\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4329374.stm\n\nAND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....ever hear of MS13??\nquote from cited link\nquote\nIn Texas and the Rio Grande area, MS-13 has become particularly profitable.  U.S. and Mexican authorities acknowledge that MS-13 has been heavily involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking operations.  They estimate that there are over 200 active cells (cells are groups of at least 20 members) operating in the states that border Mexico.  Rumors abound concerning high-profile terrorist organizations contacting MS-13 for assistance in crossing borders in these areas.\nunquote\nhttp://www.altereddimensions.net/crime/MS13Gang.htm\n\nIF YOU LOOK AT ONLY ONE LINK...the third one ...about ms13 is most enlightening.\ntoo much focus on Mexicans.\nThere are a whole bunch of other people entering the US illegally.

From the other side of the fence..... \n\n\nReceived from (Tom O'Malley) who was a Director with SW BELL in Mexico City: \n\n\nI spent five years working in Mexico. \n\nI worked under a tourist Visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working Illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval. \n\nDuring that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the \nsame except hers did not permit her to work. \n\nTo apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my: \n\n1. Birth certificate for Barbara and I. \n\n2. Marriage certificate. \n\n3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation. \n\n4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation. \n\n5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year. \n\n6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indication I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing." \n\n7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican Citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on Earth" letter. It was fun to write. \n\nAll of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder a bout 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on \nthe right. \n\nOnce they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican Attorney touring Mexican Government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location and we \nremember at least four locations we instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the Governments actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we has rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid. \n\nWe could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law. \n\nWe were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the Licensing agency to come to our Headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and \nfingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back. \n\nWe then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. It was about twenty legal size pages annually. \n\nThe FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. \n\nLeaving the country meant turning in the FM3 and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs. \n\nIt was a real adventure and If any of our Senators or Congressman we

Yars: I'm just taking a few minutes in here to say a great big THANK YOU to all the people like you who are on here educating all of us and spreading the truth about the devastation that illegal immigration is causing to the USA! I know you get a lot of backlash from the ignorants who support illegal immigration and even the so-called "poor" illegal immigrants (who, BTW, obviously aren't all so POOR if they are actually on the internet with a computer, in the first place) and yet you keep on here relentlessly stating the facts and telling it like it is. So, THANK YOU, and keep up the good work and don't let any of the illegals and illegal supporters cause you to back down.

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...

Your link drives to an add for a company that collects "a small fee" to send mail. Isn't this against the policies for Yahoo! Answers?\n\nRevised: Keep in mind that President Bush directs policy (he asked for Congress to do something about immigration in his State of the Union Address), but the people who are considering the new laws are your Senators and Representatives. These are the best recipients for any letters you wish to write at this time. Congress will take up the question again after their break having failed to get a law passed on Friday, April 7, as they had hoped. Any letters you write to them now are much more likely to get noticed!

Absolutely you can and you should. You can go the www.whitehouse.gov and click on the president/email and type away. They do read the e-mails. Also you can write to President George W. Bush\n             1616 Pennsylvania Avenue\n             Washington, DC  20001.  I am glad to see you are involved. Also state your concerns to your State Senators and representives both in Washington and in your own state.

I recently read this article in the Chicago Sun Times.  It is both enlightening and scary.  I am living overseas temporarily, but I often wonder what I'll return to when I do come home.  The US is not what it used to be.  Here's the article:\n\nNo easy answers on immigration conundrum \nApril 9, 2006 \nBY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST  \n \nHere's my immigration "compromise": We need to regularize the situation of the 298 million non-undocumented residents of the United States. Right now, we get a lousy deal compared with the 15 million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented American community. I think the 298 million of us in the overdocumented segment of the population should get the chance to be undocumented. You know when President Bush talks about all those undocumented people "living in the shadows"? Doesn't that sound kinda nice? Living in the shadows, no government agencies harassing you for taxes and numbers and paperwork. \nGo ahead, try it. In Michelle Malkin's book Invasion, she recounts the tale of two fellows who in August 2001 pulled into a 7-Eleven parking lot in Falls Church, Va., in search of fake ID from the illegal-alien assistance network that hangs around there. Luis Martinez-Flores, who'd been living here illegally since 1994, took them along to the local DMV, supplied them with a fake address and falsely certified they lived there. The very next day, the two guys returned with two pals of their own, and used their own brand-new state ID on which the ink was not yet dry to obtain in turn brand-new state ID for their buddies. A couple of weeks later, all four of them used their Virginia ID to board American Airlines Flight 77 at Dulles Airport and plowed it into the Pentagon. \nThink about that. From undocumented illegal alien in the 7-Eleven parking lot to lawful resident of the State of Virginia in just a couple of hours. Wow. Say what you like about Luis Martinez-Flores, but he runs one efficient operation. \nBy comparison, say you've got two kids under 5, and you'd like to bring over a nice English nanny to look after them. Name of Mary Poppins. Good references, impeccable character. If you apply now, there's a sporting chance the process may be completed before your children's children are in college. \nGiven that the new immigration "compromise" bill retrospectively approves all the millions of people who've been through the super-efficient Luis Martinez-Flores immigration system but without doing anything to improve the sclerotic U.S. government immigration system, maybe it would be better just to subcontract the entire operation to Senor Martinez-Flores and his colleagues. It would certainly be cheaper. The extensive Undocumented American support network manages to run it out of the back of the car from a parking lot without a lot of air-conditioned offices full of lifetime employees on government pensions, and given that the net result is exactly the same people who'd be living here anyway, why not go with the lowball bid? Legal immigrants to the United States can only envy the swift efficient service Messrs. Hani Hanjour and Khalid Almihdhar received outside that 7-Eleven. \nAll developed countries have immigration issues, but few conduct the entire debate as disingenuously as America does: The president himself has contributed a whole barrelful of weaselly platitudes, beginning with his line that "family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." True. They don't stop at the 49th parallel either. Or the Atlantic shore. Or the Pacific. So where do family values stop? At the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. If you're an American and you marry a Canadian or Belgian or Fijian, the U.S. government can take years to process what's supposed to be a non-discretionary immigration application, in the course of which your spouse will be dependent on various transitional-status forms like

BECAUSE THEY SUCK.  They're here, taking our jobs and using our tax money.  Would Mexico do the same for us?  HELL no.\n\nDear President Bush:\n\nI'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.\n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. \n\nI'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.\n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over?\n\n \n\nPlease let him know that I will be expecting the following:\n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.\n\n \n\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n\n \n\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n\n \n\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.\n\n \n\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.\n\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th.  I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.\n\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.\n\n \n\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.\n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. \n\n \n\nI am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.\n\nHowever, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.\n\nThank you so much for your kind help.

If you agree with the following, send it to your Representative and Senator(s). If you don't agree with all of it, specify what you do agree with when you send them the letter. I hope everyone who reads this will copy this letter and send it to them.\n\nGeorge W. Bush used a recent radio address to denounce the media for disclosing his warrantless wiretaps: "Revealing classified information is illegal, alerts our enemies, and endangers our country." It is illegal to reveal that the federal government is breaking the law? Bush attempted to justify his warrantless wiretaps by invoking a case of two 9/11 hijackers whom the feds failed to trace before the attacks; of course, the justifications were nothing more than transparent excuses to portray himself as "noble in a cause" when he was criminally breaking one of the laws he is supposed to uphold.\n \nIf the judicial branch needs to issue warrants and the like more speedily, then they should do so; it is not necessary to strip people of their rights, the rights that you (and the judges) have sworn to uphold when you swore to uphold the Constitution.\n\nAnd the results of egregious sweeps of alleged "terrorists" is appalling and sickening. Those of Ashcroft alone are utterly disgraceful.\n\n"President" is the title of a servant, not a ruler. If the title is to have respect, it must be earned. Bush apparently thinks that the title is entitlement to do whatever he pleases, and that people who expose his wrongdoings are the criminals, not him. It's time to strip the smug Emperor Bush of his new clothes. \n\nWe are not a democracy, a system of popular vote, not even Congressional vote. We are a Constitutional Republic, a nation of laws -- and certainly not a nation for empire-building, power-seeking figureheads posing as the president of so noble a republic to break its laws and send its young heroes to their death on a false mission in schemes for oil. (It's not Iraq's cinnamon and pickle exports he and his cohorts are after. And obviously it's not bin Laden, either.)\n\nBush has morally raped the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers of our fallen American heroes and additional thousands of American heroes wounded and maimed. He has sent our heroes on a false mission to kill nearly 100,000 citizens of a foreign country we have no business being in. He has pillaged our treasury. He has made America ugly and hated in the eyes of the civilized world.\n\nCongress folk, I could refer you to a dozen learned authors to read. But you have plenty to read already, and need be reading the pork-laden bills you are passing. The Federal Reserve can only print so much funny money. \n\nHere's a suggestion. Instead of convening a committee, "convene" some learned and intelligent people to make you learned, too: invite them to speak before the entire House, the entire Senate. Listen to these people -- not lobbyists, and, at least for a while, not to each other. I've listed a few names at the end of this letter; they can recommend additional names. For yourselves, call it on-the-job training by people who have time to grow in knowledge and then sit and think about such things. Just because you can't know it all by yourselves is no reason you can't learn from those who know a lot, who know more, who know what you need to know.\n\nYou congress-folk must know by now that you cannot trust what Bush tells you. He can't even hold a town hall meeting without staging it, without filling it with kissy-ups and sycophants. When you have real information instead of Bush's neocon spin doctors, tight-lipped press liason, and media press agents, you can make sage decisions, pass Constitutionally-correct bills, and be the people you should be, the people your constituents want you to be, and as decent a human being as your dogs think you are.\n\nAnd to those who may be thinking "You don't know what it's like ar

about 6 months from when you cross the border, assuming that you came legally. If you are here illegally and you have been watching Mexican news on Univision, dont hold your breath. They make it sound like Bush will give papers to all illegal immigrants that are in the US, he does not have the power to do this on his own, the rest of the government has to agree. I dont think that it is very likely.

Come on do you really think it's Bush's doing? I swear the Democrates are hypocrite especially Hilary Clinton. Sean Hannity had a tape of her actually 2 one from months earlier slamming the illegal aliens and a recent one talking about how great they are. My whole problem with all of this is that they are here illegally, why aren't we out arresting them and sticking them on buses and taking them back across the boarder. They are out of control and if we allow them to stay we are just setting ourselves up for future problems. Riots because Gee if we throw a fit and protest then we get our way. What about all the ones over on the other side who are trying to follow our laws and filling out the paper work, is it fair to them. What are we teaching these people? I'll tell you, we are teaching them that it's OK to break our laws, it's OK to protest, well I don't agree, they need to be dealt with and taught that there is no tolerance to those who would break our laws and not follow our rules. I am all for allowing people into our great country, I love my country and I understand why they want to come here but it needs to be done the right way. If it isn't then it will set a president that we won't like and will not be able to live with in the long run. I want people who will follow our laws and respect them. So me that you will do the right thing then I'm all for you coming here.

BEWARE!! Friends of America. \nThe lid is coming off this can of “worms”. \nI know that as this issue gets hotter \nit will turn VERY violent. \nNot by “gringos”, but by the illegal invaders. \n\nThese folks have a vested interest \nin protecting their ability \nto beg, borrow and definitely steal in this country. \nThey are NOT going to go quietly. \n\nOne of these days in the near future, \nthese millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS And Their Advocates\nare going to become berserkers. \n\nIt is the intention of Mexicans to "reclaim" the four border states\nand merge them back with Mexico \nand they are willing to do it with violence. \n\nThese 20 million plus illegals will go on a rampage \nthe minute any serious round up and deportation begins, \nbut it must get done for the very surivival of Our Republic\n\nI predict massive riots, looting, and killing within 2-3 years \nas we try to deport \nand otherwise enforce the laws that are already on the books,\nnot to mention new ones that will be passed in the next 2 years. \n\nSo lock and load, \n\nyes I said it, \n\nbecause what today are knife assaults \ntomorrow will turn into gun attacks on the populace \nas a desperate 20-30 million illegal aliens \nare slowly ushered out of this country on posh jets \nby our mealy mouthed, weak, politically correct administration. \n\nYou will have to keep your kids inside your house \nfor fear of having them shot or abducted by aliens for ransom. \n\nYou will have pot shots being taken \nat the morning rush hour traffic, \n(especially at fancy BMWs Mercedes Lexus’s etc) \nfrom the bushes by disgrunteled \nunemployed ILLEGAL Alien workers. \n\nYou will have 10x increased robberies \nof convenience stores and other small businesses. \nYou will have marauding gangs and carjackers \nroaming the streets at night \nto assault and rob pedestrians \n\nJust wait, \n\na full blown civil war awaits us \nif we manage to “deprive” these people \nof day work, nanny work, hotel work, and agricultural labor jobs. \n\nTalk about Al Quaeda, \nwe will have 20-30 million potential terrorists \nright here in our cities, \nALL with fake ID \nand a network of friends and relatives to help them. \nIt will make the Sunni Triangle \nlook like Central Park, or Balboa Park, on a Sunday afternoon. \n\nIt’s coming. \n\nRemember the LA riots?? \nWell this is 1000 times that\nAnd Will Be Happening In Cities NATIONWIDE\n \nThese ILLEGAL Aliens \nare getting angrier and more violent by the week, \nand Mr. Bush knows it. \nHe has been advised by Homeland Security \nwhat I just said above. \nThat’s why he’s such a worm about all this. \nHe just doesn’t want it all to happen on his watch. \n\nThe next president \nwill have to completely capitulate to the illegals demands, \nor face the above consequences. \n\nWhat do you think will happen??

I think it is great. I think 5 years is more than enough time for illegals to get their things in order and gain citizenship or leave. It's not because I think we are better than them. It's because I live in Northwest-Arkansas. And for those of you who don't know. There is a sign on the US side of the Mexican border that says "Come to Northwest-Arkansas for work" Well, that's great...because half of the people I know...can't get jobs, because illegals are taking them. How is that fair? This is the first right thing that Bush has done. Why protest it? I DO believe that illegal immigrants should have the right to the American Dream, if they gain citizenship. But when you think about it, The money that is taken out of your weekly paycheck, that is supposed to go to the Social Security Fund, (to help you and your family out later on in life) is paying for their healthcare and their housing in some cases. So, tell me, how is it fair that the people who are citizens, get to pay for the illegal immigrants' needs and get nothing in return. Do you think  there will be any money left, when it is your turn to need the Social Security money?
