People are waking up just as I did.  It's not immigration, it's colonization.  Our country is at stake, and those we send to lead us act like the leaders of the free world, where they make decisions for eveyone else and against us to pay for it.  They must really believe we have too much and have to spread it around, and ultimately perhaps cede states back to Mexico.  I could see where that is part of their plan by lying to us about colonization and ignoring the real issues.\n\nAnybody up for a future civil war?\n\nTHANK GOD THAT ARTICLE STATES THE TRUTH THAT THERE IS NO JOB AMERICANS WON'T DO IT'S A SNOWJOB.  OUR LEADERS WANT TO ABATE OUR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS.  PLAIN AND SIMPLE AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE.\n\nNow, 73% are happy they qualify for child care.  I wonder what the numbers were before colonization.

Pancha, I am not talking about the 4% here. I am talking about multiplying that by family not yet here, and by the HUGE increase from the Senate Bill proposed guest worker program.  I think the illegals except those we are really willing to root out (the awful ones) are going to be here legalization or not, so the impact is already here.  My focus is on the future immigration level. This is not just a 'lets make it a little easier'.  This is a 'let's flood the market so we can pay peanuts, like China does' and there is no hope that won't impact us, particularly when the baby boomers retire and need the social services they have been paying into all of their lives.

All I can say is the government had better listen to the people, regardless of the election results, and the MAJORITY of the people are unhappy with the number of illegal immigrants in this country.  I certainly hope they do not even THINK about another amnesty because I think the country is on the edge of civil war regarding this issue and the people in government had better take this seriously and stop just pandering to businesses and corporations.

I'm a republican and I don't think he's going a good job with the border. He wants amnesty for all these people.  He is completely out of touch and has NO idea what the impact is going to be for the long term.  It doesn't take a genius from either party to figure out that massive illegal immigration is BAD for our country, and there hasn't been any single president that's had the cajones to do anything about it.

You don't have much of a clue what you're talking about at all, do you?\n\nLet's address these points:\nMost liberals don't want free borders, just MORE free borders - i.e. make it easier to enter the country.  In addition, liberals are generally much more in favor of worker's protections.  They are long supporters of functions such as labor unions and higher minimum wage.\n\nI've never heard of anyone wanting amnesty for ALL criminals.  Many liberals oppose the death penalty, but that doesn't mean murders, rapists, and so forth should be set free.\n\nWe also like democracy, but much all of the states must work together to support the US, so must all countries work together to support the world.  These are not mutually exclusive concepts.\n\nAnd actually, many liberals support a very open and accountable government - why do you think people are so angry about Bush's warrantless wiretapping program and secret prisons?\n\nI can't believe I even bothered to reply to this nonsense.

If they grant amnesty like in the 1980's.  I would prefer that they set something in place to secure the border but the entire border.... their lack of gumption to do anything about this situation has us in a terrible predicament.......The politicians greed for tax money enabled terrorist to penetrate and invade our lovely country.  Amnesty will happen but I want them to secure our country

The polls show we do not want Amnesty of any kind.\nThe American People believe a Criminal is a criminal and if you came to this Country with out fallowing our immigration laws then you broke our laws making you a criminal and we should not reward someone for doing a criminal act.\n\nSo now we need to convince the House and Senate that is what we want a what we voted them in office is to vote for what want and that is we do not want our Country invaded by anyone We want our borders protected.\n\nThis is not the 1970's or 1980's or  even 1776 after 911 we need to think of AMERICA FIRST stop worrying about what Mexico wants and Start protecting America First

I Think The Citizens Are Starting To Realize The Threats And We Will Not Allow This\nThe Line Is Drawn In The Sand\n\nWashington Is Aware That, If There Is Not A Military Presense On The Border By 5/25, The Citizens Will Exercise Their 2nd Amendment Rights To Stop This Invasion\n\nIf Washington Will Not Act On This Ultimatum, \nWE THE PEOPLE Will Take It Into Our Own Hands\n\nMaybe When They (Washington) Gets A Taste Of That, \nThey Will Begin To Take Care Of This Crisis\n\nThen Again,...Maybe They Will Just Leave It Up To Us

Oh my gosh! We are less safe. We have created more hatred against us then ever before! With over 3 million illeagles crossing our borders last year, how can we be safer? Can we really trust our country in the hands of the most corrupt administration in History? With what we have spent toward the war of lies(iraq), just think of the improvments we could have made to homeland security! Remember the responce to Katrina, that was run under homeland security! That was a real good examle of how protected we are! I could ramble on forever about the sorry state our country is in, but I know most wont listen(thats why Bush was elected the 2nd time, we all know the first was a sham!).

I think it probably depends more on where you live, as to how you feel about it. Most people closer to the border, our fellow Americans, aren't to happy with ILLEGAL immigration. Always remember to say legal or illegal, that is the issue, not immigration.

Amnesty is the worst decision that could be made by this government, but it isn't surprising, we are in a mess abroad and now at home. We can't even sustain our own people or help them when disasters come along, and our dimwit government thinks we can support foreigners that just hop in and drain the economy more. They caused this mess and they better start cleaning it up .....and fast!

That's because there are dumb idiots out there that think the U.S. borders should be open to everyone.  They think that the U.S. has no right to enfore it's borders because it's the land of the Native Americans and the U.S. took it by force.  More liberal bullsh1t.  At least your a conservative so you have a hold on reality.  Many liberals (not all) are screwy in the head.  They don't understand what's good for the country.  But I think most of those crazies make up a small percentage of liberals, not all of them.

I agree that our borders are more important than area 51, or Iraq's borders, as well.\n\nWe need real border security, not a grandstand wave of the National Guard designed to get a Bill passed!

It is a new time....America has always been protected by oceans on both sides. Although there is rampant corruption and pathetic government structure to our south , Mexico has mostly been nothing more than a nuisance for it's drug trade. Canadians and Americans have had very close ties aside from an occasional policy difference. today...I think there should be greater border patrols on our north and south borders. With terrorism and it's networks pressing the envelope in finding new ways to destroy us we have no alternative but to increase our security to meet the new dangers.
