I think the "We just want to work and feed our families" is a bunch of bull. This law never even would have been brought up had the illegals not caused so much crime here. In my state alone,they caused wreck after wreck from drunk driving and killed so many good people. People better than them, and people who were legals. I see nothing wrong with the law. If you offer people who have been here for years citizenship,there will be people coming here in droves. They will lie and say they have been here for years just to get an easy citizenship. What about the immigrants who came here and did it legally? Its not fair to them to just give the illegals citizenship. I completely agree with everything you wrote to your congressman and we don't see protests in Mexico because everyone there wants to come here. Thats too bad. Why can't they just stay in their country and leave ours alone? As soon as we allow citizenship to the illegals, they'll bring their whole family and start having babies that we will have to pay for. They'll all be on medicare and welfare and we will be the ones to pay for it. It isn't a good idea to extend citizenship to people who don't deserve it, haven't worked for it, and are just demanding it instead of sincerly working for it.

Something has to be done....  Im sick of reading about them tearing down US Flags on US soil and ripping them up.  I say we should send them all back to where they came from.... or at least make them pay taxes.  If they want to break the law let them break it in their own country.

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

Here it is:\n\n Good evening. I have asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance: the reform of America's immigration system.\n\nThe issue of immigration stirs intense emotions and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images.\n\nAnd in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.\n\nWe must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system. For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed.\n\nOnce here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities. These are real problems, yet we must remember that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people who work hard, support their families, practice their faith, and lead responsible lives. They are a part of American life but they are beyond the reach and protection of American law.\n\nWe are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws. We are also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways. These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration, and we will deliver a system that is secure, orderly and fair. So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish five clear objectives.\n\nFirst, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation. It is also an urgent requirement of our national security. Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers and terrorists.\n\nI was the governor of a state that has a 1,200-mile border with Mexico. So I know how difficult it is to enforce the border, and how important it is. Since I became president, we have increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and expanded the Border Patrol from about 9,000 to 12,000 agents. The men and women of our Border Patrol are doing a fine job in difficult circumstances, and over the past five years, we have apprehended and sent home about 6 million people entering America illegally.\n\nDespite this progress, we do not yet have full control of the border, and I am determined to change that. Tonight I am calling on Congress to provide funding for dramatic improvements in manpower and technology at the border. By the end of 2008, we will increase the number of Border Patrol officers by an additional 6,000. When these new agents are deployed, we will have more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol during my presidency.\n\nAt the same time, we are launching the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history. We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors, and build new patrol roads and barriers in rural areas. We will employ motion sensors infrared cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles to prevent illegal crossings. America has the best technology in the world and we will ensure that the Border Patrol has the technology they need to do their job and secure our border.\n\nTraining thousands of new Border Patrol agents and bringing the m

Yes, I love it!  I look on the internet news daily for more stories like the one about the mayor of Hazelton, PA, or Sheriff Joe in Arizona, or big unexpected roundups of illegals in different cities.  It does my heart proud to see the citizens of the USA standing up against this injustice that the government has allowed to occur and get out of hand - illegal immigration.  I believe the power of the American citizens is now snowballing against illegal immigration and whether the Federal Government wants to or not, they are going to have to listen to the people whom they work for, and act accordingly.  The days of the freebies and handouts for illegal immigrants are quickly coming to an end and the smart ones will start planning their own voluntary self-deportations now, rather than wait until they are found and shipped out, possibly leaving family members behind in the USA.  Better they start planning and get themselves organized for an orderly return to their home countries before they get caught by immigration officials or the police or their landlord or their employer.  This way, if they have lived cleanly in the USA so far, without committing further offences since they first illegally came over the border, they have a hope of returning legally one day, if they go home now and apply to immigrate to the USA through the proper procedures.  WAKE UP ILLEGALS!  Do yourselves and your families a favour and return yourselves in an orderly fashion now, while you still can.  Otherwise, don't cry and whine when you get caught and shipped out on a moment's notice, when you aren't ready.  The jig is up!  Amnesty is NOT coming!!  Wake up and smell the coffee!

He took money from the insurance companies for his campaign, yet tells us he'll do something about the rates....yea right!!!!.\n\nI wrote and asked how he stood on Illegal Immigration and his office said he supports stronger borders and funding the police in this State to go after them....yet he surely doesn't say much about it in public, therefore I feel he is once again pulling the wool over every ones eyes in order to get elected.\n\nI have written to Charlie about many issues that as Attorney General he had control over and he NEVER responded to me in any way shape or form.\nHe is a lying, cheating, 20 plus year politician who doesn't deserve to be anything but unemployed.\n\nHe did not get my vote for governor and neither did Davis.\nI voted absentee ballot, I want my vote to count and do not trust the machines.\n\nAs a veteran, Thank you for voting, even if it cancels out my vote.  :)

its funny...but every time i email my congressman ..who is a woman...one of the most liberal in the country...i get a form email back stating how this is good for the country....as though she knows all about what is best for me...\n\neven though she doesnt live here and probably hasnt had illegals breaking into her house, killing people, taking jobs, selling drugs, spreading disease, and using every gov't service they can find....she knows whats best for us..\n\nyour right..politicians should be made to account for their un-american stance on this issue come election time...

I write public officials constantly about these issues, especially my senators and the representative of my ward.  The truth is that hundreds of thousands of people are writing, calling, showing up....to demand border security and extreme limits on all forms of immigration.  So many that the lines of communication are all jammed most of the time.\n\nThat's why you saw the whole amnesty craziness come to a screeching halt (its also why an enforcment only bill came out of the house).  It has become extremely clear that any politician who, in any way, stands in the way of reform, is finished.  Something like 90% of people in the US feel this way and feel strongly enough about it that they will vote out anyone who tries to prevent reform.  Bushes stance on amnesty is what has driven his poll numbers into the toilet...not the situation in Iraq (for which he has been completely vindicated I might add).

How Do I Feel About The Protests??\nIll TELL You How I Feel\n\nThe media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America UNDER THE FLAG OF MEXICO. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly UNDER THE FLAG OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION to DEFEND AMERICA , and JUST SAY NO !!!\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (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\nWe cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. The stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care while they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally If you're a terrorist, no problem, go ahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools. Nothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of illegals aready here while the illegals rub their lawlessness in our faces.\n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag \nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My "PROUD TO BE AMERICAN" BROTHERS \nOf ANY DESCENT\n\nYou Call It INTOLERANCE???Call It What YOU Wanna Call It-\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better-\nCall It RACISM,\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall Me A NAZI\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall It WHATHEF**KEVERYOU Wanna Call It-\nAs Long As It Makes YOU Feel Better\n\nWhats Gonna Make ME Feel Better???\n\nI Pledge ALLEGIENCE To The FLAG\nOf The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA\n\nI KNOW Im Not A Racist\nI KNOW Im Not A Nazi\nI KNOW Im A PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN \nAnd A HARDWORKING TAXPAYER\nAnd A MILITARY VETERAN\nAnd NOTHING YOU Call ME Is Gonna Change That\n\nYou DISGRACE My NATION???-\nYou DISGRACE My FLAG???-\nNO SOUP FOR YOU!!!\n\nThe LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY Brought This Upon Themselves\n\nPUSH HR 4437 AS IS-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY\n\nHasta La Vista BAYBEE--LeEmigre Is ON THE WAY

Promises Promises\n\nNeither will do what they say they will.  The immigration issue is sort of moot, because Bush already signed the immigration bill a couple weeks ago.  I have not heard anything on their part in how they are going to treat immigrants on the local level though.\n\nChris Bell is the agriculture guy, so he would be against the horse slaughters.
