According to TNRIP, the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers is staggering! Here is a break down of the annual costs: \n\nEducation: $22.5 billion \nBi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion \nAFDC: $2.4 billion \nSSI: $2.9 billion \nSocial Security: $24.8 billion \nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion \nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion \nJobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion \nOther Programs: $51.4 billion \nFood Stamps: $7 billion \nHealth Care: $1.4 billion (That Totals $131.7 BILLION Annually Folks)\n\nIf we can afford stupid specialty coins minted for each state in the USA. We can afford to secure our boarders, enforce immigration laws, and deport ILLEGAL immigrants.\n\n300 million Americans.\nEstimated 20 million + ILLegal immigrants\nestimate of ILLEGAL immigrant children in America 30 million\n\nIf Amnesty is given. each ILLEGAL immigrant then has the right to bring family over.\nEstimating 2 family members brought per person here 100 million in on year's time.\n\nGive or take more Illegals that may sneek in figuring they can get away with it too. As well as the immigrants we approve to come in that leaves us with a grand total of:\nAmerican population skyrockets to 450 million in one year.......\n\nA population increase of such magnitude, no other country or part of the world as we know it, has ever indured in history. \n\nIt's not rocket science. This is why there are controls on immigration into the country, and limits per year. The country has to survive the influk.It must be able to absord and provide for the influk. While maintianing economic stability. Which means and no job loss, housing loss, no resources loss, no sharp price inflations,or loss to the basic way of life of American's.\n\nRequiring economic stability no country or part of the world has at this time in our history. With legalization in those numbers we have a two fold obligation to remember. A right to a better life for every American new and old. \n\nWe have to be wise enough to protect tommorrow. So that we still have oportunity and a better way of life to offer immigrants who come here. We have to do that one by one.\n\nTruely what this issue comes down to is those who want it decided on emotionial reasoning, and those who see that no matter how upleasant, it must be looked at from a logical viewpoint in order for us all to survive. \n\n\nThere is a march going on right now with one man, heading to the White house carrying our signatures for a secure boarder to preserve our rights.\n\nMinutemans Walk Across America\n\nHe's on his way folks, they are taking signatures online, and will send them to him in DC. He will then personaly hand them over to Congress and the President. Please sign the petion before he arrives. He is making stops all over the USA on his way. But, he can not make it everywhere so sign online.\n\nhttp://www.minutemanhq.com/pet_hr1986/

Considering they are illegal, and not citizens, they have no rights and are not entitled to any freedoms in this country. Thusly, it is considered civil disobedience for them to protest. However, it would be considered profiling if law enforcement were to round up Hispanics in a protest, based on assumption of their legal status.

This will not happen, because the US will not let it. The US has become aware of this problem and will take steps to avoid this.  Since the illegals have made themselves noticed by protesting for their rights, now the American people have taken notice and will pressure our government to take action.

The millions of people who would take off a days work to protest the Mexicans would be as wrong as the Mexican Americans who did take a day off yesterday to protest the immigrations law that is being set up.  This new immigration law does not have only to do with People from Mexico.  It will stop all illegal immigrants from all Countries getting into this country.  This will try to help protect us from getting our Country Blew to pieces!!!

Americans don't only focus on Mexicans on the issue of immigration, which is what I'm assuming you're asking about.  Part of this issue are the unprotected borders between Mexico and the U.S., and if you recall, it has been per posed that a wall be built to help protect these areas.  There are many reasons for this, on of the most important is to stop illegal immigrants from passing, Mexican and otherwise.  It is very possible that people associated with Al Quaida and many other terrorist groups could enter Mexico and then the United States undetected by anyone.  What has been per posed by Bush and many others is that along with protection of our borders, there is a need for a worker program so that foreign people working in this country can be monitored, not prevented from entering.  I don't think that anyone denies that Mexicans and many others from foreign countries are a vital part of our workforce here in the U.S., but because of recent events, the United States must boost security along it's borders, ie, Mexico and Canada.  I think that the a majority of media attention is focused on Mexicans because there are so many people (of all nationalities) that come into the U.S. via the Mexican border.

Because they're not Mexicans and/or they're not entering via the Mexican/U.S. border. Our stupid politicians, both Republican and Democatric, have let over 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants invade our country.  Democrats are worse, letting anyone come in as long as they can get their vote, but Republicans aren't much better, finally agreeing to build (but not fund) a 700 mile border.fence.  If the Chinese could build a 5000 mile wall around their country with their own hands, I think we could throw up something pretty decent in the next 9 months. Got plenty of illegal immigrants looking for work, they could build it. We can put a man on the moon, but can't build a frickin fence. Gutless politicians.

Last I heard there were 20,000,000 (20 million) illegals in the United States.  We never sent that many troops anywhere in all history to invade a county.  Therefore, it must be an invasion.

Oh my god don't get me started on this subject.  I would love to start a group of people who rounded up illegal immigrants, tied them up, threw them into the back of a truck and then dropped them off in the middle of Mexico.  I don't mind immigrants.  But the ones who sneak in here illegally don't deserve to stay.  I'd love to go to a protest!

Mexicans are not being persecuted in America. Even those that are here illegaly. Although there seems to be more public sentiment against illegals here of late. I would blame that on the media or the politicians makeing an issue of it more than anything else. ive lived in Texas all my life the illegal alien thing is nothing new.there were plenty illegals here for more more than thirty years and never heard one complaint until the last few weeks when the media started blasting it out the airways. Unfortuneately Ive noticed that the media seems to have a large affect on the popular opinion here. Why they have chosen this time to make it a major issue is beyond anything i can understand.

No. It is inherently illegal. The laws re illegal entry to the country should be enforced. If people who are here legally want to march and demonstrate, then more power to them.

The City of Farmers Branch, Texas  has passed an ordinance banning Illegals to live or work in the city, there are fines.  They also have adopted English as official language in city.  There are big organized protests and suit is to be filed against city.  Don't know what sparked the move, but city has a large population of Mexicans. and there are places they have had problems.  Around here most Illegals keep a low profile.  Oh yes the police of Farmers Branch will check status if Mexicans are stopped or in a disruption/fight.. We will see what happens.  you can read about it on yahoo if you scan the news by state.

I hear the Mexican government is going to have people at the larger ones. Our secret service will be there to baby sit them. Not a good place to riot.\n\nThe hypocrisy of all this sickens me. It is a federal offense in Mexico to cross into it. Yet their Politicians complain we are talking about doing that up here. \n\nThey work on the problem of illegals in Mexico, only at our request. By handing out maps on how to cross quicker?\n\nIf Illegals wanted to do the world a favor, they would go back and get those slimes out of office.

If you noticed, there were less Mexican flags flying during these protests (even though there were MANY) because the organizers (la raza) were getting them to give them their Mexican flags, and giving them American flags to wave during the march. In other words, they were trying to hide what they are really all about. They didn't want all of America to see all those Mexican flags, because they know that there will be massive backlash, like there had been previously. These organizers are not stupid. They are spin wizards and they are going to try and dress this up to look harmless. If they hadn't interceded you would have seen nothing but Mexican flags, because that is where the hearts of these protesters truly lies - in Mexico. I say send them AND their flags back to Mexico! Adios!

First, there have been documented border incursions, they are not a myth. Second, the border is not well marked in many areas so mistakes can happen. Third, the most likely reason for these incursion is illegal activity, mostly smuggling (drugs, guns, people). The Army and Cops in Mexico are crooks. Many are on the payrolls of the drug gangs. So why not provide some "protection" and make a buck?

On March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\n      On March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. On March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and here in \nSacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The counterfeit Senate is to begin \ntheir bickering on March 28, 2006.\n\nOur economy will not fail by rounding up illegals and deporting them. \nOn ABC This Week, March 26, 2006, weasel Arlen Specter, hauled out the other big lie, "We have created a need for these workers who will do the work Americans won't." \n\nBull. Once we begin to deport these criminals, Americans \nwill step in and do the jobs - jobs that have been taken away from them because employers have turned a blind eye to the law and are looking for cheap labor. As for Arlen Specter: why is he still sitting on his backside doing nothing while banks in this country are knowingly and aggressively violating federal law by giving home mortgages to criminals (illegals). Congress and the Department of Justice are simply ignoring this outrage, yet Specter blathers on the stupid tube that these 15 million plus criminals should be given a free pass. \n\nTom Tancredo was the other guest on the aforementioned show and he said it right: We don't need any new laws, enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books.\n\n This IS what's coming right to your neighborhood: One of these days in the near future, these millions of illegals are going to become berserkers. It is the intention of Mexicans to "reclaim" the four border states and merge them back with Mexico and they are willing to do it with violence. These 15 million plus illegals will go on a rampage the minute any serious round up and deportation begins, but it must get done for the very surivival \nof our republic, our standard of living and our culture. Reasonable immigration of less than 100,000 per year is more than appropriate and it worked well for a very long time.\n\n      We 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 \nahead 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 \nlawlessness in our faces.\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: \n\nImmigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have &quot

They don't, and that's the shame of it, our corrupt politicians are allowing our country to be invaded so they can establish the NWO-(New World Order) these outlaws that cross our borders illegally have 0, none, notta, zilch, not one right to even protest here.
