I agree with both of your issues!  However, i do not agree with the statement that they "are here whether we like it or not."  I don't like it!  Most Americans don't like it!  If we protest enough, our elected Officials will eventually do something about it.\n\nWrite your Congressmen and Senators.  Write to the President.  Inundate them with mail that demands what is right for America.  Withhold your votes from anyone who does not make "Restoring America for Americans" the cornerstone of their political platform.  Withhold your votes from anyone who doesn't make ILLEGAL immigration a major plank of their platform.  Let your elected Officials know this.\n\nBe proactive ~ America is so close to apathy that it is mind-boggling.  It's time for another Revolution, people ~ one with no weapons other than words and quiet determination.\n\nStop thinking "Republican" or "Democrat" and start thinking "AMERICAN!"  Vote a straight ticket and you grow a row of idiots.  VOTE THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE FOR AMERICANS ~ born or LEGALLY naturalized.\n\nA standing ovation to Bullseye for his input above.  I've copied it and will now email it to everyone on my list.\n\nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\n\nBecause the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:\n \n1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.\n \n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?\n \n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.\n \n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.\n \n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents). The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55,000 each. Some bargain, eh?\n \n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4

Immigration is a joke........As I have mentioned many times before. ICE.... INS.... whatever they call themselves these days needs to be completely torn down and edified with specific departments with specific job details... They must be held accountable for their work ethics. You for example as a law abiding citizen (hopefully) do not have racist reasons for reporting someone does not even know who to report them too.... This bureaucratic monster of a department does not serve the Public in its work... nor does it serve its purpose in granting work permits for those who have applied.... what good are they? They have the attitude that I will get to them when I get to them not just to the people who they are supposed to serve .... But to the USA citizen who in essence supplies them with that paycheck that they do not earn..... Heads up...... Rebuild this monster of a department while building this wall across the border.

i think it's pritty stupid.  i know i lived in Texas & there were tons of mexicans that came over from Mexico.  For the most part, they were all pritty good people.  Working 2 to 3 jobs tryin to support their families back home.  I know they take alll the money, no taxes & what not, but still .. it's not as bad as idiot Bush makes it out to be.  I say spend money on other things, not a frickin wall.

OK,I have been called alot of names for this but here I go ....\nThere are 12 million illegal immigrants in this country RIGHT NOW.If they all became LEGAL right now that means:\nThey for sure would be paying taxes.(imagine how much 12 million ppl would contrbute)\nThey would have to be paid decent wages(thus not lowering wages).\nThey would no longer be ILLEGAL.(tired of hearing that one,how are ppl illegal).\nThey would be documented,with health screens,finger prints,background checks.\nThey could no longer be exploited.\nI know I am forgetting some things,but I think this is the only solution(here come the insults).I don't agree with breaking apart families,or sending ppl away that have been productive members if this society for decades."Illegal" immigration has been going on for a long time and only now it is a country wide issue.And I don't think all those ppl should be deported because some ppl want to label them as "illegal" or because they are stigmatized.\nAnd I also think the border should be better looked after.I love my ppl, but damn.

Thank you. As ridiculuous as that sounds, thank you for taking the time to obey our immigration laws. I agree with you that those that do not follow the laws are crimminals. I do not see you as an uncle tom or back stabber or whatever the others on here have called you. If you and thousands of others have taken the time to follow the correct procedures to obtain citizenship in this country, no matter how hard it was, you deserve to hold your head high. Those that don't, and continue to break our immigration laws should be rounded up and sent back to wherever they came from. I no longer want to support them through my taxes just so they can send the money they make back to their native country.

first of all no legislation has been introduced that will change their current status . Most of this has been brought on by a bill proposed in Congress that would have stiff penalties for illegal status . I personally think that this has frightened them and they want their voice's heard . As it stands right now the ideas range from amnesty to prison . It's anyone's guess what sort of comprimise will come out of this .

Too sad.... and the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is quite proud of the fact that they have netted both legal and illegal aliens more than $800 million in food stamps, plus 12 billion in Supplemental Security Income.  How about stopping all this nonsense....what the heck is a wall going to do if it's clearly so rewarding to be here?\n\nFurther to whom it may concern- I realize some of you pro-illegals are quite unfamiliar with actual research and watching the news, but Americans for Legal Immigration is a PAC-or Political Action Committee. Meaning they are heavily involved in politics and quite well-known. Perhaps if you'd picked up a government textbook once in awhile, you'd know that.

I think this new law is crap too. They should not be able to chose the people that live here. I mean we make a big part of this country without us this country isn't a real country. This country is made up of different race. What would they say if we toke the white American out of the latino countries.

I like it.  Needs to apply to illegal Mexicans too.\nIt is way cheaper than it is now.

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

I don't think anyone wants to see 'guest worker' ANYTHING until about 1/2 million mexicans go HOME. After that starts to happen,then we can start talking about work permits and all that jazz....but right now, Mexico's got a problem, they forgot they LOST the war of 1848 and that americans are just going to stand idly by while they walk back in en masse. The border patrol says Bush's plan is horse%%%%,so we'll have to wait and see what's really going on with this issue, and whether or not this administration's going to carry off the kind of reforms that will make Mexico sit up and take notice...Mexico doesn't just want 2 bites, they want the WHOLE enchilada. They use their people as tools for their policy goals...hold the baby CLOSER to the camera LOLOL

Listen, you ignorant person. \n\nNobody is against IMMIGRATION. Its ILLEGAL immigration thats the problem. And everybody should be upset about it, not just Republican and Democrats. To say thats racist is absurd, ignorant and morally dishonest.

Yes I have heard of this, and it scares me. It's time for people to get over their apathy and denial and start paying attention to what is going on here. I've been saying for the last two months that this whole "immigration reform" treadmill debate and "bill" is nothing more than blanket amnesty and a thinly vieled way to open our borders wide up. And now not only is the truth coming out, but it's FAR worse than I even thought it would be.\n\nPresident Bush, with NO Congressional authority or public disclosure, signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America along with the president of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada. The plan is to effectively MERGE Canada, Mexico, and the United States into one super-state with an "common security perimeter." It's RIGHT there, hidden in plain site, on our own government website (http://www.spp.gov/).\n\nThousands of homes are going to be illegally seized, citing 'imminent domain,' for a massive North American super-highway that will eventually stretch from Alaska, through Canada, as far South as Chile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/trans-texas... It's going to be controlled by international corporations, and patrolled by International police.\n\nNorth American Union law and the North American Supreme Court are going to SUPERCEDE our own court systems.\n\nREAD the Council on Foreign Relations plan, which is already being implemented:\n\nhttp://www.cfr.org/publication/8102/...\n\nThey call for all three countries to be fully integrated by 2010, and they also call for an additional "North American Tax" on EVERY working citizen.\n\nOur ancestors DIED for American Sovereignty, and without telling Congree, and without the support of the American people, our government is giving that sovereignty away in the name of bullshit "national security," massive corporations, cheap labor, and world control.\n\nCanadians should be equally horrified of this.\n\nYour Prime Minister, Stepher Harper, is in bed SO deeply with the Bush Adminstration, the CFR, and mega-corporations that it's just downright scary.\n\nCanada even had their own recent bullshit "terror scare."\n\n17 "extremists" planned to blow up Toronto and behead the beloved Prime Minister.\n\nThey were arrested and not allowed to speak to anybody.\n\nThe Canadian government spent two weeks talking about their evil plan, with no real evidence to back it up.\n\nThen what happens?\n\nNews starts getting out that the case against these men is awful.\n\nWhat does Canada do?\n\nThey BAN the media, under threat of prison, from even mentioning the case.\n\nThe trial will be held in a secret location under a Canadian government tribunal, with their own hand-picked 'jurors" -- and the media will not be allowed access to any of it (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticl...\n\nWhat will it take for people to end their denial and wake up to what's going on around us?\n\nAmerica, and soon the entire continent, is falling to straight-up tyranny.\n\nAnd because our government is hand-in-hand with the corporate mainstream media, everyone assumes it's not happening.\n\nOpen your history books.\n\nThis is nothing new.\n\nIt has happened time and time and time again throughout history, and it's happening as we speak.\n\nYour choices are simple:\n\n1) Educate yourself, and do EVERYTHING in your power to let others know what is going on.\n2) Maintain an "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude, and finally be convinced when it's too late to change things.\n\nAnd it's pretty obvious what will probably happen next.\n\nThe United States is going to be hit by another massive "terrorist attack," maybe multiple attacks at the same time, and then FEMA is going to order the National Guard and local police to go door to door and confiscate the guns of every single law-abiding citizen in the country.\n\n
