Will selective enforcement of our laws will kill this country? Do Illegal aliens steal identities 2 get jobs?

Yes they do use other peoples social security numbers. (everyone who is involved with this particular community knows this for a fact) otherwise none of them would be working at fast food joints and other places that require an SS number in order to work. Someone could be using your number right now, so get a credit report.

Its not gonna work this time. In Texas the were expecting 1500 Hispanic folks to show up for a rally. They got 500,000 or more. When they get legal and can vote, the changes will happen so fast the right wing hateful people will wonder what happened. I'm looking froward to it. We are a nation of immigrants or at least Grandchildren of Immigrants. How can we consider people criminals just for being here and working hard?

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

Read the bills, please don't lie about them.\n\nNeither the House or Senate bills criminalize aid agencies (including churches) or medical facilities for helping illegals.  They are not required to ask or report.\n\nEMPLOYERS that hire EMPLOYEES (whites too!) are requires to check Social Security Numbers against a National database before they can employ someone.  Fail to do so and big fine/go to jail.\n\nThe truth will suffice, my Liberal friends.\n\nThank you for your support.

I live In Mount Vernon washington - My wife got rearended by an illegal alien on his way to get free food - as when the cop came all he had was a social services card as an ID - no driver's lic and no insurance and no registration - and yes the cop didn't call INS just gave him a ticket and let him go....\nThankfully my wife was in our truck and only had minor light damage - his car was totaled....thankfully.\nNo there are two sets of laws one for those of us who are here legally and one for those who choose to break the law every day....But the worst part is there are people who think that's okay ....boggles the mind....how they get away with so much....

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...

it is such an enormous and expensive problems and i did reported an illegals aliens once to the proper authorities and guess what happen, after a couple of days i saw the person back at work and the employers just paying the fine, is their any kind of legal organization that we can join or contribute some money to solve such problem which is beginning to choke this country to death to the point that their will be more lawbreakers than law abiding citizen in this country once they are given amnesty which the democrats are planning to do just to insure that they will be in the white house come 2008!! God help the USA.

No, it already is a fascist governemnt, look at how out of touch the government is with the will of the people. We have illegal immigrants poised to get total amnesty. We have a supreme court that rules that local government can sieze your private property without giving just compensation as long as there is a money benefit in it for the local government. And our congress has passed the patriot act in direct violation of the 4th amendment (sneak and peak warrants with no judicail oversight, just a rubber stamp FISA court that must be notified 72 hours-3 months after the search was conducted).

Yes I do think identity cards will infringe people's civil liberties. In my view the government is making Britain more like a police state than ever before.

It's not a matter of not knowing, it's not being interested. I, personally, tracked down the person who stole my identity to obtain all kinds of consumer goods and even surgery using my information and nobody pursued it at all. Since then, I've met at least ten people whose identities have been stolen by illegal immigrants or people with ties to terrorists and they all had the same experience with the police not even caring to make a report or follow through. Our information is being stolen with a blind-eye approval from the government.

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.
554685
no. why would we reward people for breaking the law. there are just as many people taking the time to go through the process, why take away their chances?! and to be honest, i think the reason immigrants are taking these jobs "no one else will do" is because they are less likely to require paperwork and therefor can remain in the US. Ruining our economy, taking away our healthcare, demanding spanish speaking school teachers etc. i dont care if you are mexican, irish, german, just be here legally.

Yeah, I already knew this before the video.  Any non-illegals that marched are just sheep that dont understand the issue at all.  Its time to get all the Illegals sent home.  Legals are great, but our social structure cannot handle this flood of illegals.  Some good news- the INS just arrewsted 70 illegals from a single builder in the Cincinnati area yesterday, and they say that more arrests are coming at other builders shortly.  They also arrested a number of the Americans that hired them, and raided the coirporate HQ to get the financial records.  Hopefully they step up this initiative nationally, and really start throwing them out.

Yeah, I read that on Fox News this morning.  I think it would be a tremendous deterrent to illegals trying to enter our country.  I hope the employers who lure the illegal workers will be targeted.  separately, of course.
326946
yes, i know that. i wish the government would do something about it already.\n\ni know an illegal family from mexico. him and his sister collect ssi and medicaid. they are under fake names but i do not know how they are getting all of this.

It started due to the 11 million illegal insurgents in the country and more coming in each day. I too hope it does not pass AS WRITTEN due it does not include our President's\nidea for a national non-forge-able ID card for illegals along with some kind of work program (for those interested in working and not sucking on the welfare teat or doing drugs and gang crime) but I do not believe in amnesty for those that have violated our laws and our country's sovereignty.

A more important question that I don't see being asked is: "Who has let this happen?"  We have had, and still do, laws criminalizing almost all aspects of being illegal, from simply being here, to being illegal to hire them.  For the problem to be this big, police, INS, politicians, you name it, have to be complicit.  How come there is not a witch hunt in our communities to see who is responsible?\n\nIf the police accidentally shoot someone, we hold them accountable.  If a politician is caught taking bribes, we hold them responsible.  If millions of illegals come here we look the other way and pass more laws?  Does this make any sense to you guys?\n\nDon't forget this is not the first time we have talked about amnesty.  It didn't work in the 80's, it won't work now.  More laws is not the solution, punishing those who broke the law (US citizens and illegals alike) is.
