Disagreement over who'll catch illegal immigrants

I oppose checkpoints for Illegals just as I would oppose door to door searches... I want them deported without America becoming a police state.

I am in 100% agreement with this. What bother with the cure if it is worse than the disease? Besides,I am convinced certain elements in our gooberment WANT the illegal alien problem because they hope it will lead to the voters giving them dictorial powers. This is why they have no interest in sealing the borders,and why they keep wanting to make "instant citizens" out of illegals as a method of encouraging more of it. Illegal aliens is a tool to be used to remove the Bill of Rights,just like the so-called War on Drugs is.

Read it slower...

Yep. Create a problem, fan the flames a bit, then when the people are ready to sacrifice anything to fix the problem, ride in with the "solution", which is often worse than the original problem. Kinda sounds like the way this whole "war on terrorism" is being set up. We are wide open.

El jefe Boosh wants to hand out goodies to them, not take their money away. Some day we may actually get a President who puts the needs of Americans over that of foreign nationals. We don't have one now.

This is sort of O/T but I have to vent to someone, I'm so angry right now. I was just online arguing to this mormon who lives in San Diego, and he was posing as this religious person.

He was telling me about the mexican maid he had hired at $30 a day CASH, and how great CHEAP LABOR they have in San Diego!

And I was FUMING!

Why? Because California has one of the highest rates of unemployment in the entire country and this **&&%&^&* JERK is hiring someone just so he can hire her cheaply! And I said excuse me that is ILLEGAL and you can GO TO JAIL, and he was saying how BUSH WAS A GREAT PRESIDENT and how bush will help the economy! And I was like this has nothing to DO WITH BUSH, you are HIRING AN ILLEGAL, don't you have any MORAL OBLIGATION?

What a jerk, I'm still really mad right this second but that's the THING with the BUSH SUPPORTERS isn't it???

Hey just because AMERICANS are suicidal and can't even get jobs at STARBUCKS doesn't mean we should HIRE AMERICANS! Oh I am so angry right now I could wring that jerks neck!
