I read this today when I was waiting in the doctor's office.

Want to know what my blood pressure was when I got in the room?

What do Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and the first candidate of ANY party for President who addresses the ILLEGAL invasion have in common?

[Frohickey]

Maybe we can deport them to Afghanistan or Iraq instead. Would take much longer than a few days to get back into the USA that way.

If I am not mistaken, an illegal alien does not have to be deport to his/her country of origin.

[TaxRelief]

So long, undocumented ILLEGAL workers! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[Revolting cat!]

Damn those aliens!

The wages he earns in six or seven months here allow him to spend the rest of the year relaxing at his home on Mexico's Pacific Coast.

True --- and he's not the worst kind of illegal --- just here temporarily, he probably left his family back home where we don't have to give them food stamps and free health care and schooling --- he'll probably go back for good someday ------ it's more important to do something about all those moving their entire families over here even though they --- or we can't begin to afford having them here.

"Those detained included five people from Mexico, four from Russia, four from Mongolia, one from Slovakia and one from El Salvador. They ranged in age from 20 to 35. Agents released them later that day with a notice to appear in front of an immigration judge in Atlanta in April 2004.

I said this was much ado about nothing and that these illegals would be released within an hour. This play acting at enforcing the law is designed to fool angry voters into actually believing that the administration is actually doing something about illegals. We are not fooled.

Nearly 200,000 illegal immigrants are believed to be residing in North Carolina, and news of the arrests on Thursday didn't take long to get around. In North Carolina, the sweep began at 5 a.m. when authorities burst into four Wal-Mart stores and arrested 14 men and one women who were working on cleaning crews.

But most think that if they don't commit crimes and live a quiet life, the risks are minimal. "They also know that if they work hard and comply with the laws, it's very likely that they can stay here as long as they want," Ortiz-Rocha said.

Stories like this would make me want to run right out and vote for President Bush, if I lived in North Carolina.

The money Mexican workers in the United States send back to their home country is one of Mexico's largest sources of income.

This is the problem, right here. I keep saying that the only way the problem will be solved is to go after the employers. Make it painful enough and they'll stop hiring illegals.

The wages he earns in six or seven months here allow him to spend the rest of the year relaxing at his home on Mexico's Pacific Coast.

And Americans pay for his medical care while he's here, and he's probably working for cash and not paying taxes. Many Americans would like to be able to relax at the beach too, but we're too busy working to support this guy and his millions of buddies. Now I know why they call it the DREAM ACT. It's a NIGHTMARE for American taxpayers.

f immigration agents show up at the intersection in Carrboro where he often waits for work as a day laborer, Ramirez said, he won't stick around. "If they come, I'll run," Ramirez, 47, vowed Monday as he reclined in a lawn chair among a group of about 40 men waiting at the corner in hopes of finding work.

I called INS to report that there were 40 day laborers hanging out on this corner in Carrboro. They took the report but, I wonder if they will do anything about it...

I suggest everyone call INS and call the report in. I volunteer to drive by at least once a week and see if they are still there. Then we call INS again....lets take back our country
