Hey, those clowns make good money with the undocumented workers they hire!

And I bet the IRS would be interested in their undocumented profits, too..

And lets not forget the Russian Mafia that has made great inroads in this country.

We have 75,000 immigrants from former USSR countries here in Sacramento, CA. Many are involved in crime, but the vast majority whom I deal with are hardworking, assimilating American immigrants. They remind me of what I've read of the early Italian and Irish immigrants. Crime was a path for some, but the opportunities in America, combined with their values, created much of what our great country is today.

But, I believe the hordes sweeping up from Mexico and Central America are mostly doomed. They will, as the author stated, become a "permanent underclass", banned from our gated communities after dark. And for many, doomed to a life of violence, poverty and prison.

That's because of the LIBERAL LIE that we have no culture in this country

It is the same liberal lie they use in every 'new world' country.The 'we're a nation of immigrants' line is used to prop-up everything new and different(no matter how negative its effects on society) and deride everything that is traditional.Multiculturalism,since the 1960s,has stunted the cultural development of all 'new world' countries.Anyone whose ancestry traces back further than a couple of generations in a new world country has been dispossesed of their identity and turned into cultureless 'hosts'.

Multiculture=no culture.

Yep, you've got it down pretty well. One more BUMP for exposure.

A cessation of the present flood would encourage assimilation.

Better border control plus higher deportation rates and an increase of enforcement of the laws against hiring ilegals would go a long way towards solving this problem.

A program like that would be popular with 70%+ of the American people.

And yet, no major politician wants to touch it.

Some come with a chip on their shoulder toward the United States, he says, which they blame for the political and economic failure of their home countries

Yes we are responsible for this. We invaded Mexico, flew the American flag in Mexico city in 1847, but gave it back to the corrupt goverment that started the war by not honoring the agreement General Santa Anna signed that acknowledged Texas as an independent state.

After giving Mexico back, we continued to prop up the corrupt governments and today, we allow Mexico a parasitic relationship with the US by disregarding the massive illegal immigration and allowing the blantantly illegal foreign aid program of remittances to keep the GDP of Mexico healthy and the cash flowing to support their failed goverment.

Yep, its all our fault.

You forgot Kofi Annan!

[B4Ranch]

Oh come on, you cannot be against the glorious idea of diversity. Why aren't you compassionate?

[B4Ranch]

>>no major politician wants to touch it.<<

That would require brass. Brass has been banned by both parties.

Comment #92 was addressed to me, and I didn't even get a chance to read it before it was deleted... it must have been a doozy!

[Gritty]

We have lost the country, and it is time to come up with Plan B. In fact, Plan B probably won't work, and we need a Plan C or a Plan D to save whatever can be saved.

"Plan A" - The government deals with it within the law

"Plan B" - Committees of Vigilance

"Plan C" - Civil War

There is no "Plan D", unless "rolling over and taking it" is considered a Plan.
