Since you don't live here, it's none of your damn business. We're trying to elect someone who represents us. We don't give a flying whatnot what anyone else outside the district thinks about the matter.

Then keep your dismal little crybaby tales and disingenous schemes in the Arizona state forum, okay?

You think it was different when it was whiskey and wine?

It wont matter which party wins in the long run if Rove has his way and turns this county into a world state. Every amnesty immigrant by federal law will be allowed to vote thus diluting our votes in the long run should this party’s new platform be allowed to take hold and they win. Offering citizenship to every person the planet, suggests that US citizenship has no more advantage accept than being forced to pay taxes to the majority of the worlds workers so that only a few can benefit from cheep labor. Collecting taxes for more social services and diluting the political voice of the citizen is not a republic value, but then things have changed as amnesty being part of the platform does just that!

The illegal immigrants will work for nothing because their living expenses are being paid for (socialism is not a republican value), and they will vote solicits-republic in 2008 cause they are being offers amnesty in 2005, that is Roves grand plan. Slavery and plantations ended in the civil war, communism failed, but these geniuses planning the future of the republican party perhaps just forgot their history, how else can anybody explain such poor vision?

Unless this party turns back to its conservative base their own demise will be unstoppable regardless if we vote wisely. By the diluting of our votes from the registration of these new comers, every legal US citizen in the long run will have less and less representation and less and less of a political voice. Throwing away things (votes) that amount to nothing is justifiable; ...at least here in the southwest...

It would truly help you cause if you stopped the hysterical hyperbole; there were over 900,000 apprehensions of illegal aliens attempting to cross the Southwestern border illegally in Fiscal 2003. That figure does not take into account apprehensions at the Canadian border, airports, or sea ports.

I wouldn't want to go there, Luis. Don't know if I saved the article, but Hutchinson or Bonner openly admitted they only catch maybe one in five. Think it was on Lou Dobbs' show. ICE's record for interior enforcement is even less favorable.

Then they need to look for another forum to post that crap on; this one is supporting Bush for re-election.

Mind you, that's ONLY apprehensions by the Border Patrol, and ONLY in those States listed.

It doesn't take into account the interceptions at sea by the US Coast Guard, and what apprehensions happen elsewhere in the nation.

Then it certainly undercuts the mindless hyperbole about the border being wide open and no one doing anything to stop the misdemeanor border crossings.

The poster is yammering about unenforced borders, Marine Inspector's numbers paint a picture of something other than uninforced borders.

One in five?

More guessing?

Check out this 'golden oldie'.

Who are we? Free Republic is a loosely organized group of grassroots Americans who support our Constitution and look for honesty, integrity and honor from those in government. Like millions of Americans, we are fed up with our out of control federal government. Therefore, we are working together to roll back decades of liberal/socialist public policy and eliminate the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption pervasive in Washington today.

We also call for the strengthening of our military and defenses; the effective control over illegal immigration and smuggling; the paying down the national debt; and strict control over federal agencies like the CIA and the FBI

I can't stand that Bush hasn't responded to the illegal immigrant issue and that our borders are wide open...but then again, what's the alternative? sKerry and "Silky Pony"?

Was the government watching tons of that stuff come over too? The border is watched in some places which is good but the policies are very lax in general, you rarely have to show an ID at either type of border check-point and very few cars or trucks are checked.

I'm am a great Googler, and I failed to find one single quote from Hutchinson saying that we only stopped one in five illegal aliens trying to cross the border.

I'd like to see your source.
