"in this country that ILLEGALS have more clout than us taxpayers "

That's not correct.

"This crap will end when OUR government REALLY gets serious about protecting Americans"

Our government is serious about protecting Americans.

Unfortunately some people want resources being used to protect Americans to be diverted to reducing the number of illegal dishwashers and garbage collectors they fear are taking all the good jobs away from them.

" drop a little U-235 in there and let them come on.. at least they will not be popping out babies here "

You represent the anti-Hispanics very well.

No, we just want the immigration laws already on the books enforced. It's that too much to ask?

Apparently, you're in favor of selective enforcement of the law or worse yet outright lawbreaking.

What are you, some kind of open border libertarian?

Typical anti-Hispanic mentality.

Be careful.. might ignite a grease fire that we could not put out for weeks.

Could a moderator do something about this post, please. Last time I checked, the "Posting Comment" page says "NO racism."

Illegals crossing our borders is a MAJOR security threat. With the millions of them crossing our borders, how hard could it be for a few Arabic types to come across with them? Ya could drop a Arabic into a group of Mexicans, and most could not tell the difference unless they really looked good, and some could not even then.
Considering these also transport tons of cocaine and marijuana, how hard could it possibly be for one to carry five pounds of Anthrax spores?

And do not try to feed me that line about how "none of the 9/11 hijackers came from Mexico". Waiting until AFTER it happens to act is suicidal. As porous as the border is right now.. terrorists would have NO PROBLEM crossing the south border. As it gets tougher to come in other ways.. do not kid yourself in thinking that option will never occur to them.

but the government sure likes more tax payers.

That idea isn't quite true.

First, most illegals only pay sales tax on purchase. They don't pay income tax. They send billions of dollars (untaxed income) to Mexico.

Second, because of their 'situation', the rest of American taxpayers end up subsidizing their education, their social services, and their welfare (health services). This is more billions of dollars out of the American economy.

Every illegal, in sum total, ends up being a negative, economically. The ones who benefit are the illegals and the companies that employ them. The ones who lose are the American taxpayers.

But someday, a few will cross with some highly contageous third-world diseases and spread plague and contagion that will wipe out a significant portion of the un-immune, unsuspecting population. So, that wipes out your net gain of potentially new taxpayers.

I heartily agree. That was a sickening and racist thing to post. (#14)

The potential is much more dangerous than a myopic 'we are keeping them from picking broccoli'.

The point is: Without controls, we have no idea who are coming across the borders, but we do know they are coming across by the thousands.

One Reporter's Opinion – Importing Disease George Putnam Friday, Feb 25, 2005 It is this reporter's opinion that when the president and first lady return from the fence-mending trip to Europe, he and the 'Ayatollah in the White House,' Karl Rove, need to lock themselves in the Oval Office and review the findings of the February 17, 2005 testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee: Three of the nation's highest-ranking Homeland Security officials issued a chilling warning that al-Qaida will exploit our lax border enforcement to infiltrate terrorists and weaponry into the United States.

RUTHERFORD INSTITUTE.COM ^ | DECEMBER 13, 2004 | JOHN W. WHITEHEAD
As an American, I have always been inspired by the fact that my country welcomes those who seek refuge. And as long as our government officials maintain our borders and ensure that those coming from other countries are screened in order to protect those who legally live here, the concept of welcoming immigrants is a noble one. However, something has gone awry. Indeed, illegal immigration into the U.S. has become an immense problem and a clear and present danger. Documented illegal immigration has more than doubled in the last decade. It has grown, by conservative counts, from 3.5 million in...

Contagious diseases are entering the United States because of immigrants, illegal aliens, refugees and travelers, and World Health Organization officials say the worst could be yet to come. In addition to a list of imported diseases that includes tuberculosis, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis B, measles and the potentially deadly parasitic disease Chagas, officials fear what could happen if the avian flu, which is flourishing among poultry in Southeast Asia, mutates so that it is capable of human-to-human transmission through casual contact

Our government is serious about protecting Americans.

I hadn't noticed.

Unfortunately some people want resources being used to protect Americans to be diverted to reducing the number of illegal dishwashers and garbage collectors they fear are taking all the good jobs away from them.

And when they're not washing dishes and collecting garbage...

Jesus J. Robles-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was convicted by a Jefferson County jury last week of second-degree assault and driving without a license for a crash in May that injured a woman in Herculaneum.

Assistant Prosecutor Steve Jerrell said Robles-Sanchez was driving drunk on Commercial Boulevard at Riverview Drive in Herculaneum on May 7, when his SUV struck the rear of a car driven by Angela Biehle as she waited to turn left onto Riverview Drive.

I can't speak for others, but I'll accept your apology at face value.

As a legal immigrant, naturalized American, and high-wage earner, I share your frustration at the current state of immigration policy on both sides of the border. But our mutual goal of fair immigration is undermined by the actual and perceived racist motives of those at the forefront of efforts to fix this broken system.

Please contact a neurologist....

Contact a detox center while you're at it.

Between the two of them, you may at last be helped with your delusions.
