"...they're getting creating the American nightmare."
*there*...all fixed!
If we continue to let the moonbats control the language, and make illegal legal, leach into immigrant, "Give us your angry, your insane, your massing terrorists...yearning to wreck havoc on our nation."
Show me any law abiding foreigner working hard to earn citizenship and learn the language, I'll show you someone who has my utmost respect, and deserves all the benefits of being an "American".
Otherwise... get the hell out, and stay out.
/generalized flame off.
Ping - we need to treat illegal aliens better.
Illegal aliens are getting the "American nightmare" because they're entering the United States illegally. If they would come here legally, then they could persue the "American dream".
The advocacy group says U-S immigration policy is so complicated that many people could starve to death before they could immigrate legally.
Funny, I don't see many Mexican illegal aliens who look like they're starving to death. In fact, many of these illegal aliens pay smugglers thousands of dollars to get them safely over the border. So apparently these illegal aliens have plenty of money to buy food.
Most of the usual suspects fronting for Business have been absent.
Lately all there is are the ACLU and this no-name group that has little tradition with immigration.
Maybe the National Immigration Forum is refining their attack - or spending less money on it.
Fernando Ortiz was a ‘landscape engineer’ on Long Island who had demanded to be able to vote, on the basis that he had been paying state and federal taxes for ten years. Actually, he had been stopped from casting a ballot by a poll watcher who had suspected his citizenship status, and (illegally, as it turned out) demanded proof of his identity and legal qualification to vote. Ortiz had won a multi-million dollar settlement against the Republican Party of New York in the subsequent “racial profiling and ethnic intimidation” civil suit, but he did not stop there.
Instead, with massive support from the ACLU and various Hispanic “immigrants rights” foundations, he had pressed his demand to be allowed to vote all the way to the Supreme Court…and he won. The Supreme Court, in its famous 5-4 decision, ruled that negligence in securing America’s borders against illegal immigration on the part of the federal government, could not be held against “undocumented workers who played by the rules and paid their taxes,” once they were established in America—legally or not. The federal government had not taken reasonable efforts to secure the border, and had not pursued "undocumented workers" in the USA. Instead, it openly permitted them most of the benefits of citizenship, and it collected their taxes. "No taxation without representation!" was the cry heard all the way to the Supreme Court. The State of New York had then sleep-walked through an aimless and desultory case for denying the vote—and citizenship—to “undocumented workers.”
Following Ortiz v. New York, a stunned America woke up to discover that there were not only an amazing twenty-two million illegal aliens hiding in plain sight across the land, but that eight million of them immediately qualified to vote. In a nation split 50-50 down party and ideological lines, these eight million new voters were recognized to be the certain majority-makers in future elections, and both parties set record lows for cravenness in pandering to their “needs.” Chief among their “needs” were liberal new family reunification laws, and these instant citizens—illegal aliens only a year before—began bringing the remainders of their families to the USA. Legally.
Overnight, wavering Democrat states became locks, and swing states with large Hispanic populations went solidly “blue.” The result was the recent election which had brought Gobernador Deleon to power in Nuevo Mexico, and had also brought radical Democrats to power in the White House and both houses of congress.
Thus had come the political tsunami which swept all before it, a tidal wave triggered by an undocumented lawn maintenance worker named Fernando Ortiz.
They have a sense of entitlement like nothing I've ever seen before. How can anyone say they're being mistreated? We, the American taxpayers, are the ones being mistreated and cheated, along with being lied to by our "leaders".
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
They are creating a nightmare for the citizens and Legal residents of this country. What a lie they tell.
We go all over this planet enforcing borders for countries who cannot, and we leave our own fort gates wide open for invasion.
That is wrong.
As I see it now the future of Mexico is in question. Enabling the emmigration of their people shows they have given up. The only step that remains is annexation and determining how many new US states will be formed from the former 32 Mexican states.
[[ Advocates for illegal immigrants say they deserve the same chance as the ancestors of most Americans.]]
They deserve????? Since when are people entitled to come to this country????
What planet are they on? If nothing else haven't they heard
Americans are fed up with illegal immigration? This "we can't wait around to immigrate legally means "screw you gringos, your laws suck, we don't have to follow them, we are here so give us the benefits, meanwhile we will wreck havoc or your culture".
Kinda' makes the bile rise in my throat.
What a mess and the illegal immigrants get more arrogant by the day as their numbers increase. That's what happens when you let problem fester. The children of illegal immigrants are legal if born in America. Another huge problem ahead.
Maybe a court decision could make it so without a shiny new law. To wit, advocates for ILLEGAL immigrants should be considered de facto sponsors and as such "deeming" would apply.
All resources of the advocate-sponsor would be deemed to be available to the immigrants.
Advocates say ILLEGAL immigrants deserve the same chance as our ancestors. I agree -- if the advocates pay all the living expenses of the ILLEGAL immigrants, their families, aged parents, cousins. . . .
End of advocates for ILLEGAL immigrants, I bet. (Though it is a very lucrative industry rivaling the civil rights industry.)
