The article has internal logical inconsistencies - a sure sign of liberal thinking...

"The point is that America has survived and prospered with every wave of immigrants, be they the Irish, Itlaians, Jews, etc.etc."

There has never been an immigration wave like this in US history. I guess we'll see how it will change the country.

I guess I'm the 'overexcitable'! :-)

'fraid so. As onyx says, "Debate the facts and we win EVERY time."

Most people east of the Mississippi have no idea what is going west of it. Where are all of the major media outlets? East of the Mississippi.

Connecticut Town Struggles With Illegal Immigrants

Thursday, April 28, 2005

DANBURY, Conn. - This middle-class New England suburb is nowhere near an international border but it still has the illegal immigration problems familiar to cities like San Diego and Tucson, Ariz.

Mayor Mark Boughton blames the government for his town's inability to cope with 15,000 illegal immigrants, approximately 19 percent of the overall population.

"This is one community that has been incredibly stressed by failed federal policy and we need help," said Boughton.

Because the illegal residents aren't counted in the U.S. census, Danbury doesn't receive any federal aid for them.

"In terms of our social services, this presents a tremendous strain, particularly on quality of life of our neighborhoods, our schools our health care system," Boughton said.

Residents complain the influx is killing property values. Homeowner Peter Gadiel said neighbors are fed up. "They're blue collar workers and their whole life savings is tied up in their house and they're seeing their neighborhood being destroyed."

The mayor says he wants state police officers to be deputized as federal immigration officers - giving them access to a federal database and helping them track illegal immigrants. But Connecticut's attorney general said Boughton needs the approval of the governor and others before that can happen.

Boughton has set up a task force to inspect neighborhoods that have received a lot of complaints about buildings housing illegal immigrants. In one home, the task force found 30 cots in the basement, each one being rented for $5 a nigh

Knock it off.

Oh you mean like ICO's reply #62, quote,

So be it. This Dane character should be deported"

You all should really get off, and in this I mean, the addictive race baiting ways of tom tancredo rhetoric.

As long as people believe this bullcrap, illegal immigration will continue and current illegals will not be deported. In reality, as the cheap labor market shrinks, pay will go up and the unemployed LEGAL workers will take the jobs and benefit from the increased pay. When we no longer have to pay for free medical care, education and incarceration of illegals, our expenses (and crime) will go down. What doesn't wash we can handle, and our borders will be protected.

Exactly correct.

You don't get it, do you?

KNOCK IT OFF! Stop with the personal attacks.

Dane is a good FReeper who just happens to hold a differing view.

Personal attacks will not only get the thread pulled
but also NEVER ever persuade anybody to our side.

Dane is over at DU trying to come up with more material.

Dude you really shouldn't post form your bathroom(not good etiqutte), but what the hey, why should I be the one to chastise you as you are "sitting" in the bathroom posting, from your wieless connection and, IMO, getting some sort of weird pleasure, automatically posting to every word I say.

Now go back to DU and say how tolerant I've become.
