Good arguments. It's a shame nobody's listening in D.C.

Illegal immigrants do take jobs Americans don't want. Prostitute. Sweat shop worker. Labor for less than the going rate. No benefits, no taxes withheld. It would be more efficient to put the employers behind bars than to try to round up all the illegals.

Ya know, my mother for years paid $60.00 to an illegal alien from Mexico to come and clean her house. She paid her in cash and the people who have house cleaning businesses who are legal Americans lose out on business. Not saying my mom was wrong cause I loved her housekeeper Maria, but this proves the point that Mexicans aren't taking jobs that Americans won't do,it is that Mexicans take less pay that legal American's can do.

It is time to seal the borders. America would be so much stronger if we would keep our borders closed to illegals!

With 5% unemployment as the Economic standard for "full employment" and the US Unemployment rate at 4.7% where do the replacement workers for the Illegals come from? Remember, that 5% includes the unemployable (handicaps, elderly and infirm) as well as the marginally employable (personality defects, drug abusers, the lazy, the criminal etc).

So just strictly on ECONOMICS, not who is right or who is wrong, where do we get the replacement workers to fill the Illegals jobs after they are deported?

The illegals are on welfare the bill that Senate passes should take away ALL welfare from them.

BTW, Mr. President, do you realize how arrogant and insulting you are being when you use the "Jobs Americans won't do" argument?

A. He has no clue - this is obvious B. He just doesn't care C. Both A & B

Another line that needs to stop, "we can't just deport all of the illegals, there are too many of them".

Bullshirt. Lets expand that line:

We can't arrest all the pot smokers, there are too many of them.

We can't arrest all the rapists, there are too many of them.

We can't arrest all the speeders, there are too many of them.

We can't arrest all the crack sellers, there are too many of them.

We can't arrest all the tax cheaters, there are too many of them.

I think you get my point.

Maybe it's time for us to play the race card?

"Illgal aliens are taking away the jobs blacks used to do."

Gads, that's racist. I sound like a frigging democrat....

Umm I see. Wishful thinking and fantasy and yet another Immigration thread given to the same old slef validating ranting instead of a SERIOUS discussion based on the Economics of the issue.

Good luck getting that thru either the local, the State or the Federal Govt.

As I am hearing lately, I bet Maria paid her taxes on that and the other money she made, right? Right? Yea right!

I say we all go to Yuma and take McLame up on his offer for $50 an hour to pick lettuce!

I have worked construction in Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, Bullhead City and Laughlin Nevada.. It's hot but I can do it, I was run out because of the illegals.

Don't you know silly? All of those good hard-working Americans who just gave up looking for work in this depressed Bush economy are just waiting to bust out of the gates to go to work under a Democrat Administration.

This is the worst Economy since Herbert Hoover, dammit! Didn't you listen to a thing John Kerry said last year?

I think you get my point.

Yep. The majority of murderers, thieves, pot smokers, speeders, rapists, crack sellers and tax thieves are never caught.

There are too many of them.

You get caught doing any one of those things and see where you end up! Thats my point.

Since Hawaii is pretty hard for Mexicans to sneak into, I wonder how it is they manage to harvest fruit and how any hotels and restaurants there can possibly survive.
