Illegals - just doing the work the folks back home won't do.

Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Makes me wonder how many of the immigrants on federal assistance are “poor” simply becuase they send the bulk of their paycheck HOME.

paying smugglers as much as $7,000 to guide them into the United States... then they can afford a $5,000 fine and should pay their own hospital bills.

Interesting that this is causing problems in the home countries too, and not just here. Seems like a lose/lose for everyone.

Not doing the work that Guatemalans hate doing.

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

I see the U.S. as a pinata, getting the stuffing beat out of it.

Last month I had to go to Lake Worth Florida. The part of town I went to looked like an Indian village in Guatemala

>>”I don’t want to study. It’s boring,” said Nery Raul Rodas, 14. “I’m just waiting for my dad to fix my papers so that I can go to the U.S. to work.” <<<

There’s the kind of immigrant we want to take it! Let’s legalize this guy!

It’s true, isn’t it? Studying is boring. Why study when I can be illiterate, show up at the US, and have American sell-outs throwing themselves at my dirty feet?

I’d like to know where they get the $7000 for the smuggler in the first place. Something just doesn’t add up here.

They are not the penniless urchins that Dems want you to believe that they are. Those stay home.

Some 48,000 Guatemalans left between 2005-2006, almost all to the U.S.

A thousand a week.

Enforce the border.

Former Congressman Henry Bonilla wrote a book, and one thing he brought out was that his hispanic community was so bad about impressing education on their children. He took a lot of flack for it, but he was right.

Here’s another article:
Hispanic boys have lowest grad rate in DPS (Denver - 19%)

[snip]Fewer than one in five Hispanic boys enrolled in Denver middle schools graduates from a city high school five years after starting eighth grade, an analysis by the Rocky Mountain News has found. Only 19 percent of Hispanic male eighth-graders enrolled in Denver Public Schools in fall 2001 graduated from a DPS high school in spring 2006, the lowest rate of any student group analyzed in the study.
