Perhaps some LEOs should be arrested for obstruction of justice under Federal law....

The problem with fining the employers is that they Illegal ladies can have a child and then the entire family stays on welfare benefits-Job or no Job.

This entire country has become a Roach Hotel — ‘cause they check in, but they don’t check out...

Has Lily Mesa been bribed or blackmailed, or is she determined to make it safer for terrorists to plan another 9/11?

>Its like cleaning up your kitchen to solve a roach problem.<

Just wear pointy shoes so you can kill them in the corners.

New Hampshire used to be a slam dunk conservative state. This stinks

Rep. Lily Mesa, D-Manchester

A little background info

[bimmer_n_me]

She is 42 years old and she is a grandmother already? Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I have no further questions.

[TLI]

struck me as odd that whatcha see there is the only pic I could find.

[Mr J]

I wonder if the Dems will maintain or increase their majority in ‘08?

[dashing doofus]

Well, Manchester is really the only city in the state with any significant amount of random, gang related violence. I guess she likes action.

[dashing doofus]

It is a very sad situation, and I fear it may be irreversible, thanks to our huckster of a Governor and his allies in the new D-majority....

True, but the employers would be taking a tremendous gamble in knowingly hiring an illegal in the first place.

I think removing the incentives: a job, government services, unelecting pandering Democrats, would help significantly.

Unfortunately however, career politicians of both stripes have had substantial incentive (largely campaign contributions) to do nothing to enforce the laws. The Republicans got donations from small business lobby, who enjoy the cheap labor. The Dems get donations from the lawyers and organized, public sector unions, who will provide services to the illegals.

Bush can do something now. Lame duck status means that he no longer needs to pander. He can do something very positive in his last few months in office, and use the bully pulpit to expose the politicians' motives for doing nothing. I guess I have gone idealistic again, and my bubble is bound to be burst. Again.

[Mr J]

In my opinion, if there isn’t a major backlash in ‘08, with the Republicans taking back either the legislature or the governorship, or both, you’ll be proven right.

[rmlew]

Actually it should be invaded, its government overthrown and its officials arrested, and martial law imposed until a new, more responsible government is elected. Hell, it worked in the South, right?

Sounds like a plan. Please come through New York on your Way up restoring a republican government.

[rmlew]

The Know Nothings had a point in the 1850's about being selective in granting citizenship and having people wait 20 years to vote!

She is proof of the leftist plot to replace America.

Isn’t the NH state motto : Live FREE or DIE? So are all the conservatives there just going to die off with a whimper, or FIGHT?

[TheLion]

Bttt!
