Do you have any evidence that the powers that be have any problem at all with the current policy of the mexican government?

Even if Bush and his other buddies have no problem with this, citizens are becoming increasingly pissed and our own government and both major political parties continue to lose legitimacy in the eyes of the public. While they dream of a new world order, what they will get is first neo-feudalism followed either by The Caliphate or a socialist "utopia".

No need for race wars. Its the poorly paid jobs.....round up all slave traders, slave masters and slave enablers...end of problem in one week.
Thanks for a great post. The one thing I would add is that the "slave traders" are the American businessmen that invite illegal aliens to the US and employ them. The same American businessmen that helped elect Bush in the first place. The same American businessmen that will switch sides in the interest having cheap labor.

Crippling fines (ie. the corporate death penalty) would solve the problem in a flash. Does anybody see that happening?

I don't buy the corporate argument that it is "too hard" to verify their employees documentation and so they are not "responsible" when they employee undocumented workers. They have solved much more difficult problems when it has been in their interest to do so. I don't think illegal immigration is what they are spending their lobbying dollars in Washington on. At least as far as changing the current system.

Even those that don't employ illegal aliens directly benefit from the overall suppression of labor costs.

In general the illegal immigrants are a group of hard working mostly poor people using the immigration system as it was designed. Politicians of both parties see immigration quotas as a no win situation. No matter what they do a lot of people will be angry. It's easier to tolerate the current system with a little token enforcement thrown in to cover their tracks.

If you dry up the pool of American corporate jobs the hard working and honest people will go back to where they can get jobs and improve their countries at the same time. It's the humane thing to do. The criminals belong in jail. Preferably in their home countries, here if necessary.

But the biggest criminals are American businessmen who nurture the system. I have a hard time seeing any of them viewing the inside of a locked jail cell anytime soon.

Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans and other South Americans (by origin) aren't about to join the Mejicano's in any intifada anytime soon. Only an ignorant anglo would try to lump us all into the same bag. Besides, I don't think the Mejicano's are going to revolt either, much easier to take the bus back home.

Great tag line. A Latin quote always adds a whiff of erudition.

You got that right. Count this hispanic in with the patriots as fighting against any type of “intifada.” The illegals will never win. They will be crushed and defeated. Andres is a true nut!

In this Freep list the catholic church gets credit for aiding the illegals march, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1607145/posts
I have read story after story the supporters of illegals are The ACLU, AFL-CIO, The Democrat Party and the Catholic Church. One of the main supporters of the Amnesty bill was the Catholic Church. Do you home work

I just hate the "redefining" of the term Hispanic by the left to invoke suspicion of illegality and then mistrust. It's an intentional provocation made in the intent to cause racial tension and divide our nation's patriots against one another.

Sadly, some people fall for it. Fortunately most people on this board know better.

“...yawn...”

Yes, “yawn”...pretty much your standard response to any of the criminal acts of the illegal aliens you help to impose on the American public everyday.

That pretty much characterized your response to the murders of those college kids in New Jersey, including the young girl who had her face literally sliced off her skull by an illegals you’ve helped to support.

It seems as if no horrors visited upon American citizens dissuade people like you. It’s unfortunate that the suffering brought to American citizens by the likes of these people you support aren’t limited to those you and those like you care about...assuming you care about anyone. It would be much more just if the advocates of illegal aliens were also the victims of the terror and disease they bring.

Yeah, but then some disaffected CIA Agent looking for glory, like Philip Agee or John Stockwell would write a book about it, appear on all the talk shows, a la Bruce Ritter, and add yet more half-assed complications to the mix.

I did my homework, thanks. I shared it and you have ignored it. Broad brushed accusations are the tool of the lazy mind.
There are great many of non-hispantic and hispanic Catholics that don’t fit into your accusations. That fact makes your comments highly falacious.
A real shame to attack good American folks who you might have something in common. You, instead of looking to make connections with those who would be friends based on political issues agreement, has seen fit to attack them.

The whole church is NOT involved True. Just the leaders and their illegal aliens..

The truth hurts, doesn't it?Find something worth whining about. Lazy is as lazy does....What have you contributed except a personal insult?

The whole church is NOT involved True. Just the leaders and their illegal aliens.

For some reason I’m hearing “Dueling Banjos” in my head when I read this.
