Maybe, But I’m pretty sure he took full advantage of it.

Who gives a sh** if they are deported. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned. Get rid of all of them, stop paying them to live here, stop medical aide, stop welfare, stop all social services to illegals regardless of where they come from. CA really needs to stop paying 14 billion dollars a year for services to illegals. What an idiot Arrrrrnold is. I am glad I didn’t vote for the Austrian Asshole.

LOL! Not one word on how maybe they should try to imrpove their home countries or why their corrupt home countries make their lot there awful. They just want to import their misery here and they will vote for leftist and tyrant scum like they did back home.

There may be large segments of Mexicans here that ARE as you describe; however I do not think it is particularly right to use such an all-inclusive statement.

You can be sure there are large segments of illegals that are as described. I used to be friends with a legal Mexican immigrant, he tried and tried to pass citizenship test to be an american, finally made it. The people where I worked were happy for him and we celebrated. However, he had a brother, he was here legally also, but he didn't want to be a citizen of the US and actually hated being here and wanted Mexico to be better so he could go back. He thought his brother was a jerk for becoming a citizen. He couldn't grasp that Mexico would never be like the US but he wanted it to be and wanted to go back when it did. He finally wound up in jail for stabbing a US citizen, during a drinking bout.

It's not a problem with "Mexicans". It's a problem with criminals and illegals who disregard everything American. They can hit the road.

I believe the demographics, culture, education, medical care, economy and political environment have already been impacted and damaged beyond restoration by the massive levels of illegal immigration from Central America, Asia and the Middle East ..

Sadly, I agree. There just does not appear to be anything on the horizon that could even start to reverse these trends.

First let me say that when I use the word “illegal” I’m talking about foreign nationals in this country in violation of our laws. Despite what LaRaza and LULAC say, it is possible for a person to be “illegal” or a “criminal”.
I think what bothers me most of all is that the upcoming amnesty signals to those from a corrupt country like Mexico that we are no different: that crime pays. All they have to do is `wait out the law’.
There are 6 illegals now to every illegal here in `86. Studies show (don’t give me a research & writing assignment—look it up yourself) that the new citizens then acted as `safe houses’ for their friends and realtives. Ten per cent of Mexico’s population now lives in `los Estados Unidos’. A Sonoran delegate recently stated that Sonorans consider Arizona and Sonora to be `one and the same’.
If past practice is any indicator, soon our `newly minted’ fellow American lawbreakers will promptly send out invitations to their shirt-tail relatives and friends in Mexico and points south to come live with them, in vilolation of our immigration laws, and despite any conditions attached to an amnesty—a dozen or more to a 2 BR house as they learned to live, and in 20 years when we have 12 illegals to every one we have now, I expect our children will look to us—in disbelief—and ask, “You did this twice before? You just kicked this problem down the road to us?”

Massive immigration, legal or illegal, from the third world will only decrease the standard of living for middle and lower class Americans.

My message to liberals is that in your heart you know you don’t want your children growing up in a country overrun by the third world.

Yes, but Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, Hollywood stars, etc all live in armed camps. They don’t care if we are raped, murdered, kidnapped, etc., as long as they leave them alone.

If we close the border and send them home as we catch them this problem will sort itself out in a few years.
Do you really think the agribusiness will shut down if the illegals are sent home? That is a crazy assumption. All these farmers are not just going to give up and not grow crops. They will figure out how to do it will legal workers only when they have to.

There may be large segments...

I live in a small community with a large number of illegal aliens from Mexico. Right now, most are getting ready to go "home" for the holidays.

Put the employers in prison and the illegals will deport themselves without all this hand wringing.

I see, and I don’t think it’s right, mind you. I DO think that the existing immigration-laws should be enforced; I also think that our immigration system needs a bit of an overhaul. I can also see giving the “anchor babies” a grace period to sign-up to become a citizen; but failing that, throw the bums who flout the law out.

In fact, I’ve said before that there’s no reason we HAVE to deport them to their country of origin... and we could make up some propaganda, like the Government selling them as slaves on other continents to discourage immigration of the illegal kind.

Correction. Mexico is the country of shattered dreams.

Yeah, so there I was...in the Kennedy compound living my dream as an undocumented adopted family member. Those selfish bastards had the nerve to call the police and have me removed.

They shattered my dream of being fat, drunk and stupid and serving as a member of the U.S. Senate.

>>With unemployment in CA over 7%, it should be hard to justify the need for more undocumented workers.<<

And I would not be surprised if it eventually rose much higher.

Many illegal migrants remain in the United States undisturbed for years, because they are essential as a workforce.

Obviously, an objective, balanced writer here. "Essential" in the sense that the employers want cheap, docile labor. But if Obama and Co. succeed with amnesty, those "cheap" workers will cost more, so we will "need" more illegal aliens to replace them.

"House of shattered dreams: US deports more and more Mexicans"

I have a few dreams, too --

First, that several dozen illegals will stop fouling up the street corner where they loiter looking for work, and stop sleeping in the canyon next to our busy intersection.

Second, that the illegals stop leering at the girls and women who pass by doing their daily business.

Third, that the local police would help enforce at least the anti-loitering laws, much less the immigration laws.

Whose dream trumps whose?
