Contending that U.S. borders are more secure than ever, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer said Wednesday it's time for the White House and Congress to overhaul immigration laws to stem the number of people coming into and living illegally in the U.S.

"We can pass strong, fair, practical and effective immigration reform this year," said Schumer, D-N.Y.

First step close the border, seond nothing that legalizes the illegals already here is acceptable. If you think the uproar in 2006 was large just wait! With unemployement as high as it is they should be being sent home PDQ!

With the news that ACORN is operating in Mexico I’m now wondering if they’re paying to bring illegals to this country to protest.

Coming into Houston, going through the passport inspection, I saw all kinds of secure measures, jewelers eye glasses, checking for forged documents, finger prints, digital camera clicks....WHY are they so darn picky at the airports, when anyone can just walk into the country crossing the desert, and apply for forged documents and get amnesty?

We need to fight this because a lot of unemployed Americans are pissed off and will be against any amnesty.
