forgotten man: You only see the hardworking ones. The hard working illegal immigrants are highly visible. What you don’t see is their families sucking at the public teat or the criminal illegals in our jails.

Windflier: What you don't see, are all the state and federal goodies those "hard working" immigrants are receiving in subsidies. They couldn't work for peanuts unless they had their hands in the American taxpayers' pockets.

I see Americans electing a government that uses our tax dollars to cover all of this. What is your plan for getting Americans to vote for a government that won’t use our tax dollars to pay for this?

Pain. Americans have to feel a lot more pain before they do what they have to do to change this.

I think the ‘tea party’ should act as a shadow GOP by 2016, holding state, and then national, nominating conventions ahead of the GOP primaries and convention.

This would set them up to coalesce behind a single, conservative presidential candidate; more easily replace the usual GOP traitors; and start filing as a separate party and outright replace the GOP by 2020.

Meanwhile, we should be screaming from the rooftops to mobilize the grassroots now to stop the amnesty surrender that Boehner, Rubio, Ryan, and others plan for 2014.
