I wonder if our elected officials get this or if they have the courage to do the right thing? I worry that our Republican Elected Officials in the Texas House will cave out of fear of the open borders crowd and not even let Debbie Riddles bill out of the Calenders committee. The best way back the minority party is to kill our good conservative legislation.

To me the word "racist" has no meaning, not only because of its overuse, but because the left is able to get away with actually being racist.

Also, Mexican is not a race. How can one be "racist" against something that isn't a race?

Illegal immigration discriminates against millions of “minorities” in countries all over the world, who are waiting to enter this country legally and to become good citizens. I assume that includes anyone in Mexico who is not up to or willing to cross illegally.

Everything the left does is immoral. Also we need the skilled people of the world, like engineers, to compete.

Too many entitlements.

We don’t need more workers we need more people who are forced to find jobs, instead of waiting out their benefits through unemloyment insurance.

Ho many are sitting this one out, Will not take a job because it didn’t pay what their last one paid. Consider themselves over qualified. If someone wants to work there are jobs out there, the illegals are doing them. Some of them do not pay well , but they pay.

"United States Bureau of Labor Statistics this month says that we have 8.9% unemployment."

If you are tired of lies, you probably should not REPEAT them or cite them with out criticism or comment...

[K-Stater]

Republicans can do nothing to satisfy the left, so we should stop trying. We need to do what is right and let them whine.

What is right is to criminalize the hiring of an illegal alien regardless. No exemptions. No hypocrisy. If an individual cannot determine the legal status of their maid or cook or gardener then hire someone from an agency who can establish that.

Turn the Tables!

Promoting amnesty imposes SLAVE WAGES for LEGAL immigrants!

Legal immigrants are returning to Mexico because the ILLEGALS are undercutting their wages.

You have to admit we would be less concerned if we were being invaded by ambitious education-seeking entreprenuners and Canadian PhD’s in math and science

instead of low educated wealth-eaters running from failed socialist corruption and looking to celebrate it here in America while reviling America

[humblegunner]

What really irks me are all the illegals coming over here and
excerpting blog posts in order to scam hits from decent Americans.

They are truly scum.

[umgud]

We have two problems with the border issue. One is the massive influx of illegals coming for work and freebies. Even if we solved this problem, we’d still have the border security issue. Drug gangs, misc. criminals and potential terrorists would still be left to come and go as they please. They aren’t looking for amnesty.

[Bean Counter]

I wonder why guys like you post excerpts of their own work here at Free Republic?

Why not save the bandwidth and either post your whole article instead of an excerpt? You might have something to say, but the way you post your articles makes you a recurring blogpimp, and If I were you I’d find a new way to post articles here at FR.

We do NOT need illegal workers, we do NOT need the expense of illegals in this country. We do NOT need to import their Cartel War to our country. We MUST secure the border, end citizenship to children of illegals, deport those living here now ASAP.

It has nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with securing our country and saving jobs and money for our own citizens.
