Every last illegal has started their life in America by breaking the law. Breaking one law makes it easy to break the next and so on.

To compound the problem, they’re being given the impression that they have more rights than citizens by our own government and groups like La Raza re enforce that attitude.

Oh, your plan has to be able to get enough support in Congress (61 votes in the Senate) to become law

The first rule to treating a problem is, as is stated in the Hipocratic Oath, DO NO HARM. This pathetic trash of a bill would do great harm so it cannot be part of any solution.

Points well made, but I’d change ‘boarders’ to ‘borders.’

I am a descendent of a Polish immigrant in the late 1800s. He served in the United States Navy, my father served in the United States Army and I served for twenty-five years in the United States Air Force. Nor only do I oppose amnesty as a military veteran but I oppose it as a descendent of someone who did immigrate legally—before Social Security and other freebies our Congress has decided to give illegals. I think it is time to clean house in our Congress and reelect a new crew who are willing to follow, fund and enforce our immigration laws.

excellent piece. Printed it and stuffed it into the envelope just sent to me from the republican national commitee for contributions.

The envelope is postpaid,.

Those of you who get similar letters of money begging, please print this and send it to them (or similar points of view.)

A good many illegals have learned that you can commit all kinds of crimes in sanctuary cities and get a free “get out of jail to go do it again” pass....

This is a very telling report done by Zogby a couple years ago.

[snip]

Americans and Mexicans have widely divergent views of border issues, according to a new poll by Zogby International.

Zogby found that a large majority of the Mexican population believes the southwest territory of the U.S. rightfully belongs to Mexico, and that Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without first obtaining U.S. permission. By contrast, Zogby’s survey of Americans conducted within a few days of the Mexican poll shows a large majority supports reducing immigration levels and wants the military deployed along the border to protect the U.S. from illegal immigration.

Zogby’s poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans agree with the statement, “the territory of the United States’ Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico.” Only 28 percent disagree, and 14 percent are unsure.

A similar majority, 57 percent, agree with the statement, “Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without U.S. permission,” while 35 percent disagree. Seven percent are unsure.

The survey has a margin of error of 3.5 percent. The Mexico portion of the survey was conducted in Spanish between May 25 and May 26 among 801 adults chosen at random throughout Mexico. The poll was commissioned by Americans for Immigration Control, Inc. (AIC), which advocates increased restrictions on immigration.

Zogby’s survey of American attitudes found wide majorities of Americans also oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. The U.S. portion of the survey was conducted of 1,015 likely voters in the U.S. from May 28 to May 30. It found that 65 percent disagree with the statement, “foreigners residing illegally in the U.S. should be given amnesty.” Just 26 percent of likely voters support amnesty for illegals, while 9 percent are unsure.

A large majority, 58 percent, agree that the U.S. should “admit fewer immigrants each year.” Only 6 percent want “more immigrants each year,” and 30 percent want to “keep immigration at the current annual levels.”

The single largest majority in the entire poll was found among Americans supporting use of the military to guard the border. Fully 68 percent of those surveyed agree with the statement, “the U.S. should deploy military troops on the border as a temporary measure to help the U.S. Border Patrol curb illegal immigration.” Only 28 percent disagree, and 3 percent are unsure.

Blood and treasure have been profligately expended to defend our country—yet we now speak of ending wars rather than winning them.

So much to the shame and insult to our hallowed dead and the maimed, crippled survivors of these conflicts.

You keep on writing and posting the truth. The truth is an implacable thing—it doesn’t go away so long as men and women of honor continue to proclaim it.

God bless and keep you. May God once more give us leaders that understand that only victory ends war. Or defeat. You cannot end a war without one or the other.

“So how are you going to solve the illegal problem? You seem to know what not to do so you must be an expert. Oh, your plan has to be able to get enough support in Congress (61 votes in the Senate) to become law. The Nation awaits your guidance.”

Your sarcasm is duly noted, but if you want to get rid of Illegals the process isn’t that hard. You just follow current law.

Add to that, dry up all the anchor baby laws, dry up free health care, dry up food stamps, dry up welfare.

Fine the piss out of those business owners who hire ILLEGAL aliens.

It’s not difficult, it just takes backbone and that’s something our “Leaders” in the District of Criminals do not possess.

That easy, we all know amnesty shouldn`t happen, but the other side insists that the problem of those that are here is dealt with or no deal. What do you recommend?

Oh I don’t know about that... Put the Marines on the Border, they are used to hearing the command

“PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS!”

Incarcerate the managers who knowingly hire illegals. Fines do nothing but make things more expensive for the consumer.

I am not making this up, those who report illegals crossing the border have been labeled as racist or trouble makers. some people who report illegals have even been threatened with physical violence.
