Apparently Bush being pro-life, cutting taxes, defending Israel, and fighting the Islamofascists isn't good enough for some people.

It's not good enough for a lot of people...

Besides, those things you mentioned are part of the job...

We pay him 400,000 a year to do his job...

"Another liberal political ploy destroys to dreams of hardworking folks."

Apparently you missed the fact that this guy is a criminal.

Cry me a river! Wouldn't it be cheaper just to shoot them? Getting a flight back home is more than magnanimous.

Time to charge their home governments for the expense of transporting these people. And charge the Mexican government for every penny we spend on Mexican illegals, including the tens of thousands of the suckers we put in jail.

Do you honestly think that Mexico would send even one peso?

[stevio]

Awwww. Sniff sniff.

"Do you honestly think that Mexico would send even one peso?"

Nope.
But that hasn't stopped quite a few cities/counties from sending a bill to the Mexican embassy.
It's good to keep an account of how much it's costing us to do the job the Mexican goverment is supposed to be doing.

We all know that the border is a joke, and it will remain so as long as we have a Republican congress whose contributors need workers that they can pay less than US citizens and legal immigrants.

Just because a Democratic president would be worse than useless does not mean that Bush isn't useless on border issues.

Here's a question:

After an illegal alien sneaks in a couple of dozen times and is deported, will he or she be able to save up their Frequent Flyer miles to upgrade to First Class?

The handcuffs would be real leather, lined in fur.

Actually not all in this article are illegals...some have permanent resiidence visas, or asylum status...but if you committ a crime you can also be deported home, which may mean nothing more than the country in which you hold a passport. This is nothing new, and people have been harping about it for years. It is particularly hard for young adults who grow up in America, no longer speak their native language and break the law and are sent home. Alot of these people could have applied for citizenship, but failed to do so...which would have saved them from deportation.

What really gripes me is that many manufacturers have passed up more expensive (in the short term) automation, because of all this cheap labor.

We would all be much further ahead without one illegal!
