…

Not.

There is nothing new about all of this. We simply have to all start acting on a local level. For example, when getting bids for work on your house, demand that contractors follow federal law and check citizenship status. Follow Numbers USA (website) and learn what other states are doing. Send faxes and letters to our “representatives.”

If Mexican representatives are crying about their natives returning home and the drop in remitances, then it seems that the pressure put on states and local governments to deal with the illegals is working. We need to keep it up.

We need to demand accountability of our elected officials.

Keep up the pressure. We can afford to take care of our own. Mexico needs to take care of their own.

Just reality.

I lived in NC for a very long time. I
NEVER once saw a hispanic speaking person…never. Granted I moved back to
Florida in the late 80’s BUT if these
people are legal why don’t they speak
English even when stealing a car AND if they are legal or have been born here, they should be speaking English. And if they were born here…how did they get to be SO MANY in so few years?
I worked at a CLINIC…one of those that passes out freebies to women and children…..NEVER saw or heard a hispanic speaking person…NEVER.
Actually, never saw or heard one here in Florida until the last 10 years…so
CHAP….how did they make all these people legal in so few years or did they take growth hormones in order to grow up so fast? And let’s see, last figure I read said that 70 per cent of the “growth” in this country was due to immigration…does not specify legality…but being as the immigration depts are backed up into the year 3000….I am not sure how SO many in this country became legal SO FAST.

So Chap, methinks, your name is French,
but you sound like a card carrying member LaRaza.

Right now, there are people with Bachelor degrees, Masters and even PhD’s who are waiting in line to get into this country from places like India, Africa and Western Europe. We need these people to fill high-tech and highly productive positions that would benefit not just the U.S., but anyone else that we happen to help out.

And you honestly think it’s a tragedy that we insist tomato pickers follow the law, too?

They hire people at a wage that forces them to live 5 to 10 families to a house. They do not provide welfare plans such as medical because illegals are willing to work without it. The costs of those services, however, are passed on to the local community in the form of higher taxes or higher fees for medical services.

And because the wagesd are so low, they qualify for state and federal welfare plans and assistance.

These employers are passing their employee costs onto the general public, and that is a crime.

The ironic thing is what is going to happen when their “shadow” employees are suddenly American citizens. Employers will then be forced to pay a living wage for the work being done, will be forced to carry insurance that they don’t carry now, and will be forced to deal with the issues that until then have been hidden by virtue of the reluctance of illegals to report problems.

And I get tired of hearing how Reagan granted amnesty, so why not do it now. The estimate of the illegal population in Reagan’s time was less than 1% of the US population (actual numbers turned out to be double the estimate). A comprimise was struck, with the understanding that amnesty would only be granted in conjunction with strict enforcement in the future.

The issue we are facing today amounts to closer to 10% of the US population. A huge impact on all aspects of our country, and an event never contemplated by any immigration policy going back to the 1700’s. Such an addition to the populace that does not want to assimilate, that is proven to have no respect for the rule of law, and that thinks the US should be subordinate to their home country (Like the “Mexico first” crowd) is a formula to turn the US into a multicultural mess and the Constitution into a historic relic.

And to be certain, any promise of amnesty in exchange for strict enforcement will be likely have the same reliability as those past promises – there will be no enforcement.

Mexico and other countries need to sort out their own problems without exporting them here. While it certainly improves the quality of life in Mexico, the economic and human toll it is taking here has reached tragic proportions.

Need all the other states to get pressured by the population to get the intestinal fortitude to pass laws like AZ and OK and a few others that makes it no longer acceptable practice to hire the illegals … no jobs everywhere means they leave the country … not just go to another state …

I understand your point. I want to get the illegal aliens out of America too. How do we do that when POTUS is against us? Give him an idea?

For example, our tax money goes to the UN. Take that money and use it to get illegal aliens from Arkansas to become part of a UN police force. This is just an example.

If we say get out, they do not go anywhere. If we change our laws we see a lot of them leaving, but is that all of them? No, they go to another state that has a Gov. named Rick the prick Perry.

We need solutions that are fair, and right. I would like to see America take control of some of Mexico’s oil wells to pay for illegal alien jail costs, and deportations. Will that happen?

Put me in charge, and watch the UN, and Mexico eat my shorts while I fix the problem. Of course Chertoff is doing a great job.
