This is the sort of "lip service" we don't need.
We edge ever closer to Civil War II.
The issues are complex? What is so complex about them? Get out there and close the border, keep ILLEGALS out of the country. Sounds simple to me, but of course I am not some politican who owes certain lobbies favors for donations received during the election am I?
It shall remain lip service. Too much dinero changing hands with the failed WOD to divert funds and energy to the WOT. Cannot make near as much $$$ from WOT.
I live here. The corruption is NOT only on the Mexican side. True enough, the drug runners and smugglers want to avoid compromising a "good" trade route to AQ, but in the end whoever comes up with the most cash and influence will own the route. The drugs and prostitution are simply an added cashflow.
Mexican-American WarII more likely. It is disingenous to believe that this is about interstate commerce or states rights. It is about soveriegnty.
Yeah, old Janet right on the ball there. It only takes 65,000 to get Richardson to do something, but Janet doesn't budge until the number exceeds ONE MILLION!!!
I believe you
Many people are fed up! I have friends in CA and AZ who are dealing with explosion in illegals and they feel helpless. But still are trying everything they can to do something about it. My friend in CA wishes she could join the Minutemen, but can't right now. Yep, needless to say, Americans have had enough....and politicans need to start listening!! There is a HUGE problem with illegal immigration!
no...that's 450,000 "illegal landings" a year.
Maybe we are fed up, but mexicans have to be elated that all they have to do is trespass on our land, lie about any gringo that approaches them and thn be awarded land that they trespassed on. I'll bet there will be a slew of these suits going on soon.
How about this?
Kick their A***s out!..
Step 1.. close the border..
Step 2.. Remove all Illegals..
Step 3.. Have a "dialogue" about immigration..
I don't want to hear any "discussion" of #3, about illegals or immigration until #1 and #2 are dealt with..
Then and Only Then can we determine what the Legal Immigration rates should be..
The thirty foot wall works pretty well for Issrael.
Law enforcement is a complex process. /sarcasm
So many people are fed up with the status quo, and the failed Republican Party led by the President and egged on by RINOs over this Illegal Alien/Porous Borders/Day Laborer/Stretch Social Services/Bilingualism every where you look-thing, they they are going to turn out in droves in the primaries and send a clear message--despite all the media telling them they would be racists to go into the voting booth to do that.
It will be to late. There will be no guilt. We'll all just say 'screw you' this time. We are voting for a solution, once and for all.

Is there an echo in here?
Shouldn't be much more expensive than building an Interstate from the Texas coast to California..
It would provide jobs, and I would bet dollars to donuts that thousands of Mexican American Citizens would be more than willing to help build it..
Just to be absolutely clear to all....
I have Latino blood in the family..
Both neices and nephews..
They don't have any "love" for illegals either..
Don't forget, there is an election cycle coming up in 2006 as well..
I'm not sure how many Southwestern congress critters are running in '06, but any that are should have their voting records gone over with a fine tooth comb..
If they have shown ANY favoritism for Illegals they should be voted out..
With a loud vengeance...
Send the message..
At heart, though, they revolve around two basic questions: How to improve enforcement of the porous Southwest border and what to do with an illegal immigrant population that tops 11 million and swells by 450,000 a year.
My sweet patootie! The Border Patrol announced over 1 million apprehensions in FY'04 and they estimate at least that many if not double made it past them. 450,000 is no more than a third of the real number; it could easily be one-sixth.
I stand corrected, you're numbers are probably closer to the truth. The sad fact of the matter however is that we have no real idea how many have come across, due to our OPEN BORDERS!
