You would think that our elected representatives would listen to the people (meaning the citizens, not the law-breaking illegals),...

Yes. A normal American would think that the vacillating simpletons we keep sending to Washington wouold listen to us.

Some are, no doubt, working overtime to figure a way to circumvent the election process in order that they not have to subject themselves to the torture every 2 or 6 years.

I would like to see the election of senators be returned to their respective state legislatures where there is a chance that their careers would be much shorter lived.

I have a feeling that in CA, AZ, TX, FL et al, there are already a *lot* of them voting, and voting often.

I dont buy this baloney from the pro-illegal immigrant crowd, who claim it would be too difficult to deport 12-20 million aliens.

After all, most of these illegals had the drive and the creative where-with-all to pick up their lives and trek the desert into America, often under adverse conditions.

They should certainly have the same creative where-with-all to move back to their home country.

In fact it should be easier due to their years of working and making $$ in the US.

To: FerdieMurphy; All
Guest-Voters have been a problem for California elections(and a bonus for Democrats) for many years now !

They helped to get Boxer and Feinstein elected to the Senate !

Governor Jerry Brown got rid of a law back in the last years of his governorship of California, that would have stricken these illegal alien voters off the ballots !

This is the direct planned result of the immigration policies first initiated by Ted Kennedy in 1965 !

The Liberal Democrats have not been reinventing themselves, they have been reinventing the American Electorate - - that is how these Libs and Dems have engineered their 'Dissolving Away of the White Majority'

In the future, as went California, so will go the rest of the U.S. - - -

The Left-wing Democrats will eventually take over the entire UNION .
As these Third Worlders become the New Majority in OUR COUNTRY, it won't be our land anymore !

Our Nation will be Their Land - Our Future will be Their Time ! ! !

First of all they are NOT "guests" which would imply taht they are invited and or welcomed, which neither is true.

They are illegal alien lawbreakers who know that our laws don't apply to them!

Deport all of them!!

I have a problem with the solution proposed by the author.

Rarely does an election have a VIABLE 3rd party candidate on the ballot. Ross Perot or Ralph Nader? NOT!

Regarding the immigration issue, I think we should tell ALL our Congressmen & Senators that if the borders are not secured & the illegals sent home, we, the voters, will not vote for ANY of them, regardless of their "stance" on the issue.

Put them ALL in a leaky boat, & tell them to ALL bail or drown together.

As for the long term problem of having to vote for a bad candidate vs voting for a really bad candidate, here's my solution.

On the election ballot, for every contested office listed, the option to select "None of the above" will be included. If NOTA wins the election, the incumbent is out & the office is vacant until it is filled in another election, in which the previous candidates are NOT allowed to run.

NOTA will flush out lifetime pols who feed at the gov't trough, & give Americans a real choice at the ballot box, while ending the political polarization in our country. I suspect the number of voters will increase dramatically, as will the numbers of office holders who "say what they mean, & mean what they say".

Imagine if there had been a better choice in Ford/Carter or Clinton/Dole - None of the above!

Now, imagine the current crop of '08 contenders, then add NOTA, & take a poll. My guess is that NOTA would have big numbers, & might embarrass some into going home where they belong.

Comments please!

This is why I want enforcement first - years before amnesty if there's gonna be amnesty and I don't even want that.

And now, with the help of msm lackeys, they are trying to take the heat off the illegal situation by focusing our attention on gas prices.

That ain't working here - unlike congress, I can handle two issues at once. Although with their track record, I would rather NO action on these two issues than something they will come up with.

We saw them wave their Mexican flags on American soil

We saw them wearing Che Guevara t shirts

We saw their gang bangers MS-13 and MS-18 intimidate and threaten those who stood against them

They left school they left their jobs to protest

They are extremely well organized and loyal to their own race first and foremost and not the USA (La Raza)

When they become the majority...and they surely will...they will not vote Republican ever and they will be the strongest UNION WORKERS the USA has ever seen

And when they decide on nation wide work stoppages or violent protests to get what they want...the full force of government will have to fall on them...

They will have transformed the USA into a CA and South American ghetto...

Which is exactly what our New World Order Patrone elites desire above all else..
