Illegals think we Americans are dumb, that they can operate right under our noses and not know they're stealing our tax dollars AND our country out from under us. Illegals also think we are scared of them.
THIS JUST IN Here's one way to proceed against illegals.
In 1996, Congress expanded the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to include violations of federal immigration law.
1 While this expansion may not have received much publicity, it could potentially change the face of U.S. immigration law enforcement. Under the new RICO provisions, a violation of certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) meets the definition of racketeering activity, also known as a "predicate offense,"
2 and an entity that engages in a pattern of racketeering activity for financial gain can be held both criminally and civilly liable.
3 Among other things, the INA makes it unlawful to encourage illegal immigration or employ illegal aliens,
4 which violations were included as predicate offenses under RICO.
The 1996 law changes in the INA made hiring illegal aliens a predicate act of racketeering activity under RICO, but illegal hiring wasn’t the only violation of the INA made a predicate act. Other INA prohibitions made RICO predicate acts were encouraging or inducing illegal immigration, smuggling, and harboring illegal aliens.10 Together, these additions make the RICO Act potentially a very strong new tool in the hands of private parties against persons and companies that profit by violating U.S. immigration law.
Additionally, the RICO provision regarding the unlawful encouragement of illegal immigration could justify a suit against a private entity, such as a bank, that accepts foreign-issued identification cards that are only needed by illegal aliens. One example of this, of course, is the matricula consular issued by the Mexican consulates in the United States. Since both the supporters of the matricula and those who oppose its acceptance agree that only illegal aliens have need to rely on the card, acceptance of the card knowingly encourages illegal immigration. Part of the legislative intent of the RICO laws in general was to afford private citizens a remedy for lawbreaking when authorities normally charged with such enforcement became derelict in their duties.
For example, in a town in which political corruption and racketeering activity have combined to the detriment of law-abiding citizens and the rule of law, the RICO Act was intended to provide private citizens the ability to initiate court action to compel enforcement and respect for the law.
Some of them are ready and willing to run, and some have very familiar names. .... One of the latter happens to be named Bush.
No. Friggen. Way!
Not now. Not next year. Not ever. NO MORE BUSHES - period. end. stop.
Jeb can take his Mexican wife, and merry band of Mexican relatives and move to the Yucatan, or to Timbuktu for all I care. Just -- STAY AWAY! -- from all national elections and the republican party.
We have enough Open Border, Amnesty loving, Dream Act RINOs now, we don't need any more. Especially Jeb BUSH.
No Bush, No Romney, they are ~NOT~ suitable replacements for Congressman Pence, and I don’t know a lot of Pence supporters other than beltway-establishmet types that would go fishing for them!
I hate journalists (especially those that push the establishment).
J.S.
Which taxes did he raise?
"He championed tax cuts that chiefly benefited business and the wealthy, trimmed the state's payroll, stripped job protection from thousands of mid-level civil servants, gained more power over the judiciary, exploited his Washington connections to prevent the closing of military bases and launched the nation's first statewide private-school voucher program."

"Bush gave Floridians what he told us we wanted: smaller government and tax cuts."

"You see, after eight years of Jeb Bush and more than $20 billion in tax cuts"

I agree. Enough of the Bushes. The country would freak out. We don’t have royal families in this Nation for a reason.
You don’t have to worry, Jeb Bush is not interested
I would love to see another Eisenhower myself.
No, please no more from the Bush family. Jeb is as worthless and terrible on immigration as his brother. In large part because of family dynamics, they think unending mass immigration from Mexico is a great thing, and they clearly don’t like it when the rubes who are actually inclined to vote for them (unlike most Hispanics) voice opposition to them on the issue.
But unfortunately with Jeb Bush, part of that 20% includes his leftwing views on immigration, and it is the demographic results of unending mass immigration that will destroy the GOP in the long run.
Wait a minute! Who said he was for the “New World Order Act”; what on earth is that? Also, who in the crap said he was for re-writing the “Constitution”; what on earth are you talking about? Oh, and while your at it, how about some evidence, huh?
Jeb Bush is not running for President, he has no interest. Get over your BDS. There will never be a better president then President Bush has been
No, Prescott Bush was a big Eisenhower booster. Eisenhower was rarely conservative on much of anything. Part of the Eisenhower legacy was the grandchildren flocking to Obama.
That's what I'm afraid of! Republican primary voters falling for the Myth candidacy again
I agree, but the American people turned against Terri as she was being murdered, heartless souls the people are!
Jeb is probably a backer of Bill Nelson to show how “broad-minded” he is. Like Laura Bush talking up Obama in 2008
Also, political dynasties have their limits. It's possible for one family to hold local offices down through the years, but in the big time a family gets on average one and a half bounces: one politician makes it big, and a brother or son or grandchild makes it almost as far, and then the vitality or ability is depleted and the descendants don't get anywhere near as far.
The great exception which proved the rule was the Roosevelts: two branches of the family each got their big bounce and a little one for each of the sons who went into politics. The other was the Kennedys, but they've had their day by now as well.
He sure was. And you're right about Eisenhower not being a conservative. He was an across-the-aisle consensus builder. It's just that in those days, many Democrats were more rationally patriotic than they are today and not so fiscally insane. However, Prescott Bush is also probably one historical reason Connecticut may never have a Republican Senator again.
In the 30's and 40's, old-fashioned WASP bigot Granpa Prescott Bush was forthrightly and often vocally anti-Semitic. But that paled in comparison to the way he felt about Catholics. He was VERY anti-Catholic, especially when it came to the Italian variety, with the Irish type close behind. Throw in the odd Pole, Hungarian, and French Canadian,(and Granpa Bush did find all non-Congregationalists and non- Episcopalians quite odd)... and he easily alienated what was about 3/4 of the state's white population in those days. Of course, with modern get-along type people that memory soon dimmed, but state senatorial voting habits are hard to break.
Now that the state is more "diverse," especially with many more Latinos and a very healthy black population, it's going to be even harder to kick it into the "R" column.
No matter how much one hates the Bush's, one should stick with the truth.
