After being inundated with calls from L.A. listeners, Asa Hutchinson has agreed to go on the show. He's on right now, so be there or be square. Will try to type the good stuff while I listen.
I am a little busy and I want to give a thoughtful reply.
You don't have to get snippy about it.
Florida:
It was big news in South Florida when Reynaldo Elias Rapalo was arrested in Little Miami on Sept. 19. After all, the community was anxious to capture the serial rapist who had been eluding law enforcement for a year. Rapalo's victims range in age from an 11-year-old girl to a woman of 79. All of the man's seven victims were home alone when he struck. Rapalo is an illegal alien from Honduras.
Blame it on California and Boxer.
LOL!
I'm not THAT old! I was not traveling in Vichy France. :) I know bringing up the French as a positive example about anything is subject to ridicule on this forum. But heck, the French also a great and economically effective and well run nuclear power program. Deal with it.
All France is Vichy France.
Let's face it, if the French didn't have nuclear power, they'd pass endless UN resolutions decrying nuclear power.
You'll have to tell me from which basement you're posting.
520-378-4802. Have fun -- it doesn't accept blocked calls.
Over the years, other FReepers have compiled lists of all of our suggestions for stopping illegal immigration.
Part of the answer is securring our land borders, which could be done for about $10 billion dollars per year.
That would be about $30 to $93 billion dollars less than illegal immigration costs the U.S. Taxpayers every year, depending on whether you ask Dr. Hubble, the C.I.S., or FAIR.
It would also drop a big hammer on the cartels that are smuggling tons of illegal dope over our land borders, so it would save the DEA some billions.
Over 90% of the estimated 3 million illegal crossings, yearly into the USA, are along our land borders.
Secure the land borders and illegal immigration is all but stopped.
Poohbah will try to spin some Ian Flemming/Clive Cussler tale about a new, massive, Mexican armada of giant, super freighters deploying thousands of Zodiac rubber boats that will sneak the 3 million illegals onto our shores.
That won't happen.
With all of the days of the year it's not even safe to be out on the open ocean in a Coast Guard cutter? ;^)
Give me a break.
The answer is to secure our land borders against illegal aliens while we simultaneously:
-go after their employers,
-kick the illegals off all of our social programs,
-make it clear that we will follow the 14th Amendment and that means there's no such thing as an 'anchor baby', never was, never will be,
-give all illegal aliens 90 days to go back home and take their money and stuff with them, after that, everything they're caught with becomes the property of the U.S. Taxpayers,
-anyone caught from the 91st day on goes home with the shirt on their backs, that's it.
Don't get trapped into a one dimensional argument about how to end illegal immigration with the surrender monkies.
You'll see the same guys, that claim there's no economically feasible way to stop illegal immigration, get their arguments all shot to hell day after day, year after year here on FR.
They keep coming back looking for someone new that doesn't know their game.
Any one of these guys could have played Bill Murray's part in 'Ground Hog Day'!
LOL!
Genaro Espinosa Dorantes is something of a criminal celeb: he is one of the few who make it to the FBI's Most Wanted list, where his mugshot and description first appeared in August 2003. He is accused of burning, torturing and murdering his four-year-old stepson. A Nashville jogger found the child's body where it had been dumped in a local park.
Dorantes may be traveling with his girlfriend and the murdered boy's mother, Martha Cano Patlan, who is also sought by authorities in connection with the gruesome killing. Police believe that they may have escaped to Mexico using a network of illegal aliens because Dorantes has worked as a smuggler. A native of Hidalgo, Mexico, Dorantes is considered armed and dangerous; there is a reward of $50,000 offered for information leading to his capture.
Blame it on Boxer and California.
Actually, the two have agressively hammered and directly called all of CA's federal representatives asking for interviews to discuss recent lack of focus on one key area of problems with immigration: the refusal of Mexico to turn over murderers wanted here in CA.
It is true they only infrequently mention Boxer and Feinstein. It is also true that they are not a partisan pair. They are pushing issues that matter to Southern Californians AND draw listeners so they can sell advertising.
Frankly, the radio show was a helpful part in the ouster of former Governor Davis.
Interior enforcement except in selected situations without going after illegal employment, and the active prosecution of employers, strikes me as a very bad policy doomed to fail, politically and practically. The incentives will still be there, but the clandestine will increase, and the disruptions will increase, and the bitterness will increase, and the abuse of children will increase (including the neglecting of their education, which cannot and should not stand). It is sort of like a heavy chemo program with not much efficacy in the end. John and Ken should have me on. I will tell them. Just making life more miserable for illegals who can still work, and whose employers have incentives to hire them, is at once cruel and unusual, and only works at incentives at the margins for so many of these relative desperate people.

Shmuck You .... You don't live here.... ASA deserved everything he got...
Don't preach to us.....
Lol! Which expains your expertise on illegal immigration. Tell us once again how you "know" what Ken & John say about Feinstein and Boxer. From your bunker in Pittsburgh you must get to listen to their show every afternoon.
I like the way you think!!
I listen to John and Ken a lot, although not this program. And I know they don't know much except how to emote, rather than how to surgically get at the root cause. Harrassing on the streets those here who are de facto allowed to work, and causing them to go underground, and withdraw from the city lights, and withdraw their kids from living a normal life, sort of, is cruel and unusual. I want no part of it, and will oppose it.
