Illegal immigration is illegal. You don't have to hate Bush to realize that. I like Bush, but on this issue he's not only encouraging illegal immigration with his talk of amnesty, but he's proposing preferential treatment of Mexicans over the citizens of every other nation. None dare address what that is...
We simply cannot import two million uneducated people each year from every poor nation on the planet. Proposing to do it for one, and not the others is biased and preferential.
It is simply indefensible on a number of levels.
"The 19 murderers on Sept. 11 got 63 separate legally issued driver's licenses from five states. They used those to open bank accounts and to get on the plane."
Lest they forget!! UNDISPUTED FACT!!!! Others can enter illegally across the border. Security of America and Americans are at risk not to mention the illegals already here that taxpayers are subsidizing.
Few of you draw your own assumptions and to accuse us of bush-bashing or hating Bush because we are AMERICAN enough to want to have a secure nation is sick to say the least and it is people like you who are haters. Actually you people hate America.
Our school system is broke (Fresno Unified) the city is infested with crime, and illegal immigrants have clogged our hospitals, and receive SSI and Food Stamps....and you want to play the "don't yell at the President" game...?? When this scenario arrives in your town (AND IT WILL) you will then rue the day....
JOAC!!!
I'd rather bash a politician then be a mindless stooge. How can you even look in a mirror being such a pathetic sap?
I suggest you buy a clue...reporting illegals is not the problem, its having enough LE resources to do something about it. We need a huge detention center in the middle of nowhere to hold all those arrested otherwise its a voluntary return to Mexico and back across to the US the next night. Enforce sanctions..LOL..by who? We can't even go after the known criminal aliens with the current resources its a JOKE.
If El Presidente Bush just said that's it, illegals are no longer welcome here, things would come to a slow halt, but he needs to fund all the enforcement he "talks" about. The buck stops at the top.
No moron, I don't hate GWBush, I voted for him same as 90% other Freepers who have no use for his amnesty. You are deceitful in your characterization
Obsession is a very ugly thing. It makes you post embarrassing vanities.
Now, you've done it....: )
When I sign on, I don't get "bombarded" with threads; I choose the ones I want to visit. I assume you are free to do the same.
I am deleting my FR account immediately!
Good one.
OK, you asked for it. I have (while living in south Texas), repeatedly reported illegal immigrants. I was given lame excuses in each case. Finally after watching a news story about the BP turning loose 8 illegals it had chased through Fallfurias, TX (near where our President goes hunting btw), I decided to look further for help. I searched through the BCIS site until I found a number for an office in Vermont which takes complaints about BP inaction, etc. I phoned them, I phoned Houston, I phoned San Antonio. I filed a formal complaint against the regional offices.
I DO NOT use illegal immigration to "bash" President Bush. It is just a sore subject for me. I'm not even against LEGAL immigration, as my husband is a LEGAL immigrant.
A huge majority of the people in S. TX that hire illegal Mexican and S. American immigrants are themselves Hispanic. In Laredo for example only 4% of the population is "anglo" fewer than 1% of non-corporate businesses are owned by "anglos". They are only hurting us and themselves. And maybe it has escaped your attention that "white" Mexicans treat "brown" Mexicans like dirt. They subject them not only to harsh working conditions, but also degradation, sexual and physical abuse and often cruelty. Racism is NOT just a white persons game. I have lived and worked in Mexico with it's "underclasses", who are ignored by the "White Spanish" Mexicans. I know who's coming to dinner, and I don't mind setting a place for them as long as the bring a stone for the soup, and wash up before they go home.
The second thing that I would like to point out to you is that your lexis and sytax show that you speak English at a high beginner or intermediate level with Spanish as a first language. You wouldn't be harping on this issue for some hidden reason would you? Did La Raza or LULAC put you up to this? Are you an illegal resident of the USA?
Man... I can feel the boot already
IF you, by chance, have the testicular fortitude to admit here, in this forum, that YOU hire illegals - try me and see how fast I can report your @SS.
If I knew the person to definitely be illegal, I would have no qualms (and in fact HAVE) reported someone in the past.
Unfortunately, people don't go around with stickers pasted on their foreheads proclaiming themselves to be legal or illegal.
My beef with illegals is not so much the security/terrorist issue, it is the fact that society is unable to absorb the huge influx. Thus we have pockets of people, many criminal types, who are resisting any assimilation into American society.
For those who think illegals are good for our society, I invite them to take a drive through just about any mid-sized city where there are blocks and blocks of families stuffed into homes, no english, much drugs, knife fights daily, with crime running rampant.
Of course there are good and bad in every ethnicity, but the large influx of central american illegals seems to be packed to the gills with gang members, drug dealers, and others looking to prey on the good nature of Americans.

That's all the time I'm going to waste on you today. Hope you enjoyed it.
Why do you support illegal immigration ?
I reported some illegals, not to the INS, but to the police. They broke into my home. Do you have any idea how it feels for a woman to walk into her home, alone, and find two man with a loaded gun? Because of the Hispanic gangs, I can't feel safe in the town where I was born and lived for 49 years. The town where my parents and grandparents are buried.
This is not a game to me. If you want illegal immigration don't read threads that are critical and don't make fun of those of us who don't.
