I can't understand why it is an issue for some politicians... How can they be against the enforcement of US law ? Am I dramatically mistaken in thinking border control is what sovereignty is all about ?

I've never had the opportunity to go to the United States, but I think the rules are roughly the same in any democracy : if you come legally and respect your hosts' lawn then no problem. If you come illegally, you simply have no right to stay, barring truly extraordinary circumstances...

I've had a couple of Californian friends visiting Sydney over the Christmas break. They're hardcore liberals, but they voted for Schwarzenegger. The wife, because he's too rich to be beholden to special interests. The husband, because he's against issuing driver's licenses to illegals. I just wonder why the President prefers Gray Davis' stance on this, to Arnie's?

No history, no study, no debate
Debra Saunders

The Associated Press and various newspapers reported this month that the University of California at Los Angeles' Chicano Studies Research Center released a "study" that recommended allowing California's 4.6 million non-citizens to vote in local elections.


But there was no study. There was no new research or in-depth information. There was a Latino Policy and Issue Brief written by UCLA law professor Joaquin C. Avila. The brief cited census data which found that non-citizen adults comprise large portions of California municipalities -- such as 32 percent of Los Angeles -- and then concluded that "a substantial number of persons, who contribute to our economy and our government's revenues, are being denied political representation" -- which he dubbed "political apartheid."................<snip

A DHS spokesperson [Brian Roehrkasse] told Frontpagemag.com that Ridge did not mention any "amnesty" program. "The Secretary said that we've got to come to grips with reality that there are 8-13 million people and that they will have to have some sort of legal status as we go through the accounting of determining who may pose a potential threat to us.

They do not "have to have some sort of legal status". Deporting them eliminates any need to find out whether or not they "pose a potential threat to us".

DHS already knows that illegal aliens are willing to break the law. What they can't ever determine is how just how many more laws the illegals are willing to break. Give 'em the boot!

Wake Up

I’d like to take a moment,
I need to bend your ear.
We need to fix a broken thing,
The time to do so’s here.
America the melting pot,
It’s how we got this far.
But many want to change that now,
By lowering the bar.
No need to learn our history,
Or learn what we’re about.
Just speak your native language,
Complain we leave you out.
You have no right to be here now,
Feeding off this nation.
We need to stop the influx of,
Illegal immigration.

the confederation of nations begins...by diluting the culture there will be less and less interest on the part of citizens to preserve the old ways of the founders...

Those who try are contra revolutionarys

Bush Administration is considering adding Mexico to the list of 20 other countries currently participating in “totalization” agreements that allow workers who return to their nation of origin to collect Social Security payments

You would think their intent is to bankrupt us.. Call the White House and let them know that ANY kind of amnesty is unacceptable NO MATTER HOW THEY PACKAGE IT!

Write in Tancredo in the March primary!

PUT THE BLANKET ON AMNESTY~

Tell them that you intend on writing in Tancredo in the primary and if like me, you intend on writing in Tancredo in the general election.. that will get their attention!

[sergeantdave]

Illegals ignore law. Republicans ignore law. Democrats ignore law. Courts ignore law. Bureaucrats ignore law. Yet Americans are expected to obey law.

The rule of law is ending. The rule of man is beginning. We are about to enter the age of chaos and unintended consequences.

[wingster]

Buy your land now! Anyone seeing this housing market as a bubble isn't reading the tea leaves. We're going the way of Europe by allowing illegals free access. We're gonna pay for it and sooner vice later. My guess would be that given all the support illegals are getting, we can expect an upsurge in them coming. I can easily see the population expanding increasingly as a result.

The demand for entry level and mid-level housing goes up, there's no way prices are gonna go down.

All this nonsense about low-wage grade jobs is just that, nonsense. At some point when the economy tanks again we're gonna have more people than ever on welfare of sorts and it'll be the straw that changes this nation forever. Again, sooner rather than later. Besides, w/ more and more of the "low wage grade" work being outsourced outside the country, what kind of idiot seems to think that the number of those jobs is going to increase.

I drive into the local 7-11s here and there are a million hispanics running over to my truck b/c they think I'm looking for workers. If there's so much demand for jobs, how come they aren't working??

I suppose there's not much we can do about it however w/ "conservatives" leading the charge.

Things in this country are going to be drastically different in the year 2015. Drastically!

Illegal aliens are criminals. Period. The function of our government is to enforce our laws, not brake them.

There is not one single good reason to cater to these often dangerous criminals, none to provide them with amnesty.

We already have too many people, too many legal immigrants, too many criminals. We do not need the surplus population and criminals elements from other countries. If other countries decide to overbreed -- tough.

Anyone who propose amnesty or special perks for illegal aliens is a potential danger to this country.

If repubs want the illegal (hispanic) voting bloc - they can forget my vote.

[Hat-Trick]

If President George W. Bush applies the force of the bully pulpit behind an ill-conceived amnesty program, the resulting security breach may cost Bush the election -- and the American people their security. That's a price they will not willingly pay in a post-9/11 world. In proposing any form of amnesty, President Bush is playing with fire.

I don't see the balls or the bandwidth to get this done in the next 11 months. This will be 2nd term, lame duck legislation - every bit as harmful, and completed with little personal political consequence for GWB.

the arizona "republic" is owned by gannett = usa today and they recently editorialized for immigration. surprise, surprise.

the mexican national is the guy who slams the circle-k door in your face. just in case you were wondering how to i.d. illegals.

[hosepipe]

[ During a press conference in mid-December, President Bush told reporters that "this administration is firmly against blanket amnesty" for the 13 million "undocumented" aliens in question. However, he believes there is room for a guest worker program. “I have constantly said that we need to have a immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with any willing employee,” the President stated. "We're in the process of working that through now so I can make a recommendation to the Congress." ]

Must be talkin about some other form of amnesty... maybe serape amnesty... or sweatshirt amnesty... surely not blanket amnesty... whoever wrote this should be bitch slapped with a burrito...
