With the U.S. government poised to make sweeping changes to immigration laws critics say amount to de facto mass amnesty, WorldNetDaily's publishing division, WND Books, announces a powerful new book destined to supercharge the debate over illegal immigration.

In "Illegals: The Imminent Threat Posed by Our Unsecured U.S.-Mexico Border," veteran journalist Jon E. Dougherty documents the hard truth that both major political parties have missed – namely, that sustained high immigration levels from south of the border will continue to pose economic, labor, security and criminal threats to the United States, unless American and Mexican leaders find ways to limit it.

Taking readers right to the front lines of the "border wars," "Illegals" includes interviews with citizens living along the most traveled border corridors in the American Southwest, as well as Border Patrol agents and other immigration officials who are charged with guarding and protecting America's nearly 2,000-mile-long border with Mexico.

Dougherty also brings readers along on actual "missions" involving local citizens' groups who are trying desperately to stem the tide of the illegal incursions. And he takes readers into the lives of men and women who have been victimized by hordes of illegal immigrants who cross their property by the thousands every year.

While acknowledging that most immigrants come to America to work and others come because they truly want to become U.S. citizens, "Invasion" shows that an increasing number come "merely to clamor for opportunities and benefits not available to them in their home countries."

"Worse," writes Dougherty, "there is a growing faction in America assisting them – knowing all along these immigrants aren't interested in enriching American society, but rather to take what they can from it."

"There is also a change in mindset among elements of the political establishment and among the U.S. population, in terms of immigration," writes Dougherty. "In years past, gaining access to America so one could share in its promise was treated as a privilege, not a right to be granted automatically just because you could make it over the border. Today, however, the process of immigration – indeed, the requirement our immigrants assimilate into our society – has changed dramatically."

"Illegals" is especially timely now, coming on the heels of an announcement by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge at a town hall-style meeting in Miami Dec. 10. Ridge said Americans need to "come to grips" with an estimated 8 million to 12 million illegal immigrants and "determine how you can legalize their presence."

Though President Bush said Ridge's comments were not akin to granting illegal immigrants amnesty – a policy Bush said he doesn't support because it rewards lawbreaking – immigration-reform advocates and opponents in Congress say such a plan, were it to be adopted, would in practice be nothing less.

"Illegals" provides a gripping and profoundly disturbing dose of truth – the kind most politicians, whether Democrat or Republican, can't seem to confront – about immigration in modern America. As politicians now attempt to deal with this crucial national issue, the book couldn't have come at a more important moment.

Indeed, writes Dougherty in "Illegals": "How the problem is solved – or not solved – ultimately may decide the fate of this nation."

"Illegals: The Imminent Threat Posed by Our Unsecured U.S.-Mexico Border" is now available for pre-order exclusively from WorldNetDaily's online store, ShopNetDaily.

52 - "I've got a few predictions about the US within the next 5 years. Let's just say the Christian values and culture of America are rapidly disappearing....and they eventually will. This country will demote itself to a socialist oligarchy where policy is determined by how best to stay in power."

I agree - I have been estimating 2010.

Like your home page.

[Mamzelle]

You conjure for the crowd.

Supposedly Lago Chapala is all an illusion, eh?

59 - "A conviction would have to be conditional upon proof of intent. Also, it should not be used against individuals who hire casual laborers, just corporations, and even then perhaps those corporations who have at least x number of employees.
A better idea is to institute some sort of tamper-proof biometric markings to track citizen and visitor alike."

Sorry, I must disagree -

1. I don't want to be tracked by bio-chips. I am tracked enough already. What you propose is very scary.

2. It is cheap enough, that if you can pay for an illegal to do some work for you, you can pay for his trip back home. Your method leaves too many holes. Next time, the individual can hire the boy down the street to cut his lawn, and pay him enough that he will do it. That's how I earned all my money as a teenager. And it paid for a car, gas, dates, movies, etc.

Mexico drives out aliens, and particularly from the South--Latin and South America. Only New Zealand has a more restrictive immigration policy.

America has always led the world in its generosity to aliens. Mexico lags and no one ever calls them on it.

My country deserves lawful and orderly and stable immigration--too bad you don't think my country deserves the same.

What I don't understand is why you're here.

Haven't you already won?

[Cultural Jihad]

Well, it seems like you want to take a relative good and turn it into an absolute good, which is the hallmark of an ideologue. Supposedly the kid down the street is an illegal alien from Scotland, and the family wants a trip home for free, since they're all cheapskates and sponges anyway. What a better way than to mow someone's lawn for $5.00 and report him to the XBob Immigration and Travel Bureau.

59 - As far as employers not being INS - sorry - we are all INS, as the government is us. And employers are not exempt from being us, just because we have a government. We are ALL responsible. Remember - 'Of the People, By the People, For the People'?

[XBob]

66 - Well, I have also covered that, but elsewhere. Each illegal gets one shot, after that they are not allowed back.

So in other words you admit that Mexico welcomes North Americans to come and live in their country. Concerning Tim Osman's theoretical plan to move there, Mexico would not at all be restrictive, apart from a valid passport and cash in the bank.

[Cultural Jihad]

So you will issue me a CCW permit? And I can apply for a passport in your kitchen? (sheesh)

[XBob]

what is CCW?

[XBob]

what is CCW?

Why don't you answer MY questions for a change?

I just have *one*, Cultural Jihad...let everyone see if you'll answer a question.

Why are you here? Haven't you gotten what you wanted?

What do you want from us?

[Mamzelle]

Why don't you answer MY questions for a change?

I just have *one*, Cultural Jihad...let everyone see if you'll answer a question.

Why are you here? Haven't you gotten what you wanted?

What do you want from us, now?

And if you can manage to answer two whole questions in a row--

I repeat--

Why doesn't my country deserve lawful, orderly immigration?

[Tim Osman]

Would you, now? You might be interested to know that Mexico is highly restrictive about immigration...

Figures. I've also heard that they very strictly enforce their southern border.

[ America's fate in hands of illegal aliens? ]

Americas fate is in elected republican hands.. sorry for the BAD news... democrats need new 3rd world voters, true... but republicans ?.. who knows why.. mass moronification maybe ?.. the big question who am I personally going to vote for.. an I feel just a little dumber today than yesterday... not a good sign.. damn

[Cultural Jihad]

"Your papers, please." I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was a private pity party.

[Mamzelle]

You evade as well as conjure.

I repeat--what are you after? What point do you seek to make at this venture?

[Aliska]

to think that millions of third world people with no education, no language ability, no job skills can make it on their own and be self-reliant here. A very few can.

We have too many AMERICAN CITIZENS like you described. They will become more and more marginalized and more and more desperate eventually.

Excuse me, but if it's any of your business I was pinged to this thread by someone else, ostensibly to present an opinion or rebuttal to a post that was made.
