and I like the cheap labor

Of course you do --- it's a win-win situation for you --- you have docile cheap employees who get their living costs paid by the taxpayers. You get dupes who don't expect you to provide them with health insurance benefits or enough wages to buy their own health care --- you can dump that onto the taxpayers to cough up for them. Sure illegals will cram 20 people to a single family dwelling, gladly take your $4 an hour job with no benefits, not even workman's comp. You get by with breaking every labor law there is and you get rich while the rest of us see our property taxes climb sky high.

Wow, you are completely clueless. Do you truely believe both the 'rat party and the Republican party would take a stand against over 50% of the voters.

Uh, yes. Ignoring polls you don't like again? It's the "where else are they going to go" syndrome.

You are beyond help. Live in your conspiracy world if you wish but please don't try to pass yourself off as rational.

You need to get out more. Or ask for a refund from your critical thinking professor.

If I break into your home can I live there as long as I have a job cleaning toilets or picking crops?

And Dubya so wanted to expand medical benifits

It's like a yuppie type woman I know here who brags she can't turn on a vaccum cleaner --- she gets cheap live in maids from Mexico --- she was complaining how she figured the young ones would work better but every one of them would get pregnant within a couple months of arriving, work until they delivered and then never need to work again (baby's welfare checks), so she tried an older woman who worked out for a short time but then showed signs of being quite ill --- so this woman had to dump her off in front of the county hospital and find another servant. In about 20 years she managed to bring in about 20 servants who all became dependents of the taxpayers.

"But critics say the enforcement will fall mainly on illegal immigrants who are hard-working members of society - and to local D.M.V. clerks with no understanding of complicated immigration laws."

DUH?
Illegal = lawbreaker, SSI# not match = fraud, no complication for D.M.V. "clerks" - just use of common sense.

The illegal immigrant is stealing the rights of citizens, legal immigrants, and legally intended immigrants.

You can't back that up with fact. The number of legal immigrants is static. It doesn't change if their are 1 million illegals entering the US or zero. Try again genius.

You seem to have forgotten California is going bankrupt due to services stolen by illegal immigrants. I wonder how many other state and federal services are being drained due to illegal immigration costs. Try again half baked.

I got a speeding ticket last year. According to this article this woman has been living in the US for 11 years without incident. Illegals are not a bunch of drug dealers and mothers who pimp their children. They are people who don't want to get raped by the local Mexican sheriff, or beaten by local gangs. What a sad day for America when our citizens think that freedom is common place.

You are long on feelings, but short on facts. Thirty percent of our prison population in the United States is composed of illegal immigrants, and the majority are there for violent crimes.

When in doubt - follow the money. How did all this moral relativism get such a foothold on the consevative side of the equation?

Good post.

You are a fanatic liberal with no moral or ethical grounding except some wierd liberal/relgious god complex who has latched onto some destructive cultish belief of America as savior not a nation.

Do you fear a non-English speaking immigrant will take your job?

Ask California construction workers that question, they'll answer "yes". Ask that same question of truck drivers, tile layers, gardeners, nannies, restaurant workers, etc. etc. etc. They'll answer "yes". That's LOTS of American jobs that are being taken over by illegal aliens who work for less than Americans can. Their medical care, their schooling, their food stamps, their incarceration, is paid for by American citizens. No more sob stories, please.

"I feel humiliated because I think there's no reason to take it from me," she said. "I was a good driver; I never got a ticket for a red light or passed a stop sign. I always had insurance."

I feel humiliated too. Humiliated that the traitorous politicians in America has sold us down the river to illegal immigrants, and have created this hell hole of a country for our citizen to live in.
