I know the feeling. I'd say there is another million illegals in the Houston area alone. When you take into account other cities, both small and large, that have hordes of illegals the numbers are staggering. Yes, I totally believe there are millions upon millions of illegals in the US, with more on the way. Thanks a lot Dubya, for not even caring.
Do you suppose they'll all re-register to FR under another name after we're attacked or will they continue on with their pali-stinian, Vicente Fox-like spin..? Or just leave...
Correction: "The Irish and Catholics"
They would have hated Italians.
You need a hug.
Mexico has 130 million people.
So? At what point do you consider our sovereignty compromised. Should we just consider mexicans de facto citizens of the United States?
Ummm... What does that mean?
You are a star...lol
What were u thinking it could mean?
Just think. If W gets reelected, he'll continue his two-track Mexico-merger plan (stealth matricula-card amnesty plus overt amesty-global-labor-pool legislation). And if W goes down to Kerry, it'll be just as bad, though still more politically correct (JFK will speed muslim immigration even more to show "fairness").
Hunker down and hope for a decent choice in 2008.
I'm sick of voting for the "lessor of two evils". That's not what this country was founded for.
I get a choice between a someone who allows the country to be invaded illegally on a daily basis, and a freak tax-addicted flip-flopper who's wife makes money on freaking Ketchup.
What has this country come to. What does it freaking matter any more?
In 12 years Vicente Fox will be el Presidente' (I think he is already) and none of this crap will matter.
I'm writing someone in on Election day. Anybody. Maybe Jim Rob. Maybe even you. I'm sure you couldn't screw up worse.
Neither of these Treasonous individuals have earned my vote.
I had no idea. Thanks for the compliment. I am not real big on instant message shortkeyboard.
First the will to investigate must be there. It can be done legally: Remember the Walmart mess a year or so ago?
I just can't throw up my hands and say forget it because someone will have to investigate and ask questions. LEOs do that every day they are on the job.
Something like this: Investagate a suspected business & if warranted, have the appropriate DHS agency audit the workforce at the poultry plant. Check the worker public personal data on file (address, etc.), if it's phoney, ask for greater cooperation from the business. Repeat if necessary. Eventually, if the problem persists, require the business to validate their workforce as legal at their expence for a 5-year period. Stiff fines and possible incarceratioon for continued violations and those responsible.
Are such laws on the books? I don't know. But the above seems fair to honest businessmen. They screw up, they fix it, no problem. They don't fix it, they pay the price.
Charge me $1.00 more for my chicken wings order.
Gotta take my vitamins and get ready for the President on O'Reilly.
lol, that sounded like a political stump speech. Too bad you're not on the ballot, I would definitely vote for you over the two illegal alien loving guys running for office now.
I understand the inexorable dynamics of markets. Labor is one.
Somebody is roofing in Las Vegas in July. It's integral to the economy. It ain't the students on summer break from Stanford and ASU.
I embrace those guys. Honestly. They are foreign nationals, but they are better Americans than third generation big butted welfare queens.
Let's acknowledge the power of people wanting to help themselves. Let's understand we're a nation of immigrants. Let's understand that Democrat socialist welfare corruption has tainted the process of people leaving their country to find a better life here.
I focus my contempt at the RATS and their bureaucratic and Judicial enablers. That's the SOURCE of our illegal immigration plague.
Why do dumbos on FR blame Bush and Hutchinson? It's easy.
Cookie?
WTF?
Oh thank goodness for the intellectual members of voting public like this individual!
If I had a practical solution I'd be screaming it from the rooftops. All I know is I'm pretty dead set against some of the proposed solutions I've seen so far on this forum. As I've said before, I don't think the long term solution to a what is basically an economic problem is to militarize the border or build a wall around our nation or criminalize our employers or deprive our citizens of their constitutional rights.
But isn't that a sad, sad commentary on the state of affairs in America.
We don't get to vote for someone who will do the right thing, we have to vote for someone who will do fewer bad things.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but it wasn't supposed to be this way.
This is not what our men and women are fighting for, or have fought for since the 1700's.
