Go away shrill girl.
Maybe, but I don't think their 'glomming' will be effective unless they make commitments (which, of course, we know they won't keep) during the campaigns. I don't think they'll do that. They'll be like Kerry who always planned to make a plan.
No. Illegal immigration only became a problem after Mr. Reagan issued his amnesty. I remember the years before his terms. You did not see Mexicans, except in California and some other border states.
Enforce our immigration laws, even in the face of "racist" charges by illegal immigration advocacy groups, many of them illegal immigrants themselves.
And, yes, we can, for a fraction of the social costs of the illegals. 
Well I hope you all have heard the new one that was reported today.
"The Mexican Army has been reported as having crossed US borders."
Last time I checked that was called an invasion and a declaration of war. But of course that was 30 years ago so maybe the definition has changed for an invasion of other country's military. I'll have to check.
Exactly!
I get SO tired of FReepers telling me I HAVE to vote Republican in the next election or it will be MY fault a Dem wins the Presidency.
HA!
It's the PUBS fault for not giving us a candidate who has the cajones to UPHOLD THE LAW instead of pandering to the One World / affirmative action / support the poor pitiful 'migrants' crowd!
I said immigration, not illegal immigration.
People are going to want to come to this country and that has always been a problem.
The particular groups change, thats all.
Since they're still using the Constitution for toilet paper....
NO, it's not 'enough'.
Its a show of political masturbation to pacify the people.
This maybe true. Everyone wants to live in the USA. I have no problem with that. I realize that we are a country of immigrants but you have to do it LEGALLY!!! Wait in line like everyone else.
And what do you people never leave Iowa?? Jeeze take a vacation and go to California, Arizona, Florida, or COLORADO. Oh wait Colorado isn't on the boarder or did it move? They have a huge illegal immigrant problem and they aren't from Canada. So open your eyes and go to Little Mexico and try to read a sign. Unless you speak Spanish you won't understand it.
HA!

JMo, the above should say, "It's the PUBS fault for not giving usme a candidate who has the cajones to UPHOLD THE LAW instead of pandering to the One World / affirmative action / support the poor pitiful 'migrants' crowd!".
Now I disagree with your above, which is IMO, a paranoid rant, and look at the whole situation.
And you know that the dems will not do anything and make the situation worse, but what the hey, you seem to enjoy that cutting off that nose to spite your face.
I agree with all the negative statements about Bush. He has performed OK as a war President but has otherwise been awful and not just on illegal immigration. Think, 40% expansion of the Dept of Education, $100 billion farm subsidy, red ink as far as the eye can see, and Medicare Prescription Drugs which are the largest expansion of socialism since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.
Rather than Hillary I think we should elect Tom Tancredo. He is not only good on illegal immigration but he is actually a real conservative.
Hey I work for a living! On Vacation I pack my wife and 8 kids into the van and drive to Des Moines! It's a kick.
If the Minutemen become too large a thorn to the administration, they'll be turned into a Waco puddle. Probably using some kind weapons baloney as the excuse.
I beg to differ. It was the voters of our country that provided the money, boots on the ground, and votes during the campaign that provided the Republican party with the majority in Congress. Thus far the Congressional majority is exhibiting the same lack of spine as when they were a minority in the face of democrat/socialist attackers. The R-party has rolled or postured far too often to earn any respect.
Well good for you! Your living in your own world then! I work for a living too! It's called the Marine Corps. So when you've traveled to more states than I have and more countries than I've been stationed in then tell me that immigartion isn't a problem. "After all it's only an issue for the boarder states" Isn't that how you put it?
But we're talking about illegal immigration. Legal immigration has never been a problem because we regulate that quite nicely, even after the 14th amendment.
People are going to want to come to this country and that has always been a problem.
No, it hasn't. Because people who want to come, and will do so legally, don't get to come until and unless they get processed. That is controlled by law and enforced.
The Mexican government encourages the illegal emmigration for a variety of reasons and probably did put a halt on Arizona crossings. They probably do not enjoy the Minuteman Movement and will seek to get it quashed. The Minutemen need to be careful out there.
"AMENSTY FOR ILLEGALS BUT NOT FOR MINUTEMEN?
Maybe he's afraid of being labeled racist. Why would that be?"
The only people left to discriminate against is the European white people, specifically male. Otherwise you are labeled racist.
Everyone I think knows that.
I dint say it isn't a problem Jarhead, { can say that cause I'm an ex dogface } I said that we simply don't notice it here. Get off my ass. I am trying to point out, maturely!!!, that there is a problem among conservatives who simply don't recognize the problem. Learning about the existance of the Minutemen is a great way to get us isolated conservatives in on the problem. Selfrighteously chewing us out only pisses us of at you in particular and may even make us mad enough to turn a deaf ear to the problem. So lighten TF up!
Bush has been a great president, one of the best we have ever had and I have been around a lot longer than most of you so I would know.
We are making headway on gun control, we have stopped terroism cold in the ME, it is just a matter of time before it dissapears there altogether. Democracy is running rampant and Bush caused ALL of it to come about. Also we are gradually making people aware of our liberal education system that needs to be changed and it wil be if we keep republicans in office
If you think the Dems are going to do anything about immigration you are sadly mistaken and you will get much more than you bargain for if you allow Hillary or some other idiot Dem to be voted in and if you allow Dems to regain seats in 2006.
They will push their anti-gun, anti-marriage, legislating judiciary, illegal immigrant programs until they are blue in the face, bill after bill will be passed and you will be moaning and complaining and maybe spending a little jail time because you decided to speak your mind about it. Make no mistake: If we allow one more Dem in the presidency or a dem majority in the congress within the next 20 years we will become a communist country with very few individual freedoms, if any, to call our own. So, go ahead and throw your temper tantrums like little children, for you will soon not have the right to do so if you abandon the Republican party.
