The problem includes people coming here as common criminals to prey on our citizens with the huge attendant costs. The problem includes those coming here to suck off the largess of the American taxpayer with its significant impact on American families. The problem includes our loyal citizenry being diluted by those who owe no allegiance to our country or its founding principals. The problem is no less than the potential for the destruction of of our country, as we know it, and our cherished way of life

Your problems sounds like liberalism, only you want to blame the person who comes here to clean toilets and make an honest living, and not the liberal system, i.e welfare, the liberally dominated school system, etc.etc.

BTW, it's to bad that tancredo wasn't squawking about deporting this guy.

The ex-con father of a little girl who was beaten and stabbed to death with her best friend on Mother's Day is under arrest and will be charged with first-degree murder. Jerry Hobbs (search), who has an extensive criminal history and was released from a Texas jail just last month, stabbed his daughter, 8-year-old Laura Hobbs (search), and her 9-year-old schoolmate, Krystal Tobias (search), repeatedly in the neck, Illinois state attorney Mike Waller said Tuesday.

" BTW, it's to bad that tancredo wasn't squawking about deporting this guy.'

If Tancredo was really serious about illegal immigration, he would start in his own backyard-the ski resorts of Colorado.
The resorts freely admit that they could not operate without illegal immigrants. It's the dirty little secret of Colorado tourism .
The WalMart in Avon is known by the locals as MexiMart.
The liftees at the ski resorts are generally Americans and Aussies ( here during the Australian summer, our winter .)
However, the resorts use the illegals in the subterranean areas, where they can't generally be seen by the public, such as laundry ,off season landscaping and the kitchen.
The resort employee parking lots at shift change could be Guadalajara, Mexico.
Just across I-70 from Cordillera ( the ritzy resort of Kobe Bryant fame ) are trailer parks crammed with illegals, sleeping 4 to a mattress.
Anyone who lives or vacations in Colorado knows this as fact, why doesn't Tancredo ?

Resort Counties Push For Legal Workers
by David Frey

Proposal from Colorado resort towns would expand guest-worker program

"This winter, Vail Resorts asked the Immigration and Naturalization Service for more than 1,500 H-2B visas, an eighth of the company’s expected workforce.
About 200 of Aspen Skiing Co.’s expected 3,500 workers are slated to come on the same program.
But for most smaller employers, says Jim Laing, vice president for human resources at Aspen Skiing Co., the temporary visa programs are too complicated, involving state and federal officials,
lots of time and lots of money.
Since tourist economies are seasonal, many employers say they can’t wait for the federal government to issue visas.
Instead, they hire illegals and don’t ask too many questions."

If Tancredo is unaware of this situation he is either asleep at the switch or a hypocrite, afraid of rocking the Colorado tourism boat.
Tancredo should first deal with the situation in his home state and be less holier than thou if he wants to be a legitimate player in the illegal immigration crisis.
And as a major Bushbot, I hope that President Bush will realize and acknowledge that illegal immigration is a national crisis and not merely a social or labor problem.
