Today, members of the violent street gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, include suspected criminals from Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. Besides being tied to criminal acts within the United States, MS-13 is also believed to be running an alien-smuggling ring.
This presents an emerging national-security problem, especially if terrorist groups such as al Qaeda target MS-13 to help imbed its members in "cities of sanctuary." Eventually, terrorists will realize they can come to these communities to plan their next attack with relative safety.
Does this really seem reasonable, especially when we know terrorists continue to pursue American targets? The threat to the homeland remains very real. As a result, we must be vigilant, not complicit, in our response to terrorist movement.

Growing up in Jersey in the 50's just a short city bus ride from NYC was a melting pot experiance. I recall one time in particular. Living there was an experiance, people were from all over. One member of our little neighborhood gang was from Central America. He showed up one day at our hangout with his newly arrived cousin. Beginning with all the swear words popular with young boys, we slowly helped him in learning English. His cousin, already knowing english, was a big help with this. Soon enough he had melted right in. Welcome to America......What the HELL happened to the country since then?
*ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS PING*
More and more Americans want to know the answer to this question. Other questions we want the answers to:
WHY ARE OUR BORDERS STILL VIRTUALLY OPEN IN A TIME OF WAR AND TERRORISM?
WHY AREN'T EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS BEING STRONGLY ENFORCED IN A TIME OF WAR AND TERRORISM??
SPEAK UP, WASHINGTON!!
BTTT!

I cannot understand why this BLATANT, IN-YOUR-FACE obstruction of justice (effectively), this creation of a double legal standard in terms of obeying our laws, the disregard of the Presidential oath, to protect and defend not only the Constitution, but our soverignty....all of the sudden Washington is totally disregarding America and its people, for some wild, destructive, elitist-driven agenda AT THE TOTAL EXPENSE OF AMERICA, ITS CONSTITUTION AND ITS PEOPLE!!!
What planet am I on ???
America is becoming unrecognizable. Where have the real American patriots gone? They're not in Washington, that's for sure.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!

"Withholds an escalating amount of highway apportionments (starting with 5% in FY06 and capping out at 25% in FY 2010) from those states that have enacted “sanctuary laws”(laws that prohibit states or local government entities or officials from sending to, or receiving from the Department of Homeland Security information regrading an individuals citizenship or immigration status)."
Of course, it was not passed.
Tancredo has been trying to get a measure passed that would withhold highway funding from states and municipalities....

Well, the rotten leftists running California just voted down a measure to deny benefits to illegals -- can you freakin' believe it? These maggots will do ANYTHING FOR A VOTE including destroying the state, hosing the taxpayers and supporting the breaking of laws...all for the sake of POWER AND CONTROL.
Just as planned, the hispanic power base in CA is growing in order to keep the invasion coming.
The inmates are running the asylum - coming to all states soon unless those who are SUPPOSED to be representing American citizens put a stop to the madness.
Warning to those in other states - YOU HAVE NO IDEA what is going on until it takes hold in your state. Fight to keep it from happening!

"It's just hard to comprehend how ANYONE could turn a blind eye to such a dangerous situation. ANYONE who would allow a situation to exist knowing that it could result in the deaths of so many Americans is worse than ANY of those terrorists!"

Comprehension does indeed help sir . .

Unfortunately for conservatives, Hillary Clinton is making the issue of illegal immigration a big one for her own benefit...
Where Republicans are on this issue is just silent. It certainly has a lot to do with that "available worker" issue for many Republican-owned businesses, which is a shame because they're engaging in a an option a lot of the rest of us don't respect (employing illegal immigrants because they're cheaper [for the employer in the immediate] than American workers [who are more valuable to the country for many other important reasons).
Oooooh!
That's very good!
