If we took the 4 million illegals off the streets California, our highways and fwys would be functioning again.

And so would our schools, our hospitals, our social services system... we might even be able to pull our state out of bankruptcy!

A wall would be cheaper and more effective.

From your lips to our governments plugged ears.

The vast majority of illegal border crossers are only looking to better their lives, but about 5 to 10 percent represent a criminal element and cause a great deal of problems, said Pima County Sheriff's Department Capt. Frank Duarte.

100% of illegal aliens represent a lawbreaker element.

WHAT? Dang, I missed that one! Do me a favor, please send me the link to that one, I GOTTA add that to the tribute page!

BTW, swampy's been pretty quiet since yesterday morning. Knowing him and his kind heart, he's probably busy helping all the hurricane refugees in the Astrodome right now...

I'm looking to better our lives by removing the 10 - 20 million criminal aliens living in our midst. What - but wait, what I think doesn't matter?!

Perhaps simply documenting them then transporting the illegal person (s) back to central Mexico. Sending them back is cheaper in the long run rather than incarcerate them in the U.S. for days and weeks on the tax payer's tit.

Sure it would be cheaper. California's tit alone is drying up with the 10 billion these suckers cost us every single year.

The Mexico Express would be a good business for some aspiring entrepeneur to start up, and it could do the job a LOT cheaper, since OUR OWN GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO ACT.

I'll bet there are thousands of retired pilots who would love to fly again for a good cause and a good salary. America could save BILLIONS each year.

What contest are these "entrants" entering? If it's Publisher's Clearing House, Ed McMahon can handle it.

Can you post the page of El Universal you referenced? All I get when I google Fox/Hurricane Katrina is a lot of hits commenting on Fox News coverage of the hurricane. Thanks.

More stats on costs of "cheap labor" ping.

Thanks for the ping, BQ.

Well, I sure am glad I was able to buy that head of lettuce today for under a dollar! Save a couple of bucks, but spend millions/billions. Sounds like really bad economics.

Well, it's true - from the social services workers to the hospital/medical facility's staff and right down to law enforcement and detention personnel and the construction workers building the new jails and schools because they're overcrowded. The back side to all those jobs created is the US taxpayer pays the full tab.

Outstanding point. Bail bondsmen, coroners, oh and lets not forget the lawyers. When al Qaeda comes through the southern border and nukes a few cities think of all the construction jobs that will be created, good for gravediggers too.

Unfortunately though, those are jobs that'll be filled by border-hoppers because they'll most likely be the jobs Americans CAN'T do.

I would agree with him, to a point. The illegal certainly does his part.

1. more border patrol

2. more welfare workers

3. interpreters

4. more interpreters

5. land developers to build colonias

6. immigration lawyers

7. Lulac, LaRaza, SPLC flunkees

8. shills for the open border lobby

9. police officers

10. court clerks to handle the crime cases

Probably more than 10. Was he assuming to tell us this is a good deal for the rest of us?

It's all the added people from illegal immigration, who---poor things!---somehow manage to get themselves nice trucks and SUVs.

This is quite true. I've driven past the fields and seen tons of SUVs. Also, someone I know said that she has seen their families coming for free food in their SUVs.
