Good find, Dennis.

With Bush's popularity sinking like a rock, I hope his "Amnesty-for-all-illegals" hopes are dead on arrival in Congress. I intend to refuse to support any candidate who will not enforce our immigration laws. What is the Republican party thinking? They've allowed companies to ship some of our best jobs overseas to foreign workers, and allowed companies to replace American workers with illegals here at home. American First! American jobs are for Americans.

We should not be a pressure release valve to preserve the corruption in Mexico.

The most important issue we face today and only seven posts on FR as of this writing.

If the illegal immigration problem is not solved, none of the other issues will matter.

Secure Our Borders Now!

Do you want someone to work 60 minutes an hour and not complain - to the contrary, be grateful for the job at half the rate paid domestic workers? Hire Mexicans.

First it was landscapers,
Then the roofers,
now it's the drywallers, carpenters, masons.

The pipefitters and electricians in Iowa are nervous as hell.

It's too late in Nebraska, the illegals pretty much have push out the natives from all construction work. Unless you're willing to work at 1/3 scale.

And I swear, if I see one more mexican climbing up the front of a 480 Volt Power Panel....

I often read that Mexicans are paid half normal wages in the US. Certainly they are hard workers. I live in chicken country, and almost all the people who turn live chickens into fryers are Mexicans. I assume that they don't make a lot of money doing this.

However they come in day after day with wads of $100 bills, buying cell phones, karaoke machines, giant stereos and iPods...things I don't have the budget to afford. And I know they are sending part of their income back home to Mexico. One way or another, they are taking home more $$$ than I am. Are they paying taxes the same as I do? I don't know.

On the plus side, most of them seem to be very nice folks. On the minus side, they are monopolizing the service industries and they aren't learning English. Would I rather have them here than Islamofascists? You bet. They are good people. Yet here they are, often undocumented, living among us and enjoying a great life, having completely bypassed any normal and legal entry into American life. And they are here to stay. Better get a Spanish dictionary, you'll need it to do business in America.

I believe we should offer amnesty to these poor CRIMINAL INVADERS.
Give them 2 weeks to get the HE!! out of our country.
Bury the ones who don't honor this amnesty in jail or __.
Give huge fines and jail time to all of their aiders or abettors, private or government.

Illegals are a bane that the powers that be just to not recognise.

Used to be in this country, there was a place to go for those who are, at best, semi-skilled labor. Not any more. Mexicans are absolutely taking over all of the low skill jobs that used to be stepping stones for Americans to use to build a better life, or just to earn a decent, though not great, living.

Mexico is America's parasite.

Meanwhile, from the south comes the populist Chavez to make siren music to the ears of the Mexican downtrodden.

Fox must engage in verbal warfare to keep the music away.

There are going to be bad problems between Mexico and Venezuela.
