Isn't it interesting that in the name of Homeland Security fedgov policies have put troops in our airports shaking down gray-haired white folks but our borders leak like a sieve allowing any number of killers, thieves, rapists, etc. into the country to terrorize innocent Americans.
Recently, a fine young Dallas cop was gunned down by some drunk Mexican illegal who was allowed on our streets because of the Dallas PD policy of "don't ask, don't tell"........so all in the name of gutless PC a fine young man is in a grave. I'm sure in the twisted minds of these political/MSM useful idiots it's just another casualty of the revolution to de-construct this country as we know it.
azhenfud, Great post.
What about checking citizenship status when renting apartments or buying real estate? The illegals that come over here all need a place to stay. If the person who owns the real estate is responsible for verifying citizenship status, there would be a mass exodus of illegals back to Mexico, or other country of origin.
Likewise on schools and, as you mentioned, hospitals.
Who's gonna track that?
This is another reason why they are called the "stupid" faction in the "Two-Party Cartel".
It's true illegals need a place to stay, but to deprive them of the funds or the means to acquire that apartment or real estate would have the same effect.

That AND as a bonus Mexico sheds itself of all those that would rise up to make change. The fear of course being it would go Communist. Just how quick would that wall go up then? Practically overnight.
Force/coerce/badger/hector and otherwise harass Mexico's corrupt political elite into cleaning up their act and giving their own citizens a shot at the Good Life.
To encourage them in attaining this noble goal, ban cruise ships from stopping at Mexico's resorts, prohibit or have looong inspections of any tourists heading south, be creative and bust their cojones until they get the message that the Gringos aren't taking this B/S any more.
Fine and JAIL those who knowingly employ illegals on our side. One or two bigs shots doing even 90 days will send a loud message to those on our side.
Anything less is just akin to the Dutch Boy and the Dike routine.
Of course there will be lots of screaming, but then, "Ah feel yore pain."
" It is about the cheap labor lobby."
Bush really likes the donations from the business lobby. He may get lots of cash from them but he seems to forget that they can't vote. I guess he thinks he'll get all the hispanic vote. Fat chance- 60% or more of them are democrats.
I really believe it's all about the FTAA/American Union and all that implies. Illegal imm. is just TPTB's way of telling us this hemispheric union ala the EU is going to be shoved up ours regardless of what we peons do or say.
You may get a chance to vote for someone who will do something but the oligarchs will see to it that no primaries are won.
Here's a nice Tancredo site. That photo of him with the shotgun says it all.
You apparently missed this: ...accountable to the citizen first and the illegal alien only in emergency cases.
Their oaths are to protect life - I understand that. No one has suggested turning away anyone in a life-threatening emergency, certainly not I. However if YOU, as a caregiver, expect taxpayers to reimburse you for expenditures incurred in critical OR non-critical cases on the illegal alien's behalf, you ought be held responsible for the funds you request.
If the taxpayer foots the bill, you who "spend" the money ought be held accountable. The medical profession certainly has no ethical hesitation of increasing costs on the insured or paying patients/clients to cover failures to pay - taxpayers as paying clients ought be afforded the luxury of seeing just where their money goes and what they're paying for.
There are countless instances where "non-critical" cases are classified as "emergency" just so those would be paid by the taxpayer. By requiring - no, demanding - full accounting transparency, some of that would cease or be less likely to occur.
No one is suggesting to turn them away in an life threatening situation. Just patch them up, stabilize them and send them back to a Mexican hospital so their taxpayers can foot the rest of the bill.
Haven't read the article yet; generally speaking, I like Boortz...though I don't agree with EVERYTHING he ever says/thinks; still, I do think he usually hits the nail on the head, and anticipate this article will do just that. Hence my ping.
That is why it is imperative we end this insanity this election cycle. After another 4 years of open borders, another 5 million Illegals, we will be outnumbered-we already are in many areas-and it will be over for Conservatives.
And hes not even embarassed..
I will read it. Thanks for the ping.
Maybe the Border Patrol or ICE or DHS. One of those agencies that are supposed to stop illegals.
So you're going to give them power to audit and scan the SSN status of every employee of every business in the US in the hopes of spotting an illegal among them?
They've already been down this road, Swank, several years ago. The manpower and cost requirements of an active government effort to perform such searches are prohibitive.
The next suggestion was to make employers clear their prospective employees as "legals" prior to hiring them, subject to large fines. Perhaps you recall the hooraw about this proposal -- employers generally wanted no part of it, for a variety of reasons, including liability and a strong desire to not be an arm of law enforcement. (Here we see perhaps an argument of convenience: the folks yelling loudest were probably the ones who benefit most from illegal immigration.)
The heart of the illegal immigration problem is the Americans who are hiring illegals. The solution has to be able to address this fact, in such a way that it's easy for employers to comply, and difficult for employers to bypass.
The answer is probably some combination of Bush's "guest worker registration" idea, tied in with the IRS reporting that any employer must do.
You bet it is! We're being sold out under the guise of "globalization" which will erase any borders we once had. Goodbye sovereignty! GWBush's Amerika.
