Via Instapundit:
Almost two-thirds of Americans (63%) consider illegal immigration a “very serious” or “extremely serious” problem in the United States, according to a TIME Poll. The majority (74%) believes the U.S. is not doing enough to secure its borders. . . .
TIME’s Poll shows that half (50%) of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home countries (45% oppose). Three-in-four (76%) favor allowing illegal immigrants in the U.S. to earn citizenship if they learn English, have a job and pay taxes. . . . Meanwhile 700,000 undocumented immigrants from around the world continue to enter the U.S. each year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
What amendment number is that?
Social security number and proof of residence. SS cards are usually fraudulently used. Everything is for sale, even fraudulent birth certificates.
Electronic finger print identification would help.
No whistleblower laws until later, but later I did see one whistleblower set up with illegal drugs found in his desk and locker....
Okay, I'll be more concrete. Most of the incidences were known about after the fact, but the few I knew about in advance were defintely reported. A State Senator was a family friend.
How would that help? Is there a national registry of US Citizens fingerprints? Are you fingerprinted?
Thanks for the information. As a state worker and to believe the generalizations made in this thread are you a "corrupt" state worker?
I know this is a little off the subject of fingerprinting(and yes, in Ga you have to give one fingerprint to get your driver license.) But I've been thinking about the announcement that the Border Patrol was going to stop the Catch and Release of OTMs. Now I agree with this completely. But I don't think that the taxpayers should have to foot the bill of sending them home. If they are caught coming across the Mexican Border then we should send them back back into Mexico and inform them that they will be put in a tent jail or shot trying to cross back into the USA. I bet Mexico would stop a lot of the OTMs from coming into their country. Just a thought.
I think that they can get benefits of some kind if they give birth to a child here. I work in a grocery store, and a representative with the WIC program said that one doesn't have to be legally in this country to get benefits from this agency. If a woman is here illegally but has a child here, then she is qualified to receive vouchers that will pay for milk, cheese, baby formula, cereal, eggs, etc.. A lot of these gals come in with a boyfriend who no doubt lives with them, but are only able to qualify for the voucher because they state on the application that they are single. This is one of the biggest frauds out there today. Folks are getting food stamps, welfare and WIC in some cases because the gov't thinks that they are single with no means to pay for life's essentials. When I see these women, they are usually accompanied by a very healthy looking man (no rings) who no doubt could get off his dead rear end and take some responsibility.
The waste and fraud just boggles my mind, not to mention how angry I become when I think of how many US tax dollars are being eaten up by these freeloaders.
Under your highly, ahem, "original" form of mathematical analysis, would you be able to accept even 100% as sufficient to constitute a "supportable position" for the Republicans, once you subtract from that 100% the democrats, the liberals, the Communists, the Republicans who hate Bush, the Bushites who don't vote, the Wobblies...
I live in a liberal state. I am surrounded by liberals. Some of these liberals hate illegal immigration. Some of these same liberals would never vote for a Republican even if that Republican supported random ID checks at their places of employment by ICE agents.
I know these people. The math wasn't original.
BTW, you should have that *ahem* post nasal drip looked at. It impairs your *ahem* delivery.
Only the child who is born here and is a US citizen gets welfare aid.
"Give a 6 months notice that the law will go into effect and anyone caught without a valid workers permit will not only be deported, but they will never be allowed back in the country."
They wouldn't move. They know the ACLU and other legal fascists would be to their rescue and a knucklehead lib judge would stop the thing.
No, but it sounds like you just fell off the turnip truck, reading comprehension skills are in order for you. Were you among those hired a few years back when they were definitely looking for unqualifed employees?... no I'm not kidding.
"If a woman is here illegally but has a child here, then she is qualified to receive vouchers that will pay for milk, cheese, baby formula, cereal, eggs, etc.."
That's correct. What else do you propose? Taking US citizen children and putting them in foster homes and deporting their illegal parents back to whatever is their home country? If not, what else you propose?
"The waste and fraud just boggles my mind, not to mention how angry I become when I think of how many US tax dollars are being eaten up by these freeloaders."
If you suspect fraud is involved, report it.
Lmao...I can't say that's an admirable job. Read.

Where I have been in error in any post in this thread?
What is the amendment number again. Please answer.
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment14/
14th amendment of coarse.
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Okay. If a person is born here you can't discriminate against them if born here (child) not the illegal parent.

The original purpose of the amendment was to provide citizenship for former slaves and give them full civil rights
Where do you read the "intent of slavery"? I sure as heck don't see it.
