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.

I wonder if Chertoff will stop the USBP's "Barney Fife" pistol policy and give them real guns?

Illegal aliens can't get welfare.

They sure get it here in California where no one can question a person's citizenship status! You would be shocked at the freebies they collect here (paid for by us).

Bush/Chertoff wouldn't want to offend Vicente, Travis. "Human rights" for border hoppers, but not a care in the world for OUR human rights.

Ask how many are in favor in the war on terrorism, and volunteer to be strip searched at the entry to our airports while at the same time, transport trucks and humveess can drive though wide open gaps through the entry points on the border.

Questions that are more to the point about deportation and privacy;

Ask how many are in favor of random ICE raids on all businesses? How many are in favor of ICE agents randomly barging into the work place, randomly detaining people that they see, demanding identification of these randomly detained employees so that they may crosscheck their id's against employer I-9 forms?

IDK, but it's obviously costing much more over time for the U.S. Taxpayer to keep them here, not to mention that they're bankrupting valuable services to the rest of us.

It would keep them out if we had an effective fence that they couldn't just cut through or go around. Perhaps two much like the Berlin wall was.

It's a flawed argument to say that it's gonna cost too much. It "costs too much" with lawyers involved. If we just round them up, put them on buses or trains, cart their asses back to Mexico without having to ensure that they go in five-star, first-class comfort, then I can't imagine that it costs all that much.

But the cost to us over the long haul is the loss of our nation. Which would you rather pay. I'm tellin' ya, in 50 years you won't be able to tell the difference between certain parts of the US and Mexico. It may not even take nearly that long.

It's kind of like saying it's too expensive to treat cancer. Well, OK, but we all know that the result is if we don't.

How do you really know? Find me a link to study with comparisons okay and then maybe we can argue the point more.

Um yes they do. I worked for Social Services in San Diego and my husband was a welfare worker there. You are lying.

"we should use our experimental bunker buster bombs on them. We can then see where the tunnels lead to on the other side of the border."

Without advertising it, plant land mines in the tunnels and when the illegals or smugglers set them off it collapses the tunnel and eliminates the perpetrators.

And there's still that little matter in the US Constitution that gives any person who is born within the US becomes a citizen.

Huh? I find this very hard to believe.

Know what? Comparisons to what?

Judging by the implications, you seem as if you're the type to have a leak in your plumbing but perfectly willing to sit there and drown to death in it before you seem to think a problem exists.

P.S. If you don't have any common sense, then there's really not much way of getting any.

You are lying.

You're the one who is wrong.

My sis in law works for CA social services, and she says that document fraud is rampant, and that it's a well known fact that MANY illegals are collecting every freebie they can get away with, and that those who are supposed to be running the place don't much care.

If you and your hubby had really worked for CA SS, you wouldn't be accusing people of lying.

Another issue that should change in a time of war and invasion from a third world country.

Noticing that you don't live in California anymore, I suppose it doesn't bother you that these invaders cost California taxpayers 10 billion bucks every year. We don't like it much, m'am.

Yup, and free housing when they get flooded out, and a Napa Register front page forum demanding that the city, landlords and insurance companies get going on fixing their apartments so they can move back in ASAP.
