It isn't real helpfull for them to hold signs claiming they're "Taking America back". Even liberals are a little nervous about that one.

The BIG problem remains a government, with an executive that is PRO-illegal immigration and is setting a horrid example for this nation, that will not do anything about the problem. Clearly until Washington starts working again for the people that put these pols there, will there be any change to status-quo, vote-generating law-breaking encouragement from and in Washington.

If only the liberals were nervous about that. Nope the liberals welcome such sentiments.

I'm surrounded by liberals, and not one of them likes the flood of illegals.

My liberal relatives don't seem too interested in handing the country over to anybody. My liberal uncle even spends extra money to do background checks to make sure the immigrants he hires are legal.

It isn't real helpfull for them to hold signs claiming they're "Taking America back".Which is why they should be encouraged to keep on holding up signs like that.
Also, the more Mexican flags waving at their protests, the better.

In Chicago, nearly 100,000 people clogged the streets recently in support of immigrants and looser immigration laws. More like 'no immigration laws'.
The first time they marched last year in Chicago it was about 10,000 (organized by self-identified communists).
Not ONE peep from the English-speaking Illinois or national media.
This time there were 100,000. The reporting in the press was what I would call muted. They couldn't totally ignore it, but they sure didn't give it the play it deserved. Not even close.
The situation in LA and Chicago should be a wakeup call for America.

I'm surrounded by liberals, and not one of them likes the flood of illegals. That's why HONEST polling done on this issue shows overwhelming support in BOTH parties and among independents for solving the problem.

This is THE issue I part company with the GOP. I will support the first party or candidate, with mmy time money and votes that is serious about stopping illegal immigration and real border control. Nothing else will matter if we don't get this under control and very soon.

Wow...use donations to have ads in newspapers and magazines that feature these pictures.
It will increase support for the Minutemen tenfold. Wouldn't these pictures be great in negative ads against politicians who support the invasion?
(I'd consider it a worthy cause to support financially)

much of the angst over illegal immigration comes from the clash of cultures
In New Zealand sentences like this will get you classified as a leftist lunatic. Even the New Zealand Labour Party, officially a member of Socialist International and headed by a Prime Minister to the left of Hillary Clinton, is to the right of the author on this statement.

the 'Rule of Law' is well on its way to being history in this nation. I have seen part of my family pack up and leave this nation for that reason. I may be next to take my family and leave. A nation cannot survive without borders. Ronald Reagan warned us. We failed to listen. The last amnesty for illegals was to be President Reagan's amnesty, now we have common criminals in our streets demanding more from the taxpayers. All heck is about to happen, and believe me, the illegals here are well armed and well funded. If we attempt to move them out, we will find open warfare in the streets. We may see open warfare in our streets because of our lack of enforcing immigration law, either way the US citizens will lose. I can point out entire towns in this nation that have more illegal people in the town than legal residents of the town. This was a well thought out plan by the politicians and we the citizens will pay because we allowed the illegal migration. 9-11 was a pin prick compared to what awaits us. I do not look forward to that day, week, or year. I will hope my family is out of this nation before that day, week, or year, but as fate would have it, there may be no place to go, where the effect will not be felt.

To: Crackingham
Don't misunderstand. The bill is deeply flawed... it makes clergy, charities and social workers into criminals by expanding the definition of ``smuggling'' to include anyone who ``assists'' an illegal immigrant.how is that a "flaw"?

LAS VEGAS -- A 'material lack of qualified labor in Las Vegas over the next several years' threatens new casinos and high-rise condominiums being developed here, a Deutsche Bank study found. This excerpt is from the article you cited in GAMING NEWS.
Hmmmmmm.....let's put this in perspective. US citizens spend a disproportionate amount of time in casinos....gambling, partying, and being waited on. There aren't enough citizens to cater to their whims. So, we need foreign labor to pour their drinks and provide their food? Too many people playing, not enough left to do the work?
And just how does this differ from Nero fiddling while Rome burned?

More: I do not see how the politicians could never see these signs.
- They just aren't doing anything unless we force the issue at the grassroots level
