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.

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.

Wetbacks use to be welcomed...these days with their militant stances who needs them.

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.

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"?

Illegals are ready and willing to fight a people who do nothing to combat them. Want to bet how many citizens will organize to stop the destruction of our society by illegals who rape, murder, bring drugs, use our schools and hospitals for free, increase disease, etc....... Answer None - because we all know that not only would the liberal media and dems attack us as racist but the backstabbing GOP would also run and hide.

We are alone on this, the time is now to confront Bush and the Bushies - this is the issue that will break the party.

[Flavius Josephus]

Many illegal immigrants and their advocates really seem to believe that if you enter the country illegally but then keep your nose clean and never break another law, it's like you never entered illegally in the first place.

I don't believe them when they claim this anyway. If they'll scoff at the law to get in, then they scoff at the law any other time it serves their purpose. But then, I guess welfare fraud isn't really a crime either, or tax cheating, or document fraud, or money laundering, or skipping out on medical bills, etc.
