"In my estimation, on of the most"
Excellent, Jeff! Well done!!
Excellent, Jeff! Well done!!
Thanks...I saw trhat after it was posted and already sent. Oh well...I believe the message is still clear. Also, the word colleague was mispelled.
Thanks...they need to get millions of such letters.
For people here legally now, yes. But in this situation I've reached the end of my patience with this ethnic segment of immigration. I'm sorry, but I just can't come up with a shred of tolerance after seeing what they've done to California. I had reached that point long before this "outburst." In San Jose they have nightly outbursts of "Mexican Pride," with low-riders packed with flag-waving foreigners in down town. You can find Mexican flags in storefronts, flying from balconies, and on the backs of cars, and tattooed to the populace. I've just had enough, Jeff.

That's the issue. The illegals, those who are their descendants who have a foundation resting upon the opposite of those things I have mentioned...that is what needs to be corrected. Those coming here wanting to adopt and live those ideals will serve more to correct this problem than worsen it.
And even if some of them are entirely of Mayan descent; well their ancestors wouldn't be from North America now would they?
I'm past tired of the racist perspective of these idiots.
They should first go home and then come in through the program we establishj once the controls are in place. Otherwise, we will be burdening an already broken system with more influx and more paperwork.
Jeff, your dreams will never happen. Why? Because we are asking many people who have criminal records to register. As soon as they put their fingerprints in the sytem they would be arrested or the other option refused permission to enter the US.
Many of the wetbacks who have been here for uears are still living under the table because of this type of problems.
I can imagine an immigration questionaire asking "How many other people live in your home? What are their names?" That right there is enough to tell the illegals that they are being closely examined. They cannot tolerate that close of an examination without past arrests and current warrants coming to the surface.

The man does not have a clue. We were a welcoming society for European immigrants, who shared certain common values with the original American stocks, when we had an open frontier and large uncrowded areas, even in the most settled States. Now it comes down to whether this fully peopled sub-continent is going to remain the homeland of the heirs of those who built it up, or be deluged with anyone who can get across the border, seeking to capitalize on what Americans have built.
As for those jobs we do not want to do? Isn't it time we redeveloped the mettle to take care of ourselves--to meet our own needs? What sort of an American future can we expect if we become increasingly dependent upon other peoples for basic chores?
We need men in office who identify with the interests of Americans, not those who seek to be all things to humanity at large.
I'm not sure it's the whole issue. We truly are an Anglo-Saxon culture. Nobody knows what it means for us to overwhelm our base culture with Asian, African, Mideastern, and Latin immigration. I think looking around at what we see all over this country, we have had enough immigration to last quite a while, especially from this particular ethnic group.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but it's time to speak up about this before things go any further.
Understand what you are saying, but I see this as an ECONOMIC issue that has all but destroyed a decent living American wage for many industries. It is what I call the slave labor class of the 21st Century. They live outside the law and have little recourse for what their employers do to them.
Yes, there are a lot of downsides to what the elites are doing with this issue right now, but mostly none for them.
I think our best bet for getting something done is at the local level. If we could get 37 states to pass a law that stated that local officials would arrest illegals and the federal government had 5 days to collect them and move them out of the state or the state would begin charging $1,000 per day per illegal to the federal government, perhaps something would be done.
Well said, Mr. Ohioan.
But that is exactly the kind of scrutiny we MUST give them...and the sooner the better. If they will not willingly come in...then we have to have the will to do what it takes to find them and route them out.
The states must do this...the counties within states must do the same to the state level.
Here's an excerpt I included:

Concern high over immigration The Washington Times | March 28, 2006 | Jennifer Harper
A sampling of polls reveals that most Americans are concerned about the financial impact of illegal immigration and fret over porous borders, lax enforcement and easygoing policies that could reward or encourage lawbreakers.
The concern cuts across demographics. A Quinnipiac University Polling Institute survey of 1,892 registered voters released March 3 found that 88 percent think illegal immigration is a serious problem; 83 percent of respondents identified as children or grandchildren of immigrants agreed. The margin of error was two percentage points.
In addition, 62 percent opposed measures that would make it easier for illegals to become citizens; 56 percent of the immigrant descendants agreed. Seventy-two percent did not favor allowing illegals to get driver's licenses; 66 percent of the immigrant descendants agreed.
