The President's proposal would solve the problem of illegal immigration by legalizing it after the fact.

The money sentence.

The sentence to understand if you want to understand the deceptive reality of the administration's agenda and rhetoric.

Do American citizens go around carrying documents with them when they work or apply for work?

Yes. I had to provide two of either Birth Certificate, Passport, SS card, Drivers License or DD 242 for the last 20 projects I was hired for.

None of the rhetoric and sophistry that we hear about immigration deals with the plain and ugly reality: Politicians are afraid of losing the Hispanic vote and businesses want cheap labor.




All you need to know......period

I'm torn on this. I am truly sympathetic to the plight of these folks. I also think that there is a place for them in this country. Most of them just want to work.

I DON’T want to be allied with those that cringe ever time they see a Hispanic. I DON’T want to spend my time searching the news for crimes committed by Hispanics and whining about each one (like a handful of Freepers).

But we have to insist that people come into this country legally. I would think that those that are here legally would want the illegals out of here…they cast a shadow over all Hispanics.

So, we need to send folks back and secure our border. Then we can talk about letting folks in legally and letting them work.

Good article. Thanks for posting. Even "gate crasher" is being charitable.

A gang of criminal home invaders breaking into my house, waving Mexican or Canadian flags, demanding anything would be called "dead". On the other hand a "undocumented workers" invading a country isn't even a felony, is it? My apologies, bad analogy. No controlling legal authority. /sarcasm

To no one in particular - just my thoughts.

After the Katrina debacle, local news media were doing pieces on the strain it had put on the social services in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. One was a plea for food items for the North Texas Food Bank. It seems that they were completely out of food for the people who were using it for their daily food allotment.

During the program, the cameraman panned those waiting in line and what I saw was not Katrina victims. What I saw was Hispanic women, with two or three small children, waiting for their daily ration. My mind exploded with the realization that I was enabling these people to violate the laws of my country. When their children become school age, I would be required to pay even higher taxes on my home to provide an education for them.

Meanwhile, what has been proposed by the DISD? A proposal has been floated to hire 400 illegal aliens as school teachers to teach the little Mexicans in Spanish, and to teach them about Mexico. So much for assimilation!

Vicente Fox's minister of finance states that Mexico received $22 billion in transfer funds from the invading army of illegals during 2005. I would be more in favor of Mexico simply taxing me directly and keeping their citizens at home.

Meanwhile, the demoRats see 10 million votes. Certainly enough to put them back in power long enough to criminalize free enterprise and finish the socialization of America.

Please excuse me if this post is a little bit scattered. I'm so pissed I can hardly write.

The thing that seems never to get a mention, is that the country of Mexico needs these illegals sending back money.

I heard a supporter of a "Day without Latinos" in KCKS say that if these illegals were returned to Mexico, Mexico would collapse.

"Americans will not take many jobs at their current pay levels -- and those pay levels will not rise so long as poverty-stricken immigrants are willing to take those jobs."

A fact that GWB has yet to comprehend.

The politically correct evasion is "undocumented workers."

Rush said that Jesse James was an undocumented bank withdrawer and the 9/11 terrorists were undocumented pilots.

We've come so far downhill, I don't think we can climb back up again.

If Mexican journalists were flooding into the United States and taking jobs as reporters and editors at half the pay being earned by American reporters and editors, maybe people in the media would understand why the argument about "taking jobs that Americans don't want" is such nonsense.

Good point. In fact the salient point.

Like Ghost of Philip Marlowe noted if there were no criminal invaders to do jobs at below living wage wages, the wages would have to rise to survival level and the Citizens would then do the jobs.

Some make the point that sending back the illegals would ruin the economy because jobs would not be done.

I think if the 22 Billion $'s the illegals sent back to Mexico last year had stayed here that would help the economy.

Can you believe this comparison of Mexican and U.S. immigration laws?

Talk about a racist legal system...

It's worse than gate crashing. It's national theft. Aided and abetted by our highest elected officials.

Once again Thomas Sowell has the ability to bring clarity to a big issue.

PING!

They're illegal aliens and that is that. They should go home, whether they're Mexicans or Irish.

Just think--as soon as we get these 11 million assimilated--the liberals will be pushing for a new phase of 'affirmative action' to ensure that Hispanics are PROPERLY represented EVERYWHERE based on their bigger numbers!!!

(no quotas, though, of course--rolling eyes)

Yeah, but it's not a "blanket amnesty", nor is it an "automatic path to citizenship", so just shut up and stop bashing the President.
