Narby, like other "conservatives" of your ilk, your ideas are not just wrong, they are dangerous.

Not "dangerous". Just realistic. These folks aren't going anywhere, and note how just a bill in congress has fired them up. If we mobilized the 101st airborne to try and round them all up (and it would take a very large chunk of military to do the job), they'd burn down a large piece of the country by tomorrow morning.

There is talk about the "Arab Street". That's nothing compared to the "Chicano Street".

I figured it out that we've lost the battle with keeping immigration quotas 15 years ago when I personally flew an airplane over the Cinco de meyo (sp?) party in Downtown LA. The pictures of the half million in downtown LA the other day was nothing to the party these people hold there every year. It makes new years eve in Times Square look like a picnick.

We lost the battle with where these people live a long time ago. The only realistic thing we can do now is try hard to make them Americans. And threats that will put their back against the wall are the exact wrong thing to do to make them *want* to be americans.

Cinco De Mayo is probably celebrated by as many non Mexicans in the U.S. as Mexican illegals. It's an excuse to drink and party just as is St. Patrick's Day. As for allowing this fiasco to continue and saying we can do nothing but grin and bear it I say bull! If we seriously apply all the options at our disposal such as reporting illegals and those who employ them, boycotting those business's that are run by or employ illegals and letting the public know who they are. Working to cut off access to entitlement programs which are being sucked dry by these vampires and insisting on payment up front when they use our emergency rooms for anything other than true emergencies. They should also be required to pay for real emergency service just as American citizens are (I know- good luck collecting). If we do these things, the lure of coming here illegally and the reasons to stay will cease to exist for the most part. The need to transport 10 or 11 million people out of the country all at once is a fallacy, take away health care, welfare and jobs and a good many illegals will leave on their own. This problem was not created overnight and it will not be solved that way either but it will not be solved at all if we just continue to only rely on lawmakers who sit back, make excuses and do nothing and try to convince us it's for our own good. By doing the things we can and going after the politicians HARD we can beat this problem.
