The Federal Johnny Come Latelys at last decided to act. The hour is late. Can our country still be saved? Only if they really mean it and its not like they have cared what the American people want done on illegal immigration.

"More importantly, their children do not speak English -- one University of Southern California study showed that 94 percent of LAUSD students learned English as a second language. It is no wonder that California perennially ranks among the worst states in terms of educational achievement. Speaking the vernacular is a vital element in identification with America."

Has there been any other group in the history of the U.S. that has come to the U.S. without its children learning to speak, read and write English quickly and well and as a matter of pride and priority?

Who encouraged millions of people to resist and reject English? Progressives? Surely the Mexican immigrants didn't really think it would be a good idea to remain an underclass that didn't speak the language! People have come just as poor and just as illerate, but the opportunities afforded them boosted them forward.

The ball is rolling.

The best thing that could happen is if business that hire illegals are heavily fined and criminally investigated for tax evasion.

Once the illegals can't get work, they'll go home. No cost to the tax payer and an end to the black market labor.

It is no wonder that American flags were burned as protestors chanted in Spanish during the recent Los Angeles rallies.

Guess those pictures were hidden by the MSM. Now this information needs to get out to the public so they can decide if they really want illegals here. (And vote out Senators accordingly)

---knowingly hiring more than 10 illegal immigrants would be punishable by no more than five years in prison, and/or a fine---

But you may have in possession one illegal nannie, one illegal gardener, one illegal maid, and no more than 2 illegal butt-boys, providing you have a current government permit with tax stamp and live in a gated community.

Slimeball politicians. Close the border first. Until then, nothing else matters.

I posted something similar to this on another thread, but I think some form of this needs consideration,

The times they are a changing...and so should the laws of citizenship for immigrants.

Learning to speak our language should be a priority, making it easier for them to interact with people of other cultures and not stay isolated in a new country. Also, when they swear allegiance to the United States of America, it should be understood that if at anytime they have a change of heart and choose allegiance to any other nation's flag over ours, they need to pack their bags. Citizenship ends at that point. Disagreement is one thing, but what I viewed over the week-end of their signs and the burning of American flags, whether they were immigrants or criminals made my blood boil, as it did with others who viewed it. NO MORE! IT's time to change the playing field.

Right now the Republicans are in a lose/lose situation on this issue and are likely to lose support (from their current base) in the upcoming elections no matter what they do. This issue needs to be narrowed to one of securing the border first which would place the Democrats into a defensive mode of defending National security and allow them to also partake of this lose/lose scenario.

"knowingly hiring more than 10 illegal immigrants would be punishable by no more than five years in prison, and/or a fine"

Why 10? Why not 1? Do they want to leave a loophole for illegal aliens to do their housework and be their children's nannies?

On March 26, hundreds of thousands of people flooded onto Los Angeles' streets to protest a bill currently passing through Congress. The House version of the bill strengthens legal consequences for those associated with illegal immigration: Knowingly assisting, encouraging, directing or inducing illegal immigrants to cross the border would be punishable by no less than three and no more than 20 years in prison, and/or a fine; knowingly hiring more than 10 illegal immigrants would be punishable by no more than five years in prison, and/or a fine; illegal immigration would be a felony; new border patrol agents would be trained; funding would be provided to construct a fence along one-third of the U.S./Mexico border.....

Only now, several decades too late, has Congress decided to act.

But better late than never. The stated purpose of the controversial bill is to curb terrorism. September 11 surely awakened us to the dangers of nonexistent border control....

Congress Is Finally In The Ball Game On Immigration

These machinations are really only more of the same: Congress legislates, INS ignores. This is political pandering at its most cynical. These machinations are de facto nothings.

The GOP must not allow itself to be torn apart by de facto nothings.
The Right must not cede the hispanic vote to the Left.
The Right must not cede the hispanic vote to hillary clinton.

I now have a fairly good inkling as to how many illegal immigrants are located in the west. These people should have all been rounded up and their identities checked. Along with their photos and addresses.
If found to be illegally here picked up and deported back to their homes in Mexico or where ever.
What these illegal immigrants forget is that they are here ILLEGALLY. That is a felony.
I abhor any Congressman or Senator that attempts to give these people any form of Amnesty. The majority of Americans immigrated to America legally. Our forefathers learned to speak English and became productive citizens. Those that did not became criminals and were either deported or put in jail. I am not proposing anything different than that.
Build the wall. Use convict labor from each state. Then use the National Guard to enforce the border crossings with the Border Patrol.
This will reduce the illegal traffic of aliens and drugs. Sure it is going to cost each American but it will be far cheaper in the end than what we face in the future if this is not turned around.
If any political hack thinks that amnesty will favor his/her reelection, I've got news for you. They will lose.
