The United States somehow has managed to absorb 10 million to 20 million illegal immigrants not only without turning into Animal Farm, but while cranking up the most impressive economic recovery in two decades and the most prolonged period of declining crime in a century all in the teeth of the post-9/11 recession, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the double-whammy hurricane season of 2005.
I think that there is some sort of mystical significance to the story of Chicken Little having been made into a movie during this period of time in our history.

Hmmm Name calling right in the title. Guess I better rethink and agree. I wouldn't want to be inferior to such greatness.

WTH? How in the heck does one figure that?

Get ready for the usual hyperbolic anti-immigrant knee jerkers.
They believe that only statistics that support the anti-immigrant side should be posted. No rational debate should be allowed.

When someone's very first act in the USA is breaking one of our laws then they are not someone I want in my country. You can go off on all the apologistic rants you want and you can call me a racist all day long, but illegal immigrants, ALL OF THEM, are CRIMINALS and it is CRIMINAL to let them stay here. After last week's protests with all the Mexican flags flying it is not a misnomer to say that we are being invaded. If these CRIMINALS were so hot to be Americans then where was the sea of US flags? NO, it was a sea of red flags and Mexican flags. Hell, we're not just being invaded, we're being COLONIZED.

Economist Larry Kudlow praises Hispanic entrepreneurship: "According to 2002 Census Bureau data, Hispanics are opening businesses at a rate three times faster than the national average. In addition, there were almost 1.6 million Hispanic-owned businesses generating $222 billion in revenue in 2002." Always muddling hispanics and illegal aliens.

10 percent send kids to public schools.My grandkids attend a grade school in Washington, where HALF the children speak Spanish. The extra costs of providing a bi-lingual education are not offset by immigrant tax payments.

On the Tony Snow Show thread yesterday, Travis McGee made a good point about Tony belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations who promote the "North American Community". I enjoy Tony's show, but when it comes to topics such as immigration, I am a bit skeptical of anyone involved in that sort of group.

The entire article is subject to question as they refer to these invaders as "immigrants".
These are invaders and criminals, NOT immigrants.
How on earth can you compute the size of the underground market? How can you determine how many people are working and not paying taxes and social security?
In addition, these criminal invaders frequently work for low-wage exploiters who provide no medical coverage.
OUR insurance premiums cover THEIR inability to provide for their own medical coverage.
This entire subject isn't about immigration. I support immigration and immigrants. The overwhelming number of us either are immigrants or descendants of immigrants.
Its about illegal invaders, criminal border jumpers, and those criminals in our society who conspire to aid and exploit them.
Referring the position I and most Americans take on this subject as "Know-Nothingism" is a base canard and typical of liberal double-speak.

To: Luis Gonzalez
Since no one really knows how many illegals are here, or how many total illegal workers there are that pay taxes or don't, there is no way his numbers could possibly be accurate. The author's numbers must be made up, or his best guess- not a good way at arriving at a meaningful number. I'm calling BS on this.
I would also like to say, illegals who are paying Federal, State and FICA must be using false documents or committing identity theft, both serious crimes that need to be addressed.
Many illegals that claim to pay taxes are referring to sales tax on products they buy here. I don't consider that to mean "paying taxes" in the usual sense of the phrase.

To: Luis Gonzalez; Dead Corpse; Stellar Dendrite; Travis McGee
Before someone razes Lady Liberty and decides to erect a wall to "protect" America from the world, shouldn't we at least spend a little time trying to get our facts straight? Here's another thing. People on Tony's side claim that they are interested in securing the borders as well as establishing a guest worker program. I've suspected the talk of securing the border was not truly a goal of theirs and that they were paying conservativers lip service in order to enact their worker program. Comments like this reinforce those beliefs.
