"We are not criminals."

Uhm, by any legal definition you really are. Until the law is changed it's still illegal to be in the country without authorization or citizenship.

"makes $380 a week at a flower nursery"

Surely there is some American who is currently unemployed but willing to take the bus into this suburb to get paid $1,520/month.

The employer would have to pay social security and maybe even provide some kind of health care. And the white customers might have to look at a black face instead of a smiling brown face.

Tough. These are small prices to pay for patriotism and the rule of law.

This employer and his customers are paying for these things anyway. Not paying social security now? Guess what some day down the road you will be asked to subsidize the retirement income of illegals -- count on it.

Not providing health care now? You are already paying the price in crowded emergency rooms and higher health care premiums.

There are a lot of interesting things in play:

1. If we have unchecked immigration, the life the immigrants are moving here to enjoy will soon be gone.

2. The number of high-paying manufacturing jobs in the U.S. is in steep decline.

3. Politicians are trying to make hay on this issue (particularly unscrupulous ones like John McCain).

4. George Bush has been out to lunch on this since the beginning.

5. While I am opposed to illegal immigration, I'd much prefer Hispanics to Muslims ... or (fill-in-the-blank) to Muslims.

6. It's interesting that liberal groups are supporting people who oppose them in many ways. For example, I doubt the ACLU likes anyone who attends mass three times a week.

The battle between Mexican Americans and illegals who think America is their land isn't going to end soon.

Manuel Aguilar feels uneasy in supermarkets and other public spaces, and he's careful not to drive over the speed limit for fear that a traffic stop could lead to his deportation.

But the 22-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico Aguilar ... speaks with anger and disbelief about the House bill that would make it a felony to be in the United States illegally.

"It's not a crime to work," said Aguilar, who has been in this country about five years. "We are not criminals."

You're here illegally, you're most likely driving without a license or insurance and you're working in violation of the law. If you're not a criminal, what are you, a victim of circumstances beyond your control?

Aguilar was moved to act by the blessings of the Roman Catholic Church and the comfort of protesting in large numbers.

... something changed last week when he attended St. Leo Mission Catholic Church in Solana Beach... It was the day after enthusiastic reports about a large Los Angeles rally, which the Catholic Church supported.

Mobs with God on their side. Always a good combination.

"We stayed quiet for a long time, but the water rose above our necks," said Arnoldo Marin, a handyman who moved to the United States from the Mexican state of Jalisco in 1986 and became a legal resident.

Amnesty for all!!

Hmmm...$350/wk. I wonder if that's take-home? Does his flower shop employer withhold taxes? If so, does Manuel file a return to claim his refund in April? No? Well, of course not...he'a afraid of a speeding ticket, for crying out loud.

So, the IRS is holding several hundred dollars' worth of withholding money for Manuel. What happens to that money at the end of the year? Well, the gub'mint spends it, that's what. Gee, who'd a thunk it, free money for the gub'mint. What a deal, huh?

Question: "What comes after pro-immigration rallies?"

Response: Higher taxes. Longer hours of work to pay for the higher taxes. An increase in crime particularly assaults. More illegals voting their own into office resulting in Mexican gouvernance. Greater corruption. An increase in communicable disease. The 'dumbing down' of our society. Increased filth in our cities.

-"It's not a crime to work," said Aguilar-

When will one of them just come out and say "It's not a crime to be here illegally"?

Response Continued: Loss of jobs for marginally skilled American citizens thus increasing poverty. Overt discrimination and insults. Increased hiring by governmental agencies of Mexicans. Courts staffed by Mexican judges who will not discriminate against their own as everyone knows blood is NOT thicker than water-(When one crosses a border all that one has previously learned is immediately shed). Spanish only spoken here!

Aguilar, who makes $380 a week at a flower nursery in the ultrawealthy San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe, speaks with anger and disbelief about the House bill that would make it a felony to be in the United States illegally.

Manuel, the illegal alien, can thank the Democrats for that amendment designed as a poison pill to kill the bill.

Manuel and others who entered this country illegally have no stake in America. Go back to Mexico and wave your flag there Manuel. American citizens wave the Stars and Stripes here.

It is my opinion that we are already in WWIV ( WWIII being the Cold War ) and there are two, somewhat interlocking elements to it:

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

( PS- my personal prediction? That picture will become one of the most widely distributed, and most hated, pictures on the internet. The Illegal lobby could not have done more damage to themselves with that "Mexican Flag Superior, America in Distress" photograph if they had tried... )

i found this littel letter in my local paper:http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/opinion/commentary/letters/article_1081998.php

it's a hoot:

Families are suffering because of the system

Everyday my husband sets off for work, I pray that nothing happens to him and that he arrives home safely.

The heated immigration debates have my nerves in knots and our hopes of living the "American Dream" quickly slipping away. I am scared for my safety and that of my family.

I am a true American. I am white, Mexican and Native American. My family has been here for generations. I am college educated, with a master's degree. My children are American. My husband, who has been here for 10 years and who came here to work, is still an illegal alien.

We have been married for many years and have done our due diligence to fix my husband's immigration status. Our petition for "status adjustment" has been approved. So what is the problem? My husband entered illegally as a minor and we are now being punished.

He cannot hold a driver's license. He cannot be insured. He cannot help me buy a home. We cannot go on family vacations out of California. Heck, we cannot even take the kids to Sea World because we might be checked at the Oceanside revision. My children and I are being held hostage here in Orange County - and why? Because I married an illegal alien.

The government is taking away my constitutional rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

I have mixed feelings about the "temporary work visas" that are being discussed by the Senate because they do not discuss the ramifications this might have on those individuals already immersed in the immigration process. We need an amnesty, not a temporary work permit. We have four children. Our livelihood depends on both of us working - working hard.

There are thousands of immigrants who have no desire to permanently settle here - they work hard, save money, send money back home to mama, and then when they are tired and have saved enough, they go. They go home to visit their wives, their mothers and their children. My husband has not seen his mother in 10 years.

I don't know if there is an answer that will suit everyone. In fact, I highly doubt it. One thing for sure is that we do need tighter border security, but we also need an avenue for legal immigration and we need help living the American dream.

So, I married an illegal alien - now what?

It's a crime to be in my country illegally, you idiot. And yes, you are a criminal.

These are foreign citiizens demanding special rights on US soil. They have no business being here and should be deported. Their next step is violence if they dont get what they want. Bush looks the other way while Rome burns.

Aguilar is an idiot. It's not about working, it's about being in a country illegally and smooching off the taxpayers. He's taking home around $1600/mo but is he paying taxes on any of it since he should not have a social security number and the flowershop owner knows he's illegal? Of course we don't have to ask if the shop owner is paying him on the books or sending in FICA and insurance.
