My sister is LAPD in South Central, so I think I know what is out there - I completely agree that criminals / those who don't want to be citizens should be imprisoned / deported - does that make you happy?
Criminals are those who also break federal laws, like immigration laws.
Let's see them actually abandon their native Spanish for English. If they really wanted to (and if all immigrants really wanted to be U.S. citizens) we wouldn't need forms in their native languages.
All of you are complaining here. Don't you realize that all the protest marches that the illegal immigrants and their supporters did the last couple of weeks has spoke volumes. First, there were no counter anti-illegal immigrant marches. You mistakently thought calling, writing and emailing your senators would be enough. It isn't. Remember America is watching. When they don't see Americans marching against illegal immigration, a lot of people think that it's not that big a problem for most Americans. We need to start marching and I mean NOW. A visual memory of millions of Americans marching against illegal immigration speaks volumes both visually and figuratively. If you want illegal immigration to stop, if you want border security and you want no amnesty, call your friends, family and anyone you know that feels as you do and get those protests out there on the street. Let yourself be seen as well as heard. You have got to move fast.
