Illegals’ Rallies Alien-ate Voters (big-time backlash---Dims losing ground)

The stats indicate the animus against illegal aliens is a consensus issue that cuts across the political spectrum. Amazingly, liberals, conservatives, Pubbies and Dims, and those in between, are equally disgusted at the Mexican-flag waving illegals demanding the rest of us subsidize their every whim.

These illegal jokers are lawbreakers, and are actually demanding "rights" they are not entitled to.

Sorry, senor, ain't gonna happen.

The sooner we get these people out of our country the better.

The flyer circulated by the Democratic Party at illegals' recent rallies.

.57 percent of Americans want a barrier built along the Mexican border

Yeah duh.

[Ronin]

This is a no-brainer. I am a legal resident of Japan. I am not an immigrant, I fully expect to eventually return to the United States to live and work.

Ask me how I feel about illegal aliens in Japan, or about Americans who have no appreciation of Japanese culture of law coming to Japan and committing crimes.

Japanese immigration laws are stringent and they are not afraid to deport people who fail to follow the rules.

Of course, Japan is an island, which imposes a sharp limitation on the number of illegals that can penetrate the system -- there are some even still -- but make no mistake, they do a lot better than we do at keeping the riff-raff out.

What welcome news!

May the difference multiply many times over.

The Democratic Crime Syndicate is losing ground on all fronts.

Good people are connecting rapidly.

Am I missing something according to your logic?

The illegal invaders are already getting every right we have to offer and some rights you and I and every CITIZEN can't get.

They even have the right to shut down our ports, railroads, wall street, businesses, schools, our streets, our cities.

They DEMAND and they get, if we demand we get nothing.

We HAVE to pay taxes, they don't have to. We commit a crime we are arrested for felony, they don't.

They can sneak in and out of our country thru our swinging door policy at the border and they are REWARDED!

And what is this insanity called?? IMMIGRATION, AMNESTY, FASTTRACK to Citizenship!!

And that my friend is the unfortunate situation America finds itself in and are helpless to do anything about because we are at the mercy of our elected officials and the lobbyists, and Bill Gates!!!!!!

Politicians are just not very bright sometimes.
The fact is, on many issues the public doesn't have a problem unless it's in their face. Likewise the illegals issue wasn't a priority as long as the illegals kept it quiet. Now they are all over the news, and people who wouldn't ordinarily pay attention are sitting up and going "hey, wait a minute- that's alot of people". Also, I'm sure many people are seeing photos and video of streams of illegals trekking across the border, for the first time- and it's going to shock them.
What the Dems also aren't thinking about, is no legal immigrant in their right mind is going to be happy about millions getting a free ride to legal status.

[John 6.66=Mark of the Beast?]

If our elected representative cave to the illegal aliens and give into their demands this great nation of ours is headed for the same fate as France.

By that I mean every group that does not like what is being discussed in the halls of congress and on the senate floor will head for the streets with massive destruction not marches but destruction just like what is going on in France over the right to a life time job.

They will use mob force to intimidate the elected officials of the country to vote their way.

America bless God!

Japan is better.....at keeping the riff-raff out.

More power to them. As someone who is completely enamored of the Japanese culture, anything the Japanese do is alright with me.

[ClaireSolt]

I wonder how valild national stats are. Surely, our congressional elections will reflect state and regional variations.

[postaldave]

"voters are starting to tilt toward get-tough Republicans on immigration"

too bad we don't have any of those "get-tough" republicans left. those spineless spending whores in DC.......

better stop now, blood pressure going up.

[bmwcyle]

John McCain is an enemy of the state.

bttt

[Blue_Ridge_Mtn_Geek]

What these statistics suggest to me is that both of the "centrist" parties are not trusted by the electorate on this issue, the Democrats slightly less so than the Republicans. And for good reason, don't you think? Both party leaderships seem to be fixated on how to make the uncontrolled immigration work best for them, rather than how to enforce the laws. So what reason is there to trust either of them? Very little, it seems to me.

[Liz]

Everything you said---to here---was pure gold.

.....we are helpless to do anything about it because we are at the mercy of our elected officials and the lobbyists, and Bill Gates!!!!!!...............

We are at the mercy of these people only if we allow it.........and it looks like Americans have said, "No way, Jose."

[Liz]

What the Dems also aren't thinking about, is no legal immigrant in their right mind is going to be happy about millions getting a free ride to legal status.

Amen.

Here is a set of policies that will change this problem:
1. Seal the borders with fences & manpower as necessary
2. Seal the ports and airports against illegal entry
3. Hold all "detained" illegals until deported
4. Re incarcerate all felony convicted illegals into Federal Prisons to be deported at the end of sentence
5. Establish the means to prevent the transfer of funds not associated with international trade out of the country without approval
6. Establish the means to prevent illegals from voting
7. Punish those who employ illegals with large fines
8. No more anchor babies

Problem will go away

Liz, I truly pray daily, sometimes hourly you are correct.

[texastoo]

I wish I was as sure as you are that something positive will happen regarding this shamnesty.

Yesterday, President Bush made a speech regarding how Harry Reid stopped the vote and this lead to the "thwarting of the will of the American people". Bush is either lying or doesn't know the will of the American people.
