Of course it's evil. Any time a human sells or traffics in human flesh of any kind, it's despicably evil. Like the Mexicans;Hispanics that die in the Arizona desert, Chinese are packed into containers for weeks and weeks, and many also don't survive the voyage.

What is worse is that someday they will make the American Govt pay them reparations for allowing this to happen.

Other then opening and making a physical inspection on each container, I don't know how they would check for human life. I believe, any testing being done, or planned to be done, is expressly for radio active materials only.

Sitting amid three-foot-high mounds of raw garbage were 15 Chinese men. They

WhyTF were they bringing in containers loaded with raw garbage?

Anytime 3000 illegal aliens are allowed daily to sneak across our borders, this country is not secure.

The airports were very important, but so are, our Northern and Southern borders. The way containers are loaded onto merchant vessels, to be properly effective, they would have to be inspected, and sealed prior to being loaded.

Within a reasonable amount of time after 9-11, all should have been locked down tight. That never happened, and is still to loose, and not controlled.

I can't see any legal issues for reparations.

What's at stake though, is the claim of "today we march, and tomorrow we vote." The recent protest organizers tried to sell Hispanic illegals that they can register and have the legal right to vote. I'm going to put my flame proof suit on again, because years ago I used to be against national ID cards. Not anymore, I'm now for them 100%,

Once they get here they will partake in the great American pastime of suing anyone who 'offends or has offended' them.
They are already voting, sad to say.

Wonder what else is getting through.

What else... who else... where else... where who & what are.

This is just mind boggling.

That's why a national ID card is of utmost importance. I can't think of another way to solve the illegal immigration, or voting problem. They keep track of us legals paying taxes, so, they can do the same with illegals!!!

"This is just mind boggling."

Not just mind boggling, but unforgivable.

There is a massive racket over here in Southeast Asia for smuggling illegals into the country.

I wrote about it in depth before.

CHINESE call the United States the Golden Mountain. Most Chinese smuggled into America come from rural villages in Fujian Province on the country's southeast coast, across the Formosa Strait from Taiwan.

They seem to see us about the same way poor Mexicans do but apparently the mythos of "America" hasn't spread too far in their 3billion+ country. Yet.

With personal communications and world-wide connectivity constantly expanding that could change at anytime. How do you say "amnestia" in Mandarin? Or Cantonese for that matter?
Mongolian?

All the more reason to secure the southern border.All the more reason for Senate to stop playing games with this country's security.

At least the Chinese illegals don't carry the political freight that the Mexicans do. They are not trying to annex a portion of the US for the home country and don't have a government using them politically against the US. They are not trying to supplant English with their own language. Washington doesn't fear a revolution in their home country if the smuggling is stopped. That said, such immigration should not be winked at or tolerated but the proper focus is, indeed, on the southern border.

Maybe some of your side's paranoia about the Mexican government knowing PUBLIC information about U.S. citizens is rubbing off on me ; )

Of course you are right - Mexico is a much larger threat to the U.S. than China with nuclear weapons and a billion people. /sarc

"Did you know the Chinese are REFUSING to take back their illegals?"

Great way to remove dissent from your country. Mexico will do the same if we attempt any type of mass repatriation of illegals.

The only way we'll be able to do that is via military action in Mexico.
