Please add: #5 - And, by the way, "Anchor Babies" have been abolished.

The whole "prices will go way up" argument is bogus anyway.

You give a lettuce picker a $5/hr raise above what he's currently paid. He picks 200 heads of lettuce an hour. We're really worried about lettuce costing another 2.5 CENTS per head ?

Studies repeatedly show the overall price increase at less than 1% if all illegal workers were replaced with legal workers. Check www.cis.org to see the price increase argument is BS.

There's always been an abundance of illegal immigrants in this Country.

Illegal Immigrant Pleads Guilty To Deceiving Cessna

Wed, 23 Aug '06
Had Accused Company Of Using Status Against Him

He once went to the media with his case to receive medical treatment for injuries he says he suffered on the job at Cessna in Wichita. Now... Rogelio Ortega-Guzman has pleaded guilty to charges of fraud in making his claim for Worker's Compensation.

Back in May, Guzman told reporters that Cessna was using his illegal immigrant status like a sword of Damacles -- if he filed for workman's comp, the company would out him to Immigrations and Customs.

He did... and, as Aero-News reported, was arrested the next day, along with four other suspected illegals.

In court this week, Guzman pled guilty to three counts related to his job at Cessna -- fradulently obtaining a Social Security Card and resident alien card, filing a worker's comp claim with a false Social Security number, and deceiving Cessna by using that number. The Associated Press says he'll be sentenced in November.

Rogelio's wife, Maria Leticia Ortega, also faces immigration charges.

mkjessup, you and the likes of the Tancredo's and Hayworth's have got my support!
"gub"...Thanks for the pings, they are appreciated!
The whole BS argument of "doing jobs Americans won't do" is getting tiresome. They're doing the jobs for the pay that Americans won't do them for. I've read that the costs of this illegal-underground workforce far outweigh the benefits and the cost is getting higher.
The reports coming out this week of Spanish speaking OTM's coming over the border should be the latest Wake-The-F-Up America alarm!

Glen Beck said tonight that he wants to choke businesses basically becuase of the people they hire.

He sounded hillaryish with the venom coming out about basically people who are farmers or own evil janitorial services.

Yes, but you're a troll. The Willie Green of illegal immigration, except you're in favor of it.

Cheers!

There are plenty out there, but IMO, some like you and Shermy only want the "correct" type of people to fill them

You're the one who says that white people wouldn't want their children doing janitorial work and therefore Mexicans should do it.

"Civility in public debate remains dead and buried."

When it comes to jackass politicians who's only goal is to get elected and not enforce our laws.

It SHOULD be dead and buried.

Good bloody question.

Here is what I am pointing out...This is our country. We the citizens of the United States elect representatives that make laws governing, among other things, the immigration policy of our Naqtion. As a citizen, I am outraged about our country's immigration laws. I am infuriated that our own government will not enforce those laws. I am further infuriated that politicians and other citizens criticize those of us that demand our borders and country be respected and our laws obeyed. Then, we have others that think I should shut up because I sit behind a desk. Well, in order to get this "desk" I sit behind, I came up through the enlisted ranks in the USN, studied for 18 hours a day 6 days a week and 4-8 hours on the 7th day for what seemed like forever only then was I allowed to serve on nuclear submarines. When my enlistment was over I went into commercial nuclear energy starting at the bottom. I worked hard, got an NRC license, and continued to grow and make a success of myself. So...I think I have d@mn sure earned the right to have an opinion about issues facing this country without getting permission from you or anyone else to express those opinions. And frankly, I don't care what you say, write or think about me, I am tough enough to take it. Other's aren't that hard shelled. Picking on them to grind your ax isn't nice. Good night sir.

Every pro-amnesty politician in local, state and federal government should be voted out ASAP. They're traitors.

It's too late here in California, the most invaded state in the USA. Here they crave and get on their knees for the "hispanic vote", whether it's legal or illegal.
