Now, here is the proper place for your venting........
Are you listening George W?
You can not start making illegals leave unless you “START”. People here need to start DEMANDING that they leave. No more talking and BSing us.

I find it amazing that the Nancy and the Nutroots, aka Congress, which is supposedly so in tune with implementing our wishes regarding the Iraqi War have turned a complete and utter deaf ear to our cries for a secure border and the deportation of illegals already in this country.
Borders and illegal immigration are an object lesson on how the US is NOT a nation of laws.
If we don't control our borders we are not a nation, we are just a piece of land waiting for someone to take us over.
In one ear and out the other....
Agreed!
This seems to be an extremely accurate poll, and unlike many, there are clear matters polled here.
The Wall St. Journal had similar poll results recently but from what I understand they didn't publish it. That's probably because it didn't fit into their open border agenda.

Hello out there, is anyone in power listening!!
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!!
We would all do well to remember the facts presented last night by Robert Rector of Heritage: 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country. What is the cost of amnesty? The fiscal cost of amnesty for illegal aliens in the country?
ROBERT RECTOR, HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Illegal aliens cost a lot at the present time, but if you give them amnesty, one effect is that they will all have access to Social Security, Medicare, this program called Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid when they retire, OK?
So the real impact of amnesty would be — let’s say you have 12 million people. You give them amnesty. The impact of that, the net requirement cost alone would be negative $2.5 to $3 trillion. Negative $2.5 to $3 trillion.
DOBBS: $2.5 to $3 million?
RECTOR: Yes. And that’s with 12 million. You’re taking 10 million people and putting them into Social Security. That is one of the biggest budget impacts — that is the single budget — biggest budget impact I’ve seen in a quarter of a century. It’s fantastically expensive, and it is fantastically irresponsible for Congress to be contemplating that, and they don’t have a clue in the world, they don’t care what it will cost. RECTOR: You know what? If you look at low-skill immigrants, OK, which most illegals are, in fact, in every stage of their life cycle, they take more in benefits than they pay in, in taxes.
Each — each low-skilled immigrant — and illegals are predominantly low-skilled immigrants — that comes across to the United States, if they bring a family with them, the net cost that they impose on the taxpayers, benefits received minus taxes, is over $1 million over their lifetimes. It’s fantastically expensive.

It looks like Harry the Clown may attempt to ram amnesty through without holding any hearings or going through the committee process. So it’s obvious they could care less what impact such a scheme would have on the rest of us.
