This is a greater fiasco than Bush nominating his secretary for SCOTUS.

[Laptop_Ron]

I hate to do this, but I have to disagree with Dr. Sowell. We cannot just jail 12 - 20 million people. All we hear about now is jail overcrowding. Besides, why should we pay to keep them here in jail?

I’m surprised that Dr. Sowell missed the best idea. Crack down on employers. HARD. When the jobs start drying up, most of the illegals will go home on their own.

A quote from my page is appropriate:

" Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom: it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. "
--William Pitt, Speech, 'Hansard', 18 November 1873

In other words, when politicians seek to rush through a measure, and wish to avoid public scrutiny, the intent is usually a detriment to the body politic, and often works at the expense of the body politic to the self-enrichment of the politicians in support.

In a more enlightened age, tar would be getting heated in buckets, and the stockpiling of chicken feathers would make the news.

We are, after all, talking about a major and irreversible change in the American population, the American culture, and the American political balance. Why is there no time to talk about it?

Why indeed.

[goldstategop]

This is like Harriet Miers: the Senate GOP left us high and dry and the bipartisan criminal class is determined to rush it through lest public outrage stop what they're doing dead in its tracks.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Incidentally, remember that 700-mile fence that Congress authorized last year? Only two miles have been built. That should tell us something about how seriously they are going to enforce other border security provisions in the current bill.

A mere 7 months ago Bush & Co promised us 700 miles of fence, they've already broken that promise, that's how tough they are on securing the borders in this new amnesty plan.

As Thomas writes, only 2 miles have been built and the new amnesty plan calls for only building 370 miles (a number no doubt subject to change... downward) before they grant mass amnesty to 21 million illegals.

And they wonder why we don't trust them when they tell us they will secure the borders... later.

No Thanks, secure the borders first!

[AuntB]

Its advocates' argument is that illegal immigrants will have to meet certain requirements to become citizens. But amnesty is not about how you become a citizen.

No one cuts through the crappola like Dr. Sowell. Thanks!!

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

We need to turn the Rio Grande into an Alligator wildlife refuge.

[TAdams8591]

"Just as people can do many things better for themselves than the government can do those things for them, illegal aliens could begin deporting themselves if they found that their crime of coming here illegally was being punished as a serious crime, and that they themselves were no longer being treated as guests of the taxpayers when it comes to their medical care, the education of their children, and other welfare state benefits."

This is exactly right! When most of us talk about sending them back, this is how we mean to do it. Well, said by Thomas Sowell.

[Paperdoll]

The law enforcement’s hands are as tied in reporting illegal aliens as the Congress and the “rules of engagement” tie the hands of our troops in the middle East. And for the same reason - to defeat us there and to defeat our Republic here.

[Cacique]

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty

[RavenATB]

If we don’t stand up to defend our country from destruction from within, we really can’t stand for anything.

This isn’t about cheap tomatoes...it’s about our country’s survival.

[PizzaDriver]

Now, our Slumlords have 3 Times their old clientele! Yet, They want MORE.

[SE Mom]

Sowell is always terrific- though I’m surprised he neglected the solution of attrition via enforcing the laws of fining the businesses who hire illegals.

[Gideon Reader]

Now hear this:
I would love to cast my vote and write my political contributions to a ticket comprised of
Fred Thompson/Thomas Sowell.

[PGalt]

We are, after all, talking about a major and irreversible change in the American population, the American culture, and the American political balance. Why is there no time to talk about it?

No controlling legal authority when irreversible changes in the world occur?

A coup de grâce of Uncle Sam?

[freekitty]

We can deport them.

[Dante3]

If we start arresting and putting illegal aliens in prison, large numbers will decided to leave and far fewer will be encouraged to come.
