Barely a year ago, illegal immigration was Topic A on America's agenda. It turned CNN's Lou Dobbs into a household name. This newspaper, recognizing the issue's importance, selected the illegal immigrant as our Texan of the Year – not because we approved of illegal immigration but because of the huge political and social impact the phenomenon was having on our state.
Boy, did we touch a nerve.
So imagine our outrage that neither Republicans nor Democrats addressed it substantively during their recent national conventions. It was as if Barack Obama and John McCain regarded the entire topic as radioactive. When it comes to answers, the two men running for president either have no new ideas or are too afraid to venture forth with them publicly.
American voters must not allow a leadership vacuum to persist on a problem of this magnitude.
Mr. McCain, trying hard not to offend his conservative base, says he would not vote for the comprehensive immigration reform bill that he himself introduced in the Senate. Mr. Obama has committed only to deal with illegal immigration sometime before the end of his first term. Instead of debating solutions before the voting public, they are punting this as far down the road – and away from the elections – as they can.
Frustrated state and local governments feel they have no choice but to take unilateral action. The city of Farmers Branch on Saturday plans to begin enforcing a new law requiring apartment or house renters to obtain a $5 license that will enable the city to verify their legal U.S. residency. Irving's Police Department continues to participate in the federal Criminal Alien Program.

I just wrote to McCain’s campaign site to let him know about this story:
This guy had mutliple aliases and 16 priors and was still out driving around:
ICE holds driver in crash (Aurora hit-run killed 2 women in pickup, 3-year-old in ice cream shop)

“Editorial: Obama, McCain avoid immigration reform”
That’s because they agree on the issue.
elect the Republican, then fight him like hell on the issue and hope that it’s not too long before Sara takes over....I feel that she is someone that actually LISTENS to the people that she serves.
Why would Sen. McCain care?
I do not trust John McCian when it comes to illegals and his b.s. amnesty deal.
It didn’t work on Pres. Bush. It won’t work on Sen. McCain.
I said on the thread I linked he probably doesn’t give a flying flip, but I sent it anyway. Local radio guy Boyles is talking about filing suit. I hope he’s not just talking. The SUV the illegal was driving had just been purchased—same SUV he had used in some other recent crime on July 18. I hope the families sue the dealership and the local governments that were involved in this.

“It didn’t work on Pres. Bush. It won’t work on Sen. McCain.”
It didn’t? So Harriet Meiers is on the USSC and Dubai owns our ports and there was a massive illegal alien amnesty pushed through? Because that’s not how I remember it.

The government sponsored illegal invasion and the economy still is. Of course the party groupies avoid these issues like the plague.
“I’m not in the habit of breaking promises to my country and neither is Governor Palin. And when we tell you we’re going to change Washington, and stop leaving our country’s problems for some unluckier generation to fix, you can count on it.” John McCain 9/4/2008

Can it get any worse than Obama’s shameful pimping of illegal aliens??
Obama’s speech to La Raza:
(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )
Obama pimps illegal aliens. Shameful, considering the additional violent crime, third word diseases they bring into this country and the billions of dollars it cost us to take care of them.

“I walked the walk. I talked the talk. I marched with you for “civil rights” of “immigrants”. (!!)
SHAMEFUL!
Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t seen since the struggle for civil rights.”
SHAMEFUL!
Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!
SHAMEFUL!
Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.
SHAMEFUL!

The Heritage Foundation ^ | 10/25/06 | Robert Rector
The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant’s children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize. In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes
Barack Hussein Obama is the closest Democrats can come to electing a foreign Muslim President of the United States without actually violating the constitutional requirement that American Presidents be native-born.
THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING:

How many times can you be lied to until you figure out you’ve been had?
“It didn’t work on Pres. Bush. It won’t work on Sen. McCain.:”
Oh yeah, “See you at the bill signing.”
When is that taking place?

I’m reading Lou Dobb’s `Independents Day’. There’s quite a bit I disagree with him on, but he has both parties figured out on this issue.
Neither party is concerned about the best interests of the American public, but instead are beholden to special interest groups.
Lol. I guess the border is finally secured in a time of War.
