OMG I can’t tell you how much I hate that. I’d rather not do business with any company that starts out their calls that way. I’m also sick of seeing billboards in spanish only. You just want to scream “This is America FGS”

“14.The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States .”

I think the untold truth is that many of these criminals have been arrested and are released back on the streets for the simple reason of its too costly to attempt to prosecute them in a foreign language. I fully believe they are being released on a daily basis for this reason. The illegal crime rate is being grossly underreported.

" Voters: Illegal immigration is killing the economy"

Pretty soon Obama is going to twist that economy-killing knife by placing 30 million illegals and bums onto taxpayer funded healthcare plans.

Not too long ago I personally witnessed your assertion. I sat in a court room with a family member who was being charged with a traffic violation. This Massachusetts Judge was a woman, and this woman sat on her bench and released illegal alien after illegal alien after illegal alien. I sat there and watched in disbelief. They all requested a translator. Driving with no license, insurance or registration? No problem; just pay a $50.00 fee and go on your way. No money? No problem, you have one year to pay the fine. The judge actually smiled at these people as she dealt with their cases one at a time, seemingly letting them know they are safe with her. And I will tell you that these people showed no fear whatsoever; they all knew they'd walk. And each and every one of them did walk.

Then two young men came in from the prisoner's dock, charged with breaking into a man's home and assaulting him with a knife, and possessing an illegal hand gun. Both men were illegal aliens who needed a translator. The judge let them go, no bail, no nothin', just go with a promise to come back at a future date for disposition of the charges. All day long I saw this. They came and they went, unpunished by this judge and unafraid to be there.

By observation one might conclude the Slave Party solution is to allow illegal immigrants to kill the voters.

Americans have been expressing similar sentiments in polls for years, but they’ve never translated those views to the ballot box. If we escape amnesty until November, American voters all over the US had better vote their beliefs on illegal immigration and vote against the perennial amnesty supporters. We won’t continue dodging the amnesty bullet if we continue to let those amnesty pushers off the hook on election day.

And Juan McCain and Arizona is a great place to start eliminating the amnesty pushers.

"Jobs Americans won't do." "They need a path to citizenship."

How's that workin' for you all now?

If nothing else, it puts a great strain on our legal system by having millions more people than we’ve allotted for in expenses.

"Do you have a prtoposal for how to get bums off the public dole?"

I do regarding health care.

No illegal aliens should be allowed to posess a health plan coverage paid for by US taxpayers. They may use the ER, but only after American citizens with serious afflictions are treated first. There should be two waiting rooms in the ER, one for citizens and one for illegals who are here to scam the system. The illegal alien waiting room should be manned by a State Trooper who will take their fingerprints and check their records while they are being treated. If they have any criminal background then they should be treated, arrested and deported. One of the purposes for the fingerprints would be to ensure they won't continue to use the ER as their personal health care system. They should be allowed no more than two visits per person. If they show up for a 3rd visit they should be treated and when adequately recovered they get deported.

This would not only stop the improper use of the ERs, but it would save billions of dollars in medical costs. It would also stop many new illegals from entering our country. THAT, along with stopping all other tax payer funded welfare programs for those who come here illegally, would be a huge help.

Next there must be tort reform. No more multi-million dollar law suits for "pain and suffering". Also, give the judges the power to toss out frivelous law suits such as people claiming permanent physical or mental suffering due to spilling hot coffee on their laps. In short, the dumping of liberalism and the return of common sense will cure many of our economic, criminal, and cultural problems.

Think of how many jobs could be created if the government sent a few hundred thousand people down to our southern border to build that fence they promised us.
Now THIS would be a good use of OUR stimulus money!

And if they saw these numbers it might be closer to 100%

I think that is why Farack Chamois didn't do better yesterday.

Los Angeles is now pretty much Mexico. One of the reasons I moved to Arizona 3 1/2 years ago.
