Mexicans are not U.S. citizens! Illegal immigrants should not be counted in the census.

The Constitution says otherwise:

"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State..." (14th Amendment, section 2) (emphasis added).

The mosques are hiding them and offering them safe havens. I don’t know of any protestant churches doing that

The only term used in federal laws for people who come in illegally, or remain illegally, is “illegal alien.” Thus the term “immigrant” is not accurate for them, when referencing federal law.

The main reasons people are denied legal entry into this country or work permits is criminal history, or attempting to use false documents. Many who cross illegally cannot get legal paperwork.

UDA for undocumented alien is a term I hear used by Border Patrol- even though the term illegal alien is in immigration laws I think in order to be politically correct they are changing the term to UDA. They don’t want to use the term illegal don’t you know~ makes it harder to promote amnesty.

Does this mean that it’ll be harder to score meth and ecoli at the local tacqueria?

Was this in North Texas, by any chance? Sounds like a rapid transit line in one the suburbs north of Dallas.

Calling someone who enters the country by sneaking in illegally an immigrant is like calling a burglar in your house a visitor.

What a steaming crock.

Wow! Illegals are leaving and blacks are taking the jobs? I thought we were supposed to have illegals streaming over the border to do the jobs Americans won’t do and provide lots of illiterate, uneducated cheap labor so we can keep the blacks on the plantation and on welfare. /major sarcasm/

This really upsets the apple cart, huh?

The best way to end the illegal problem is to severely punish people who hire these folks. This article shows the clear linkage between availability of jobs and the presence of these people. All of them won’t self deport but enough will to make the effort worth it. Sadly Bush wasn’t willing to push this and Joker won’t either.

“The best way to end the illegal problem is to severely punish people who hire these folks.”

J.D. Hayworth said it well today:

“”You know what happens when you start to enforce laws?” he said. “People start to obey them.””

“”I’m going home and coming back when it gets better.”

Ah, yes, just what we need, more ‘fair-weather friends’....get our goodies and when they run out...the aliens run out. Via Con Dios!

Every amnesty, legalization, path to whatever that has come up for discussion includes a guest worker program. Do we really need more of this??? Because they won’t leave, either...until we can’t give them what they want and they’ll go back where their allegiance is. Mexico.

Most of these Mexican are going home to visit their money. They sent home loot for years and evaded taxes. They can now live like kings in Meh-hico.

“And what is keeping those Mexicans from doing the paperwork so they can be here legally?

Can someone please answer that??? Are they stupid? Lazy? Don’t want to pay taxes? Hello?????”

Some of that, but mostly they really don’t like the USA, and think it really is theirs to do as they please.
They don’t want to be ‘on a path to citizenship’, they just want to be ‘legal’ for as long as THEY choose to get the benefits of it and come and go as they please.

Illegals are leaving. I find it insulting everytime these individuals are referred to as immigrants.

It is a slap in the face to every wonderful immigrant who has come here, followed the process to citizenship and made a contribution to our country.

Illegals, illegals, illegals..... There should be no sympathy for any individual who profited by employment or any other means from illegals.

BS!

Illegals will never go home unless they are forced to pay taxes and medical bills!

Until then they will come here to sponge off of those who already pay their way!
