Quote of the Day by KeyWest

[A CA Guy]

We here in CA need to enact prop 187. We ran the turkey Simon, so a hated govenor got re-elected and for another 4 years 187 goes undefended in court and therefore, illegals get to collect lots of free goodies including their children getting free educations at over $6,000 each child.

So for a family with 4 children we throw away $24,000 a year alone.

10,000 a day? Of the millions, how many are children collecting $6000 or more a year in education?

If 187 was enacted in CA we would be back in the black quick and illegals would go home with their hands in thier own pockets instead of ours.

But now it should be clear to every American that insane policies like this threaten our very existence as an independent, sovereign, self-governing nation.

This has been true for decades, and extremely frustrating that we never fixed it.

We're in a war now, but the threat we face is internal more than external.

Yes we're in a war now. The war has been going on since the '70s, at least that's when they declared war and earnestly began killing Americans wherever they could. I don't believe the threat internally has changed, we're more aware and sensitive to it (some are VERY sensitive to it). To believe the threat is more internal than external, no. For three decades terrorists experts have been warning that it was only a matter of time, and the last 10 years we've been living on borrowed time.

How we handle our new realization will speak to our courage as a nation.

Some 10,000 illegal aliens cross our border with Mexico every day.

Where are people getting this number? My station alone apprehends an average of at least 100 people every day. Prior to 9/11 my station was apprehending well over 100,000 illegals a year. My station is one of at least 70 on the border. This does not include substations or the ports of entries. During our busiest times of they year the Border Patrol probably comes pretty close to apprehending 10,000 every day. I think the number of people crossing is far higher than 10K. In 1996 when I worked with the US Border Patrol as a US Marine under JTF-6, the Border Patrol estimated that 70,000 crossed every day. It seems like a rediculous number until you realize that it's only 35 people per mile.

<[>If we are going to save America, it's time to get serious with our borders and immigration policies. If we're going to preserve our way of life, it's time to get serious with our borders and immigration policies. If we're going to take America back, the place to start is with our borders and immigration policies.

I can only hope that the proper authorities are listening.

It's become quite clear since 9/11 that neither president Bush nor most of those in Congress have any intention of securing our borders. They have their agenda and this does not include the safety of American citizens nor the sovereignty of the United States.

[Willie Green]

Well God Bless Joseph Farah.
But you know that he's gonna be the next conservative that the border eradicators start to bash.

We are fighting a new kind of war -- a war where the enemy soldiers are infiltrating our country and attacking from within. Yet only a few public figures, such as Bill O'Reilly, voice outrage that nothing is being done.

Even after 9/11 we still haven't secured our borders. And just when the push for securing our borders started getting more attention, what do you know? We have an uproar over Lott's trivial comment to Storm. I guess the media couldn't come up with a better diversion.

Failing to deliberately secure our borders is a far greater outrage. Also, I don't see any great effort to deport terrorists and other criminals.

America is being invaded.

It doesn't matter how it's said, or by what media source, or by male or female, young or old. It's not news. We all know it and have known it for quite sometime. It worsens yearly for those of us who care. It doesn't matter who discovered the disease when the cure is denied. America changes daily from the land of the Free and the Brave to just the land.

Political Correctness is preventing many of the members of the House from speaking out and doing what should be done about the "Invasion" of our country. Questions I want answered by our State Department as to visas go unanswered except for what they have printed on their web site. My local elected, McCain, Kyl, Kolbe, seem to be sidestepping the problem and we just elected a liberal governor who will most likely not rock the boat by closing the AZ border to illegal entries or put real teeth in existing laws.

For those of you who don't live on the border here is a very interesting web site.

What a hateful, xenophobic, intolerant and insensitive article.

Farah belongs in a Sensitivity training class.
