A guest-worker program might be in orderA guest worker program that precludes familes and children.
It's the cost to provide public services to the children (and the anchor babies) that is bankrupting California.

Yes it is..but try to get FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,MSNBC,NPR or the DNC/GOP to ever admit to it

True. But we should at least force Republican candidates to tell us where they stand on the issue. And don't give us that phony BS Prop. 187 is racist. The truth is 60% of the electorate in LIBERAL California voted for it. People are concerned about what illegal immigration is doing to our country even if the politicians still don't get it. Right now people in Arizona are bringing it to public notice over the opposition of a cowardly GOP establishment afraid of rocking the boat. If nothing else its an issue that needs debate.

We need to change the citizenship law to reduce the incentive for this behavior. Being born on US territory to foreign parents should NOT make one a US citizen. Either you have a US citizen parent, or you go through naturalization... this give-birth-on-US-territory routine is getting old already!

I sent a letter detailing EXACTLY this information about an illegal alien I knew about:
-
His home address and phone numberBusiness and location of business he worked at, including phone number AND THE PERSON WHO HIRED HIMOther personal details about the illegal alien, including his plan to marry a green card holder specifically to get legal
I faxed the information to US Border Patrol, the office that is in the EXACT SAME TOWN the illegal alien resides.
Two weeks later, I faxed this same information to Tancredo's office after Border Patrol did NOTHING.
To my knowledge, NOTHING has happened. It is more than 1 month since the first fax to Border Patrol.

Bill O'Reilly has brought this topic up on his show several times.

Tancredo is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He can introduce legislation, gather sufficient support for the bill and the appropriation amount, recruit an allied sponsor in the Senate, send the bill up the chamber for vote and passage and get it to the President's desk. A bill that addresses the defecits in our current border patrol and immigration law, and provides the directives, regulations and funding to implement a solution.
So ... what specifically has Tancredo done as a legislator during this two year period sounding the alarm during his countless appearances on radio and TV?
To: VU4G10
" He has visited California on several occasions with the hope of forcing illegal immigration to a top-level issue in the 2004 presidential race. One vehicle, he said, might be a referendum in the nation's most populous state that would limit access to any government services to citizens or legal residents only."
Hello? We tried that? It was called Prop. 187, and some rotten vermin of a federal judge overturned it because it was "unconstutional". I can't even think about it for too long or my head will explode.

Well, . . . .
A DAMN sight more than either you or I, if I may so suggest.

Tancredo talks a good deal, but he's still a polititian.
He's probably just doing an Arafat.

It was called Prop. 187, and some rotten vermin of a federal judge overturned it because it was "unconstutional". I can't even think about it for too long or my head will explode. So ... why wasn't that finding appealed? Who is responsible for representing the voters of California? Bill Lockyear? Why hasn't he appealed the case? Why haven't y'all organized and crawled up his ass until he does his duty as a Constitutional Officer and Officer of the Court? Why did it just stop there?
So, some LA judge put a stay on the regulation. That happens. That's why there are courts of appeal, how did millions of Californians sit back while their legally presented, legitimately approved public will be thwarted by one unaccountable jurist?
I've never understood why these mandates, approved by millions of Californians, are allowed to be nullified by the fiat of a single judge.
What am I missing?
To: BenR2
Getting booked on Scarborough and doing Regan, Rusty Humphries and Jason Lewis appearances?
That's not work, that's not HIS duty.
Again, what specific legislation has Tom Tancredo introduced to address this crisis he shouts to the masses on radio and cable gigs?
I don't give a crap about his insights if he's not willing or able to shepherd corrective legislation.
Again, what has he done as a $150,000 per year Congressman to address this issue?

Either we get this under control What action plan do you recommend to get this under control?
Tancredo wants 20,000 Border Guards on the Mexican border. At $50,000 per, that's $1 billion in salaries and benefits. Add $10,000 more for training, that's another $200 million, they're going to need vehicles, comunications infrastructure, processing stations and holding cells to be build all along the border.
So, is Tancredo crafting a bill authorizing this major deployment? Has he determined an adequate funding appropriation number? Has he lobbied DeLay, Hastert or the relevant Appropriation chairman to get a hearing, a markup, a place in the docket? Does he have 218 votes for this proposal, at this $billion investment?
Nah, he just thought he'd throw it out as a good idea that George W. Bush should, but won't, implement. Even though it's HIS job to write bills with appropriate funding with the language and details that 218 of his colleagues would vote approval for.
That's hard work. That takes salesmanship, compromise, building consensus, making tradeoffs and fighting for money. Tom's got the Boortz show, Buchanan and Press and Larry Elder gigs to focus on. It's about Tom Tancredo's earnest concern. It's about Tom Tancredo.

How nice to hear from a conservative!!!!!!
With one position he's declared himself for REAL Homeland Security, the American economy, and LEGAL immigration.
Like Savage says: "Borders, language, and culture."
It really is that simple.
