"If you think you have the moral high ground, go before the citizens of the United States and tell them on national TV you do not believe in enforcing immigration laws and all such laws should be repealed."
Quit being cowards.
Stop undermining the laws of this country.
Stop slapping the faces of citizens and LEGAL immigrants.
You don't have the balls to tell the American people what you REALLY believe, do you?
Delgado failed to mention the fact that illegal aliens suck up several BILLIONS of dollars in American taxpayer funded services every year.
They contribue $73 each to the economy per YEAR. Yesiree Bob, now that's some powerful contribution. Sheesh.

Why don't they address the real problem, the injustice of current policies toward Mexican People, by the Mexican Government.
Rep. Virgil Goode has reintroduced a bill (H.R.277) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to assign members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to assist the Department of Homeland Security in the performance of border protection functions.
We need your help to get additional cosponsors for this critically important legislation. It is foolhardy, if not insane, to consider going to war while our borders are left wide open. Please send email an letter to your Representative today. Thank you!
************************************ Throughout the world, American soldiers have rooted out terrorism, maintained the peace and controlled disputed borders.
In Haiti, Bosnia and the Middle East, American peace keepers have demonstrated, not just their courage, but their expertise in handling difficult situations.
Wherever there is a problem, American soldiers can be relied upon to get the job done -- except here, on America's own borders. Why is that?
Every year, our border crisis worsens. First, it was drugs. Then disease. Then, it was illegal aliens, crossing by the hundreds and then by the millions. And now, terrorists are crossing our borders, determined to rain more death and destruction down upon us.
If there were ever a time for the United States to put troops on the border, this is it!
We are in a state of war. And we are fighting enemies who have brought the battle to our shores.
That is why I am happy to report that we are working closely with Congressman Virgil Goode (I-VA) who has introduced H.R. 277, a bill that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to assign members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to assist the Department of Homeland Security in the performance of border protection functions.
We are very grateful to Rep. Goode for introducing this critically important legislation and promised him we would do everything within our power to help him get his bill passed as quickly as possible ... before another disaster strikes our nation. The first and most important thing we can do to help is to get cosponsors for his new legislation.
I had hoped that the shock of September 11th would have aroused even the most apathetic of our elected officials ... but I was wrong. Although you and I know that our undefended borders remain an open invitation to terrorists, illegal aliens and drug smugglers, many Congressmen are acting as if we have no national security problems.
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Despite the fact that we now have a new Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security and the President has used his authority to put National Guard troops at America's airports, our borders are still wide open.
Amazingly, our government continues to permit some organizations to put out food, medicine and clothing along the routes illegal aliens use to sneak into our country. They continue to allow this in the aftermath of 9/11 and with the knowledge that, since 9/11, Arabs, hiding among the illegal aliens, have been captured by the Border Patrol.
Every national poll conducted reveals overwhelming support for putting troops on the border ... even before 9/11. Of all the things our government could do to secure our nation, putting troops at our borders would be one of the least costly, most effective and cause the least interruption of American's daily lives.
Instead, our government federalized all the airport security personnel and gave them specific instructions not to look for suspicious looking characters, but to harass every airline passenger equally. And that is why they waste their time forcing poor old ladies with arthritic fingers to remove their shoes to search for explosives!
They are doing all this nonsense while illegal aliens are crossing are borders are the same rate as before 9/11. If 5-10,000 illegal aliens can walk across our borders in a single day, how difficult do you think it is for terrorists to get across?
For too many years, Congress has been brainwashed by the well-funded special interest groups who have convinced them that the American people want open borders and mass immigration. Many continue to believe they will be thrown out of office if they support programs to control our borders and slow immigration.
One way to convince them to do the right thing is to show them that the American people are behind them. They will get that message clearly when they start to receive thousands of email letters like the one I have attached to this alert, urging them to sign on to the Goode bill to put troops on the border.
So far, our elected officials have continued to ignore the polls and editorials urging the Congress to put troops on the border. But they would be foolish to ignore thousands of emails landing on their desk daily demanding troops on the border NOW!
That can happen if you send an email today.
Our immigration problems, our drug problems and the threat of terrorists crossing our unguarded borders could all be solved overnight if our troops were allowed to assist the Border Patrol in securing our border from these threats.
The solution is at hand. All we have to do is convince the Congress to pass the Goode amendment without delay. And the best way I know to get bills through the committee process and on to the House and Senate floors for a vote is by getting as many cosponsors as possible.
You need to understand that there are thousands of bills all vying for the attention of the Congress. The ones that get to the top of the pile are the ones that have the most support. The most visible indication of support are the number of Congressmen and Senators who have actually added their names to a bill as cosponsors.
Until we have secured our borders against the flow of drugs, disease, illegal migration and terrorism, America will continue face an uncertain future and you and your loved ones will remain vulnerable to multiple threats.
So please send your email today. And if you want to do even more, consider joining Border Control. Just Click on Join Now! on the left side of your screen and help us to establish sensible and fair immigration policies while we regain control of our borders.
Thank You!

U.S. BORDER CONTROL America's last best chance to reform our border and immigration policies ... before it's too late.
Bump to Rep. Virgil Goode!!!
The matricula consular is an identification card issued by the Mexican government to its citizens illegally residing in the United States. We oppose acceptance of this card by U.S. institutions because it encourages illegal immigration. Furthermore, the United States has certain duties to its citizens like ensuring national security and defending against international and domestic fraud that require the responsibility for identification of persons in the United States to remain with U.S. authorities. These responsibilities must not be ceded to any foreign government.
FILE's efforts on the matricula consular are currently targeted toward banks that accept the card as sufficient ID to open a bank account, and toward municipalities that accept the card for the purpose of doling out city services including law enforcement services.
Several states will introduce the FILE Secure and Verifiable ID legislation during the 2003 legislative session. The bill, with the assistance of FILE and NumbersUSA, is introduced in the following states:
Why doesn't Delgado tell the truth, that illegal aliens cost American taxpayers billions of dollars every year? Damn, that makes me mad.
Wow $73 a head, we can't afford to do without illegals!
Well - there's a pretty obvious solution to that one isn't there????
GO HOME!
If federal and state government officials (elected and appointed) do not stop abetting this illegal activity and the out and out invasion of our nation...if they do not uphold our laws and protect our borders...then one day there is going to be physical fighting and bloodshed over this on a large scale.
A growing percentage of people are waking up to the ill effects of the flood of illegal aliens on our economy, on our culture and on our way of life...and they are geting mad and symbolically up in arms over it. If not addressed and corrected...particularly in this time of war...the time will come when they are literally up in arms over it.
...and this does not even begin to address the hundreds of thousands of "OTMs" (Other than Mexicans) which are coming in under the cover of this. Tens of thousands of those each year are middle eastern and most probably islamic. What do you suppose a large number of those are comning here to do?
When you add up the massive outsourcing of our manufacturing, technology and agircultural base to this absolute invasion of illegal aliens who are sapping our economy even further (and that is clear by these idiots own statements when they let slip that 10 million contribute 750 million meaning $75 dollars each per year...what do you figure it is costing us each year to have each one of them here in terms of social costs, legal costs, and in terms of job money going out of the country?)...when you add it all up you come up with a situation that is literally destroying our nation and our ability to remain independent and soveriegn...and that is the exact aim IMHO.
Isn't that one of the primary reasons to have a government in the first place?
Isn't that one of the primary reasons we pay taxes? I'd rather see my tax dollars go for defense of my country's borders than used as welfare for illegals.
What the hell is Fox doing in power if he cannot do anything but send over his people to America? Maybe America should take over Mexico until they can get their act together.
Moreover, were these two bus loads of illegal aliens coming to California to cast their vote for No Recall/Vote Bustamante? Was this arranged by the desparate democrat party?
Those rights are for american citizens, not those who don't respect the borders, laws, and culture of our nation.
Sounds like sport fishing.
Uhh... GO BACK TO YOUR HOME COUNTRY AND APPLY FOR AN IMMIGRANT VISA AT THE US CONSULATE, MAYBE?????
Geez.
