I have received about 45 letters back from my representatives regarding (illegal) immiration. I even received a letter from Bush where he calls diversity a wonderful thing. All three of my representatives are Republican but my concerns are falling on deaf ears. They're going to do what they darn well please knowing full well that almost 80% of Americans want tighter border controls, less immigration and no amnesty.
You might also note that unless we place a moratorium on immigration we will be "outbred" over a period of years. I believe it is the census bureau that has those numbers on their website.
So, I'm fighting it but I'm losing.
Thanks for the ping MistyCA.

The Open Door: How Militant Islamic Terrorists Entered and Remained in the United States, 1993-2001" by the CIS's research director, Steven Camarota, reports how the "48 foreign-born radical Muslims who have been implicated in terrorism in this country since 1993."
"have manipulated almost every possible means of admission to the United States: Some have indeed come as students, tourists, and business travelers; others, however, have been Lawful Permanent Residents and naturalized U.S. citizens; while yet others have snuck across the border, arrived as stowaways on ships, used false passports, been granted amnesty, or been applicants for asylum."
At the time, it reports, they committed terrorism "Sixteen of the 48 terrorists were here on temporary visas (mainly as tourists), 12 were illegal aliens and 17 were Lawful Permanent Residents or had actually been naturalized as U.S. citizens."

In the interest of fair disclosure about your sources; from the Wall Street Journal:
"In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China's one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486.
"FAIR, where Mr. Krikorian once worked, is run by Dan Stein and shares advisers and personnel with CIS and other members of the Tanton nexus. As our Jason Riley noted in a March op-ed, "By Dr. Tanton's own reckoning, FAIR has received more than $1.5 million from the Pioneer Fund, a white-supremacist outfit devoted to racial purity through eugenics."
Where we live right now there are many illegals and much crime associated with them.
Don't worry about it until they attempt to buy the southwestern states with a handfull of beads.
Worry about it when a Democrat running for Pres says he will accept the beads for the states.
THIS IS NOT A RACIAL ISSUE: IT IS ABOUT FREEDOM – YOURS AND YOUR KIDS’ AND GRANDKIDS’.
Quite right.

BTTT Dirk.
In addition to a major threat to our security, these criminals also harm our quality of life, damage the environment and gene pool, etc. etc.
I once stated something on a FR thread to the effect of, "if left unchecked, in 20 years we won't recognise America because it will be a spanish speaking country with Latin-American traditions". I was flamed by some Miami FReepers who demanded to know why that was such a bad thing to happen. They brought to my attention that maybe it's time for America to "evolve" to such a state.
I must tell you that I had to do some heavy soul searching that day! I am not a bigotted person. I try very hard to get along with everyone. But truthfully, I had to admit (and very possibly to my shame, I don't know) that I didn't want to see America become "Latino"... I didn't want my great grandkids to be speaking spanish as their native language!
Since then I have been afraid to think about this, much less to post anything about it. And yet it weighs heavily on my mind. Am I wrong to think this way? I don't really know.
I would love to be able to quit teaching and go to work for one of the organizations above. Just don't know how to pursue that goal.

". And rapidly growing numbers of us are becoming VERY tired of paying for YOUR lawlessness. And if the INS comes calling, the fines are substantial. "
Dick, that's called SELECTIVE ANARCHY...."good" Americans that choose to break only laws that line their pockets, with no regard what is happening to their fellow citizens and country.

I believe this number is demonstrably higher. There was a recent article posted here that said that last year 850K illegal aliens graduated from our high schools. If 850K were seniors in high school, then there were even more in K5 through 11th grade (850K x 13 grades = 11,050,000). Now this figure is just the youngin's. I would wager there are 3-4 times as many that aren't in school.
1 - "BUSINESSMAN NOW HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS, .... if the INS comes calling, the fines are substantial. "
What BS - this is the real problem - there are no fines or punnishment for hiring illegals.
Get with it, and enforce the laws and fines, and jail the illegals and their employers.
And with no work, the illegals will leave on their own, and will not come back.
