Pro-immigration advocates say police shouldn't get into the business of immigration enforcement. That would encourage racial profiling and hinder police who investigate crimes against immigrants, they say.

Well "they" are a bunch of stupid idiots.

A recent Austin lawsuit has drawn attention to the debate, fueling discussion of whether cities and towns should report illegal immigrants or leave enforcement to the federal government.



We did not fight a Civil War to have this sh!t come up again. Local conflicts of interests must be subject to the Union's free individuals' interests from degradation.

Indeed, what a loophole. Since when LE were forbidden from investigating probable causes and motives for doing crimes? I think being a foreigner is a good reason to worry, because national sabotage starts at the lovalities and has found great interest amongst foreigners.

Who the heck are these people?

The states say they don't have the money and manpower.

What's bled over from the border, now is impacting local law enforcement departments, and to put it mildly, things have gotten out of hand.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said President Bush had ordered him to take control of the 7,000 miles of northern and southern borders, and the goal is to catch and remove every person who enters the country illegally.

A red herring. If President Bush wanted him to follow his order, Chertoff would be following it. Instead, more talk.

Well, it's certainly an uphill battle.

"There are good people coming just to make a living,"

They're not "good people". They are Goths, vandals and Huns invading our country, lowering our standard of living, flaunting our laws and stretching our social support network.

And they most certainly are NOT immigrants. They are illegal invaders who have no desire to become Americans, just a need to parasitize our society for the benefit ofthemselves and the corrupt government which aids and abets them.

The current Administration has been a miserable failure in one of the most basic responsibilities of AANY government - to secure its borders against invasion. Unfortunately, the Democrats would be even worse.

Tough employer sanctions, enforce them and most illegal aliens will go home as their income disappears

Accurate synonyms for these low-lifelives.

Whenever I read about excuses being made for these people and the word "immigrant" being used to describe them, I see red.

My people came here legally in 1904. My people ate shit for the first generation. Now the minute you get off the banana boat it's party time and time to start breaking US laws. Those laws besides the first law you broke of illegal entry

I know how you feel. My people came her legally around the same time. Back then you were quarentined - for good reason - if you had any health problems. Then you were given a pick and shovel if you had no trade and put to work, and it was expected - again for good reason - that you would learn English and speak it.

And there were no "affirmative action programs" for people from Europe.

This pandereing to Hispanic radicals has got to stop.

Let's all stream into Mexico and see what a welcome we get. By the way, I caught a heavyhanded 'come to Mexico' vacation commercial on cable yesterday: An American (Jack), plays golf and shanks his ball into a marsh, tall grass, etc. The caddie, a darkhaired, smaller man, runs into the marsh, searches diligently. (We're to understand this happened in the past as it has a sepia tint.) Then full technicolor and Jack is back today, playing golf. The same caddie runs up and hands him the ball he'd lost (with 'Jack' and stars on it). The happy American asks the caddie if he'd like to play with them....and someone says, "You want the caddie to join us?" Jack says, "I want a Friend to play with us." The juxtaposition of the big, burly American and the wiry little Mexican, doffing his cap was supposed to make Americans feel ashamed. Big psychological ploy...Forget drug smuggling, criminals streaming here to commit crimes Americans won't, etc..America is mean to poor little Mexico.

Big finish! Rainbow letters....MEXICO... vacation here, yada yada yada. (Your old pals, reliable neighbors, etc.) This would work better, frankly, if a quarter of Mexico hadn't already fled north, and half of everybody left wasn't busy packing for the same trip. Of course, those stories about Mexican soldiers crossing the border, firing on US border agents and using a bulldozer to drag a drug truck back to Mexico don't help matters.

"Goths, vandals and Huns invading our country, lowering our standard of living, flaunting our laws and stretching our social support network."......one of the many reasons for the fall of Rome was the inability/unwillingness of the government to protect the borders....

I understand Americans in droves are buying up property on Baja California and in and around resort towns springing up on Mexico's coastlines. It's giving a lot of Mexicans work. Maybe by moving there, they will stay there.
