I don't know what happened in the governors race in Virginia but this issue is enough to make me NOT vote for certain politicians this November that I would have before.

I think what Americans really want is to BELIEVE and SEE that the borders will be sealed and secured. THEN talk about possible guestworkers can begin. Just my opinion.

Please contact your senators at the link below. Its very fast and easy!! The issue before the Senate isn't just about the illegals already here - its about letting in hundreds of thousands more each year legally (and illegally if they still do nothing to seal the border)

The Senate committee bill that was passed this week is the McCain-Kennedy proposal. Its a highly liberal immigration reform package that has the support of PresBush and most Senate Democrats. It has no chance whatsoever of becoming the law of the land. The House bill passed last December by a vote of 239-182, is HR4437. It is a strict border enforcement/employer sanction proposal.

The Congress should try and pass HR4437, or something very similar to it. It will help Republicans hold the Congress this November. The GOP needs to stay away from anything that looks like it might be considered amnesty. Let a temporary foreign worker wait until after the November election. I think no decision at all, is a bad decision.

the bottom line is this... i said before here and i'll say it again... illegal immigration will be the #1 central issue of the '06 and '08 elections... period, end of story... if the republicans and especially the conservatives within the party buckle to the illegal alien special interests for the sake of corporate welfare, then it's over for them on '06 & '08 with ramifications well beyond that... not to mention the fact that we, as a country will be stuck with nearly unfettered illegal migrations from around the globe...

there are 12 - 20 million illegals in this country and the only arguments against them that can be made is that they are somehow given 'backbone of our economy' status, they are given 'they are the only ones that will do jobs that no one else will' status, they are given ' they are here only to work and raise their family' status, they are given 'if you kick them out and make americans do their jobs then you will pay $1 extra for your strawberries' status... is that what this country has come too...?

this country needs at least a 5 year break from almost any immigration to even out our rolls and yet they flood into this country like the invading diseased hordes that they are... all of your nightmares will come true if the people protesting to legitimize their illegalities is allowed to go forth... stop it now while you can or the face of this country will change for the worse and for good...

" "Here's what I think about the immigration issue: I don't know what I think." "

We republican voters DO know what to think- We want a wall, and we want immigration laws enforced. Use the military. We want to cut federal funds from "sancturary cities". We want photo ID's required for voting. We want NO driver's license for ILLEGAL ALIENS. I think that most of us actually DO know what to think. And, if GWB and the Republican Senators don't get a clue real fast, we're looking at losing BOTH houses of Congress in "06, and the presidency immediately thereafter by impeachment.

Amnesty does not fix the problem. IT WILL MAKE IT WORSE...JUST LIKE IT DID THE LAST TIME IT WAS GRANTED!

An illegal immigration law that grants amnesty is pouring gasoline on the fire...A LOT OF GASOLINE!

To those of you who are new to our land it is imperative that you understand our history and culture for we are a nation that is guided by rule of law. Our nation has survived the past two hundred and thirty years adhering to pretty much one single document, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. It is with in its framework that guarantees the freedom’s many immigrants seek.

For the most part, this country thought out its history welcomes all who come to work hard, and follow the laws to make a better life for themselves. Everyone must understand that if you have come here illegally your presence undermines the rule of law and weakens the foundation this nation is built upon. The individuals who hire you to “do the work that most American’s s will not do” are also complicit in the subversion of our laws. They only seek profit over following the law, which in my opinion is treasonous and denigrates / exploits the value of the person or person’s working for them.

Those who hire an illegal partake in a form of slavery, which was eradicated during our own Civil War. Mind you, a half million American’s gave their lives so many could live free. A point that must be remembered. Make no mistake about it, your presence here and working illegally is tantamount to slavery. You contribute, but do not have the same rights as a legal citizen. You are being exploited and that is morally and ethically wrong. Let’s see Cardinal Mahoney defend that one. Speaking of….

Most regrettably, speaking as a Catholic. In my opinion Cardinal Mahoney is derelict in his duties advising his follower's to ignore any law that places restrictions on the aiding of a person breaking Federal, State and local laws. How the Cardinal finds the moral high ground for stating such is beyond me. The Catholic Church would not have survived as long as it has without the rule of law. There are basic tenants of Catholicism that one must follow to actually be a Catholic in its truest sense. There are also basic tenants for being an American Citizen and one of them is following the laws of the land whether you like them or not! If you do not like them, work to change them. Till their changed, follow them or get the hell out!

Now some advice to our Congressman here, seal the border first! If you truly want to help the “undocumented worker” and the citizen’s of our nation that border must be sealed! Failing to seal the border is treasonous and unfair to those who would participate in any worker program. Failure of the this United States government not to seal its boarder against invasion and abdicating its constitutional responsibility to do so breaks the contract with its citizens and therefore in my opinion relinquishes its ability to level taxes upon its citizens. If State and Local governments also fail to protect its citizen by not enforcing current laws it to forfeits the right to collect taxes. I believe citizens of this country are under no obligation to pay taxes to government not acting in its behalf by not enforcing the current rule of law!

To the illegal immigrant, your numbers have swollen to the point that any economic gain that is made by your presence is being eviscerated by the absorption of social services and problems associated with a sub-culture. This country can no longer ignore your presence and must find a way to deal with the situation in an orderly legal matter. One other point must be made here. My advice to the “illegal community” is not to over play your hand here. You may be 30 million strong, but there are 270 million legal citizens’ who are getting rather impatient with the lack of leadership coming out of D.C. Please, if you want to demonstrate great…loose the Mexican flag and find yourselves some red, white and blue stripes to wave. It will go along way in helping your cause with the American public. If you want to waive a foreign flag in protest you are free to go home and do so in the land of that flag, NOT HERE!

The “undocumented worker” must pay close attention here. By our government failing to seal the border; by default will erode any achievements made in a new law or set of regulations that might on the surface seem like it will be helping you, but might ultimately will hurt you. Not sealing the border will just displace the newly documented worker with another illegal that will work for a lesser wage. The absolute advantage will shift to the illegal once again!

For all who wish to enter this country legally and make a better life for themselves I wish you the best of luck in pursuing your dreams and ambitions. Your contributions to our economy, culture and society are welcomed with open arms.

No one man or group of persons can place themselves above the law. This idea is dangerous and outright treasonous. The abdication of rule of law by a large number of people will in a short time destroy what you the “illegal immigrant” orinally came here for, a better life. It is the rule of law that enables this nation to offer people a better life. If the 250 million legal citizens’ of this nation chose to not obey our laws, we would quickly degenerate into anarchy. Therefore we must deal with your presence in a legal way. For not doing so will give the de facto right to all the other inhabitants of this nation to behave in what ever manner they so desire. By not following the rule of law you will see how quickly we become like the place you sought to escape.
