It's worrisome because no one seems to be too interested in discussing "the good guys" but only "the bad".

The backlash is growing, as I knew it would. Any intelligent American knew this. The MSM are amazed that it happened, how out of touch they really are.

These people killed their cause, and they did it with the help of communist organizations, and leftist America haters. There is one thing that was never figured into this little equation of theirs. The huge majority of the American people WORK, and they don't have the time to counter demonstrate. We are the engine of this economy, they are a small minority of poor, illegal, and destitute people that need to come here legally and be free. They will never dictate what they want, that won't work. It will serve nothing more that to piss the huge majority off, and it did.

We always thought that the far left was so smart. Remember, they think with their "heart", we think with our brain.

By the way, the willful, knowing registration of an illegal alien to vote in a federal election is a federal crime. Everybody goes to jail. There has to be records, and we can find them. Go right ahead.......make my day. And it will be the single take down of "Motor Voter". Good bye fraud, good bye democRATS. Just wait! I've seen the best of this conflict and it will be good for this country.

Don't underestimate the "allegiance" of many in the MSM. Last night on CNN. Anderson Cooper is quoting some "new" poll that suggested that 72% of Americans are in favor of Amnesty.

xenophobic American citizens

If standing up for America and my children's future plus wanting the law enforced is "xenophobic"? Just make sure it is Mr. Xenophobic American Citizen!

One man's demagogue is another man's Paul Revere!

Unfortunately, although you didn't meant we should vote for a RAT, many out there do and thus why they keep pushing agenda the public @ large don't want and it teeters on arrogance. This prevailing attitude of we'll do what we want because well, who are you going to vote for Nancy Pelosi, that is just wrong.

I will go vote but it makes my blood boil. I just don't know how things got this far out of control.

It is called "TERM LIMITS."

Time to bring them back - with a vengeance this time, real TERM LIMITS, no exceptions, no matter how good the elected official is, throw the bums out of DC before they become infected with Lobbyists, special perks, private dinners with "dignitaries", and most of all Congressional Pensions and lifetime lobbying law-firm jobs when they leave.

I am not in the "open border" crowd. I am in the anti-hysteria...

Apparently you belong to the anti-border contol group. Maybe we will all go back to sleep, again, and you crowd can continue the de-construction of America.

You call us Bush bashers, so who are we supposed to blame for not upholding their oath to the Constitution? He refuses to provide defense of the several states from invasion. He is supposed to be the cheif law enforcement officer, instead he has encouraged millions of illegals to come into this country in the hope of gaining citizenship.

It is his choice, now we get a voice in the matter, so just suck up and take it.

but my blood pressure can't take the intellectually dishonest people who routinely post on the threads about "doomsday" illegal immigration woes.

Bush hasnt advocated amnesty...do a little research

We have and your argument doesn't stand up. "Family valuse don't stop at the border" remember that one.

That maybe, DHS has increased funding to border control

Surely you jest, The President has refused to spend the money made available for new border patrol. I will give him a little credit for wanting to put monitoring devices on the border so we can watch the illegals jump the border. He is a little shady on what happens after we watch them come accross. Once the get here they must be given a hearing before a judge, an infinitismal number actually show up, but they don't leave either.

but my blood pressure can't take the intellectually honest people who routinely post on the threads about "doomsday" illegal immigration woes.

Get used to it, the people are waking up.

Complied from the L.A Times:
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).

(All 10 above compiled from articles in the Los Angeles Times)

1. Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare.

2. Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.

3. The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [source: Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University].

4. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE.

5. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Ref: <<"We have 5-6 MILLION of them in California. They are taking over 200,000+ population cities here, one after the other.
And yet we have many FReepers that see no problem, and are blindly following Bush. INCREDIBLE!">>

I also am from the Columbus, Ohio area and have a son living in San Diego. It is well past time to demand Action from President Bush or the Conservatives should move for his impeachment for Non-Feasance.

Whatever happened to upholding the Oath of Office to protect the Country from all Enemies, foreign and Domestic?

Outstanding...

And you are correct--the propaganda campaign is definitely not working (don't you love the smell of backlash in the morning?).

The Rats will allow this "new" hot issue to mire the POTUS, and republicans, in order to gain seats in the House and Senate...that's what is currently driving this issue...an issue, which has been around for decades but is now is somehow Bush's "sole" fault.

So, indulging your scenario, the "Vast Democrat Immigration Conspiracy" has maneuvered President Bush into a situation where, if he gets tough on illegals and secures the border, he will ingratiate himself to 70% of the American public. Wow, that's pretty shrewd strategizing!

.....the impossibility of deporting the 11 million already here.

We didn't import them either but they still got here. They can leave the same way after we crack down on their employers and pass more laws like Arizona so that local police start throwing them in tent city jails.
