If it's a federal issue, as Officer Cooney says, why didn't we hear from anyone at Immigration and Customs Enforcement? They wouldn't talk to us on camera either.

If you want to stop this illegal immigration;stop patronising the establishments that hire them.That way they'll get the message.

Somehow, people have to get this message and act on it. I changed my banking and let them know I couldn't leave my money in a bank that promotes illegality by dealing with aliens. They want my SS # every time I do anything, but aliens don't have to??? Nah.

I have a solution! Why don't we give them amnesty! We'll call it a "Guest Worker" program. That way no one is breaking the law and it will make our country much safer from any terrorists posing as illegal aliens. Doesn't that make sense? ;O)

I saw this report on Channel 8 news last night. I was surprised (and somewhat pleased) by the hard-hitting approach that their reporter used. They were confronting the guys who pick up illegal-immigrant day-laborers (in the illegal-alien pickup zone set up by the city of Stamford) and getting them to admit that they paid the laborers in cash, and did not do payroll tax withholding, and were breaking state and federal laws by doing so. The picture of the mayor's office that they were turned away from made a powerful point, as did their questions of the Stamford police PR guy, who could not give proper answers to their questions...

YOU GOTTA BE FREAK'N KIDDING ME!! A few years back the Attorney General announced that under no circumstances with his office enforce any Federal immigration laws nor would his office cooperate in any way with the INS.

An exercise in futility. Bush and the dems will pass an amnesty in the January session of the new "democratic" congress. It will no longer be illegal.
To: photodawg
Then why not just raise your hands and surrender this country.Because that's whats going to happen if we don't fight this illegal immigration invasion.
Sooner or later the American people will come to their senses and remove the democrats from power and that will be one of the issues that will remove them from power.

We'll call it a "Guest Worker" program.The new term is "Regularization". The rabid nativists of the conservative base got wise to "guest worker" and "comprehensive immigration reform." But we can still fool the rubes if we call amnesty "regularization".

We just did on 11/7. We surrendered to islam and we surrendered to Mexico. We took the best economy in years, the biggest tax cuts since R.R. and five attack free years and threw it all away because we don't want to fight in iraq. Don't you understand, we just elected the guys who will insure that the senate amnesty bill gets passed. The president is already in favor of guest worker and will not veto the bill. Its done like dinner. So how are you gonna fight something that will be legal by March? We just elected they guys who will insure we pull out of iraq without a victory. We bought the media kool aid and allowed a minor problem with tactics appear to be a major catastrophe. We turned out in large numbers for "peace" and for "change". Well my friend, now we gonna get it.

So does the President (Totalization Agreement).

"It's a political decision and a political debate. We enforce the laws of Stamford and Connecticut and we don't enforce immigration laws. It's a federal issue," says Cooney. Spoken like a true Republican. And Bush says amnesty is on the way.
To: Puppage
"Yeah every time they pay in cash." When I get paid in cash I usually get a 1099 later on which kind of ruins the excitement. Do you think Manuel Laboror gets a 1099?
