Stop sending Federal tax dollars to states and localities that do this. Turn off the spigot and see how quickly these "sanctuaries" disappear.
What you say is very true. This immigration issue brought out a visible picture of the truth. The ruling "uber" class has always worked together toward a major agenda.
They have worked for many years to divide and move our attention to issues other that the reality that they are the problem. They have used race and other diversionary tactics to make us go after each other, diverting our attention away from seeing that they are the big enemy.
Their greatest fear is when we wake up and realize the truth. They fear this because there are more of us. Our Constitition made by very wise founders, left weapons in our hands just in case these people got out of hand. Hmm? That may be why constant attempts to take those arms away is happening. It also may be why they are pushing more military-like police forces.
Party politics has blinded us. We look at everything through a party stance, and vote for and support people we would never vote for independently.
I hope this is a wake-up call for all of us to be very careful and skeptical of who is pushed by parties in the future.
Too bad the USA doesn't operate in that manner, eh?
Most of our political ills would be solved if the House was enlarged to about 3000 members and the 17th Amendment repealed.
From what I’ve read, it appears they didn’t survey properly. Rather, they depended on the location of a barbed wire fence that had been strung by a private landowner.
Stupid is as stupid does.
The article is perfect and full of memorable quotes. His thought process is so far from racism that even Thomas is reluctant to connect the dots. “wages that Americans won’t take...” You see, the largest festering sore of unemployment in this nation is young black men. They are the one group being hurt most by importing a new crop of illiterates. It is racism of the highest order to let the Hispanics muscle in and deprive the black men of an honest job. Hispanics may be brown, but they are not black. Their hair is black, but not nappy. The Latins speak spanish, not eubonics. Hispanic lips and noses are narrow. Don’t try to tell me that Hispanics and their advocates are not racist, the facts speak otherwise.

Great posts!
Now it's time to clean house. I want Lindsay Graham soundly defeated in the primary as well as Trent Lott. All you South Carolinians, all you Mississippians get after these idiots. Kick them out in the primaries and get a REAL conservative to the Senate. Don't let them get away with their condescension. Send them to the scrapheap of history.
It still breaks my heart to know I am one of those who has lost that confidence.
But what I also know is ...
...God is sovereign, and as the poster Soul Seeker expressed..
...prayer--(& by God's grace) our action saved the day.
We must work together to build on this (perhaps last) opportunity to regain our country.
Pulls up to a worksite with a bunch of his officers (in squad cars)...
..and arrests the ones who start running!

He says so much in so few words..and he's always right:-)
I wonder how much better our country would be if just half the politicians had just half of his common sense. He should be required reading in every public school.
They'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming, and then monitored so they build it on the RIGHT side of the border.
No, I suspect we're going to have to get that one built ourselves.
Not yet, we don't.
In 1988, would you have predicted that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would be dissolved and banned by 1991?
And here, we have tools that the Russians could only dream of.
When it goes down, it's gonna go down fast.
You said, in part: Besides, even at the same wages, the kind of employer who’d hire an illegal in the first place would probably prefer them to Americans because they can hold ICE over their heads.

I am sure there are plenty of employers who fall into this category, as well as those who simply want to pay low wages, but in my experience these Hispanic immigrants (I don’t know from looking which are legal and which are illegal) work long and hard and do pretty good work. They show up for work and follow instructions. They don’t make excuses. They are, in these respects, ideal employees.
I don’t support amnesty or illegal immigration, but I can understand an employer’s desire to hire people who do the job for which they were hired without moaning and complaining (and least not in English!).
For the record, my position on immigration policy is: build a wall (not a fence, but a wall like we see along highways behind residential development); start deporting as many illegals as we can (I know we can’t get them all, but we can get some of them); loosen guest worker visa requirements and the citizenship path for those who came here legally; and welcome those who come here looking for opportunity who are willing to work.
I only wish there were a way to deport some citizens who were born here and somehow think they are entitled to have a living provided to them.
To ask the question, "Are 'the media' objective?" is to raise - and answer - a different and more revealing question - "Are 'the media' independent?"; For if the first question must necessarily have a single answer, the answer to the second question must be, "No." The journalism outlets compete with each other only in the sense that the Yankees and the Red Sox compete with each other: both cooperate in promoting the idea that major league baseball generally, and their rivalry in particular, are significant. Big journalism promotes journalism first and its individual members second.According to Daniel Boorstin, newspapers were founded in America for the purpose of promoting the locales they served. Little, nascent metropolises like Podunk, Peoria - or Chicago or Cleveland - each had their local newspaper promoting their own locale as the next big thing. So the perspective of journalism is its obsession with the very local, both in space and in time. And that corresponds to an obsession with itself. Journalism's pretension to objectivity is nothing more than an expression of its subjective nature.
Living in the shadows my a$$! Let's see, they're in all of the stores, they are in the dentist's offices, the doctor's offices, the schools, the parks, the community swimming pools, 15 families packed into a 3 bd. house, walking the streets, loitering in shopping centers, I could go on and on. I guess my definition of living in the shadows is way different then a politicians.
N-i-c-e summation----best yet.
These ivory tower types have no idea how frightened Americans are.
Illegals are coming into upscale residential areas-----strolling our streets like they owned them.
The illegals look at us with strange, hooded eyes, lusting after our cars, our property. Americans wonder if they are coming to rape or kill us.
Americans cannot ask what illegals are doing in our neighborhoods---a NYC actress spoke up, and was murdered, then strung up in her shower. The murder was staged to look like a suicide by the 19-year old killer (an illegal). God knows how many other crimes he committed---so practiced was he at staging his brutal murder of this young woman.
Americans want this to stop. We want our gov't to do something about this. We want our government to act to protect us.
It is an outrage that illegals who broke the law sneaking into our country feel they have the right to takeover our streets and frighten, murder rob and rape law-abiding Americans.
This has to end.
