I did and I know my friend did. She explained that she was a Republican and she totally supports him on this issue. I emailed him and thanked him and told him I supported him on this issue etc.
In a written statement to Human Events, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has conceded it cannot vouch for the accuracy of its claim that there are 314,000 immigration "absconders" in the United States. Absconders is the agency’s term for illegal aliens who have been ordered deported by immigration judges but who remain in the country anyway.
Statistics published by the Justice Department’s Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), which is independent of the INS, suggest that the number is far higher than the INS has claimed. Indeed, they indicate it is likely there were about 425,000 new absconders just in the five-year period from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 2000. And that number would exclude all absconders in the years before 1996, and all absconders since Oct. 1, 2000.
House Immigration Subcommittee Chairman George Gekas (R.-Pa.) told Human Events he now believes the number of absconders could run as high as one million.
Executive Order 13083 and Our Freedom - Both Parties Were Going To Finish Us Off
"Among the number of applications..., cannot we find an American capable and worthy of the trust? ...Why should we take the bread out of the mouths of our own children and give it to strangers?"
John Adams - (Letter to Sec. State John Marshall, Aug. 14, 1800)
"The opinion advanced [by Jefferson,] is undoubtedly correct, that foreigners will generally be apt to bring with them attachments to the persons they have left behind; to the country of their nativity, and to its particular customs and manners. They will also entertain opinions on government congenial with those under which they have lived; or, if they should be led hither from a preference to ours, how extremely unlikely is it that they will bring with them that temperate love of liberty, [italics in original] so essential to real republicanism? There may, as to particular individuals, and at particular times, be occasional exceptions to these remarks, yet such is the general rule. The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all-important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency."
Alexander Hamilton - ("Examinations of Jefferson's Message to Congress of December 7th, 1801," Jan. 12, 1802)
"Yet from such [absolute monarchies], we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. Their principles with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us in the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass."
Thomas Jefferson - ("Notes on Virginia," 1782)
""My opinion, with respect to emigration, is that except of useful mechanics and some particular descriptions of men or professions, there is no need of encouragement, while the policy or advantage of its taking place in a body...may be much questioned; for, by so doing, they retain the Language, habits, and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them."
George Washington - (Letter to John Adams, Nov. 15, 1794)
I thought this wasn't "Amnesty." LOL!
Do the right thing, show Bush the door in 2004.
Serious question. Who do you want to replace him?
The politicians aren't the problem. They're just a bunch of empty suit whores with money and political elite pimp connections. The American people are the problem. To even come close to fixing that problem would take a winning bloody revolution, and 3 to 4 decades of serious repair. The socialist/communist elite control nearly all pillars now. By the way, our side is so dumb they continue to call the enemy liberals. What's that? It means nothing. What, liberal like Stalin? Our side is full of wimps, who are afraid to call them what they are. Socialist and Marxist scum. The rule of law, and the overall system in general has collapsed. The politicans also know the Constitution was destroyed some time ago. It was planned and deliberate. It's all just pretend now. These political idiots slobber on themselves talking about a Democracy, they shall have it. The Republic is falling.
"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
James Madison
"The modern American university is the most totalitarian and elitist institution in the world. Students who show up on campus loving their country face a monolithic, repressive environment. Professors are undemocratically chosen by other, like-minded professors and tenure is distributed based solely on the willingness of the scholar to adopt the anti-American theology of the ruling elites. This authoritarian structure continues once the student enters the classroom, where America-hating professors can arbitrarily impose their anti-American morality on powerless students through grading.
The oppression continues when one looks at the curriculum where strenuous efforts by the anti-American leftists who brutally control college campuses have successfully marginalized and often eliminated course offerings which evince a sensitivity and acceptance of those who love their country." - Source
