Millions of Mexican Illegal Aliens Endanger U.S. Security

FYI.....

The three experts, speaking at a panel hosted by Nixon Center and Center for Immigration Studies, also said that amnesty for Mexican illegal aliens in the United States should not be considered until immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexican border is strengthened.

I have a hard time taking any article seriously that in any way legitimizes amnesty.  There are no circumstances that would justify rewarding people who have broken our laws to come here.  Tell me what validity an oath would mean from these folks?  What does a strengthened border do to change this?

Chalk this up as another fuzzy logic diatribe on illegal immigration.  You can't say you are against illegal immigration on the one hand, then make comments that support amnesty on the next.

How about the "there are a lot of illegal immigrants we can get to vote for us if we give them amnesty and promise them handouts" oath?

If this striks as great a discourse with you as it does with me, make sure you vote for true CONSERVATIVES and stop paying attention to Reuplicrats and Demicans, which are harder to differentiate between from election to election.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Earned legalization must be sufficiently stringent as to discourage illegal immigration, something the 1986 'amnesty' failed to do.

The only thing an illegal alien has earned is a one-way trip back home. Sheesh, when is the US going to stop coddling these people and enforce the law?

[Tancredo Fan]

I hear you..... as far as I'm concerned, the thought of amnesty for these invaders is absurd and out of the question, and no amount of effort should be spared in order to secure our borders and remove these millions of criminals.... no matter how un-PC that may be. Although there are illegals here from many countries, Mexico seems to be one of a very few corrupt nations using illegal immigration as a weapon. They need to be dealt with once and for all, and in a manner that they will not soon forget.

"His research showed that Mexican immigrants, legal and illegal, were costing U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars a year though their use of public assistance."

I thought this needed to be said again.

The last I knew the taxpayers aren't asked if this assistance shouldn't be billed back to the Mexican Government.

And Bush fiddles while the Southwest burns. The flood of illegal aliens is the direct cause of some 60% of Los Angeles County Hospitals operating in the red now. Hell, just last week U.C. Irvine told the indigent and poor not to come to their emergency rooms anymore because they can't handle the flood of unpaid bills.

Also, L.A. County is proposing a new 3-cent tax per square foot on each structure in the county to help "fund" the hardpressed emergency rooms across the County. Well, when the idiots at the GOP call me this October to help them out I'll have to tell them I sent my donation to the County to pay for the illegals the GOP is allowing to flood into our nation.

I expect this rubbish from Clinton, not from Bush and that is why he is the greater dissapointment.

[wku man]

Yep.

Some of the latest developments from the San Diego area. Illegals drive the wrong way on I-8 at night with no lights to avoid a checkpoint on the other side of 8. Recently there was a fatl headon and there have been numerous other accidents caused by these a-holes. The best part is the govt. knows of this and will do nothing to stop it. The van in the fatal had been seized in an earlier incident but was returned when the smugglers complained. Another new tactic is that in the morning when traffic into Mexico is light on I-5 they use specially reinforced trucks to bust through the border going North in the Southbound lanes pushing other vehicles out of the way. And of course Bush will tell us how serious he is about our security. He is a clown and a liar.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with you.

[DoughtyOne]

I've heard of this latest practice. It's a sad commentary. I could make some pretty pointed comments about Bush. I'll refrain. But if he want's to be taken seriously when he says he's doing all he can, he simply cannot continue to ignore the problems on our southern border, differing to President Fox's take on things.

[Tancredo Fan]

Wrong-way illegal alien menaces need to be lit up.

[LillyDayStar]

I'm in Dallas and in the last week there have been 100+ illegal aliens discovered in the back of semis. Some were caught and some fled the scene. Scary part is come September, thanks to NAFTA, Mexican trucks will be able to come into the country to deliver goods. Not only driving on our roadways, but carrying cargo into the interior.

Leiken said that helping Mexico guard its borders should be one of the most important items on the U.S.-Mexico foreign relations agenda, especially in light of Sept. 11. Another critical aspect of control should be increased immigration law enforcement within U.S. workplaces

Help Mexico? They are encouraging it. Cracking down on American business's employing of these tax exempt workers would not hurt.

[Malcolm]

The American people, as a whole, do not want to secure our southern border with Mexico. There is no other way to stop the flow of illegals into this country. We should have done this in the 70s/80s, as I have posted on FReep many times over. Now our only choice is to 1) round up Mexicans on trucks and into camps to be deported, (if you think this would ever happen, you're crazy, or 2) the illegals voluntarily go back home, (even more farfetched).

No folks, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. We will have to deal with "immigration" from Mexico from here on out. It's too late to do anything that will affect this problem. Even securing the border at this late date, (no political will to do even this too-little, too-late action), would provide little relief. I hope that all you lovely folk will learn to enjoy the drawbacks of not having enforced our borders for the last 30 years. The Dems will be the majority party in less than a generation, and we will have our own "PRI" experience for the rest of the century, maybe less than that if we are extremely lucky.....

[Tancredo Fan]

Help Mexico?

Absolutely not. Mexico cannot be helped. Protecting ourselves from Mexico is what DC ought to be doing. That country should be completely isolated.

They are encouraging it.

That, they are.

Cracking down on American business's employing of these tax exempt workers would not hurt.

Try convincing the one-term wonder of that.

[umgud]

Why spend money protecting our borders if we are just going to give the illegals amnesty anyway? Think of the money we could save if we disbanded the border patrol.

[XtreMarine]

Our borders are open. We allow immigration. Until we crack down hard, real hard for illegal crossing by those who help and those who do, they will keep coming. Land mines are going away, tell me why?
