What we need to accept is that a vast majority of Mexican/Central American undocumented immigrants do not threaten the employment of any high-skilled U.S. worker, but rather take jobs that a majority of workers do not want.

This elitist fool is only concerned about the high-skilled legal worker. He’s not concerned about the low skilled workers that these criminal aliens are hurting.

Not everyone in America is a high-skilled worker. The carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers, roofers, cooks, maids, burger flippers, are people too. They shouldn’t have their jobs taken away by criminals.

The Dallas Morning News had a story about a week ago about high school and college kids who couldn’t find summer work because unemployed adults have the jobs the kids used to get. They never mentioned the fact that the criminal aliens have the jobs these Americans need.

The government needs to use the RICCO laws against anyone, employing or harboring these criminals. Companies like Tyson get confiscated and some people get their homes and farms confiscated, others will stop helping these criminals break the law.

Ahscroft took an oath to enforce our laws. In his conformation hearing he said that he would enforce all laws, even if he disagreed with them.

If he doesn’t start enforcing the immigration laws congress should hold him accountable.

that these criminal aliens

What gets me isn't so much the hard-working illegal ---if someone is willing to work 12 hours a day in the hot sun, 100+ temperatures, you almost can't be against them ---but around here that's far from the only immigrants we're getting. So many unwed mothers from Mexico get over here to give birth, many use those temporary visitor visas to come over the legal ports of entry, they head over to the county hospital and they end up staying and collecting a welfare check besides Medicaid, food stamps, WIC and all the rest. Plus all the legal immigrants can sponsor any number of indigent elderly and get them right onto SSI and Medicaid for a nice easy retirement here in this country. I'd rather see all welfare cut off and those moochers deported first.

Agreed not every American is highly educated and/or skilled but every American deserves to have the borders protected from an invasion of illegal immigrants. There are some here on Free Republic who think because their own job or business is not threatened yet they want the advantage that the cheap labor of illegals gives them. The problem is that costs too many other Americans their livelyhood and tax dollars. It destroys the fabric of our nation and for what so somebody can hire an inexpensive landscaper to mow their lawn.
