This is not right!

[pipejockey]

I think the INS should have been out in full force arresting anyone who could not show a government issue ID. Give them a few days while they are in jail to provide proof of their citizenship, if not, then back to Mexico or wherever else their country of origin is.

You know it's not the 1800's or early 1900's when this country needed people in it to grow it into a prosperous nation. We now have 300 million people in this country not including all the illegals so my question is when do we close the floodgates, illegal or legal it doesn't matter. Shut the doors.

Population growth is an exponential curve. Take a look at it and tell me how long this world has for people to live as well off as they live now, consuming the natural resources at the pace we now consume them. It can't be sustained and something needs to be done! The first thing is to protect our borders and end immigration except for those foreigners that come here for the best education at our best colleges and wish to use their newfound education and intellect to better the good ole US of A. Not these clowns that flood over and the best they can provide us is cheap labor!

Personally I think the US Military should be dispatched to the border with orders to shoot to kill anyone attempting to cross illegally into the country. I pay a lot in tax dollars for all these tanks, planes, and soldiers to defend me it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to not be using them. Circle a couple AC-130’s on the northern and southern borders every night and we will achieve much better results then any wall we build will.

Also this constant banter of the economic effects of getting rid of illegal labor is silly as well. Yes costs on some goods will go up because we will have to pay a higher wage to American workers. Tax revenues though will go up because these workers will pay taxes and government spending will decrease (or more then likely be spent elsewhere because we never spend less) because all the benefits we provide illegal aliens such as schooling, medical, etc. will be eliminated. Not to mention we will keep roughly $200B a year in the US as opposed to exporting it to Mexico.

If illegal aliens want to march in protest I suggest they start marching in the capitals of whatever country they are from getting those governments to reform politically and economically so they don’t have to flee. To the point of the lunatic comparing this to the Revolutionary War, the Colonists didn’t pick up and leave America for another country and expect that country to change to their vision; they stayed in their land and created change through revolution.

It's too far gone already. As usual the country has waited too late to change anything. Better learn to hablo espanol.
But DO NOT sing me the national anthem in any language but English!

End birthright citizenship!

National language now!

BINGO!

Now add to that NO social security, medicare, welfare, or unemployment benefits for immigrants. Possibly given if you serve in the military.

Visiting? Sure, I'll try to help if you don't speak English.

Wanna live here? Learn the fu*king language.

...now where did I leave my MP5?

I'd give a lot of money for one of those, they look SWEET!

Until then I'll have to make due with my HK and 12 gauge.

Boris, please link a VALID NEWS SOURCE which verifies any government take-back of land in Mexico from individual personal ownership unless a crime was involved.

Along with those mexican illegals that i'll bring back, i'll also bring back the lega limmigrants, the Irish, Italian, Brits etc.

Sadly, I don't think you are comprehending the issue. The Irish, Italians, Brits etc. are here legally, they did things the right way. Just like there are millions of of others who did, including mexicans. That isn't the issue, the issue isn't even immigration, the real issue is illegals who comes across our border by the hundreds every day.

The illegals here are not going home willingly and because of the lack of opportunities south of the border, they will continue to come. Now, you can be a proud mexican all you want, but you should work to fix the problem in your own country, before you start berating ours.

As for your opinion that the Mexican economy will do just fine without the US, I think you may need to investigate that issue further!

"In Mexico, federal officials tried to distance themselves from the events. But at least a half-dozen state governors endorsed the boycott of U.S. companies.

Masked Zapatista rebel leader Subcomandante Marcos told a rally of about 2,000 supporters outside the U.S. Embassy that immigrants in the United States are "fighting in the belly of the beast."

Shying away from the truth, the sign of another closed minded consertative.

You must be out of your stinking mind! It's the fluffy hearted liberals who want to give our country and our heritage to everyone who is too LAZY to absorb. Do the Asians demand we speak Japanese, Chinese or tagalog? Do you have to press "1" for English or "2" for Italian? Do you get the point now, professor? Oh and BTW...learn to spell "conservative"...it would add a LITTLE intelligence to your post.
Oh and BTW, why do ILLEGALS get in-state tuition in Arizona? One word....LIBERALS!

I think were getting way ahead, and really speculating on something we all now is not going to happen, there is to much at stake, including politics. The real issue that brought all of this into the spotlights is a series of factors that do not involve something that has been going on since forever, that being illegal immigration. There are issues overseas that you have to settle fast, and diverting attention to these illegals is a perfect way to justify something that is not just, to millions around the world.
Instead of focusing your attention to these illegals, that build your freeways, hotels, houses and pick those tomatoes, turn and look at your W-2's and see what your really paying taxes for. An unjust invasion of the middle east comes to mind. Trillions spent and still counting, you will be paying that forever, your kids also.
So, while I so agree that we have got alot of issue to settle down south, like reforming various institutions within our government, i do believe we are making some steps forward. Unfortunantely, for us we are neighbors to the most powerful country in the world and that could be one of our major obstacles.

The US gave Mexico NAFTA, the fact that nobody in your backward country can run a business isn't the fault of the US; it is the fault of Mexicans.

The worst things about being American is I can't blame somebody else for my problems. If only I were Canadian then I could say the reason my life sucks is because of the US, then I could sleep at nights knowing that all my failings were the result of things out of my control.

We should seal the borders and only allow hot women under the age of 30 from the Czech Republic in to the United States. That would be my platform if running for office.

I'll second that!

 

[Jim Smyth]

Personally I am getting sick of people not being able to understand English in this country. All the signs and instructions being printed in Spanish is getting real old! Enough is enough! This is America. You want to live and work here do things legally and learn to read, write and speak the English language!

Make it a $100,000 dollar fine for every employer that gets caught with an Illegal worker. The rest would take care of itself!

 

[Four Strings]

My 2 cents.

Anyone that did not show up for work to attend a "rally" should be fired. How many of these illigals do you think lost a job for not showing up to work because they were busy protesting? I bet not many. Why? Because the companies that employ them love making money hand over fist off of the backs of cheap labor. Sound familiar to anyone in airline world? When CEO's stop making 89 times that of the average worker there might be enough money left over for every person in america to work for a fair wage (immigrants included) . I think we all should have stayed home that day.

I hope the American Indians don't get a wiff of this since the whole country illegally immigranted on to their lands!

 

[Phaedrus]

since the whole country illegally immigranted on to their lands!

You're mistaken on this one. We didn't immigrant (sic) on to their lands! We took it away from them. Big difference. Mean? Imperialistic? Selfish? Take a look at history. It's no tea party. Meanwhile I'm sure there were land grabs in our peaceful new world before we ever got here. It's the sad way that we are.
