"Republican leaders have decided to stick with a hard-line stance on immigration, sucking the wind out of prospects for major reform before Election Day.
After inching toward a compromise on a Senate bill that would offer a long-term path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants, House GOP leaders have reversed course in recent days.

They watched how Republican Brian Bilbray narrowly defeated Democrat Francine Busby on June 6 for the 50th Congressional District seat after calling for construction of a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border and began weighing their own popularity.

“It's hardened sentiment among House Republicans that they should insist on a border enforcement-only bill,” said Thomas Mann, congressional scholar at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, D.C."

A voter's referendum and a city ordinance are proposed to punish landlords who rent to illegal immigrants, revoke the business permits of for-profit entities that employ illegal immigrants and make English the “official” city language.

What do you think?

This is a man who works on my parents ranch. I know that he is padding is hours, stealing small things like towels, purchases things for himself when given credit to purchase items for the ranch and uses the facilities like his personal playground. He has also been inappropriate and even belligerent in his behavior towards me. My parents are older and need help, but they need a catalyst to get rid him and find someone honest. They feel trapped and I'm trying to help them.

"Cornyn said the government has only 90 full-time immigration agents focusing on workplace violations nationwide and that it is "no wonder that many Americans are skeptical about how serious the federal government is about enforcing its own laws." The number of work site arrests dropped from 2,849 in 1999 to just 159 in 2004, he said.

"The American people feel like they were scammed" in the last immigration reform, Cornyn said. "If we're going to effectively solve this problem, we're going to have to regain their confidence."

Scammed, is that how you feel?

I know that we could never totally end illegal immigration, but with troops on the borders and stronger persecution of illegals within the country, I believe we could cut it by 80% in ten years.

What would the result be within Mexico if they couldn't flood people into our country. I believe the result would be positive. Mexicans would be forced to face the sorry state of affair in their country and do something about it. If the elites knew that the poorest and most desperate in their country could not go elsewhere, they would be forced to attend to their needs, instead of ignoring them. Sure there would be some turmoil, maybe even a non-violent revoltuion, but I believe the results would be positive.

Senate bill 160 wants to allow financial aid for non-resident students. Please note that the term "non-resident" includes illegal aliens.

FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Senate Appropriations Committee, the annual cost is estimated to be $2.1 million at CSU to serve an estimated 1,080 students, and $1.1 million at UC to serve an estimated 540 students.

Therefore, approximately $3.2 million per year to help about 1620 illegal alien students go to California universities.

Do you support this?

I keep hearing people say that they dont appose immigration as long as its not illegal immigration, then they say were lazy and dont want to do all the paper work and pay fines dont you ignorant people know that if it was that easy there would be no illegals? u basically gotta be rich or marry a u.s citizen to be able to come legally and the rich people got no reason to come since they got money already the people coming are the poor ones which again dont qualify to come to the u.s .Im sure they could borrow the money for the fine and take time to apply but they just dont qualify so stop acting like you just have to go and fill out some papers and pay a fine and ur set.

I've been married to someone who I believed loved me. Over the last 2 years I found out that my spouse has cheated, lied, refused to live with me, started verbally abusing me and told me that he only married me to get his papers. My spouse is an immigrant and I am the sponsor. I decided I can't trust my spouse and now want out of the marriage. What can I do???

By law children born in this country are citizens. (All the anti-amnesty politicians claim to be strong law and order supporters). If their parents are here illegally and you deport the parents what happens to their children? Do you effectively deport a US citizen? Or do you separate the family? (I think all the anti-amnesty politicians claim to be staunchly pro-family).

I don't have a good answer. Maybe we should change the laws. But we can't retroactively revoke the citizenship of these children. So that alone can't solve this issue.
