Just because i do NOT think criminal behavior should be REWARDED by amnesty?? Just because i do NOT agree to give illegals a "free ride" (and YES,i've heard it all before,how Americans break our laws,and live off welfare!! I do not agree with that EITHER,but we can not deport them,because they ARE legal citizens) several of you on here,resort to name calling!

Can we NOT have our own opinions,without being called nasty names!! I will agree with you,if you say that i am very anti-ILLEGAL (key word is illegal).i will agree with you,if you say,that i do NOT like moochers of ANY nationality! But,if you are going to keep calling me a "racist",then i will have to DISAGREE! I have friends and relatives who are mexican,but they came here legally,they do NOT get welfare,and never have. They work and pay taxes, They have the COURTESY to speak English when they are around others who do not understand spanish! And they have NEVER demanded that they be given "rights'.

International students, who come from other countries, study in the U.S. The tuition is so expensive. The tuition between international student and citizenship is so different. It's like 5 times citizenship's tuition.

someone posted an article on corporate fraud, or fraud that are more costly to the economy than illegals.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhtxVb4z_6jo167No21NZlvsy6IX?qid=20060618133407AAWZz4E

This seem to be only the tip of the iceberg of fraud, as always the us republican propaganda as always been to blame the victim instead of the guilty.. Illegals are victim of nafta..

Is this the american way to blame the victim for its own actions?
is it the american way to be a suckhole of whatever the president say ?

A.P. says illegal immigration costs strain national parks! "Drug smugglers fleeing mexican police,crossed into the desert park,and FATALLY shot a ranger four years ago, prompting officials to build a 30 mile vehicle barrier". While this stops most cars from speeding in from mexico,drug and human smugglers have switched to rural entryways into Az." "Thousands of illegals cross on foot,leaving behind piles of trash,they build fires,damaging the parks famous cacti,and create countless trails through the desert vegetation." "Since 2001,the park service has received $35 million dollars for new homeland security responsibilities for national icons such as the park. "They also received a one-time payment $91 million dollars for national icons, and,the cost of the barrier for organ pipe was $18 million! A WASTE of money that could have been used for better purposes,of not for all the ILLEGALS!

I know some churches do. And I wouldn't trust the government. And I want to help here first sorry no room for more until then.
But I don't see groups (nice big ones) getting Clothes drives and Misc bandages, soaps and health needs, cleaning aids (personal). Self survival tools-goats, pigs, chickens ect. Books (many hard times books and enough do know how to read and many are in Spanish).

No reason with as many here who support them that this could not be done in big time way. (better than protests to me)

I feel they do need survival skills.
So why are there not more of these groups in a big way, California alone could do much--and in a real big way.??

A Short List of Bush Crimes
I like this letter writer's succinct litany of the Bushian crimes:
To the Editor:

"At White House, a Day of Silence on Role of Rove" (front page, July 12) reveals another example of the despicable conduct of high officials in the Bush White House.

First, they fixed the intelligence and facts to further their agenda for war. Then they punished patriotic public servants who disagreed with them, including Gen. Eric K. Shinseki; Paul H. O'Neill, the former Treasury secretary; and Richard A. Clarke, a former counterterrorism official.

Then they attacked Iraq without provocation, killing tens of thousands of people who did us no harm and posed us no danger.

Finally, in violation of signed treaties and contrary to long-held values, they besmirched the moral authority of our country by approving, justifying and carrying out torture.

Not since the days of Richard M. Nixon has the White House been in the hands of such dishonorable people.
THE INFAMY

We’re talking impeachable crimes, here. We’re talking high crimes and misdemeanors. We’re talking about conspiracy and murder. We’re talking about war crimes and crimes against humanity. We’re talking about deception and manipulation. We have the proof and we know whodunit. We even have public confessions but the American news media is so obviously complicit in the crimes and coverups that people don’t even worry about confessing in public any more! And there is nothing at all we can do about it.

We have all the evidence we need to indict the criminals. We even have the smoking gun. In fact, we have a whole slew of smoking guns. We have mounds of testimony and videos, memos and public statements. We have lines of witnesses and experts, photos and newsreels. We have everything we need to charge those at the helm of our government with some of the most heinous acts in our nation’s history. And yet, they all will get off scot-free, without facing a single charge against them.

Despite the mounds of damning evidence, no one in any official capacity has dared to point a finger of guilt against George Bush, Dick Cheney, or anyone else in their cadre of criminal collaborators. The few voices that dared to question the legality of administrative policies during the past four years have been muted or rendered impotent. Those who have outlined a clear case for impeachment have been ignored at best, and ridiculed at worst.

And the vile criminals who comprise the American news media, in their unabashed complicity, have refused to publicize the concerns of those who understand the crimes that have been committed. In their need to please their corporate masters and advertisers, the media have joined those who jeer at dissenters and call ‘conspiracy theorists.’

In no other time have criminals at the very highest levels of the American government been allowed to get away with such transgressions. At no other time has evidence of guilt been so blatantly ignored and unreported by the media. And at no other time in recent history, have the crimes of an American president been so defended, rationalized and justified.

Why do they allow their children to cross the border with strangers, ie. Coyotes? Is it worth it to endanger their children? If a legal Citizen did something similar, they would be in jail and their children would be in foster care.

But, I am learning from them, and I as an American that despises Racism, and Illegal Immigration am screaming back.
I have had enough of both of you. My family has suffered enough because of the both of you. How do you think that I feel, I am a white Indian, with a White Mexican Indian husband.
America stuff the excuses, and stand up for what is right or face the Ancestors of America Home Of The Free.
There are many more of us than you know. Just because we have been sitting by watching things unfold, studying where we need to strengthen our defense, and preparing for battle as our heritage dicates in The Declaration of Independence, doesn't mean that we are not here, just like the illegal immigrants, and racists. We are a peacefull people, but we will defend ourselves.
So, to our enemies I say beware, on American soil. Here Americans defend Americans, and have great support from the people, not like our international wars.

Americans are Not Racists. There are racist groups in America, but most Americans are not racist, and those that live here for more than two, to three generations are not racist.
Most Americans teach their children to have respect for all nations, that is why Americans donate billions of dollars to countries that claim they are in need. Spend even more billions in taxes, to sponsor the cost of immigration, and to teach immigrants what they need to know to survive in America. If all Americans are deemed racist by the small population of Racists in our country, then every Mexican, Indonisian, African, and so on can be, and will be judged by the actions of the worst. I do not believe all Mexicans are bad, my husband is a third born generation American Mexican, and he would never put Mexico before America. I choose to begin with the greatest offenders of our border laws, and that has nothing to do with race. Stand Tall Americans, Don't be Bullied by those that oppose truth.

one for illegal immigrants?
My personal experience has seen a person who has no ID, no proof of insurance, no current car registration, speaks little English; crash into a fence and leave the scene without saying anything to property owner after doing approx $1,000 worth of damage to the fence. When the owner, by chance found the culprit, he admitted the wrong doing to the police but couldn't/ wouldn't pay for the damage. The police say they can't do anything. The insurance co says that to process the claim for the damage would make it neccessary to raise their premiums. What would happen if YOU had been the "fence breaker"? Jail? Civil suit for damages? Car being impounded for no reg? Being imprisoned for hit and run/leaving the scene of an accident?
Is this fair ... or is it a double standard?

I am not racist by any means. I am a tenth generation American, with an extensive heritage blending for more than two hundred years.
Illegal Immigration is not about Racism, Americans are Americans no matter your previous homeland was, or your color.
However, proper immigration is about respecting our laws, and protecting the citizens you want to welcome you.
The only people that will call you racist, are those that do not want you to stand up and fight against them.
They know as well as anyone else, Illegal Immigration is the greatest danger to America, and they will use fear of a back lask on the greatest offenders, and call it racism, in a lame attempt to stop you. it won't work with me, besides I don't know an American of any color that has not been called racist, at one time another.
Illegal Mexican Imm. and Mexican Americans are the only ones screaming it about race, and by the millions that took to the streets to defy us. It didn't shut down the counrty, or me.

I know a guy that is here ilegally, he has 2 jobs, he pays $60 in taxes a week in the first one and $40 in the second income tax. He also pays personal property tax and sales tax. He does not recieve government money. He went to the ER twice and both times paid his bill in full. So why are people saying that illegal immigrants do not contribute to the economy?

Some would agrue that if illegal immigration is not stopped or seriously curtailed soon, it will be the end of the USA culture as we now know it.
I also might add, that many would argue that the illegal immigrants that come to this country, are here due to life or death scenarios in their lives "as they see it". If illegals are that desperate, what other measure, can we take to ensure the lawful integrity of our country, laws and culture? Life and death means: We die and they LIVE or They Die and We LIVE. Which would you pick as an American (or as an Illegal immigrant?)

Why do I have to pay taxes so that illegal immigrant's children get to go to school to become bi-linguel while my children do not? I asked if my children and I could sit in on the FREE classes (that are taught in our children's public school) (Free to illegals that is) that teach English to Spanish speakers, so that we could learn Spanish so that it would be a fair opportunity in my kids getting a job. I was told NO. I wouold have to find some classes elsewhere like the college (AND PAY FOR IT) BUT my kids are only 7 and 14! Besides that the college doesn't teach THAT lind of Spanish that the illegals speak. So why am I paying for their free English classes?

According to the statistics I got from here:

http://www.morganquitno.com/cit06pop.htm#500,000+

Two of the top 10 SAFEST cities (over 500,000 people) to live in are actually on the border with Mexico (El Paso & San Diego). 2 more (San Antonio & Austin) are less than 4 hours from the border with Mexico.

Contrast that with the most dangerous places to live and you find that the most dangerous place to live is actually on the CANADIAN border (Detroit).

I have a real hard time buying the case that these workers negatively impact the crime rate when I see numbers like this.

It will take time to find and remove the illegal elements that have swarmed into our country to date. How shall we find and remove them?
These Illegals would possibly be foolish enough to try and return again; how should we stop these attempts and what penalties should they face if they continue to persist?
Draconian as it might seem, why shouldn't we use land mines along our borders to ensure that people don't sneak across our borders? This issue is ultimately a life and death issue. The life or death of this country. Why shouldn't we be able to use deadly force against those who would violate our laws, steal from us unabashidly and take over our country? Truly this is the issue here. These folks don't take no for an answer and repeatedly return, knowing full well they might get caught and sent back. Only life or freedom threatening solutions may get their attention. Can we afford to incarcerate millions? No! But land mines will simply, cheaply and easily end this border issue.
