The Senate just moved to bolster security at US Borders by pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into more patrols,surveilance, flights and sensors to catch illegals sneaking into the country, and have voted to add 700 more miles of fence.

Ok, hypothetical situation. The government grows a pair and gets rid of all the illegals. What part of the economy will collapse? Can someone be specific?

My strawberries may go up by a dollar a pound. My life is ruined. I may have to mow my own lawn. Woe is me.

Our gas prices have doubled in a little over a year and everyone said the economy would collapse. Guess what? Americans adapted.

Maybe the government can take the money they burn on social services to illegals and subsidize the industries that will be affected by the loss of cheap labor.

"Do you think we should do nothing about this illegal immigration problem?". I have to point out a few key points that no one seems to recognize about illegal immigration...

“The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty first, the ‘love of soft living’ and the get-rich-quick-theory of life”---Teddy Roosevelt

"Love of soft living" - with the use of illegal immigrants for cheap part time labor, the middle to upper class Americans and the thinking involved is "it's good for me and it employs needy people as well". This creates a dillusion of Master-servant and is self-destructive at the same time. Remember "All power corrupts".

Judging from what is known throughout history, it is only a matter of time before the servants get tired of thier roles. With that we can logically deduct that eventually the servant will try and overthrow the master. Unfortunately, this is the role of the illegal to... Continued below.

When they get caught entering Mexico illegally? I hear they will do the work Mexicans won't do for less pay.
Do you think they will have a Day without a Guatamalan, in Mexico?

On this side, the most rabid, hateful, racist Minuteman in the USA.
On this side, and average border jumping mexican guy.
A 12 round fight. minuteman wins, the Mexican goes home. Mexican wins, he and his family can stay.

They could air it a reality show on FOX.

Also, have you ever noticed how much "minuteman" looks like "minute (as in tiny) man"?

OK, some people who do not read the Bible, pick a verse out of the air, and use it to attempt to strengthen their viewpoint of illegal immigration.

I am well versed in the Bible, and I can tell you that (a) you are violating God's word to support your agenda, and (b) Jesus specifically talks about mixing religion with politics.

Here's the bottom line - if it doesn't involve God or religion, then you should keep Him out of it.

As Jesus says, "Render what is God's to God and what is Caesar's to Caesar."

If you put God into the mix, YOU, not us, will incur His wrath!

What's your opinion?

I have a feeling if it were lilly white Canadians jumping the border, some of you wouldn't be as passionate about this issue.

Also, some of you noticed that I have an imoster on here. What delicious irony, considering the anti-illegals were just saying that they would NEVER resort to such devious tactics.
OK,

OK, this is a point people make: Illegal immigration is great for the economy.

Now, while the argument that the ends do not justify the means is valid, this argument is an out-and-out LIE by the liberal left to brainwash people into thinking that they should spport lawbreakers.

I am living proof. I own a landscpaing business. I have almost 20 people under me.

NONE of them are illegal immigrants. MANY are LEGAL immigrants.

I refuse to hire people who are not allowed, legally, to work in this country.

Now, my prices are a bit higher, but we do better quality work and as a result, we get many referrals. Also, I pocket less money to treat my workers fairly. Sure, I don't make a HUGE salary, but I make enough to provide for my family.

If EVERY business did this, if EACH owner hired Americans and people who are LEGALLY allowed to work here, think how great this economy could be (and it is good now).

Do you still think we need illegals for our economy???

OK, I just found this out, and many of you are going to love this.

Did you know that if you are an American citizen and you are caught sneaking into Mexico, you can be thrown into jail?

Also, unless you are a lEGAL citizen of Mexico, did you know that you ARE NOT ALLOWED to protest?

OK, now I have heard of everything. Apparently, some people:

(a) did not see the fact that I do support LEGAL immigration
(b) yes, my family came here, but they came here LEGALLY
(c) racist?

OK, here is my analogy.

Let's compare this country of ours to a house. Let's say you had a house.

When you leave your house, do you (a) lock your doors, or (b) leave them wide open, so anyone can enter?

Obviously, the answer is (a). Now, does that make you a racist? Of course not. It makes you a smart person.

So, why should the same rules NOT apply to our country?

OK, I have a question for all of you people who support illegal immigration.

Before I begin, I want to say that I am a big fan of LEGAL immigration. If you pay your dues to get in here, God bless you.

Now then, how do you define the word ILLEGAL?

To me, it means "against the law."

Many of you are missing this point - these ILLEGAL immigrants are breaking the law.

Let's see - rape is illegal. Now, if a person rapes 10 girls, but he is a good person otherwise, does that mean we should look the other way?

Of course not.

Child molestation is illegal. OK, we have a doctor, but he likes to get off on young boys. Should we support him?

Of course not.

Why? Because the activity they are doing is ILLEGAL.

As in, "Against the law."

If these ILLEGAL immigrants were honorable, they wouldn't be breaking the law.

So, for those of you who support illegal immigrants, do you realize that you are supporting lawbreakers?

Well, it seems our beloved Senators don't believer there is enough money in the budget to build a fence ... was just voted down in the Senate ... obviously there isn't enough money in the kitty to protect Americans ... but plenty to wage an illegal war in Iraq ... this from a government who has cut the funding for Homeland Security ... who thinks this administration really does give a fig for what you, American citizen, wants??

Jut think of any word in Spanish and it's English equivalent. You will find that most one syllable words in English have two or three syllables in Spanish. English is very easy to conjugate, and the verbs HAVE NO GENDER. English is the combined art of several languages and many words are Latin based. For those who say English is too difficult to learn, try any Asian or Arabic language. A least, we have our written alphabets in common.

I think people forget that being born in the United States is a privelage, not a right. Anytime I here someone rattling on about how illegals are lowlifes and scum, it makes me angry. These people just want a taste of what we have, and sometimes they have to break our laws to have it.

This question follows the repeated banner seen here by a user for Athorgarak's Presidency, a freemason, minister and minuteman. Aren't the free masons another secret society with racist ideas the same as the LaRaza/Mecha/other political groups? One issue candidate's have never received the support of mainstream America.

In my travels I have noticed something I find odd. I come from St Louis and our hispanic population has grown over the years, we did not always have a large population of spanish-speakers. But when I drive through New Mexico, Texas, even to Chicago, there is a hug divide in the people. The hispanic population and white populations dont seem to interact at all! When I talk to people in Spanish, they think it is the oddest thing in the world, that no white person has ever taken the time to learn it. My question is this:

If there is such a large population of white people and such a large population of hispanic people, why dont they interact more? They seem to know very little about one another. Does it have to do with illegal immigration?
