FREEDOM, as proclaimed by Americans, is represented by the statue of liberty located in New York the city that practically gave birth to this country when countless of immigrants came into this land we call America, why do they hate the frech? When they gave them the gift of "Lady Liberty".

Do you realize we are fighting two wars? The media is so caught up in the cost of the Iraq war that they (deliberately?) do not report the greater cost of illegals who are invading our country, who are murdering our citizens, who are raping our children, who are stealing our identities....what good will it do to "save" the world and "lose" our own nation?

Legalize Prostitution?
1. They do jobs many won't do
2. They're just trying to make a better life in America
3. They love America and it's laws, but it's sooo hard to work legally and still live
4. America couldn't run without these women (and men) on their backs!
5. It's America's fault that they are prostitutes! America makes them illegal. America fines and imprisons them for doing illegal activities. But then they are back on the street the next day. So obviously the people in power want prostitutes. Don't blame the ho, blame the rich 'John' paying for her/him!

Feel people should obey the laws of the country they so want to enter?

Feel they should learn the language?

Agree that living here is not a human tright, but a priviledge?

Tired of immegrants that expect us to adapt to them? then call us racist if we question this?

Tired of seeing them wave foreign flags here?

Note: this question concerns law, not race, get it?

We should also make Spanish a national language, and force all Americans to pay their way in and learn Spanish. That's what I think.

P.S. Just kidding.

Local illegal immigration laws draw a diverse group of cities

By: DAVID FRIED - Staff Writer

ESCONDIDO ---- When a City Council majority voted last month to draft an ordinance banning illegal immigrants from renting in the city, Escondido joined a diverse bunch of 30 small towns and midsize cities around the country that have considered, and in some cases passed, similar local legislation.

There are industrial cities in the Northeast, rural towns that barely stand out on a map, and growing metropolitan suburbs in 13 states that have all looked at doing what Escondido has proposed, fining landlords for renting to undocumented immigrants.

Most of the towns and cities also want to prohibit business licenses for companies that hire undocumented workers, and make English the official language of local government.


Try to determine a common denominator among the cities, however, and there is only one: Joseph Turner, the founder of Save Our State, an anti-illegal immigration group that tried to drum up support for a similar initiative he wrote.

Turner's efforts in his hometown failed earlier this year. But the 29-year-old activist from San Bernardino said that, despite his initial setback, everything is going to plan.

"Without a doubt, I was trying to franchise an idea, a cookie-cutter," Turner said in a recent interview.

Spontaneous combustion


Turner said he was sure that his initiative would tap into what he described as a growing sense of frustration with the federal government's handling of illegal immigration. Many people on various sides of the issue share this view.

An estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States, according to a study by the Pew Hispanic Research Center in Washington, D.C. And efforts to reform the country's immigration laws have been mired in political debate for most of this year.

Many residents in cities around the country, he said, are upset about overcrowded schools, high crime rates and other ills they attribute to illegal immigration.

Passing local legislation was the logical next step, Turner said.

"I believe history will show that taking it to the local level will have a profound impact on this debate," Turner said, adding that he did not anticipate how quickly the "spontaneous combustion" of copycat ordinances would crop up.

Some critics of the ordinances ---- including civil rights groups ---- say that the rapid spread of Turner's idea is more knee-jerk reaction than thoughtful response to community problems.

Feather in the cap


So far, five cities have passed laws similar to Turner's initial proposal, including Hazleton, Pa., and two of its neighboring towns, Valley Park, Mo., and the industrial commuter town of Riverside, N.J. And nearby, Vista recently passed a law requiring individuals to register with the city before hiring day laborers.

Not every city that looks at an ordinance passes one, however. Cities such as Avon Park, Fla., and Huntsville, Ala., have swatted down proposals from some council members, or simply postponed indefinitely any discussion.

In many ways, Escondido could stand out among the crowd of local immigration legislation, if an ordinance passes when it comes before the council this fall.

Located just 45 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, Escondido would be the first California city to adopt part of Turner's initiative.

And with 133,000 residents, it would also be the largest city, and the one with the largest Latino population of any town, to follow Turner's lead.

Over the last decade, Escondido's Latino population has swelled significantly, from about 16 percent in 1990 to 44.5 percent in 2005, according a recent survey by the U.S. Census, which provides annual demographic updates for cities with populations over 100,000.

A recent city-sponsored survey of the Mission Park area in the city's core found that, of the 16,000 residents in the 1 1/2-square-mile area, the majority were born in other countries, especially Mexico. And 66 percent self-reported speaking primarily Spanish.

Such figures are not lost on Turner, who characterized Escondido as the next big step in his vision of communities around the country writing their own, stricter immigration laws, until Congress follows their lead.

"Escondido would be a huge feather in the cap," Turner said.

'Preventative maintenance'


Nevertheless, Turner's initiative has already taken root in a diverse range of places.

In many ways, Hazleton has led the charge. In June, it passed a broad ordinance aimed at squashing work and living opportunities for what some community members characterized as a growing population of illegal immigrants in the 31,000-resident town.

The Pennsylvania city's law denies business licenses to companies that hire undocumented workers, establishes English as the town's official language and ---- similar to the proposal in Escondido ---- fines landlords up to $1,000 for renting their property to illegal immigrants.

Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have already filed lawsuits trying to overturn Hazleton's law. On Friday, Hazleton agreed to delay enforcing the new law while city officials draft a replacement version they said would better withstand court challenges.

The initial draft of Hazleton's ordinance copied Turner's own initiative nearly word-for-word, he said. The final version was later modified somewhat, but retained the basic concepts and penalties proposed in Turner's version.

The former coal-mining city's efforts paved the way for a slew of similar proposals in 10 other Pennsylvania towns, many with populations of less than 5,000, with few Latinos and even fewer residents born outside the U.S., according to 2000 U.S. Census data.

Some larger cities, such as Allentown, Pa., have also started considering their own illegal immigration laws.

But in corners around the country, small cities such as Arcadia, Wis., a rural town of 2,400 with a Latino population of 3 percent, have also followed step. Arcadia Mayor John Kimmel recently wrote a newspaper column promising stiff consequences for those who employ or rent to illegal immigrants.

"They are not welcome here," Kimmel's article stated.

And in Valley Park, which in July passed an ordinance nearly identical to Hazleton's, the mayor has described the new law to local media as "preventative maintenance" for the suburb of 6,500 residents located about a 20-mile drive from St. Louis.

The make it sound like they are doing charity work, for the U.S. , the reason they are doing it is for the cash, pure and simple.

Illegals are destroying our country, stop the hatred and destruction and just return home.

i of course not saying that Americans are not important but if u for example have : 12 waiters , 2 cooks , 2 dish washers and the 2 cooks and the 2 dish washers are undocumented and had been working for long at that restaurant ( like most undocumented workers usually do )it is obvious that those 4 workers are essencial for that restaurant and in many cases they may be the only ones able to train anyone who may want to work at those possitions . this esenary repeats in many places from the east to west of America .

now think about the impact this would have in your food , do u want to eat bad food ???

how many Americans would lose their jobs as waiters or as waitresses ???
how many restaurants would close ???


if u think there would be a re-adjustment think in what would this waiters and waitresses would come back to do instead of what they used to do after the adjustment , many would not comeback to be waiters or waitresses would they ???

I'm in the West Virginia Army National Guard. I have a lot of friends down on the border patrol mission right now. I have seen a lot of comments from people, especially on here, stating that the Minuteman on the border were a bunch of racists. How can that be? They are only doing their job, and following orders. Simply put, they are stopping people from illegally coming across the border. How can that be racist?

boy with an American Flag got into a scuffle with someone and when the cops tried to stop him he pushed the cop and yanked the flag from the white cop who had taken it in the scuffle, the cop then talked to him calmly and took him put his hand on his shoulder and walked with him briefly and left.

What the phuk is wrong with this picture, if a Mexican would have pushed and yanked the flag from a cop he would have been rushed by 10 police with batons?
