Immigration - June 2007

I'm against amnesty too and I agree we have to defend the borders. There are provisions in the bill to do all that and I would support wording that "made" Homeland Security spend the money only for that but we do have 12 Million Illegals here right now. How do we solve that problem? How would you get them out of the country?

I am not a immigrant, I was BORN here in United States of America so that makes me AMERICAN. If I was born in Russia and applied to live here in the United States I would be a legal Immigrant. If I was born in Mexico and snuck across the border illegally than I am an illegal immigrant. My question is why do the pro illegals use the argument of "we are all immigrants"? My ancestors were, but they were legal why can't they see there is a difference?

USA is facing a huge problem about the immigration.
I have an idea about it don't know how is sounds.
Instead of giving away the illegal people citizenship so easily why don't we do it in a tough way.
1) first of all give them a visa status (like Visa Z) so that they can be a part of the system
2) then they pay say 30-40% of tax on their income, so that will help us to recover money lost in war
3) to catch all the illegal immigrants what we do is make a law that if someone catches a illegal immigrant working in company, company pays fine 5 times that income of that person and the informant get money equal to that illegal immigrant`s salary.
4) also do the same policy for the banks so that this illegal immigrants stop hiding their money over there
5) now comes the most important part, this guys with Visa Z or any status that they are given should wait for 10 yrs. as punishment before they apply for legal permanent resident.

Why is it Whenever an American says "We should Control our borders" They're branded a Racist?
I have heard to many people say "It is because people in America are un-willing to take those job. I say "Yes, We're unwilling to take those jobs because we can't afford to feed a family and provide a house for what those people that break the law to get into our country can." What people dont understand is that people that break into our country work for very little and live hundreds of people to onew house I want my own House I am an American. I am not planning on when I make enough money in America to run back home and live like a King or queen. Come on Wake up I am not a racist I Believe that there is a right and a wrong way to do things lets start making people follow the rules. People say "But we are a Country of immigrants. I say "Yes, We are a country of immigrants and many millions of those immigrants followed what rules were in place when they came to America now we Have a now former President of saying to America " You must open your borders to my people."

I keep hearing senators talk about how its not amnesty because people here illegally have to wait till the triggers are in place before they can get citizenship. However, after 24 hours of the bill being signed everyone who is in the US illegally gets to stay here forever.

If they learned the lessons the the last "one time amnesty", then why do they give amnesty first again? Why not build the wall, get enough agents to secure the border, get the interior enforcement and control of the backlogs and visa system in place first? Why not abolish the anchor baby policy and get a way to match Americans to unfilled jobs, so we can implement and determine if we need to implement a temorary worker program?

I also don't understand why an amnendment to bar sex offenders and violent felons from staying here failed. What exactly are the senators thinking?

All I ever hear is how hard working the Hispanics are. And I agree to a point. I have worked with all the races during my lifetime, and the Asians work the hardest, and want to succeed the most. I worked with several Vietnamese and they would work 3 jobs if they could. They are a smart people. I lived in an area where there are many Asians, and the majority of them worked their rear ends off. Polite, learned English and assimilated. Very successful. I don't see this with the illegal immigrants. What is your experience?

People that come to the USA To Work are for the most part from Third world Economies...Like Mexico for example..and much of South America..many of those who come are poorly educated..and seek to better themselves...financially but then dont we all? It has been estimated that there are 12 million Illegals in the U.S. that could be granted Pardons for Thumbing their Noses at American Immigration Laws...for years and repeatedly...With that 12 million also comes viewpoints and value systems that are Alien for the most part,,to Traditional American culture...The rule of Law...holds the American Society together...without it we would devolve into the same type societies...from which these people are trying to run away from.

Let's face it, Bush's record on enforcing our immigration laws is pathetic. Why should we believe that he will suddenly start prosecuting employers of illegal aliens, deporting illegal aliens, and complete building the border fence if the Shamnesty bill becomes law?

Two illegal aliens, Ralphel, and Enrico, probably believed they would easily overpower a home alone 11 year old Patricia after her father had left their two story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things, they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Ralphel was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buck shot from the 11 year olds knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When Enrico ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Ralphel was armed with a stolen .45 that he took from another home where he stabbed the owner to death

It appears that Democrat Harry Reid is using a gambit known as a 'clay pigeon' to slip through legalization for over 12 million illegal immigrants. Why won't our so-called 'representatives' listen to law-abiding American citizens?

...people keep calling babies born of illegal parents "anchors"?

the children themselves never did anyone any harm, and yet they are designated with such an evil term.

i hear people want to alter the 14th amendment. well, according to the amendment itself, no state has the right to deprive anyone of its privileges

when we're talking about border-crossing, the law is golden, but when it comes to the 14th amendment, its a different story? come on people!

We're overstressed--DIS eased and do not spend enough time with our children. Elected legislators take off over 40 days, soo Let's change our needed and REQUIRED vacation days to at least 5 more added to EVERYONE's work load. I'm a sub and only get paid for days I work, but my husband works his tail off and gets a puny 10 days off work a year. We're all too workaholic.

"Though senators and advocates supporting reform are being careful to avoid calling any measure a "poison pill," the list appears to be problematic enough that Senate leaders are at least considering employing the rare tactic of packaging amendments to avoid losing critical support and votes.

Under the procedure, Reid would introduce a single, 22-part amendment, dividable into component parts for debate. Known as a "clay pigeon," it would offer the bill's supporters a means of staging the debate more or less free from interference, with the objective of keeping enough senators together to maintain the 60 votes needed to thwart a filibuster. "

What do you think?

Please read the article in the link provided and give me an honest opinion. Please read the full article and if you still believe that illegal immigrants are indispensable to this country, please give me your opinions. I don't agree that we should allow illegals to be in this country. I don't know how, I don't have the answer but their countries need to figure out a way to keep their citizens in their country.
