It doesn't seem like there is any direct threat to their way of life. This is not a rhetorical question. I really want to know.

In New Haven, CT they are issuing ID cards to illegal immigrants so they can use all the public services setup for American citizens. Is this the first step in amnesty?

I don't think illegals should receive anything the same as we do. I know they are human beings, but they are sucking our services and resources dry that are meant for citizens

Explaination: Who would be hurt if anyone by implementing a National Language?Or would it be beneficial for all new immigrants and citizens to have 1 language to bind them and give them a common factor?
A National Language doesn't mean other languages are banned.People would still be able to speak and enjoy their original cultures.We would just have 1 common language utilized as a common denominator in the wide variety of cultures we enjoy as a Nation.

I don't understand why you are called anti immigrant or worse if you want illegal immigration stopped and legal immigration slowed down. I don't have any problem with anyone no matter where they are from. The problem I have is with the sheer number of people coming in, and the fact that we don't have the ability to take care of all of them.

In other words, I really like all animals, especially cats and dogs, but I only have 1 dog and 2 cats because I don't have the time or resources to take care of many more. If someone wanted me to have 20,000 pets in my home, I would tell them no. Would that make me anti pet, or if all the pets were cats would I be anti cat and accused of anti cat bigotry and told I just don't like cats?

Its the same thing now with immigration. I think its fine as long as the numbers are manageable, and if there is some diversity in the group. I don't like have 80% from one area and the fact that there are so many its overwhleming the country.

Initially, we watched millions of illegals and hispanics with Mexican and other Latin American flags. Some had bad attitudes and clenched hands as if to provoke Americans to their plight. Many demonstrations were not planned and done in poor taste. They were abrupt and interfered with schools and law abiding communities.

We watched in disbelief as they screamed Viva Mexico! This was supposed to have won us over, of course. After the fact, hispanic and latin politicians and other racial groups started demanding that we allow every illegal to stay plus develop a plan to allow others on a work program. If you have 20 million illegals, why do you need more for a work program?

When everything started to simmer down, hispanic editors started writing and calling folk nazis, racist, bigots, and any other negative descriptive word. THE ONLY THING THEY ACCOMPLISHED out of this dog and pony show was to wake a sleepy giant, the American people.

Iran-Mexico-Joint Commission

Iran and Mexico reached an agreement to set up a joint economic commission next year.

In a meeting between Iran's new Ambassador to Mexico Mohammad Hassan Qadiri-Abyaneh with Mexican Deputy Foreign Minister Lurdes de Aranda the agreement was achieved.

Qadiri also invited Mexico to attend the Non-Aligned Movement foreign ministers meeting in Tehran on human rights and cultural diversities.

Iran's plenipotentiary and extraordinary ambassador to Mexico expounded on Tehran stances on regional issues, especially Iraq and the results of Iran-USA negotiations about Iraq security and said Islamic Republic of Iran policy is to support national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Iraq.

Mexico deputy FM, for her part, said her country's policy is to support peace, security and independence of the countries and has always defended negotiation and dialogue as a way to solve disputes between the countries.

The Mexican senior diplomat also expressed her country's readiness to expand ties with Iran especially in cultural and economic fields.http://www2.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-22/0707225493010242.htm

Just a reminder to those U.S. Citizens unfamiliar with American history and relations with Mexico....Mexico has never, never been our friend. They tolerate us because they need us but their history of envy, hate and malfeasance has continued prior to the Texas Republic. It will continue as long as the arrogant elites of that country keep true democracy at bay and keep it’s people in abject poverty. Too bad we can’t (or won’t) effectively support a true overthrow of that country’s corrupt oligarchy. Not only do they send us their illegals but make a fortune sending drugs into the U.S. to poison our people, create immense levels of related crimes and fill our prisons with the offenders. Thank you Mexico, you’re a wonderful neighbor.

New Have, CT is issuing ID cards to illegals so they can reap the benfits the city has to offer, open bank accounts and be "protected from criminals". See this story:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20070717/ts_csm/anewhaven

So now we are protecting CRIMINALS from CRIMINALS?

If they were smart, as they illegals started coming forward to get their cards, they would toss then in a truck back to wherever they came from.

Why are we allowing US cities to cater to those who break the laws?

Agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection were assaulted by people throwing rocks Sunday during the arrest of two illegal immigrants near the U.S.-Mexico border in San Luis, Ariz.

The rocks failed to strike an agent, but one did shatter the window of a marked Border Patrol vehicle, according to Albert Bosco, public affairs specialist with CBP.

The federal organization reported Monday that its agents working in the Yuma sector have experienced a 43 percent increase in assaults between Oct. 1, 2006, and June 30. A total of 122 incidents were reported during the same period of last fiscal year, compared to this fiscal year's total of 174.

The rocking-throwing incident happened around noon Sunday after agents apprehended two people who had illegally entered the U.S. While agents were taking those people into custody, individuals on the Mexico side of the international boundary fence began throwing rocks toward the agents.

Bosco said the agents were able to leave the area before becoming injured or incurring more damage to their vehicle.

In an unrelated incident later Sunday evening, a trip for a Border Patrol agent to a San Luis gas station ended with the agent helping to nab a man who had allegedly just robbed a woman.

While the agent was fueling his vehicle, a woman approached screaming that she had just been robbed on Main Street, according to an agency news statement.

The agent eventually located the suspect and detained the man. The San Luis Police Department was called and took the suspect into custody.
Wow, they threw rocks? They must have had their feelings hurt in the first place, or they would NEVER have thrown rocks. I bet the BP aggravated them. Maybe they felt threatened. Perhaps the BP guys made faces. Maybe they had their feelings hurt.

Those guys should be getting Instant Amnesty and money from Johnny Sutton

What adjustments are you willing to make in your life so we can elliminate the "need" for the cheap labor done by illegal immigrants?

For example, paying more for produce in the market, cleaning your own house, or paying more for it to be done, willing to live in an older house since the cheap construction workers will be gone, etc. What are you willing to give up?

I personally have no problem paying more for products and services, since the idea of secure borders is important to me, and I also think the bottom line might not be that much worse, considering how much we pay out for illegals to have a free ride on so many aspects of life. I can pay more for lettuce and clean my own toilet if it means our country doesn't turn into a 3rd world country.

Police roadblocks to remove unlicensed drivers challenged From wire service reports

A controversial police technique to remove unlicensed drivers from the roads is being challenged on civil rights grounds, and another federal court decision is expected soon, it was reported today.

Police across California are using temporary roadblocks to find unlicensed drivers, and impound their cars. But Latino rights groups say that practice is discriminatory and aimed at undocumented workers, who are unable to pay for their cars' steep impound fees.

Los Angeles and Orange counties have joined several other agencies in supporting a state law that requires cars driven by unlicensed or uninsured motorists to be impounded on the spot, and towed to a storage yard.

Three civil rights law firms have sued several agencies, including the City of Los Angeles, for impounding cars owned by illegal aliens, who are barred by state law from getting drivers licenses. The suit claims that Latinos are being singled out in an unconstitutional, sweeping move that violates constitutional protections against unreasonable police conduct against all persons, not just U.S. citizens.

``We've heard a lot of complaints from the Latino community,'' said Bill Flores, a San Diego County Latino organizer, in an interview with the Oceanside North County Times. He noted that the impound fees of $1,500 must be added to towing and administrative fees that can go above another $400.

The groups argue that the cars should be parked safely and the motorists cited, so the cases can be heard in court. Some licensed drivers have lost their cars when they could not find their insurance documents at the roadblocks, or if they lent the car to an unlicensed driver, and could not afford to get them out of impound.

But the government attorneys argue that state law is aimed at protecting the public by removing the cars driven by unlicensed, uninsured drivers from the streets immediately. http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/articles/8659077.html
Driving is a privilege, NOT a civil right. If the idiots had such an arguement, all drunk drivers would be released tomorrow.
Guess they Better ban the DUI checkpoints too.
Of course, these laws ONLY apply to law abiding citizens. They don’t apply to anyone else. This may sound twisted, but sadly it seems to be true. Increasingly, there seem to be different sets of laws for different groups.

Stanford Law School's Immigrants Rights Clinic Argues U.S. Immigration Policy Violates International Human Rights Standards
The widespread impact on American families has been truly devastating, said Alison Parker, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch.
The actual law does not give the judges any room for interpretation either the kid is dying or not its the only premise, children that have lived their lives suffer because a flawed immigration law that does not set the rules right from the beggining enforcement is a must, if the law is well written if the US will not grant citicenship to children bron of illeal aliens in the future thats another story and would be fair but what to do with the 3.5 million of american citizens that depend on their parents and families? illegal aliens broke a civil law not criminal law so there is no comparison to children that have parents in jail please avoid that answer...is lame. if canada accepts them how will the US look.
