When you see the chaos in Mexico and the ruin they have caused to their own country why would they benefit America. I am sick of paying for their medical, schooling, extra law enforcement, property taxes for these unwanted step-children who have broken the law.

I realize there is the issue in this country. I hear people talking about themselves and people they love being unable to get a job, or having to lower rates to compete with undocumented. There are people concerned with the education that their children are receiving in our public schools. I have heard concerns about taxes, and, what our taxes pay for. A lot of these things have made me really think about this issue. What I don't understand is the posts as of late that are "hoping" to harm or kill these people. Entire families- or, drivers entering the country (who personally have nothing to do with the new law, and they themselves aren't undocumented). I sympathize and understand the strain that we are going through, but, I am REALLY concerned when I hear people threatening, or, hoping, or "praying" that someone dies.....

Doesn't hate eat up too much of your time and your soul?

Wouldn't it be better to address the law- not some family?

Congress should pass a law giving all illegals in this country 3 months to turn themselves in to a police department of their chosing. They will be arrested and they must plead guilty. In exchange they will be given 2 years probation and must carry a national ID card from now on (one which cannot be forged) They can then stay in this country as long as they have a job and have no prior or new convictions. This is not amnesty since they would be found guilty and they would serve their sentence (probation).

“It’s like a form of terrorism, the fear we are facing. Families today sit around the table not knowing if tomorrow they will be separated or deported,” he said in a statement” :::::: Yeah, it is a tough life when you are a CRIMINAL, ain’t it? Sorry, but the people feeling the “terror” are the REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS who are the victims of the COST, TAXATION, CRIME, DRUGS, SLAVE-TRADE AND DISEASE, to say nothing of our government’s complicity in supporting these CRIMINALS. That is the real terror.
The REAL terrorism is hordes of illegal aliens and Aztlan activists marching and chanting "Viva LaRaza!" in the streets making threats and demands and carrying foreign flags ....When someone says that illegals are acting “Holier than thou” in flouting the law, now they’re actually DOING IT FROM THE PULPIT!
Many people in the Madison area may never get the chance to hear for themselves what the experience of today's immigrant workers is like, says Rabbi Laurie Zimmerman.

Some of them will get that chance this weekend.

"Immigrant Workers in the Pulpit" is bringing local workers to 15 area churches and synagogues to share at worship services their experiences as immigrants on the job.

In a variation on the Interfaith Coalition for Workers Justice of South Central Wisconsin's annual Labor in the Pulpits, the organization is focusing on immigrant workers to give them a voice in the midst of red-hot political controversy over the status of immigrants in the United States.

"This is important because of the tenor in American society," Zimmerman said. "There is such vicious discourse on the immigration issue. It is important for people of faith to hear people who are immigrants and really struggling in society."

Last week in Laredo Texas 3 trucks were found to have large shipments of drugs, 1 truck was hauling a number of illegals and 1 truck was turned back because the driver couldn't read. The scary thing is they claim they can't check but a small percentage of trucks.
Happy NAFTA

In Bedford County, sheriff's deputies have arrested an illegal immigrant for fondling two young girls.

Police say the incidents happened inside a Goodwill store in Forest on Saturday. Employees grew suspicious of the man and then called 911. Police arrested Santos Guzman. He's currently being held at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail facing several charges including fondling two eight-year-olds.

Guzman is from El Salvador and entered the United States illegally in 2004.

The sheriff's department has contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement to find out more information on this man.

The Mexican President shows disappointment in the way the U.S. treats its illegal immigrants and continues to encourage better treatment of said illegals.

Who does this arrogant MOFO think he is asking for the citizens and it's government. They are citizens of Mexico, not the U.S., what right does he have to ask for special treatment?

If he is concerned about the welfare and treatment of his people, then why in the hell are they fleeing to begin with? Obviously there is gross negligence somewhere in that deck of cards.

Or, if he's so concerned about the welfare of mexican citizens why doesn't he do a "recall" of some sorts? "If you're not happy in the U.S. come back to a country that doesn't care for you to begin with."

What a pompous ***!!!

MEXICO CITY (AP) - President Felipe Calderon blasted the United States on Sunday for immigration policies that have divided families and slowed the amount of money sent home by Mexicans living north of the border. The criticism earned Calderon a standing ovation during his first state-of-the nation address. «We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers,» he said. «The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle ... for their rights. He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: «Mexico does not end at its borders. Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.

When Mexico stops deporting its own illegals and stops denying foreigners rights in the country, there's something to talk about. Its just anti-American hypocrisy!
“And slowed the amount of money sent home by Mexicans living north of the border”.

That pretty much says it all-we certainly know what his priorities are, and they are not divided families or the mistreatment of illegals...

Is this just another downfall for U.S job markets and open borders?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration can proceed with a plan to open the U.S. border to long haul Mexican trucks as early as next week after an appeals court rejected a bid by labor, consumer and environmental interests to block the initiative.

They say this is an "experiment" .... Experiment to what? See how many people on U.S. roads will be killed from these drivers? Experiment to see how many more illegal immigrants they can haul in? Experiment to see how many more times the Americans can be slapped in the face without striking back?

Do you agree that we should NOT open our border up to these Mexican truckers? Is the Teamsters Union the ONLY one that sees the harm in this?? What will this do to the US Highways?

A very seedy person that has dual citizenship says they were awarded an emergency passport and back in their native country. How can you find that out? He would hide mostly the last 15 years and not really work so no activity on his SSN to speak of. Became a USA citizen about 14 years ago. This person has been known to stalk women for money on the internet. Thank Gawd it was never me but know of several. Am trying to find out for a friend so she has piece of mind that he doesn't show up on her doorstep again. He always uses his real name too--stupid guy lol.

I've had a middle eastern girl ask my bf if he'd marry her friend and that they'd pay him. This was while he was working as a cashier..a stranger just approached him and casually asked this.

My best friends ex-bf, middle eastern as well, tried to get her to marry him in exchange for paying off her school debt.
She also had a friend ask her to marry their brother for money.

I had one friend actually marry an Asian guy who payed off her school and such. She didn't say so, but its pretty obvious since they didn't even live in the same state most of their marriage.

I've had two strangers ask me to marry them.

I'm just curious if this has happened to anyone else. Were they strangers or people you knew?

It would be interesting to see what they would do with the most prosperous nation in the world if you gave illegal mexicans the controls of our government, our infracture and see how long it would take them to ruin it. They have ruined their own country and are hell bent on doing the same to our America.
