Immigration - November 2007

This issue is very controversial. What do you think about illegal immigrants in America being given amnesty? What's your reasoning for it or against it? Or, do you care? Why? Why not?

...that the illegal parents left the only life they'd ever known?

Gee, talk about snake with fork-ed tongue...

My question is: Aside from some discomfort of fixing the home nations, what's the difference?

Please don't get me wrong. I'm fully against illegal immigration, it does nothing but cause trouble and place a heavy burden on the shoulders of citizens. But seriosly, there's only so much WE can do to fix the problem. If we really want to see a secure border and the laws enforced, it's ultimately up to the government to do that. Unfortunately, Big Brother has no interest in doing we want. (If they did, those borders would have been locked down a long time ago)

Republicans, backed by big business, see illegals as a source of cheap labor, while Democrats see them as potential voters. So either way, were screwed! All the Presidential frontrunners of both parties I see have pro-illegal leanings, the only politicians I see that are really anti-illegal are Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter (all of whom have slim chances of winning the race)

I don't know. I'm trying to be optimistic but at the same time I don't see us coming any closer to meeting our goals.

That 97% polled stated their state should also adopt the same antillegal alien laws. my question is lou Dobbs "evil" as the mayor of New York said and is Oklahoma a "racist" state for protecting its border?

I recall a bass player [...gonna talk about his bass and how big it is...] who refused to go with Mr. Rogers cuz it was just too early.

And Robin Williams, reporting live from Robin Williams Live mentioned that [...oh dayanm...] someone had stolen his sneakers.

Seems to add up.

Any thoughts?

they cost over $1.49, so that's more than 4-5% a year isn't it? Is the housing market like the car industry years ago that gave credit to sub folks and that is why it's falling apart or is it that the Border Patrol has cut down on immigration so much that there are not enough to buy the new houses? Take care

Put yourself in the shoes of an illegal immigrant. You have already committed a very serious crime by coming into the country illegally, so compared to the penalties for that, the penalties for driving without a license are relatively minor. Also, you have no assets in the US to speak of, so driving without insurance isn't an issue, since no one could sue you anyway. So what will stop you from driving?

I know that there are issues of principle involved with this, but I am just trying to think practically. If they buy insurance, then everyone else won't have to pay higher uninsured driver's premiums.

PS Please just answer my question, regardless of whether you think it's right or not. I am not interested in hearing whether you think they should or shouldn't be given licenses.

Is so, how come the vast majority of undocumented migrants from Mexico were gainfully employed before they left for the United States. Thus, failure to find work at home does not seem to be the primary reason that the estimated 6.3 million undocumented migrants from Mexico have come to the U.S. Policies aimed at reducing migration pressures by improving economic conditions in Mexico may also need to address factors such as wages, job quality, long-term prospects and perceptions of opportunity.

This (and many other items out there) just proves that the pro-illegal alien crowd has no arguments that are based on facts.

in a national newspaper today a government think-tank has suggested christmas be called by another name in case it offends the ethnic minorities-it also adds more emphasis should be placed on celebrations such as the divali festival. some towns already call christmas "winterval"-if this is allowed to happen it will be another peice of our heritage lost to the bleeding heart brigade.

UCSD cases put focus on who pays for care

By Cheryl Clark and Leslie Berestein
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITERS

October 31, 2007

The fact that 11 of the 18 wildfire victims lying in UCSD Medical Center's burn unit are illegal immigrants with no apparent health coverage highlights the daunting financial challenge hospitals face in providing long-term, intensive care for all those who need it...

...According to the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, the burn victims are from central and southern Mexico, and include one woman. Four are in critical condition. All were rescued north of Tecate last week, said consulate spokesman Alberto Lozano, and it is suspected they had crossed the border illegally before coming face to face with the Harris fire.

I don't know if it's natural to blame this problem on Mexicans. But have you'll forgotten that many of this illegal immigrnats come from central america and south america? Do you'll know that many of this people are not Mexican but are only using the nationality so they won't be deported back to their home countries. And why are there so many illegal asian immigrants in this country, why is it so easy for them to come?

Of the 15 patients hospitalized in San Diego with burns from the wild fires 11 are illegal aliens. A hospital spokesman said the total cost, including skin grafts, could reach $500,000 for each patient.

Last year San Diego County spent nearly $70,000,000 treating illegal aliens. Shouldn't the government of Mexico pay for the treatment of these burn victims? So far Mexican officials have offered nothing more than "get well soon" wishes to the burn victims.
