A.P. says illegal immigration costs strain national parks! "Drug smugglers fleeing mexican police,crossed into the desert park,and FATALLY shot a ranger four years ago, prompting officials to build a 30 mile vehicle barrier". While this stops most cars from speeding in from mexico,drug and human smugglers have switched to rural entryways into Az." "Thousands of illegals cross on foot,leaving behind piles of trash,they build fires,damaging the parks famous cacti,and create countless trails through the desert vegetation." "Since 2001,the park service has received $35 million dollars for new homeland security responsibilities for national icons such as the park. "They also received a one-time payment $91 million dollars for national icons, and,the cost of the barrier for organ pipe was $18 million! A WASTE of money that could have been used for better purposes,of not for all the ILLEGALS!

It really sucks, doesn't it!?! It infuriates me that these people are able to sneak into our country in the first place. I have seen the videos showing the coyote layup sites (where they meet up with their smugglers). What a huge mess. It is a real shame!
I have joined the Minuteman project (National as well as my state chapter). They are at least trying to make a dent in it. Check out the videos and other information at their website.
I love the new motto "National Citizen Neighborhood Crime Watch - Securing America's Border"

Here in AZ about 6 weeks ago a hiker came across a stop off for illegals in a desert park near Phoenix. This area had literally tons and tons of litter strewn over an area equivalent in size to 5 football fields. It took something like 20 garbage trucks to clean it all up. Hundreds of people volunteered to help. Arizona is unfortunately number one in car theft right now and law enforcement agencies have said a couple of days ago that suv's are the number one vehicle being stolen, they said it was because People are using these suv's to load up illegals and transport them into America.

The media are bleeding hearts that rarely show the true cost of illegal immigration. By encouraging a path to citizenship or amnesty you are encouraging more illegals to enter the US without proper papers. In a round about way it is support for illegals. You totally disregard the crimes committed, the birth rate, the cost. The billions in taxes that immigrants pay, legal & illegals, would still be paid in. Those taxes would be paid by American workers. The money that illegals contribute to the economy would be contributed by American workers. The $80B wired out of the country would stay here instead of going all over the world. Our population growth would slow to an acceptable rate. Our natural resources, such as water, oil & natural gas would last longer. Classrooms would be smaller and US children would get a better education. Our crime rate would drop. Our prison population would drop. Our cost of incarceration, border security, government programs & education would ALL drop. We could save US taxpayers $9,000 per immigrant per year. The $9B paid into social security doesn't even begin to cover the cost of illegal aliens. Your whole argument for illegals is the jobs they do, cleaning toilets, mowing lawns, cleaning houses. Whoop, dee, do. I don't believe the US will collapse if illegals are not here to do those jobs. The US survived just fine without illegals for over 160 years. It will survive just fine when they are all gone.

SealRBorders, What is so terribly sad is that Cowardly Congress is so terrified of looking racist or non politically correct that they refuse to do anything of courage about this invasion. Our joke of a president and McCain, along with that smug fat b-----d Kennedy, are too willing to give our country away. Our ancestors fought and shed blood and worked the land. Nobody gave them a damn thing. These freeloading pieces of trash expect, no demand, that we give them everything, things I can't get. Then, they are so stupid, they think we are supposed to respect them. If someone charged into their houses unlawfully and took what they had, they probably wouldn't like it, right? Yet, these morons can't grasp they are stealing an entire country and way of life. They have no intentions of assimilating, they want to take over.

Sqwrilsgrl, I think this will come up if you put 'border security' in your browser. But it won't be on the first page. I saw it too. There is one about fish and game arresting people too, who come into Texas waters to fish with non-permissible (in the US) gear because the fish are all gone on the Mexican side. I guess the media is looking at a new category of impacts.

Yeah, nevermind the millions of dollars that the legal immigrants, and American citizens waste on jails, and the destruction of our environment, and nevermind how many American citizens are perverting our children's minds. Nevermind all of the crime committed my American citizens. Nevermind the fact the Americans throw cigarette buds out their car windows and start fires. Nevermind all of that. Let's just concentrate on illegal immigrants, and what they do, because legal immigrants don't do anything to waste our money.

Mmmmmm, ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about this for another "side effect" -- YOUR side effect: Repeating yourself over, and over, and over and over, like a Gospel - the Gospel of Sealrborders!!!!
You could even stop "How Many Ways Do I Tell Thee How to Be????" Think on this:
How many numbers are you really reaching here? It seems you have not been able to fix it here!!!! Is that what happens when you get a Messiah Complex and wish to save the world? Wouldn't you reach greater numbers if you ran for President????? The people hearing your gospel would be IMMENSE!!!!!! You would make the News!!!!!!!!!!!, not order us to read it from old sources!!!!!!!!!!!! and accept it as FACTUAL!!!!! Come on, You are not in charge yet until you replace all the incompetents that let conditions in the USA get to THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only solution is SUPER YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at Bush!! He's the current Messiah, and he's managed to convince us all to give him Florida and now he made a mess that you can FIX!!!!!!!!!! All the side effects of the ILLEGALS!!!!!!!!!!
But you know, We can't blame BUSH for it all....how long has this been going on? Be honest, now; you could always get the facts from Mr. Yars232c, Mr. Websites-at-His-Fingertips, himself. He could leave HIS JOB with Yahoo, and make an excellent Tony Snow!
We are still waiting for your answer. Meanwhile here's our voodoo for whoever wishes to exercise free will:
"Believe nothing merely because you have been told IT, or because it is tradition, or because you have imagined IT. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings --- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take as your guide."
yars232c: why don't you tell us who said "this" and add it to your list, so people can know they can and should use critical thinking when using media news posts, and soapbox archives as factual truth. Are you not one of the test givers with your littany of websites, claiming you can back it up!! I think this is the answer you were looking for!
UPDATE: Looks like our SEALY candidate hasn't figured out BC was short for BARBARA CLASS. WE are all born and raised Americans (no sneaks here), with the ability to think for ourselves! Did you miss that too! Since you have ferreted your personal information away, no one can object and disagree with you directly. That is our problem with you. We could believe your leadership and critical thinking then; and your statistics -- all borrowed! The center here is comprised of intelligent students who are not in favor of illegal immigration and let alone unprotected borders. They are, however, anti-frenzy-rant-raving rhetoric in a forum that gets us looking for a Mexican under every rock! Our statistics show that you have been on this rant for as long as the summer session and long enough for you to manage your political conflict. We look and use you to address what politically is considered a form of brainwashing. We study how you stomp on anyone who disagrees with you. We are all law-abiding citizens getting an education, and we marvel at how you think ranting about this day after day changes anything in the state of Arizona or anywhere else in the USA. Do something real. Make yourself available. Show your face. Quit your condescending foaming at the mouth that only keeps your atta-girl answers feeding your ego. Use your passion to effect real changes in the real world, not on Yahoo answers. We support your views, not your approach. Talk is cheap. Walk the talk. This veteran did. Except for DAR and yars232c, who seemingly have a real agenda, I will be polite and not profile the patterns evident in the support you receive on this forum.
Oh, one last thing: The Wrath of Seal does not mean we will get off this category. It is a wonderful teaching tool to illustrate what forms the personas of the political arena and their followers...and ultimately the makings of a Bully stuffing their approaches down our throats! Don't hate the problem at the border. Use your wrath and passion against our leaders who have let our wonderful country go to hell in a handbasket. Many on this forum clue you in (i.e. Sqwirlgirl), but it only fuels your absolute belief that you are infallible, and your focus remains THE ILLEGALS. We ask what have you done to impact the effect of CAUSE today. The Minute Men don't count. That's a squabbling match creating worse problems yet. Politics are here to stay. We should know. I have done more than defend the southern border! Sorry to make you a nervous wreck. Sarcasm is a tool to get you thinking critically. Hysteria has never had a positive effect. There are differences between "reasoning" and "arguing"; between "incite" and "insight" We have heroes here. What's your story?
