Yes, and we should be asking all of the current candidates who are running for the primary elections about their agenda concerning our borders, our immigration laws, amnesties, any so-called "guest worker" plans, if they support the rogue "sanctuary city" bogus claims which some US cities think they can enforce, if they support co-operation between government and law enforcement agencies to weed illegal aliens out from under the rocks (for deportation), if they support suppliment programs for illegal aliens (welfare, medical etc...), if they support interpreting our 14th amendment to include anchor babies, and whether they intend to support existing immigration laws concerning enforsement and deportation.
The voting track records of any candidates for President can be accessed from a number of website watchdogs, like FAIRUS, and NUMBERS, using their track records to determine how they stand on illegal immigration will help all of us make an educated decision as to how they will represent our interests, and the interests of the future of the USA.
Thusfar, the candidates seem to mostly be avoiding the "illegal immigration" issue, which has our nation boiling hot, and the longer they avoid it, the hotter it is going to get.
I think they are avoiding the questions so they can get through the primaries, and then there is nothing that we, the voters, can do about it.
These are questions that need to be asked and answered, and documented on tape to hold up to them all, in the future, so that whoever wins will have to honor his promises, or be called a liar.

I think you might want to make sure that the next president doesn't continue with the plans for the North American Union. Immigration laws will mean nothing when everyone has a border pass between the three countries. This is why our current laws are being ignored by the government. And why they say that deportation is unrealistic. You can't solve the problem until you realize what it is and why it was allowed to happen.

Most definately so.
I came here from europe and have spent many years going through the imigration process legally.
It is very disheartning to see the onslought of illegals which have no respect for the english language or American ways and traditions. They are here to take US jobs and Move US dollars out of the US. People have come here from all over the world, if there is to be a fair imigration process a certain number should be emigrate here and live by the laws and customs of the US. 12 million un documented should be sent back. The one thing that wouls solve a lot of the problems is that American and international companies and corporations should be made pay the equivalent wages to what is paid to workers here in the US, in these countries in which the 12 million un documented came from. Most products could be bought from these countries which would greatly improve their economys and their living conditions. The US relies too much on foreign oil and products from China. Imagine if all the products that are imported from China could be made in neighbouring Countries 0ne could come close to allowing that the entire continent of north and much of south america could have booming economys w2hich would negate the need for illegal imigration.

I agree with you 100%, illegal immigration is a huge problem. And what good is beefing up our Border Patrol and other CBP agencies if we do not allow them to do their jobs and support them? But then again, why do we have two BPA's sitting in Federal Prison for doing their jobs, because the President of Mexico asked that they be prosecuted....so we need to get that influence out of our government as well. There needs to be slightly tougher consequenses for illegal immigrants. But we also need to look at deporting laws right now because we are leaving children to be orphans right now because while they are citizens their parents are not so we need to find a balance. But if we cut down on illegal immigartion that will open up more jobs for American citizens. Which will help our economy greatly, it's not that the American people don't want the jobs that illegal immigrants currently have we just want more compensation, companies like Swift Eckrich hire illegal immigrants because they work for less money and fewer benefits, saving the company money. So we need to look at that too, because if we have severe punishments for these companies they will think twice about hiring illegal immigrants. That's just my thoughts from someone who works inside the system.....

We should absoloutely not accept any amnesty bills....period. We have very good immigration laws that had our president, and past presidents since 1986, enforced them we would not have this invasion.
One thing I would change are the fines on illegal employers. In our current laws the fines are ridicously low. They need to be a minimum of $10, 000 for first offense, then revoking of business license the second offense, permanently.
One candidate for President that will enforce these laws is a man from Colorado, Tom Tancredo. This has been a major issue of his for many years and has been fighting Congress, and stands on his commitment to keep America as our America. Our broken immigration laws didn't get this way by accident. This is actually the tip of the iceburg. In my recent studies I have learned much, thanks to the super highway of information.
Presidents and administrations for soooo many years have been working for the one government theory-worldwide. If these new immigration laws are approved, and the new Mexico trucker movement into the US, is part of a bigger picture. For those of you who do not know what the North American Union is, GET ONLINE AND STUDY IT!! Bush HAS signed an agreement, in 2005, with Canada and Mexico. It is due to take effect in 2010. The Canadian/America and the Texas/America borders will be gone, I mean GONE. The 3 nations are to become one... one set of laws, one money, etc. Our supreme courts will no longer have final say. Mexicans, Latin Americans, Canadians, Salvadorians, etc, are free to live, work and drive anywhere in what is now Canada, Mexico and the United States. We will no longer be the United States of America. Gone. This is not a nut job speaking here.
If you don't believe me, then go on the net, locate the information and prove me wrong.
We are literally fighting for our lives here as we now live it. Only one way to stop it and its not sitting around having coffee with someone and saying what you are going to do. It takes action....now....by the Americans....and can only be stopped politically. I've never been a political person but trust me, that is the only way to change it.
I watch CNN faithfully and this is where I first learned what is going on. Glen Beck, HNN, is the most politically incorrect person you have ever seen on TV. But he pulls no punches!
Lou Dobbs, CNN, is hated by the other side because he has millions of viewers that follow him and his through investigatations.
Enough here, didn't mean to get carried away but the internet is such a great tool to get information out there. Use it! Educate yourselves. Help make a difference! It's up to us.
Only one side will win....us or them. No doubt. 100% guarantee. If we loose, its because Americans didn't take this seriously and get involved. Believe me, there are politicians that agree with us but they need us, the people, to give them the power to fight for us in Washington DC. Can't be any more plain than that.

First we will start with a statement
We are not asking for a mass deporting of 12-20 million illegal aliens. When the current laws are enforced the illegals will make the choice to stay or go When they left their country of orgin they made the decision to leave their families and processions behind, so please to not use the guilt trip about breaking up families.
The Question
Are you going to enforce the laws on the books dealing with illegals aliens.

No we should know beforehand if the candidate supports securing our borders.
However the persuation that got the 3 Border Agents thrown in prison with sentences longer than a murderer, might see to it any candidate for border control will be cut-off(like D Hunter of CA).

YES!!! I will only vote for a candidate who is against illegal immigration and promises to do something about it. This crap with our countries leaders not following ALL of our laws is wrong. They can not pick and choose which laws they feel like enforcing and and they do not feel like enforcing.

We should not have to ask. Our elected officials take a sworn oath to uphold the laws of this land and, so far, most of our elected officials have ignored that oath.
Many of the candidates are already courting the La Raza vote so you know they won't be honoring any immigration laws.

Bottom line if they have not made their position clear, like Tancredo, then don't vote for them.
Update: Looks like Clinton just joined the ranks of illegal supporters by hiring a La Raza racist

No, we have already asked politely, the time has come to DEMAND that America's duly elected government officials do right by the American people who elected them, if they are unwilling to comply, IMPEACH! Our government is supposed to work for the citizenry of this nation, NOT a foreign nations citizens.
Enough is enough.
