I just did. I live on the Arizona/Mexico border. I think if people came down here and saw firsthand what we have to deal with on a day to day basis, they might change their minds. The illegal invasion has destroyed ranches, open ranges are littered with disgcarded clothing and plastic water containers, abandoned cars. We have to constantly drive through border checkpoints (reminding of my Army days serving in Korea). Our hospitals are closing. Drugs flow across faster than we can keep up. Illegals running up and down the countryside, roads, ditches, parks. If you can't keep up they leave you to die. This is a mess.
You would think our Senators' McCain and Kyl would understand this immigration stuff. In fact, I would listen to amnesty solutions IF someone would close this freaking border!!!

I'm waiting to see what they're going to do about closing the borders.
I'm a realist--I know there'll be some amnesty involved somewhere. There's no getting past it, because without it, you won't get the liberals on board. I can begrudge them that, AS LONG AS THEY SECURE THE FRELLING BORDERS.
And, to those who don't believe in a liberal bias in news reporting, read this article:

Notice that it's all about how illegals can stay, and the ONLY phrase about the borders is: "It would also fortify the border."

The U.S. prostituted it's self out to become the leader of the "New World Order" - by sending jobs overseas and strengthening the countries that always end up turning on us (like the new British government) - So, in order to compete with India, Taiwan, China, and all the others - we have to accept slave wages that only the illegal immigrants are willing to take - in order to compete with this "new world economy" that we manufactured. Remember " When you hold up your middle finger at someone - there are always four fingers pointing back at you!".

ME ! I am flabbergasted at the thought . Why is our government bowing to big business, the illegals, and other foreign governments, and not listening to what we Americas are really saying? Are they that out of touch ? Are we not screaming loud enough?

I haven't yet, but I will. I checked out NumbersUSA's fax and it didn't quite fit my opinion. However, I agree that we should tell them we expect them to vote no on cloture, so the bill can't come to the floor for debate. When they want something to pass, they pretend they never heard about voting against even allowing debate.

I don't know, it sounds like a good plan to me. I respect your thoughts on things. Could you tell me why you don't like it and what would you do instead?

I and millions of other people have, demanding a solution to the state of the immigrants in this country.
a) NO ONE is illegal.
b) The USA is founded on stolen land.
c) People of Native heritage have more rights than any European invader in this continent.
d) Want to be surrounded by white faces? Go back to Europe.
You cannot make free transit illegal for the people who were here first. As Europeans can move freely from one country to the next, so it must be in the Americas.

I did! Don't think it will do much good, unless that 'criminal deportation' provision is interpreted to mean, anyone who is here illegally.........then the bill would rock!

A lot of you people need to wake up because you're dreaming if you think they were going to ship everyone out.
This problem has been brewing for, what, 50 years? 100 years?
Just because politicians have opened your eyes to it in the last year, and essentially used you as political pawns, doesn't means the problem can be taken care of all at once or decisively.
You have *millions* of people here illegally. If it was such a cause for concern, why wasn't this taken care of earlier than today?
Maybe we should round em up, and ship em out on rail cars like the Jews in WW2?!
I love people who have gotten all upset in the last year because some vote-getters told everyone to become upset in the last year.
*baaaahhh baaaaahhh*
