I don't know, but I have to stick with Glenn Beck on this...It is a right or wrong issue, not a a right and left issue! I just don't understand how in a "civilized" society we could reward people for breaking the law just because they are good swimmers, wall climbers, and runners! If we start doing that then we would have to get the worthless ACLU involved to put in handicapped ramps across the border so that handicapped border hoppers get the same chance as those with 2 good legs..lol

TG ..I have read what many of them have to say on the issue and I would say I haven't found many of the "do nothing" congress of late to have much of anything in the way of good ideas. Hence the label..and that goes across both sides of the aisle.

A man walked into a very high-tech restaurant in a fancy hotel. As he
waited to be seated, he noticed that the Maitre D' was a robot.


The robot clicked to attention and said, "Sir, there is a one hour wait.

I am programmed to converse with you until a table is ready, If you please."

Intrigued, the man said, "OK."


The robot clicked a couple more times and then asked, "Sir, what is your

IQ?"

The man answered, "Oh, about 164."

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity,
Interstellar space travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc.

The man was most impressed. The next day he returned, But thought he
would try a different tack.


The robot again asked, "What is your IQ, sir?" This time the man
answered, "Oh, about 100".

So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing , the latest basketball
scores, and what to expect the Red Sox to do this weekend.


The guy had to try it one more time. So the next day he returned.

Again the robot asked the question, "What is your IQ?"

This time the man drawled out, " Uh.....'bout 50."

The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked,

"A-r-e

y-o-u-r

p-e-o-p-l-e

g-o-i-n-g

t-o

p-a-s-s

c-o-m-p-r-e-h-e-n-s-i-v-e

r-e-f-o-r-m?

Either you are right or wrong on any issue, regardless of race. Identity theft has become the number one crime and the victims never get anything resolved nor do they recieve a dime to recover their loss of good name, reputation or credit!

Just today, WGN news braodcast that a coup in taking over Milwaukee had taken place by Illegals and the sanctuary cities harbor them by passing illegal laws. They don't realize that all Federal funding can be dried up and taken away. You can also go to irs.gov, download form 3949A, report them and get a reward!

I don't see a defense at all for illegal immigration, and I will be checking back to see if anyone can come up with a darn good reason for it. I have plenty against.


http://youtube.com/watch?v=UBONmdeRvpM

I will be waiting for the usual "they pick fruit" ( which got picked before almost 21 million were here illegally. Or they mow grass, which got mowed before 21 million were here illegally.

They DON'T help the economy, they are a drain on it.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4094926727128068265&q=numbersusa&hl=en

Besides the old fruit and grass arguments, or the "OUR LAND RAZA garbage from Mexicans ARE...... there isn't much of a leg to stand on. Besides this land was bought and paid for, so it is OUR land, and by that I mean American Citizens. Not illegals. I would like to see websites that prove how great 21 illegal immigrants are for this country.
And how much 33 billion dollars sent from the US to Mexico since Jan 2006 has "helped" this country and its economy. How much is our national debt now? And how much would that 33 billion have helped people who have a right to live here??

I have backed up what I have said with links. Those in defense, please do the same.

They can't judging from the answers above.
Defense of crime is indefensible, unless you are a defense attorney and your job requires their defense.
It is wrong to come here illegally period.

It is wrong to attempt to defend them by saying Americans commit crimes. Duh, so why add more criminally-minded individuals to the mix? Let's add law-abiding LEGAL IMMIGRANTS instead. Statistics show that less than 3.5% of US citizens are currently incarcerated. Nearly 7% of the estimated Mexican illegal aliens are incarcerated in US prisons for criminal convictions, not immigration offenses.
Some Central American nations have an even higher percentage currently incarcerated.

They just want to work. So get a job in their home nation or fight to change things there. If that doesn't work, apply to enter legally. They aren't refugees. They take far more from our economy than they could possibly give. Depress wages.
Overwhelm our education and health care systems. That's in addition to the billions of dollars taken out of our economy each year and sent to their home nations.

Our laws are too tough, so they come illegally. Pot calling the kettle black if they come from Mexico. Very tough laws there, and vigorously enforced. Very hypocritical.

Race card..well since illegal aliens are composed of people of all skin colors and many, many nationalities, they are not a race. Unless we want to start classifying all criminals as 'races' which would be ludicrous. A murderer race? A child molester race? A drunk-driver race? An illegal alien race?

Civilization depends on honoring and abiding by the law.

We "need" illegal aliens like we "need" another hole in the head. If we honestly needed immigrants for ANY reason, all that has to be done is INCREASE OUR LEGAL IMMIGRATION QUOTA. There are hundreds of millions if not billions of people around the world that would come here in a heartbeat if given a chance. What makes you think anybody "needs" illegal alien criminals. You say this as if we have a shortage of an "immigrant pool" to select from....this is a grossly inaccurate assumption on your part.

you are funny. loved "handicapped ramps." you are either standup comic or should write for lopez or jay or the scot man. they would use this stuff. and, seriously, all i can say is that you are so right. cannot add anything. you said it well. i will forward your statements to my congressman. keep it up and good luck. all i can do is try and hold down my job as an electrician and the competition from the south is really hurting now. it i obvious that it is not just lettuce pickers anymore. that is the biggest myth out there. that should be made a central issue on tv and for the jerks in congress. but the media is totally controlled by a few and people like larry king control the menu. the choices are, for me, "none of the above." short of a series of marches or massive boycots, i cannot change a thing. i just work. we have no prospects of change.

I don't think you can defend it. The word illegal says it all. Our economy does not depend on these workers, as the majority of their money goes back to the own country, without paying taxes, and the entitlements we pay out is a detriment to our economy. If they attempted to change the laws and protested in their own country as much as they do it here, they could have some reform and could make their own country a place they would want to stay in.

you can't the only reason people (the liberals) support it is to get votes, because they know if they allow them to immigrate illegally the ones who allowed it get the votes,

and their stupid arguement that they take jobs americans wont, is completely wrong, the americans want those jobs, its just the illegals are cheaper labor, so the employers employ them instead of the americans who want the jobs.
and they don't contribute to the economy, because they don't pay taxes, and 3 families live in one house so they don't all pay the property taxes they split them. they are ***** leaches!!!
