Would you believe this one?

Come President Bush and the Democrat led Congress.

The American people are fed up with illegal immigration and open borders.

Why won't you protect us?

Expecially in this time of terror.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

GLOBA LWARMING AINT COOL: I call and email on a daily basis, mind you.

You just don't want me to expose the truth to everyone. you want to be an ignorant moron.

By the way, I don't just post these question for nothing. I post the sread the truth and reality.

Answer 1

Illegal immigration is out of control and needs to be stopped. We need the fence and we need to stop putting our Border Patrol Officers in jail for doing their jobs. I don't want a North American Union.

Answer 2

There are major advantages. Anyone who has ever known an illegal immigrant who worked his/her *** off day-in and day-out will know what a benefit they are to the work ethic in this country. The immigrants I've known, both legal and illegal, have been a better example of hard work for me than any US-natives. The problem is that there are so many who give the good ones a bad name. I don't know what the proportions are (and neither does anyone else answering here; most of what you've read is Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) but the hard working ones avoid being noticed as much as possible, because they need the benefits of working here for better wages than their native countries, while the others are very visible because of the media's tendency to comment on race any time a crime is committed by anyone other than Caucasian Americans. Seriously, turn on the tv the next couple nights and watch your local news. When a crime is committed by a Caucasian there will be no mention of the race. When it is committed by a Hispanic person you will see and hear clear references to culture. The double standard is sickening. Anyway, despite the advantages of having hard workers willing to do difficult work for low pay, in the long run that is damaging to the economy. Taxes are rarely paid by such workers, while many benefit from government assistance. There are hospitals in Texas where more children are born to illegal immigrants than any other service they provide, and those bills are paid only by government programs. I have personal experiences as well that confirm that behavior, but the free labor-and-delivery services (while concurrently providing US Citizenship) at border-town hospitals is a much clearer example. The simple fact is that the ones who work hard to immigrate legally are more consistently honest, upright contributors to society. That doesn't mean all immigrants are bad (what an ignorant point of view that is), it just means that the process of doing it legally makes it more meaningful to the immigrant than if they had to sneak across the border in the night and live in fear of the INS the entire time they live here. The immigration system is seriously messed up. My sister-in-law is a legal immigrant from Japan. Even having done everything properly, and having been here for well over a decade, it's still a hassle and witnessing the hoops she has to go through is a clear witness of why so many feel forced to come here illegally. That said, a wall, however deep and high, will not solve the problem. Throwing money at such an embarrassing display of insecurity will never solve the problem. Fixing (completely recreating) the immigration policies and the INS itself is the only way to solve the immigration problem, and as long as money is being spent on building a wall we will never have the resources to actually improve the situation.

Answer 3

I am somewhat amazed that this revelation would surprise anyone. Discounted air fares for trips to the American border? Hell, if I were a typical Mexican peasant, I'd be lining up for a ticket.
Illegal immigration is the greatest cash cow any country could possibly export - it gets rid of the impoverished people who are a drain on its economy and instead sends $millions$ back into the country's economy. It's a win-win for Mexico.
And we have no one to blame but ourselves - you know, the people who consistently put these incompetent incumbents back into office where they can once again pander to the special interest groups, big business and basically ignore their constituents.

Answer 4

GBA/AL,
Damn it, do you think I can save some money, riding the return flights south, to where my 'medicine man' Doctor is ?? These Doctors here in the USA only want to operate, and only give me a 2% chanch of survival, and claim there is NOTHING that works on my type of brain tumor, and yet the Mexico Doctors and my taking herbs, have STOPPED that tumor for 6+ years now !!!!!
YES, YES, YES I am an American (14 generation German, French and American Indian), 5th generation Texan, Army vet, AND I DO NOT WANT OPEN BORDERS WITH ANY - ANY OTHER COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!
Got to go, so I will get off my soap box before I get really wound up, with these Liberals, Cons, Dem's, Rep's, SORRY ASZ POLITICIANS !!!!!!!

Answer 5

The Mexican Army also escorts the ILLEGALS` & the Drug Mules to the border ! In most cases the escort soldiers enter 5 - 10 miles into US territory !

Answer 6

Some days I think just it might be easier for all of us to make the trek to the southern border and build the fence ourselves, rather than wait for our do-nothing politicians (And this includes both Democrats and Republicans) to take action.

Answer 7

Yes, I saw that this morning. All of the tickets purchased are one-way and the cost comparable to a bus ticket.

Answer 8

Thank-you for posting this. Please keep posting this kind of info, and I believe that Americans have finally decided to wake up.

Answer 9

May God bless everyone. May God forgive Americans.

Answer 10

The return flights are practically empty. Perhaps you could help them out, some of us might even chip in for your air fare.
