Illegal Immigration; where do you stand?

[Redoverfarm]

This is a pretty good insight for immigrations. A little long but worth the wait.

Looked like the talk was given in 1990?  The projections looked bad then, I think there's been a lot more people come through the borders than even he projected...  illegals making up the bulk

Mexican Authorities Arrest Man in Border Agent's Death

January 24th, 2008 @ 5:35am
by Associated Press

Mexican authorities said Wednesday they have arrested a man for the weekend killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was run over by a suspected smuggler's vehicle.

Agent Luis Aguilar, 32, was placing spike strips in the path of two vehicles believed to have illegally entered the United States from Mexico when one of the vehicles struck and killed him on Saturday, according to Border Patrol authorities in Arizona.    http://ktar.com/?nid=6&sid=710866

If the agent hadn't died he'd probly have been charged with endangering the smugglers by trying to blow out their tires.

Looks like the illegal aliens will be getting a tax rebate...

I have just learned that the just passed House Stimulus package
intended to jump-start a sagging economy by giving citizens rebates,
also includes cash benefits for illegal aliens!

Yes, kathryn, you read that right.

According to FOX News, the plan would benefit those illegal aliens
who qualify as "resident aliens" - meaning they have
spent a substantial amount of time in the U.S. and have not
yet been deported.

These so-called "resident aliens" also must have been assigned
an Individual Tax Identification Number.

What?

Assigning a tax number to an illegal alien in-effect legitimizes
their right to be in the U.S!

As Rep. Tom Tancredo said to FOX News, the bill will certainly
stimulate "more illegal immigration."

kathryn, once again this is a slap in the face to citizen taxpayers,
and I'm calling on you to take immediate action with me by calling
your Senators and demanding rebates to illegal aliens be dropped
from this bill.

Here's your contact information for:

Sen. Feinstein     202-224-3841 (California)
Sen. Boxer     202-224-3553 (California)

This bill easily passed through the House (385-35), and it is my hope
that our Grassfire team will be able to restore some sense and sensibility
as this bill progresses through the Senate.

Apparently they are getting serious about stopping this illegal immigration in the south.  Some appear to have taken it into their own hands.  Nothing like a bunch of ticked off redneck vigilantes.  Thanks for alerting me, John. (redoverfarm)

Either take Mexico and turn into a territory or learn to speak Spanish. Only one country here is going to win and right now it looks like the US is surrendering to Mexico.

[glenn kangiser]

We learned to speak a little Spanish, Stink.  Not fluent but enough to get by, living in California.  We have learned that if we try to speak Spanish and butcher it bad enough, the Mexicans will feel sorry for us and start speaking to us in English.  It helps when we are in the stores in California and trying to purchase goods or something.

[StinkerBell]

I speak spanglish myself. I am just so irritated by this. I am really thinking that DC should not raise the American Flag any longer and should just raise a white flag. I am so dissatisfied with the government.

[ScottA]

You can trace this whole imigration problem to the fact teenagers are too lazy to mow lawns. Thats what started it. The government was faced with a crisis of overgrown yards and had to act fast. As it happens there was a ready made supply of yard workers waiting at the river. This soon spread to other teen jobs like fast food and the rest is history. So I blame lazy teenagers for this imigration mess.

[glenn kangiser]

I knew government was behind this....actually they really are.

33 Senators Voted Against English

Senator Biden,

Four Senators vying to lead America but won't or
don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of
English as America's official language when 91% of
American citizens want English officially designated
as our language.

The entire immigration bill is a farce...your action
only confirms this really isn't about America, it's
about self-serving politics....despicable at best.

[williet]

Everybody's playing politics with this issue for now...25% of those expected to vote are Latino or connected to the Latino's ....1 in 4 of suspected voters.....The politicans are walking on egg shells for now...we'll see more after the election (I hope)....

Hillary and Obama both said in the last debate that they thought they should be required to learn to speak English...

This problem should have been delt with long before there were so many Latino's who wanted to change this country into an up-scale Mexico....years ago.....

I told my wife a few weeks ago..."unless we're ready to shoot a mother carrying a baby when she crosses the border, we'll never win on this".....the BEST option is for US to assimilate as best as possible.....

It will be a Latino United States because we don't have enough backbone to defend our own country.

It's amazing to me that our government will kill thousands of Iraqi's to keep them in one section of THEIR country and opens OUR country up to any who wants to enter......

Another issue that bothers me is the % of U.S. "CITIZENS" who don't vote....I saw in my state of Alabama..a record turnout is expected tomorrow..... 35% !!!!!

WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET...... OUR NOSE IS IN THE BUSINESS OF OTHER COUNTRIES...AND OUR BUSINESS IS GOING UNATTENDED!!!!!

We waste the bounty of America for Bush and Cheney's Dream War and allow an INVASION to occur here.

[ScottA]

You talk as though the government can't do anything or is affraid to. The truth is they want the imigrants. 30 years ago America was nearing  0 population growth. The only way the beast known as the federal government can survive with it's enormous debt to constantly expand the tax base (tax slaves) to cover the ever growing deficits. The imigration issue is a non-issue in washington because it's part of the grand plan.

[glenn kangiser]

True, Scott -- our traitors in office refuse to do the will of the people.  The people don't understand why there is a problem because a lot of them still believe that they actually have a part in the election of the leaders of the country and that they will represent them as they should.  Limited choices based on who is offered and rigging of the vote by fraud assure us it will continue to be business as usual until it totally breaks.

ASK THESE GUYS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T CONTROL IMMIGRATION!

I wasn't sure if I should put that here or under humor?   

[glenn kangiser]

Sad but true I would say.

Looks like the illegals won also.

[Redoverfarm]

No apology for sending this ! ! !  After hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.  NOT sorry if this offends anyone because this is MY COUNTRY - IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please pass this along.
I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM
Think about this: If you don't say something for fear of offending someone -- YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for America to Speak up .

John, did you move/delete the picture or did photobucket do it. 

email it to me

... and you are absolutely correct in stating the the national Anthem is meant to be sung in ENGLISH (American English) !!

[Redoverfarm]

Don it should be back there. It is showing to me.

[MountainDon]

yes it is there now... it wasn't before and what was displayed was a sinister looking message that could be interpretted as censorship in action. I couldn't really believe that. Weird.

Anyhow I still agree with your opinion.

Isn't the statue of liberty made of copper? Should bring a good price for scrap.
