Am I dramatically mistaken in thinking border control is what sovereignty is all about ? I've never had the opportunity to go to the United States, but I think the rules are roughly the same in any democracy : if you come legally and respect your hosts' lawn then no problem. Germans and Japanese changed their vision of the world because the war brought the collapse of their society, that is quite true, but IMHO this collapse was also caused by the new choices they were offered. For the first time, they had other role models, and the freedom to make their own choices. They're hardcore liberals, but they voted for Schwarzenegger. The wife, because he's too rich to be beholden to special interests. The husband, because he's against issuing driver's licenses to illegals. I just wonder why the President prefers Gray Davis' stance on this, to Arnie's? Republicans correctly view this community as a potential source of new voters. They INCORRECTLY view tolerance of illegal aliens coming into America as an important issue vis-a-vis native born voting Hispanic Americans and those who immigrated here legally. Along with Chrissie Whitman, Tom Keane and Colin Powell, Ridge is one Bush's WORST appointees. Karl Rove fancies himslef the Metternich of American politics, taking credit for the mid-term election triumph of the Republicans in COngress. It was Republican policies - policies which Rove has neglected in trying to pander to the unreachable American left - which secured those victories. We are a nation of immigrants and years ago immigration rules were very loose. Many Americans view immigration, even illegal immigration, as beneficial. Irish, and other northwestern European groups, and secoondarily other Europeans. This tended to stabilze the ethnic and cultural spectrum in America. When this rule was eliminated, it resulted in a massive invasion from third world countires, predominantly South and American. He gave us a moronic "Campaign Finance Reform bill, which eviscerated our First Amendment. Write in Tom Tancredo in your Repubican primary, if you have one, and support the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Hopefully, it will then not be necessary to look for alternative candidates to Bush in the general election. There was a Latino Policy and Issue Brief written by UCLA law professor Joaquin C. I could not agree more with you, none of these reasons justify that a sovereign country like the USA renounce to border control. The need for cheaper employees shall never exceed the need for national security and cohesion, IMHO. Deporting them eliminates any need to find out whether or not they "pose a potential threat to us". DHS already knows that illegal aliens are willing to break the law. What they can't ever determine is how just how many more laws the illegals are willing to break. The government no longer serves the citizens in any way. We need to fix a broken thing, The time to do so's here. No need to learn our history, Or learn what we're about. Just speak your native language, Complain we leave you out. You have no right to be here now, Feeding off this nation. I know what you think of Horowitz, and his opinions of Trotsky are at odds with what you said. Then crack down hard on those who hire illegals using existing law. Encourage congress to start cutting off federal funding to any states counties or cities that have some form of recognition for matriculas or local amnesty for illegals along the lines of what Rep. Tancredo proposed re: cutting of highway funding to Calif. Work to prevent allowing illegals access to social benefits at any level. In most states it is already against the law, so it would be up to citizens of those states to call for their local government to cut off access illegals are getting to social services. Punish banks or other financial institutions that recognize matriculas to establish accounts, credit, loans etc. Put more resources on those parts of border where illegals are still crossing in large numbers. Then crack down hard on those who hire illegals using existing law. That program was recently expanded to include all 50 states, however, Congress did not make it mandatory that employers use the program. Work to prevent allowing illegals access to social benefits at any level. Including those aliens receiving aid solely because they have kids? Punish banks or other financial institutions that recognize matriculas to establish accounts, credit, loans etc. Treasury department has already stated that they don't see any reason why banks can't accept the matriculas. Put more resources on those parts of border where illegals are still crossing in large numbers. I'll second that, but I believe that Bush has already made up his mind. He wants them to have legal status and I bet that's what will transpire. Since the amnesty of 1986, I won't believe anything the feds have to say. I haven't seen any articles where they talk about more border patrol agents, have you? All their plans seem to revolve around some sort of legal status, but no mention of how they plan on keeping out the rest of Mexico/Central America/South America. I'd like to see it mandatory, just as asking for ID is currently mandatory and has been for some years. Work to prevent allowing illegals access to social benefits at any level. I haven't seen any articles where they talk about more border patrol agents, have you? It didn't work in '86 and the mini amnesties since then, and now we have 8 to 23 million more illegals (depending on whose numbers you use) than we did back when they "solved" the problem of illegal immigration. Call the White House and let them know that ANY kind of amnesty is unacceptable NO MATTER HOW THEY PACKAGE IT! I'm from the generation that considered, "Illegal to mean Criminal". Obviously the two parties choose their own self serving, anti-American views out of greed with the Repub's and lust for new voters with the Rats, over the best interests of the USA and her law-abiding, tax paying citizens. Now to top it all off, amnesty for 13 million law breaking criminals and their extended families. This will be a great incentive for millions more Mexicans to flood our southern borders, knowing that in time they also will be pardoned for their crimes and welcomed into the newly reclaimed northern Mexican colonies of Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, etc. According to the free traitors, NAFTA was supposed to create millions of good paying jobs in Mexico and stop the flood of illegals coming across our borders. NAFTA is an complete failure in this regard, just another smokescreen by the free traitors while they bring in more illegals to take our jobs and kill the wages that remain. On a side note, I believe the easiest way for an al-Quida terrorist killer to infiltrate the USA would be through our porous joke of a border along with the thousands of illegal Mexicans that stream through everyday. He is putting out a call to see what kind of help he can expect, and if he gets a lot of feed back he will. He is of Hispantic heritage, but is dead set on amnesty, and wants the Federal Government to enforce our immigration laws. I contacted Project USA, asking them about bill boards, but have not heard back from them on doing a bill board for Idaho. His wife is a lovely lady and has no direct hotline to Satan. Or at least he serves the same masters and shares the same purpose. You might be able to help with the grass roots effort somehow. They are a pac that provides support to those running for congress who are in favor of enforcing immigration laws. We are about to enter the age of chaos and unintended consequences. And we're in the process of working that through now so I can make a recommendation to the Congress," said Mr. Bush about the politically dicey issue -- made more urgent by his planned attendance at the Summit of the Americas in Monterrey, Mexico, next month. The move did not stem illegal immigration, but instead created an avenue for millions of new immigrants to legally enter the country to visit newly legal relatives. With that lesson in mind, top Republican lawmakers are proposing legislation...
