        Legal and illegal immigrants booted out of the country because
        of drugs, money laundering, bank fraud, fake IDs
        \_ Were any of the people booted out Caucasian?  How about
           criminal and money penalties against famers employing
           illegal aliens? Maybe illegal aliens should try the
           "i was confused (and thought i was still in mexico)"
           defense ... i mean it is good enough for highly compensated,
           well-educated business executives.
           \_ Farmers are fined when they're caught employing illegal aliens.
              \- the point is how vigorous is enforcement. duh.
                 and see point about criminal penalties in addition to
                 fines.
                 \_ Why do you hate pro-business America? It's not business'
                    fault they hired an illegal, it's the illegal's fault
                    for being illegal. Figuring out who is legal and who is
                    not is too hard for the small business owners like Tyson
                    Chicken or Walmart. Get government regulators off the
                    backs of the business man.
                    \_ Err, is this post intended to be satirical?  I'm
                       honestly not sure....
                    \_ it *IS* the business' fault if they didn't follow legally
                       mandated requirements for  checking proof of eligibility
                       to work.
        \_ "...charged in New York with drug possession and trafficking,
           money laundering, bank and credit-card fraud or producing false
           identities."  Sounds like the IIRAIRA in action.  Passed in 1996,
           came out of a commission set up by Clinton and chaired by Barbara
           Jordan, to make it easy (among other things) to deport "aggravated
           felons".

Liz Dozens of legal and illegal immigrants, convicted in on drug and fraud charges, are being booted out of the country....... "These criminal aliens have violated our nation's laws and have lost the privilege to remain in this country," said Martin Ficke (of ICE). all of whom lived in Brooklyn, had been charged in New York with drug possession and trafficking, money laundering, bank and credit-card fraud or producing false identities. all of whom lived in Brooklyn, had been charged in New York with drug possession and trafficking, money laundering, bank and credit-card fraud or producing false identities..... View Replies To: Liz Legal, illegal what's the difference we invite them all with our open border policies, in fact we beg them to come on in, the few American businesses left here in America need you to slave for them, so come on down! Illegals performing illegal activity what a shock, come on down! Want to kill, murder, rape, bring all your illegal drugs and come on down, we welcome all. Heck we will even offer you a "guest" (guest=invited)worker program and help you obtain all the freebies your greedy hands can hold, free healthcare, free food and much much more come on down and you will be welcomed by all the politicians in Washington, is this a dream or what, come on down, heck we won't even make you pay taxes. Oh and be sure to either be pregnant or get yourself pregnant so you to can have the ultimate prize, called the anchor baby program and free prenatal care and we will care for the kid its entire life, called medicaid. So come on down all illegals welcomed, oh and if you come here legally be sure and do all the illegal activity your little heart desires. But as these 35 are being booted out hundreds of thousands more are flooding in. The invasion from Mexico is the most critical crisis facing America today. Our government is too slow to defend our borders against this invasion. The answer probably is a large increase in citizen activity such as is being performed by the Minutemen. Citizens have a duty to uphold the laws of the United States. Patrols along the border are perfectly legal when undertaken by citizens, especially when state and federal government fails to enforce the laws. Instead of "standing watch on every border" as President Bush said in his innaaugral address, we should be standing watch on our own borders. Several critical actions must be taken immediately: 1 Deport all illegal aliens now in the U S 2 Declare a 75 year moratorium in all immigration. mtbopfuyn The immigrant-illegal con game is so predictable: They whine about coming here b/c they want only to get "menial jobs" to help out their poverty-stricken families in "underdeveloped countries." Then, before you can say "hasta la vista, baby," working class born-American taxpayers are footing the bills for immigrants' medical needs, welfare, food stamps, housing, all levels of schooling including college, child care, maternity benefits, and so on. Taxpayers are subsidizing immigrants' daily food intake, housing, reduced mortgages, free medical, education, reduced in-state tuition and out of state tuition fees. We also foot the legal bills when they start suing if we don't provide these goodies pronto. Lastly, and more ominous, is that they become hyphenated voting blocs, demanding representation in the US Congress, state legislatures and beyond so that they can get even more government benefits. They bring with them their utter contempt for our efforts to maintain a civilied society under our Constitution. The government of Mexico---with all of its oil revenue----needs to be taking care of its own people, not "outsourcing' them as wards of American taxpayers. Mexico has more "Forbes" billionaires, 11, than all but eight other nations. It has more billionaires than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland or Taiwan. According to a CNN report, Mexico sits on oil reserves worth about $400 billion, but Mexico's state-owned oil company, Pemex, doesn't have the investment funds to tap those reserves, and Mexico's Congress refuses to allow foreign investment in Pemex. However, some observers say this is due to Mexican gov't corruption, and the obsession to line their own pockets. Adding insult to injury American taxpayers are subsidizing foreign aid transfers to Mexico. According to Visa International--which is now clamoring for a share of the transfer fees--American money sent South of the Border by illegals constitutes $38 BILLION this year alone constituting Mexico's second largest most profitable industry. America should mandate proof for all cash transfers out of the US and/or force all transferring agencies -- banks, credit unions, Amex, Western Union to collect a substantial withholding tax -- 50%, say -- on every unexplained foreign remittance. Mexico is a wealthy oil-producing neighbor of the US forces its poor people to flee to the US to work and then send money back home. Mexico has no welfare safety nets, health insurance for its people and no Social Security System. The US even provides the defense umbrella to protect Mexico, so they have no real defense expenses. America needs to seal our borders and let Vincente Fox know that we will cut off every penny in aid he gets from the United States. This unmitigated contempt for America, and working-class, tax-paying Americans, cannot go unchallenged. The sense of entitlement these people have is outrageous-----that the rest of us owe them a living. And that US citizens, and the US government, exist for their convenience while they break our laws, at will. The only thing between us and camouflage-clad federales patrolling our streets with shoulder holsters is the rule of law.
