Our politicians have been selling us out for many years now on many levels. Yes, illegal aliens is one issue, and I admit an extremely large problem. We do need to deal with it and pronto because the next problem we are going to be dealing with is Is lam. They are a lot worse then Mexico and other illegals in this country. The current illegals will only be practice for what is to come I assure you. If our government refuses to do the will of the people, perhaps it is time for the people to consider doing for themselves. We have run out of options and are really almost out of time here. While they keep us with an eye trained on illegals for years on end, they are keeping all of you from seeing an even bigger problem which we on the borders down here do know. They are smuggling Mooslums across as well. They have TeRor camps and schools all over the US now as well mosques (which incidentally are more then just churches they are civic centers and their main recruiting stations.) Our govt has allowed them to even alter our children’s text books in their favor. So, let’s quit talking and get serious here. It is time for a much needed march of millions to the White House that they cannot ignore on both of these issues. Two birds with one stone you might say. The youtube link above by afuel is an excellent one and there are many others as well. Many Islam ists are out there trying to warn us but the politicians and news media are hushing it all up. Research it and lets quit talking and act! Our very lives are at stake here people. I do not want to leave this mess to my children!
And Mmartin, You need to seriously let go of your hate my friend. You cannot hold such hate in your heart and then quote the Word and throw stones at others no matter how wrong they may be. Don’t get mad at Whity my friend. Your real enemy is before you as stated in Rev. The beast with the 7 heads…the 7 are of Is lam and that day is coming. They tell us daily of their intentions but we simply cannot comprehend an enemy so vile and wicked as to be so utterly the opposite of everything we know and understand. But I say this, if they can creep into the house of a peacefully sleeping family and kill all, including small children in their beds because they are simply of another race, you better fear! Especially as one was a 3 month old baby with it’s throat slit. They will tell the black man that he is an integrated part of their culture and lie to get him to act with them. Bu the truth is, they have always held the black man as slaves, and still do, placing them on the level of dogs. That is in their Qu ‘ran, not in my Bible. So pick your friends carefully. Those that you think are enemies today, may turn out to be the ones saving your life tomorrow. Let it go and just be an American…all of you. Unite! Make the future a future, and a better one then it is now.

To Greg Kirnie who posted on this site. Where I am from the mexicans are not hard workers. They do the jobs half as good and with half the knowledge of the whites. The company I work for is now mostly mexican’s. They started hiring mexicans because they will do the jobs for a lot less money then legal American’s. They had a big layoff when the economy started to get bad, the people they hired back were almost all Mexican’s and work for less money than the people who worked there before. So to say the Mexican’s are harder workers is a lie, we have more problems now than we ever had at the company I work at. As for the white people who stay home and drink beer and smoke, well when company’s are hiring people for less money now than in the 90’s and they can make more money on unemployment than working, I guess I can’t blame them for staying home!! I don’t understand how anyone could say illegal alien’s are not hurting the economy. Because they are illegal, they will do jobs for half the wage of legal citizen’s, this is hurting the economy, by bring down the wages and that is a fact.

I agree 100% with this person’s comment at the bottom of mine.

Regardless of what everyone else has said this statement below is the best way to do this. The rest of you are extremely racist and you stated in your comments directly and indirectly. One comment was only let Asian and Europeans here, who’s countries are like America “YOU GUYS are very racist and you are the type of people who keep racism in America alive you feed it to your generations after generations. You call them trash parasite and dogs, the exact same words you use for black people. They are human beings (people) regardless of where they come from. This is the same way you guys feel about all people of color. You are haters with no hearts, ignorant thieves! As long as you were making money, before the America’s economy went soar, you said NOTHING, why because the undocumented workers were cleaning your house, building your mega homes, picking up your trash, mowing your lawns, doing all that you lazy ass American felt was beneath you to do for yourself. No different they you did with blacks in slavery the did the same things for you Americans and when you were finish with the Blacks you wanted them out! It is a cycle with you all. You were quiet and the influx of undocumented workers did not begin with the Obama administrations, but the good ole white boy administration, and again I repeat as long as it for the good of what the HAVE want everything is good. Why are you afraid of the HAVE not? You should have been yelling 10 year ago, but no you said nothing because life was good for the thieves (HAVE) who stole the land from the Indians. You want your money back it is not the undocumented workers who put America in this debt it is your corrupted good ole boys go get your money from them and your lives, this country and your money will be back on track, they are the ones to BLAME!
You guys are the trash, parasites, and dogs you blood suckers! Heartless evil demons, I pray for you, you really need God in your life. This is GOD’s land. We are people, we all are made from GOD, we bleed the same as you do we are PEOPLE. READ JAMES 4:1-10 ALL OF YOU READ IT please! If you hate people of color, why do you want TANS, full lips, perm your hair to be curly, use the music in your businesses, etc…just to name a few things that people of color are BORN with? WHY? You want everything and have a lot and it still will not validate you, sorry. Change your heart and corrupted ignorant thinking you are so unhappy with your selves you will attack everyone. Look in the mirror fools, your so foolish it is sad.
I echo the writer below good job!

We cannot afford to spend this much on enforcement!!!! Yes we need to enforce our border but we can’t afford to deport every illegal immigrant, most of whom have NO CRIMINAL RECORD. The illegals with a criminal record are already prosecuted in federal court, many receiving 3-6 years in prison at a cost of $26,000 per year (for a federal prison bed). Immigration reform should focus on family reunification, employer sanctions and granting temporary work visas that require workers to pay taxes, keep a clean criminal record and go back to their home country to renew their work visa. When hard-working immigrants are deported it just makes their US citizen dependents have to go on welfare. We need to be analytical and practical about this and not so dogmatic and emotional. We are spending ourselves into bankruptcy with money borrowed from China and it has to stop NOW.

This article is 100% correct.

I wouldn’t worry about the cost. First: add up how much immigrants are costing both the US and taxpayers through all the various welfare programs, free health care etc. Next, add in the loss of US citizens’ jobs, with its subsequent drain on Unemployment Insurance, loss of homes, loss of purchasing power etc.

Finally, no worries about deporting costs. I am sure there are hundreds of thousands of US citizens who would be more than happy to transport these people back to where they came from for free.

As an added measure, this country should stop making it so attractive to jump the border and enjoy the many benefits that struggling citizens can no longer afford.

Enforcing our borders would not be that expensive; rather it is a matter of ignoring liberals’ whinings. One example is to electrify the fence. That alone should prove a deterrent to those considering just “hopping over”. A quick check of the border protections used by other countries would yield more inexpensive yet efficient ways of keeping out illegals.

On target. We must work to end in-migration of alien parasite races and began to demand deportation by educating the public and polarizing them into resistance.

The term anti illegal immigration is not how they are getting in. Catholic Family Services is bringing in many third world people through the refugee status. Many come from somalia and burma and africa. These people are disabled, have hiv, and many host of diseases. They bring them to Ny, or any other welfare state. They are put on the welfare and medicaid system. Many are mentally ill. I work in the social serivces and i see this everyday. Americans that need help and are turned away, but as soon as this agency brings in refugees they get welfare. We are paying for people that will never be productive. Please look into this orgazination. Can a 86 year old person work? A mentally ill one? They are bringing in at least 2000 a year in my county alone. This is where they are coming in. They get free medical care on the back of the taxpayer but yet when you need help you are denied. You need to check out the term refugee status and focus on that because this is how they are bringing them in.

Mr. Edwin Rubinstein wrote an much needed common sense article, “The Economics of Immigration Enforcement: Assessing the costs and benefits of mass deportation”.

In principle, I agree illegal aliens and illegal immigrants; like foreign terrorist, are not US Citizens; and therefore, have no rights and liberties as American citizens period.

The bottom line, and operative word is “illegal”. That is, not lawful, not legal.

Whereas, I concur, the most cost efficient means to set this right, is to eliminate jobs.

Followed, in part, and not limited to, cease and desist all abatement; with respect to so called “sanctuary cities” law enforcement and identifying non US Citizens. Then, without exception and political bias, criminalizing all whom aid and abet illegal aliens and illegal immigrants. Whereby such unlawful activities result in forfeiting Federal funding, licenses, 501 C 3 statuses, tax exemptions, reporting all diversionary subversion activities that may aid and abet individuals, organizations, businesses and yes, even churches.

So, let’s do what’s right, under the law, in intent and letter thereof, and enforce, prosecute and penalize, monetarily, all whom shall violate the law.

I, too, contend if there is no job, and legal enforcement measures employed instead of illegals. Whereas, it is arguably, illegal aliens and illegal immigrants shall willingly realize it is in their best interest to return to the country of origin. And if inclined to petition legally for immigration into the USA, they may do so.

With that said, I also, advocate for immigration reform in a more timely manner for those legally requesting to emigrate to the USA; with preference for immediate family members: sons, daughters and spouse.

Furthermore, it is my belief, immigration shall be limited to countries of our heritage, and ancestry in European and Asian countries; as it was prior to the changes under the late Senator Ted Kennedy. It is a disservice to give refuge and subsequent refugee status to Islamic Muslim into a primarily Judeo Christian nation, under God, not Allah, when there are other more suitable countries with greater similarities than differences, for our mutual good and welfare. Otherwise, its like mixing oil and water; and don’t assimilate as one.

And it is equally as counter intuitive for presidential Executive Orders to lift all restrictions for immigration. It is, especially, inept and irresponsible to allow those with infectious diseases, including and not limited to AIDS, HIV, STD, and so forth to freely enter America.

The crux is, whether its economic factors, adverse polar opposing ideology, or deadly infectious diseases, it all harms America. And what made American great as a beacon of hope for all Americans; willing to be part of the melting pot American experience; forged and molded into Americans, is lost.
