They are not telling the truth. They want amnesty for the millions here with 35 million relatives still in Mexico. They would create a race for whom American workers must provide everything. We will become a mirror image of Mexico.
Democrats want Mexican illegals, most of whom receive benefits intended for legal immigrants who cannot care for themselves, so they will vote as Democrats. Republicans do not want the Mexican illegals made legal because would not be able to continue exploiting them.
Illegals have broken in front of people who have waited in line to come to citizens legally. Give them only a one-way trip back to Mexico.
It is a shame Rome has senators and a representative who care nothing about Georgians. To show how disingenuous all three are, they voted against the stimulus bill, but all took some of the funds. How can they be trusted to help us? All three should be voted out of office.
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, said preachers should start telling their members how great these illegals are. Now our government is telling preachers they should start lying. Deportation of all illegal Mexicans and their anchors is the only solution. Anyone who hires one is destroying America for the next generation.
Vincente Fox said imagine America without illegal Mexicans. I imagine it would be almost heaven.

You'll need to explain what you mean. I used correct grammar, and I think I got my point across very succinctly in only a few words. Of course, you might disagree with what I wrote, but you have yet to prove that is is wrong.
So: ARE there illegal people? Please cite something in the U.S. Constitution identifying such a person.
So, the only thing left that could explain is humor. That makes much more sense. For me, it was a good thing the bathroom is close to the computer because I almost wet myself I was laughing so hard after I read that comment. I almost didn't make it. From now on, I'm going to make sure my bladder is empty and I'm not drinking a glass of water or something when I see "RealEstateMystic" because I might wet myself or choke on the water from the humor he writes.
But, just for kicks, you could complete his own sentence... "[There are only illegal acts] like crossing the border illegally, not paying taxes on income, while at the same time sucking away medical resources, education resources, and tons of other services from those that do have honest jobs, pay their taxes, and try to better the community." ...But that's not the point. The main thing REM was trying to do was get a few laughs. And if laughter is the best medicine... Lot's of people just added about 150 years to their life expectancy from REM's comment. Thanks. YOU DA MAN!
I can think of other terms for ethnic minorities that were once "part of the vernacular," and no longer in widepsread use. That's weak tea, MIKY.
If somebody hadn't come forward and reminded you people that terms like this, however convenient for bloggers and pundits, are ultimately dehumanizing, you'd have continued to use it carelessly. I'm sure posters will continue to do so. But now that I have struck a nerve with this grain of truth, I will continue to use it.
"Illegals" is part of the vernacular, especially in the context of a letter to the editor and newspaper "blogs". If you are going to argue about the term then your energies might be best served when "illegals" appears in an actual newspaper article or newscast.
And while I agree with upholding laws and ordinances I also advocate common sense.
If you're going to advocate strict adherence to the rule of law, by definition you're advocating nitpicking. In legal matters, one man's "nitpick" is another's statutes and ordinances.
(Hint: I'm assuming your choice of "nitpick" is an oblique reference to one of my own posts, in which the nits being picked were not legal ones.)
If one would try reading something more than RNT and Websters dictionary every once in awhile, they might actually become more of a well informed blogger.
This isn't just a theory that I myself came up with. There are several well documented facts out there. I guess it depends on what wing you are brainwashed by, weather you choose to ignore it or not. I consider myself affiliated to none.
Dig around yourself. All of your misconceptions could be cleared up. That is, if you could dig your head out of the sand long enough.
And you can? Why hasn't the Nobel committee -- oops, excuse me -- the Heritage Foundation or somebody given you the recognition you deserve for teasing apart this incredibly complex problem? Your theory is that it all goes back to illegal immigrants. I would be interested to read your white paper on this topic. And no links to right wing websites, please.
Thanks!
Massive unemployment, foreclosures, failing banks, budget revenue shortfalls, dwindling resources and services, laying off teachers and closing schools, escalating out of control health care costs, insurance covering less and less.
But while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, look at who is really making out like a bandito. The infamous illegal alien.
Tax free jobs, welfare, healthcare, and free lunch education.
Living the dream!
I couldn't agree more. Thank you for recovering your sanity and getting to the issue that matters (immigration law) as oppoosed to the one that doesn't (Nazis).
We have laws for legal immigration and we want and need immigrants, but ENFORCE our laws.
The real threat of the Nazis was the destruction of Europe, but many courageous US men and women
chose to rescue Europe.
Those who choose to enter our country illegally and employers who choose to employ them illegally
may well prove to bring about the destruction of our culture without ever firing a shot. What you need rather than offering up limbs is a good old fashion switching.
