		<description>Plain and Simple:
1. Enforce the laws already on the books-prosecute employers who hire illegals to the fullest extent of the law.
2. Enact an Arizona type Proposition 200 (this time without the whining of the minority who voted against it)deny services such as free education to illegals. Do not take away emergency care though.
3. Close the borders, institute a Minuteman Project like organization staffed with volunteers if need be to watch both North and South borders (Yes, I said Northern border too)
4. Arrest ILLEGALS!!(Make sure one knows the difference between the words Legal and Illegal) and promptly escort them back to thier country of origin. Not tied up in Imigration hearings for years.
5. Have representatives in the local, state and national level who actually listen to the folks who elected them for a change.
5. Have an administrator with the cajones to enforce such laws.

Ahh forget it...no one with cajones because of the voters they will offend. 
I guess it aint that simple after all eh?
Oh well one can dream can&#039;t they?</description>

Now I know I&#039;ve arrived.  Just got spam offering a link exchange for an online pharmacy.  No thanks.  I&#039;m trying to avoid advertising here, because it would damage the business model I&#039;m trying for.

		<description>Andy.  Chill my friend.  We are not even going there here. This is not the forum anymore for that discussion.  Some people don&#039;t know how to behave.  I throw that out cryptically just to rattle a couple of cages.  They know who they are.

Let&#039;s not start that debate again.  OK? I&#039;m still licking my wounds from LaShawn&#039;s beat down.

It&#039;s all good. :-)

		<description>Raymond, your alternaive perimeter security is pointless and guaranteed to cost American lives and more money in the long run.  And so shall it remain until you address my 3 specific points that need to be mitigated.</description>

		<description>Renee. It is normally a pretty raunchy show, but it seems to hide often valuable moral messages behind the edge.  This episode clearly hit home in that it illustrated what a world without Order and Love would be like.  Makes me wonder how far God will actually let people think He is dead or not paying attention.

Only one word comes to mind

WO!.........  </description>

		<description>Chops, you&#039;re right about the filter.  Right now our filter is supposed to be employers and local LE instead of where it belongs on the federal govt and we all can see how well it&#039;s working -- NOT.

As for how to go about filtering?  See an old comment I wrote by clicking on my name below</description>

		<description>Dewaine:  They will if voters make them sign binding cotracts for their service.  I am working on a contract for candidates to sign prior to taking office that demands certain behavior.  The most important tenet on the contract will be that they fully understand that they represent and workf for us and not the other way around.

So if we tell them to stop illegal immigration, they had better dadgum well do it if they want to keep there jobs. There will be some legal challenges to my contract I am sure, BUT any challenge will mean that you are telling the voters up fron that you have no intention of doing what we say which disqualifies you off top.</description>

		<description>Listen.  Lawmakers are not going to crack down on illegal immigration toward the 11 million &lt;em&gt;matrÃ­cula&lt;/em&gt; holders as long as they are paying &lt;em&gt;legal&lt;/em&gt; taxes.  Take for instance the issue in Oregon with hybrid cars.  Oregon is trying to implement a tax-by-the-mile law since many people are buying hybrid cars.  Hybrid cars have better gas mileage, so those auto owners don&#039;t have to buy more gas; therefore, less gas tax money.  This way, the government still gets their tax money.  The government will not do less tax money.</description>

		<description>Chops:  WRONG!

The door is open wide enough my friend.  Mexico needs to fix it corruption problems so that its people will want to stay home.  The United States is  a free country, but we are not a 24 hour Walmart.  We have locks on our doors and for good reason.  We are a sovereign nation of laws and rules and we have a distinct culture which defines, nutures and binds us.  When we let anyone in unfiltered, we become dirty and adulterated and our culture becomes weaker.

Some in Mexico even believe they are taking back what was theirs.  To that and to the indians and the native Hawaiians who want their land back?  TOUGH!  Survival of the fittest.  We conquered you in &quot;fair and square&quot; application of force.  If you want you land back, take it back.  Otherwise hush and understand and accept the new order.

This is our country. It does not belong to Mexico or any other nation.  If we just let Mexicans run across the border all willy nilly, we will end up being a giant garbage bin for the world&#039;s unskilled good for nothings.  At some point, these people will even use our electoral and political processes against us inserting their own governors.  See California. The Mexicans actually installed a Mexican operative as the mayor of one of America&#039;s largest and most storied cities, yet the alarm has only gone off with me.  Many do not see the dangers.  Mexico is executing one of the most brilliant bloodless invasion land grabs in US history and we are just watching it.

There are effective solutions, but tis is not the correct forum for discussing them.  They are however taking root and at some point the camel&#039;s bacl will break and the &quot;alternative invasion stopping solutions&quot; will be implemented.</description>

		<description>LaShawn - What does illegal immigration have to do with the culture? Or the lack of a dollar? Am I totally missing something from the article?

Illegal immigration is a problem because of the lack of a filter. The majority of illegals want to be productive, hard-working Americans, just like my ancestors. I agree that we need to crack down on illegal immigration, but at the same time we need to open the door wider to legal immigration so that the good people can get in, but we can keep criminals, terrorists, et al, out.

Immigrants, in my experience, are the best Americans.</description>
