To say you can’t just round up 12 million people and send them back to Mexico is just obfuscating on the part of Bush & Congress. You don’t have to send out the military en masse – that would be ridiculous, and unnecessary. All you have to do is send out the good old green INS vans, and start picking up the day workers on the street corners. If this was done on a daily basis, and those apprehended were fingerprinted, taken back across the border to Mexico, and told that if they come back, and are caught again, they will be incarcerated for a long time, the problem would resolve itself pretty quickly.

Regarding the fantasy about illegals applying for citizenship: these people do not want to become American citizens. They don’t care about voting. As long as they’re getting paid cash, so that they can continue to collect welfare, they’re real happy. As long as they can buy fake documents at the flea markets, they’re happy. As long as they are allowed to break ALL of our laws and get away with it, they’re happy. Here in San Diego, Mexicans are a protected class in that respect.

I have written to the White House and the RNC to let them know that I will support any movement to impeach this president for his failure to enforce the laws of this country.

FWIW – I agree completely with Chris Ford’s comment about Bush.

I am the granddaughter of LEGAL immigrants. My maternal grandparents made absolutely unthinkable (to today’s “entitlement” babies anyway) sacrifices to come to this country. My well-educated professional, multi-lingual grandfather worked in the steel mills of Pittsburgh to support his large family and even managed to put his oldest son through college AND purchase his own house. And because of the sacrifices of this man (who died in 1923 when my mother – his youngest – was 7), I have the wonderful and challenging life I enjoy today. Am I grateful to these marvelous people – my maternal grandparents? You bet! Does my knowledge of their efforts and sacrifice cause me to view these illegal invaders with contempt and fury? Again, you bet!

We could enforce legal employment today with just a call to verify an employee’s SSN. Bad SSN, no employmnet. Employers can already do this if they desire. No extra cost except for perhaps some more phone lines and an expanded automated service with email confirmation.

That’s it. No new federal departments, databases and billions in expenses. So, we can once again see that we are being lied to by those who would sell us out at first chance to make a buck.

But this is completely phony unless it it enforced. It hasn’t been enforced in the past, and won’t be enforced in the future unless private citizens can enforce it. I suggest that each person who believes in enforcement should email/write/call congress to insist on private enforcement against employers of illegal aliens. Here is a suggested rough draft:

“Dear ______
The Senate says it is increasing the penalty for hiring illegal aliens to $20,000, but this is meaningless if it is not enforced, as we have learned. I urge you to add private RICO actions against employers of illegal aliens for those injured by this illegal employment, and “qui tam” actions by private citizens and groups under the False Claims Act to recover the $20,000 fine and any unpaid taxes from yhis illegal employment.
Illegal aliens send up to $20 Billion to Mexico per year of illegal earnings from US employers who knowingly hire them. Please also stop this flow of illegal money, to reduce the incentive for illegal immigration. Appropriate banking regulations and fines for facilitating this flow of illegal money will help stop this. Thank you in advance for your efforts to stop illegal immigration, and to prevent a reward of citizenship for those who flaunt our laws.
Cordially,
_________”

One of the most provoking issues is illegal immigration. What I find most disturbing is the manner in which illegals choose to go about demanding citizenry – amnesty – and assuming they deserve a ‘free’ pass.

Since the issue of undocumented worker…

The screaming, hollering of the untruthful get further, remember Goebbels (the Nazi) “a lie told often enough…….
