Tell Obama that Americans want enforcement not amnesty!

[OvrAndOvrAgn]

The new Congressional session will include a major push to pass an amnesty, so it is especially important for President-elect Barack Obama to hear that that is exactly what voters do not want.

Amnesty supporters will attempt to hijack an extension of the E-verify program. In spite of the public's opposition, open-border advocates still seek to pass the AgJobs amnesty bill or large portions of it. Business groups want to expand the number of visas for "temporary" workers.

Do not let them get away with it. We could reduce the population of illegal aliens over time if we simply start enforcing our laws at the workplace.

Do you really~ think a democratic President/Congress & Senate-are going to do any of this?

Personally- I think that the crack down on Illegals visa vie our government enforcement- is going to end January 1, 2009.

However. IF there are no jobs- they will stop coming.

It's already happening in my town. Illegals are finally starting to leave.

In my town, it's Illegal Mexicans.

In some ways, I feel very sorry for these people.

Sheesh- going back to Mexico which has become down right crazy-with tens of people being killed weekly is a nightmare.

However- the killings are taking place on the border towns-between Mexico and the US.

Well, for the most part.

For Me. Sorry to be so long winded- but-I live with this everyday.

If I was an Illegal Immigrant-. You would have to use a sledge hammer to get me out of here-compared to what I would face if I went home.

I would live under a bridge. I would beg for money.

I would do ANYTHING- to not cross back to Mexico.

before we do anything, I want border security - sadly though bush left us no money for that, trillions and trillions spent and our borders are no more safer then before bush took office

Live and Let Live. There is room for everyone.

An illegal person seeking employment won't be applying for the same job as most of us, so what's the problem?

They have the right to feed, clothe and house their children. They sacrifice thier lives to provide a future for their families. Would you not do the same?
No one owns the right to the pursuit of a decent life... especially in this country that was built on the blood, sweat and tears of minorities.


Sure they have that right IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY where they are LEGAL CITIZENS!

[Rangerx1]

Do I have the right to sneak into another country illegally and work there illegally? Ignore their laws and work off the books at wages that will take away jobs from that country's citizens because greedy owners can then make a higher profit off my low cost labor? Do you think any of that is right?

Our National Guard,and Reserves would be great boarder security. It would keep them busy and it would keep them in the States, closer to their families.

SuzannaSuch... Do you see we are in a crisis and your best friends are exacerbating the situation? I am hearing of the auto makers plants in Mexico, now Hersheys Chocolate...there's going to be more jobs available there than here! Tell them to run back and get their jobs there!

No, it does matter than an illegal person seeking employment will be applying for the same job as SOME of us, taking that job away from them. And it does matter that that stolen job adds competition that drops wages for us all - the American who cannot get that job competes with another American for another job - which lets the employer drop the pay - or goes on welfare when they cannot get another job - or both.

No, they don't have the right to feed, clothe, and house their families by stealing jobs and part of our country for themselves (and when they're paying a cyote a thousand dollars or more, I think that money can go a long ways to feed and clothe their family). Our country was built on the blood sweat and tears of AMERICANS - all kinds of us. Not illegals. They work a job for money - and take it from an American or a worker who came here using the right procedures - who was indeed doing it when they weren't here. They encourage corrupt businesses by giving them a financial advantage over honest ones that hire legal workers.

I'd call up and see - you probably can report them, and should.

Yah the first minorities to come over were the Irish, Germans and Italians each group treated worse than the other they built our roads and and rail road tracks, they brought all different religions as well. Irish, German and Italian immigrants helped make this a great country.And they came here legally. Joined our country, became part of us. Not invaded illegally, took jobs for money to send back home, and hid from our police.

I just finished researching my grandpa's family history. They came here from Germany in the 1700's legally. They fought in the Revolutionary War and the war of 1812 and so on. They were willing to die for this country and they did not take what was not theirs and they didnt collect welfare or steal other peoples SS#. They were not a burden on our economy or on the tax payers.
It blows my mind how anyone can compare those times to today.

I live in Central Texas, where there is a huge population of illegal immigrants from Mexico.

I love them. They work hard, they take care of their babies.

I'd like to institute a program where someone stands at the border and allows in 10 illegals and sends back one American Citizen who doesn't work, doesn't take care of their kids, racks up criminal complaint after criminal complaint, and sucks the welfare system dry.

10 illegals coming here to work, in exchange for them taking 1 citizen who is bone dead lazy and only has the energy to procreate, complain about FEMA's free housing accommodations, and fight with ex-lovers.

Deal?


I have a better idea since you love the ones who are breaking our laws and stealing our jobs and SS# and who are living off of our tax dollars why dont we send you back with the ones we deport since we dont need American citizens who support the people who are invading our country.
In L.A. County alone illegal immigrants recieved $37 million in food stamps in one month. That is one county and in one month. I guess all the non welfare illegal immigrants live in Central Texas. :rolleyes:

:tongue:

I finally found a thread where I agree with many who I usually don't agree with. I think enforcing our immigration laws at this point should be a priority. Our jobless rate is on the rise, so we don't have any positions available for the illegals. I support legal immigration, done the right way. I say let's get our economy back in shape, get our legal citizens back to work, create some new jobs, then work on immigration reform.

Deal?A nice idea to remove some of the slacker citizens - however - let's make sure it's an immigrant without a criminal record. And how about making sure that they'll have some means to make a living. And that we take in immigrants from all around the world - from countries where these hardworking people really have such a desperate need for our citizenship. And, of course, keep a decent queue, so people get in in the order they applied, no one cuts to the front of the line without some darn good reason. Sound good? OK, that's our current immigration policy. Which illegals bypass, cutting in line, avoiding all of our checks that this person is not bringing a bad criminal record in with them, that they can support themselves, etc.


Illegal is illegal. If they wanted to come here, they should have applied, legally, asked our permission. Not come here illegally, taken all of the services we provide our citizens, taken our jobs, taken the job that the idle FEMA living American citizen used to have.

I live in San Antonio and I don't agree with you AT ALL. Do you live in "keep Austin Weird"? Just a guess 'cuz your post is just bizarre to me?

My 1st generation Mexican friends HATE illegals aliens more than anyone on this earth. They do not want amnesty for any illegal. They want them all to go HOME. But that's where I live. Different world from you, neighbor.

350,000 Illegal Immigrants Sent Home in 2008

...The 24-year-old construction worker who grew up near the Texas border was deported twice before this year, but he is indifferent on this cool morning at O'Hare International Airport.

"I'll probably be back," he said...

The amnesty is supposedly needed so that illegal immigrants won't be deported and forced to leave their American-born children behind.

From your link and:Quote:

Continue with your quote:
Never mind that this really only happens when deportees do not tell immigration officials that they have children here — usually because the deportee intends to return to the United States posthaste. Obama goes on to say, "Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should," signaling a likely increased wave of new legal immigrants.
