Ahhh so you agree you guys run this entire illegal thing based on nothing?

I have always suspected it but I am surprised that you agree...

How is it harassing?

If we go to their country we are required to have our papers with us.

Its nothing more than an excuse to enforce a sanctuary policy.

Keep your race card in your wallet. Me pointing out facts is not racist. I never lumped Hispanics all in one catagory as in the usage of the word "many" and not "all. Some do put our laws above their ethnic kind but far too many do not. I have no problem with legal Hispanics who put the laws of this country above their ethnicity and expect our immigration laws to be enforced against their own and anyone else here in our country illegally.
My point is if they want to be in this country, they should abide by our laws. Even legal hispanics.

Americans are forced to abide by laws everyday.

Legal Hispanics should noticeably tell illegal Hispanics to stop breaking the law.

Why should we compromise our laws and system of immigration? Thats why I am fed up. They have more weight in our government that the American people

It is quite clear that the economy has vastly lowered the inflow..

Pew suggest the Annual inflow of illegals is down to 300,000 from 850,000 at mid decade.

However Pew believes the Mexican illegal population peaked in 2007 and remains at about that level.

So the Mexicans are not going home in any numbers.

I've seen too many interviews and other stats to believe that.

Illegal-Immigrant Population in U.S. Fell, Study Says - Bloomberg

Illegal Immigrants Returning to Mexico in Record Numbers - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

Not only that, the locals are mad they are coming back.

self deportation whether economy or enforcement or both.

Nope, I'm stating the opposite.

The government changes the conditions of the data collection to serve the needs of their agenda. How many fell for the "jobs saved"?

If you look back through the threads on CD there was a lot of anger already around the time they changed their data collection methods. With the economy tanking we sure wouldn't want people thinking there are still that many coming here would we?

With the states finally getting on the band wagon it would suggest we are seeing an influx in parts of the country that hadn't been blighted in the past. There isn't a lot to suggest that the invasion has slowed down much.
