Dude, your video says that there is virtually NO net positive economic effect from illegal immigration- so why keep them here? So all this talk about how the US economy will collapse if they leave, they are what makes this country run like a well- greased machine, etc., etc. is nothing but nonsense.

I agree with you word for word including your last sentence! I live in L.A.

This is an excellent approach. Deputize thousands of citizens who are federally authorized to do no knock raids on suspected illegals. Then take them into custudy, seize their assets, and deport them. The citizens deputized who make the arrest should get to keep half the assets seized.

It's always important to remember, we have been invaded by a foreign army. More people die each year at the hands of illegal aliens than we lose in Iraq. Once we deport the illegals, American will be much safer and much better better off financially.

So far, the only ones calling it a war are the ones being directly affected by illegal immigration. And the ones being directly affected are the ones competing for their jobs with illegals. Its really about jobs isn't it?

Story on Huckabee's interview might be on Fox News. Huckabee sounded pro illegal with every word. It was surprising to me.

Trust me, I am not competing with an illegal alien for a job.

But, isn't it itself racist to assume someone's ethnic identity just because they are opposed to illegal immigration, then to assume that this person is a racist?...
The truth and well said.

Are you calling him a racist and a bigot?

Most anti-illegals make it seem like thats their only argument. That thats the only reason they want them gone. This is all stated in the video that I posted.

No, I disagree. Illegals destroying the entry level job market is just one part of the equation. It's actually about much, much more. It's about national sovereignty. We have been invaded, people are dying on the streets and in their homes at the hands of illegals.

Additionally, illegals do steal jobs, drive down the wages of entry level jobs, suck billions of dollars out of our economy every year, and they commit a host of other crimes literally picking and choosing which laws they will obey. We have been invaded, and we are at war. The problem is Washington is too negligent and incompetent to stop the war at the border, choosing instead to force our out manned police and sheriff's departments to fight the war in our cities instead of on our border.

If Huckabee supports letting this army of illegals stay here he will lose the primary.
