Hang in there Ann... because they will call you all sorts of nasty names just because you have a different point of view.

Deport the illegals, ban them from re-entry for 3-5 years and seize their ill gotten assets.
I disagree, this is a nation that has flourished with undocumented immigrants from all over the world, at this moment we desperately need
hard working immigrants, that will allow us to compete globally

Deport those who commit serious crimes but for heaven sake give hard working undocumented people an amnesty.
Hum........I will stop buying it.......and plant my own as I already have.
You miss the point, it s not the stoop labor but the agri business making all the money here.

Funny, but "MY PEOPLE" came from farmers so thats an illogical argument but I am curious as to what you mean by "YOU PEOPLE"????
Im sorry but I thought that was MADD AND SADD. Do you know what those are.

LILLY WHITE, sounds more your the racist and a bigot to boot......

We do deport. PArt of the argument is that we shouldnt deport the Illegas just becasue they are "illegal" get it???

Why should we give a pass to the undocumented????

For all you know I could be from Alabama and living in the UK....


Not sure what sort of jobs you did while at school, but I presume they didn't include crawling on your knees picking strawberries, oranges, lettuce etc..sort of work? $10, $20, $30, $50 per hr? Your little girls all want to be Paris Hilton or Hannah Montana – so can’t see them applying to be maids at Motel 6.

Face it just like the drug war America will never end illegal immigration. You can’t win every war. .
Well it was only two little dust ups. WW-I and WW_II But I do seem to recall we also had two dust ups with your little country and we kicked your King Georges butt all over the continent. Would it surprise you to hear we still spit in the dirt when we hear the name King George.
Also we dont grovel nor say gawd save the queen
. Beside we never really like fish and chips, its a poor mans food.

when I was in school, I worked at a used tire warehouse. That was hard work and probably as bad as stoop labor. But what did you do for extra money when you were in school?????
You posed the question so elucidate us.

Hanna Montana, nope, mine wanted to be a school teacher, and she is............
And she wasn't interested in Cindy Loper either.........or Madonna. My Son only wanted to be a paratrooper and Green Beret. Guess what. 10th SF, Got the patches and the wings to prove it.
What did YOU want to be when you were young??????Boy George???

We will end illegal immigration, you can count on it.

Give us documentation and proper credence might be given for an American citizen.....

What a bodacious act that was compared to what happend in London. You can comment on our immigration situation all you want and you will notice I'm not as thin skinned as you.
We are glad you can reason to proper conclusion that they are out to get all of us.
So as I understand the immigration situation in merry ole England, there is a move to stop the immigration of Muslims, deport the illegals and get the hot heads out of the country???
Is that true?????
Your govt is moving to export all the illegals and undesirables???
Who will pick your lettuce......
Wait, there is no lettuce in Merry ole England to be picked.

So are you for the actions of the English Govt as stated above??????
I am truly interested in that question

Raggy Dee Ann seems to be in the minority as far as many of her fellow citizens are concerned. Without exception, every Brit I've spoken to here is highly upset and frustrated by the current immigration situation whether it is legal or illegal. Most would be quite happy to see all immigration to Brittain end. Their taxes which support the social programs that the immigrants then take more than full advantage of (medical, the dole, etc.) are outrageous and the cost of living here has far overshadowed the wage base. With the cost of petrol at one pound, twenty or more for a liter, that works out to about six pounds per gallon--or over $12.00 per gallon. The Brits I've spoken to feel as if they're being squeezed to the breaking point.

I've spoken to many who have developed an attitude of Brittain for the Brits--sod everyone else.

Yep, they're feeling the effects of immigration in England--and they don't like it one little bit either.

Yes we can...........The concept is the same especially when the current crop of illegals refuse to adopt a foreign culture.
They flee ole Mexico and the squalor and corruption and violence there, least that what they say in the talking head interviews, yet they want to keep that very same squalor, corruption and violence.


Look, Any Man woman or child who wants to become an AMERICAN citizens and follow the rule of law, including how to get here, they are welcome with open arms.
