The first amnesty started this sham. For that I blame the Govt, the big help wanted (at all cost to American workers) sign needs to come down.
1, the Government is apart of the "enabling" since they're not enforcing our borders and the businesses that hire them are enablers as well because they are paying them. So you're saying blame illegals first, and enablers second.

I was not talking about articles. You said that those on this board don't blame the government. That is not true-even if there is no article posted about it. Most of us have said we blame the government and greedy companies. I have said that many times. However unlike some on here I blame illegal aliens as well. There is a little thing called personal responsibility. Illegal aliens and their apologists blame their behavior on the government and companies. Again-while companies and the government are in the wrong-illegal aliens act of their own free will. They are to blame for THEIR actions.

It is rare that I see people on this board blaming the Government. Ie. posting articles about it and commenting on it. You say most of us have blamed the Government, but as you know we comment and debate on articles-- I'm not seeing this "Greedy employer and greedy government". The topic is usually some illegal killing some person. So yes, your blaming illegals-- anyone with eyes can see that. Of course illegals are to blame for their actions. But its the Governments actions that are permitting the actions of illegals.

Apparently as long as someone leaves the back door open no crime is being committed. At least the offenders (and relatives of the criminals) won't admit it.

Again myself and others have also placed blamed on the greedy government and greedy corporations for this- I suppose you must have missed those posts. You are the one who mocks news articles so would you even take them as valid? My name is probably in some government data base because of all the angry letters and phone calls that I have written and placed to members of all levels of our government. Believe me I am po'ed at the government. Oh well-even so-illegal aliens are the ones who come here illegally. Again- there is a thing called personal responsibility-which I was raised to have. You don't blame your actions on others-you take responsibility for what you do. Sadly-that phrase does not exist in the illegal alien hand book as it is always someone else's fault for them coming here illegally and in most cases commiting ID theft or fraud.

When you leave your house open wide open and you live in a bad neighborhood-- you're most likely going to get robbed. Someone is going to come in, and steal your stuff. However if you lock your door, and take appropriate measures like putting alarms in your home to make sure no one steals your things. This will not prevent them from stealing-- but could deter them. If you knowingly can take actions against this, why not?

Where would you suggest we retrieve these government and illegal alien employer articles from? Do you not realize the culprits also own the mainstream media? We can only comment on articles being published for the public.

We have all on numerous occasions admonished our greedy corrupt government and the corporate masters of illegal aliens. Most of us have also sent numerous letters to government officials. We are doing what we can within legal parameters to fight this invasion.

Why don't you post some articles so we can bash the government and the corporate elite? Why must anti-illegals be responsible for researching articles? If you object to the articles being posted, why don’t you post a few articles, for a change?

So a hot woman shouldn't wear anything but a potato sack because if she doesn't she's inviting a crime of the sexual nature?

Here is another take, make the punishment so severe that crime falls to a point you can leave your doors unlocked. That is my preferred choice.

That is still no reason to IGNORE it. I feel like the media is really accomplishing the task of blaming others rather than themselves, as you stated "Do you not realize the culprits also own the mainstream media?".

If you look at the statistics, rape is a clear dominance over someone. Not by the way they dress.
