The anti-immigrant people are not accepting when they want to build a fence.

When the pro-immigration people say they want amnesty, that is acceptance.

Let's try and keep them straight, okay?
How do you go from me and most Americans objecting to illegal immigration to believing our culture is better than others and not being accepting of others? You do realize that we have been an ethnically/racially diverse country since our country's founding, don't you? You do know this is about illegal immigration and not legal immigrants or citizens, don't you?

To build a fence to keep out illegal aliens, terrororists and criminals is not being accepting? Oh my God, I can't believe such a statement could come out of the mouth of any sane human being!

$2500 x 12 mil = 30 bil. So $36 bil in cash?
They would leave themselves if our laws were actually enforced, and empoyers wouldn't hire them unless they were legal citizens.
We need to secure the borders. What concerns me the most is we have no idea who has snuck into our country. Here in the US we have laws requiring child molesters to stay away from schools, parks, etc, and we keep track of them. How many child molesters have snuck across the border that we don't know about? How many are working as landscapers or janitors at our schools? How many terrorists could come across the border? That's why it needs to be shut down. It's scary.

As someone whose family was actually subjected to ethnic cleansing (with many of my family members being killed along the way) I find it especially insulting that you would compare the two. Sickening.

Didn't you hear? Republicans (yes, those evil Nazis) are already fast at work building the ovens in AZ to take care of their illegal alien problem. At least, if you listen to some of the more over-the-edge fanatical defenders of the flouting of this country's laws, that is what you should believe.

I am starting to see a pattern in these threads on illegal immigration, especially in the ones about cracking down on it - those ethnocentric, tribal defenders of the illegals have foolishly convinced themselves (as has this Dolores Huerta) that "Republicans hate Latinos".

For the last time:

Illegal does not = Latino

citizens of the US against illegal aliens does not = Republican

Easiest solution to "illegals" - - - eliminate all the things that make it more desirable to hire them.
[] Eliminate national socialism and the taxes associated with it.
[] Eliminate administrative overhead.
[] No taxes levied on productive laborers or businesses.

Of course, no politician would commit to such a platform, for fear of the wrath of the recipients.

Nancy P. is correct in her belief that the nation cannot really be divested of the undocumented worker - because a majority of American businesses that rely on them would collapse under the strain of socialist overhead. And THAT would be catastrophic, as well as revealing.

No nation can long endure taxing its producers for the benefit of the consumers and parasites in government. The "Host" will die from the multitude of "flea bites".

I can't remember if I responded to this thread or not, but with the playing over and again of this tape, I am repeatedly appalled. This cretin is the most vile UN American I have ever encountered. Her greed oozes from her pores causing such a stench I cannot describe. When she melts, I wonder what will become of her essence. I'm praying it is fumigated. Disgusting.

This has to do with being an American or not. Nothing about race.
Nice try though. I give you a C+ for effort.
You contradicted yourself here and were wrong with what you said anyway.

I'm sorry about that, but it doesn't change anything.

No, those businesses that hire illegal aliens would not collapse because there is a legal, citizen workforce available. They would just have to realize less profit. Any business that relies on illegal aliens to stay afloat doesn't deserve to be in business anyway.
