We are not at all against immigrants. Just do it legally please!
Can you say who in the hell does Mexico think they are. Sorry but the nerve of that Country. Can we sue them for being bombarded with illegals from their COUNTRY they refuse to help. Your right because i know some mexican family's who do send the majority of their money back to mexico, that is all i will say. No they are not legal here, need i say more. Or i should say maybe one family in the home is legal, the other 4 families living in the same house from Mexico, NOT. Not even out here in Calif, but in Arizona.

Or, perhaps Georgia's double digit unemployed can get a job now. Oh, that's right, they make more money by not getting a job and collecting benefits. Nothing wrong there.

So.....you're too good to pick your own damn vegetables? Just what makes people like you so damned arrogant? Mexicans weren't put on this planet to wait on people like you.

Meanwhile Mexican troops just waltz across the border while agents run around with chickens with their heads cut off wondering what to do. Probably afraid of a lawsuit or being called a racist if they intervene. What is America turning into???

"A convoy of three military trucks loaded with Mexican soldiers crosses the border at Bridge Number Two clearly violating international law.

It happens as Customs and Border Protection inspectors try to figure out what to do.

A CBP spokesperson says they got on the phone with Mexican authorities after being alerted that the military trucks were heading their direction loaded down with soldiers and weapons.

Mexican leaders say the soldiers, who had just been deployed to Nuevo Laredo, didn't know the area, got lost and then made their way through Bridge Two."

If Obama didn't agree with them he might, he probably just views this as a political win for him since now he doesn't have to sue another US state.

You know what, your absolutely right. Obama does not care about those things that would Make Americans happy, such as doing something about this spiraling out of control problems we face with illegals.

All he see's is scoring points. for his team and to hek with what us Americans think. He has others on his side, right?
