When Bush got in for his second term i was really pleased. I really thought he was going to do something about the border problem. I think that is a area where a lot of people felt Bush let them down. He said he was beefing up the borders but daily reports showed thousands of ILLEGALS coming across the border. They even found tunnels where trucks were driven under the border.
Of course we realise now that the border was never going to be sealed, even though terrorists could enter the country easily, because it would upset the interests of big corporations. Just another example of the tail wagging the dog in America.

Bush betrayed us all on the illegal alien and border security issue. There are now millions more illegal aliens because Bush either did not want to or was too politically weak to secure the borders. He spent billion securing Iraq's borders while our own was wide open.

To stop illegal immigration we must eliminate the jobs and benefits that attract new illegal aliens. This bill would amend the Social Security Act to "exclude from creditable wages and self-employment income wages earned for services by aliens illegally performed in the United States and self-employment income derived from a trade or business illegally conducted in the U.S."

Californians for Population Stabilization - ALERT! Legislation would eliminate Social Security benefits for illegal aliens!
I hope this happens! Unfortunately they can still recieve SSI, which the person does NOT need quarters to qualify.

While the presses were still hot why didn't Obama print up a billion for the fence to fix it once and for all? Everyone else got their slice of the pie.

Illegals should not be given a job or benefits of any kind. If they get sick or whatever they can go back to their own country and deal with it. We owe criminals nothing. They have our politicians in their pockets and getting worse.

Unless you are a surviving gay spouse. Illegals have more rights than citizens who are gay!

True.. They have more than MOST citizens.. They can steal or use a false SSN to be able to work under the table, they can loiter outside of businesses for hours on end while law enforcement, businesses and city officials look the other way, because attempts to ENFORCE the law will lead to La Raza and the ACLU defending these criminals right to do as they please..
