I mean seriously! Why do we (America) even have border security officers?

If… we are going to argue that “illegal’s” provide us benefits?

If… we invite the President of Mexico to speak against the good folks of Arizona and their new laws? Trying to up-hold ‘federal’ mandates against immigrants that are already on the books?

Shouldn’t we just save the money and let them in?

Thoughts?

OT

PS: After all… the annual budget is over 10 Billion, with a “B”

Is our leadership really saying the money could be better spent? For more see: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Illegals contribute ZERO benefit to the country. They cause LOTS of problems. They cost the country HUGE amounts of money. It is VERY beneficial to eliminate them all. For the sake of the country and its legal citizens, its a HANDS DOWN WIN to get them OUT ASAP!!!!!!!!

One woud have to show how much money the illegals save us versus the monies that the illegals use up. Take for example the anchor baby laws alone, as they were designed during the slavery era to grant children of slaves citizenship because their parents were removed from their original country. They were not meant for people bent on breaking laws to jump the fence and attain benefits through their anchors such as food stamps, cell phones, subsidized housing, & healthcare.

Also for every job the illegal occupies, a citizen now has to be placed on food stamps and unemployment benefits.

Open borders thinking is utter nonsense, how about these criminals have some balls and go back to save their own country.

Thank you for the reply....

Its really simple in my mind...really...

Go back to the end of the line and take your spot...

Do what you have to...and we'll let you in!

Am I wrong?

OT

I have the feeling the border states would be really upset if something like the OP mentioned became law.

I am sure out of all the illegal immigrants that make their way in to this country; there are some illegals that are honest, hard working, and great people. The violence, gangs, crimes, and drug cartels that seem to be happening are good enough reasons to not open our border.

prionace glauca, thx for the post!



Others, OK....


Take for example Michigan and Ohio....ready?


The two states that built American have 15% and 10% unemployment, respectively. Don't you think there are a few million that would be ready and willing to take a JOB....of course they would!!!!!!


Is our leadership contributing to the un-employment rate by offering amnesty to the illegals? Why don't they see this? Is it about getting the latino vote?

Come on now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are OFF TOPIC friend!!!!!!!


Do you have a point that is relevant?

Honestly, I have yet to see a well thought through argument on why we should not enforce our immigration laws.

For the most part, I see highly emotional, (and I am sure sincerely felt) diatribes on how it is racist to enforce our laws, how it will result in racial profiling, etc. I dont see any evidence that the person feeling these noble emotions has considered what it means to be a nation with no borders.

But you are right, why pay for services we have no intention of using? Unless we are just trying to employ people, and we dont care at all about getting our money's worth. We might as well save the money and use the personnel for other things.

There are no anchor baby laws in the constitution.

I would say that to the busnisses that hire them they offer a bigger profit margin. Their work creates wealth for their employers and indirectly the nation.

This is not in the best interests of the nation but only the few. I guess if you believe that the money made by those that employ illegals trickles up, down or out (Reaganomics style) then you could say it's good.

Thx! I think it is about VOTES...

We are SOOOOOO inconsistent as a nation...policy-wise....

John Adams is rolling over in his graves, didn't he say... "Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice!"

hm?????

Any one listening here??????

Of course NATION-centric is LONG-TERM but we all know EGO-centric is the MO. Especially when EGO=CORPO.

You got to have someone to stop tourists and low-end drug runners. We wouldn't want government sponsored cartels and criminal organizations that can fly or ship in their wares have competition on the street now would we?

Nope none in the constitution but an ammendment. I didn't state it was in the constitution, but something added during the civil war.

Substitute the word "illegals" for "Americans".


Illegals didn't rack up 13 trillion and country.

Prionace, you just don't give up

That my friend is the way you see it and the way you would like it to be.

Unfortunately for you, the law sees it otherwise.

Here you go. Hope you like this anchor baby draped in a US flag.

New York Times reports that Henry Cejudo, the son of unauthorized migrants, has just won the gold for the U.S. For most nativists, however, Henry Cejudo is not a U.S. citizen. He is an "anchor baby".

"This is the American dream," said a joyful Cejudo, still wrapped in the U.S. flag. "The United States is the greatest country in the world."

Shame on this Anchor Baby for showing such much pride for Mexico the USA.
