What jobs are they stealing? strawberry pickers? Dishwashers? The real reason this is an issue, is the fact that the republicans don't really want to do anything about it. If you passed a law tommorow that would fine any company $50,000 for every illegal they hired, there would be no problem. Then again, you would be paying $25 dollars for a head of lettuce or a bunch of stawberries. People have emigrated to this country since its inception, they are the reason this country is great. Unless, that is, you want your son or daughter to grow up to become a dishwasher or farm hand. The republican party is doing it's best to alienate every group in this country except what they consider to be "the real Americans", overly religious, hypocritical, anti-science, anti-gay morons.

Yes farm goods would be more expensive, however no where in the range you think. I did however like and agree with at least one sentance, Fine any company 50,000 for every illeagal they hire, this i agree would no doubt cure the problem overnight.

Why doesnt our president just put land mines on the border, just like they did in WWII ? Put signs up mine field ahead, in Spanish and English to warn tresspassers. Put them at least a 25 foot spread on both sides of the border. This president dont have the nerve to do it. He is not very good for our military.

He knows it has to be addressed and I think he's waiting to see what the supreem court does with the Arizona illegal alien law. I know once it gets passed this herdel the president will run with the ball and take the Arizona illegal alien law national, this is the only way he can stop other states from jumping on the band wagon with their own versions of the law. If this happens the supreem court will be tied up for a decade with all these seperate cases and this will cost the tax payers millions of dollars.

If he speaks out he loses votes either way. If he went supports the Governor and law enforcement officers he would be alienating hispanics, if he says he's going to use amnesty to bring lawbreakers into the fold he's alienating Americans who believe in the rule of law. So, like Palin, says he has no cojones, and will just wait it out.

Its also known as "vote fraud" that is running rampant in California and Arizona. Majority of Americans supports Arizona Law, Therefore Obama already lost the support of Americans. What remain to be seen is how bad the illegals vote fraud will be this November. In border states like California, anyone can vote with fake driver license. You don't even have to speak English because ballots are available in Spanish.
Obama is banking on the Hispanic votes and those 15-20 million illegals.
First of, why all of a sudden illegal immigration became an issue for politicians in AZ? The purported notion that SB 1070 was created to bastion AZ border is a ruse. Yes, we need a comprehensive immigration reform but the shenanigan or even a half-baked senate bill passed in AZ called SB 1070 is politically driven by some cabals in the Arizona state legislature. Not surprising, Jan Brewer wants the legislature to revisit the bill to amend some of the languages.The Governor probe into that possibilities in the aftermath of the ruling which halted most the key aspects of the bill. Thus, I agree with the decision of Susan Bolton to halt some of the critical aspects of the bill as it stands.

August 02 2010 at 1:58 PM Report abuse Permalink +10 rate up rate down ReplyExcept the fact that the Obama adminstration has deported twice as many illegals in the 19 months of his presidency than W did in the last four years of his. He's also sending National Guard troops to the border, something else W never did.
But why let facts get in the way of a good hate-fest.
Love Brewer! Both tough ladies!
