Both parties are trying to take the lead in opening the flood- gates to immigrants, legal and not legal. They see these immigrants as future voters and expect them to vote for the party that let them into the country. Politicians have their own agendas and will only listen to the people when they are forced to. That means that you and I, and others who share our concerns about the immigration problem, need to be in constant contact with our "representatives." We need to call, write, fax, and email them to let them know OUR position(s) on this critical issue. The bottom line is that if we don't make a lot of noise, the politicians will ignore us and do whatever they want to do. Notice the actions of President Bush: He knows that more than 70% of Americans are opposed to granting amnesty and allowing even more immigrants to enter our country. But he is ignoring us. What has he got to lose? He'll be gone in January 2009, so why would he care what WE think? Bush says immigrants (and that includes illegals) are "doing jobs Americans are not doing." But he fails to mention that very few illegal immigrants work in agriculture, picking crops. These immigrants are doing jobs "Americans are not doing" because many of these jobs are in the high-paying construction trades. And the reason Americans are not doing them is because they typically pay American workers as much as $25.00 per hour PLUS benefits. The illegals take these jobs for as little as $10.00 per hour WITHOUT benefits. We need to remind our politicians that we CANNOT AFFORD to pay the freight for undocumented immigrants (a/k/a illegal aliens). One study indicates that for every dollar illegal aliens pay in taxes, the government (that would be US -- the taxpayers!) spends THREE dollars to provide benefits to these people. Another study found that every illegal alien who drops out of high school will cost the taxpayers $20,000 per year for as long as they live here. If we don't get our point about this across, and SOON, it will be too late. A senate bill that is pending calls for providing legal status for all 12 million illegal aliens now in the country! Once that is done, it will be all but impossible to reverse it. Let's get going! If we don't do something NOW, we will live to regret it.

The question is: How do you get people to stop being apathetic and lazy and stand up for themselves? Politicians ignore you because they don't need to listen to you. Don't you get it? They take your money BEFORE you even get a paycheck. They buy votes with OUR money. Not their own. And they laugh at us. The insanity will stop when we put a stop to it.

OH you must be referring to Hispanics from Mexico that come here to make a better living for their family, they are never on welfare, you won't see any begging on the street, and they are always clean and work their butt off. Why would that be a problem? Oh I guess you would rather have Middle Eastern males here make themselves legal citizens only to try to blow us up. You would rather pick on hard working Hispanics instead of dealing with a bigger issue. What illegal immigration problem?

No matter what happens with the rest of the bill, they were going granted amnesty to all the illegals what are in the country now, all all the ones that can print documents showing that they were also. I can just hear those printing presses warming up. We had been sold out for cheap labor. It it to late, it is a done deal.

The just had a news story yesterday that explained how they "filled in a tunnel from Mexico that leads straight into Texas". They found thousands of pounds of marijuana at the Mexican end of the tunnel. I work in Charlotte, NC, believe me, I suffer the consequences of illegals every day because they swarm here in droves!! That is why I will support Mike Huckabee; he is in support of the Fair Tax Law which will force these illegals to pay taxes on there illegally acquired monies because it gets rid of the IRS and implements an across the board tax on everything! This means they will pay taxes at the grocery store, when buying clothes, cars, and anything else, just like we do! Meanwhile, we get to take home our entire paycheck, and no income tax reporting at the end of the year! We choose how to spend our money and where to pay taxes. This will also keep our S.S. from dying out and it will be there for our future generations, too! Check out FairTax.org or read Neal Boortz's books regarding the Fair Tax Law. You'll be amazed! We rallied just under 10,000 people strong at the GOP debate in Columbia SC on Tuesday! Believe me, they know the people are catching on and demanding their own money be put back in their own pockets! I'm registered Democrat, but Mike Huckabee has my vote now!! He supports my money in my pocket, so I support him! They are listening, it’s just a monstrous problem and hard to control because there are so many ways these people sneak through.

Money: Contribute money to those candidates who support you. Volunteer for those candidates which support your position. Vote for candidates who support your position. If you do these things and lose, consider the fact that the vast majority of Americans do not see a problem. Perhaps your question should be why does American business not support doing something about illegal immigration? The answer is easy, but implementing it is difficult.

The reason not much is done about this issue is that it would hurt big business. For instance, the meat packing industry hires tons of illegal immigrants to do extremely dangerous jobs for very little money. And if they get seriously injured or killed, well it's just too bad for them and their families. I agree with Charles Barkley when he suggests fining corporations that hire illegal immigrants.

Those people (illegal aliens) are criminals why are they being rewarded???
