Absence of federal immigration reform incites increase in state...

What they share is a determination to respond to the federal government's failure to enact immigration reform.

"It's impossible for us to keep track of every local ordinance that pops up," said Chung-Wha Hong, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition. "Advocates just feel overwhelmed, we just can't be fighting thousands of little battles.

"We would rather have a national debate on the national solution for this national problem that we have."

Well, Mr. Hong, here is the "national solution" in a nutshell (and no "national debate" is required):

ENFORCE the immigration laws
DEPORT the illegal alien invaders who violate them and
PROSECUTE the criminal businessmen who hire them

Amen!

It's time all of the illegal invaders go back to their country of origin. We are sick and tired of the crime, overcrowding and the strain on taxpayers that illegals cause. After they are deported we need to change legal immigration limits back 35 years to 250,000 . It now stands at 1 million per year plus relatives that can be brought over. This has caused a forced population explosion. We have quickly become a nation of 300 million plus. The only ones who benefit from this are the ceos of large corporations who hire cheap labor and exploit these people while hurting American workers.Com plexions of whole cities have changed to the point where people are living there and not assimilating into the American culture because they do not want to and we have made it easy for them not to. We need to stop ignoring the problem. Please visit NUMBERSUSA.com and help out.

Hey Taco Breath, unless you're an Aztec descendent your ancestors came from Spain. I can read a map unlike your dumb beaner ass and from what I can tell Spain is in Europe. If you don't like all the hatred STAY OUT!

On tonights news, the government fined Mc donalds franchises in Nevada for having 58 illegals on their payroll. The employers pleaded guilty of hiring of illegals and providing them with false paperwork. I'm glad to see the employers get caught for wrongdoing. I hope the feds do more of the same. I would like to see the Feds,go after sanctuary cities for aiding and abetting Illegal alien lawbreakers. New Haven's mayor issued them ID cards and no one in the government does anything about it. Why do we have laws if these pompous politicians ignore them? It's sick! Schools and hospitals are overcrowded and the entitlement programs are left to the American citizen to pay.

Most of us do not want reform, we want ENFORCEMENT! Keep them from coming in, save all of us money.
When one Mexican comes in and works illegally, he saves his employer money.
When that Mexican brings in family that needs all these services, it costs the taxpayers millions, especially if half of them wind up in prison.

[joan T]

The feds raided courthouses in Rhode Island this week after the place was closed. The raids were carried at the same time at different locations. The Feds picked up illegals who were working for a firm that had a contract to clean the buildings. This is unbelievable! Illegals working in the court rooms and offices. This contractor was getting cheap labor and charging big bucks to the state.

Half of them don't wind up in prison.

By the way, if illegals are really affecting you, then you made some bad decisions somewhere along the line.

[Rabbitrun66]

Illegals know our immigration laws, like the laws banning the use of a cell phone while driving a car, is nothing more than a big joke.
It's on the books but no one enforces it.
Who said "We are a nation of laws"? He/she must have been a comedian.

The only thing we get from leaders and representitves is lip service. Nothing more. Republicans and democraps alike.

[NObama]

Pass local legislation making it illegal to rent to/house or employ illegal aliens. Make the penalty a very stiff fine. The dollar amount of the fine should be enough to cover the cost of deportation of the illegal alien and all costs incurred while detaining the illegal alien until deportation takes place.

Then add to that fine a punitive dollar amount; a very high punitive dollar amount so as to discourage anyone even thinking about renting to/housing or employing an illegal alien.

Why on the local level? Because our federal government has failed us.

"Since Washington D.C. remains AWOL on fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities to secure our nation's borders against foreign invaders, it is not only incumbent but the obligation for state lawmakers to step up and do the job that our federal government refuses to do," Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler PA

“The fact that states must bear the cost of federal failure turns illegal immigration, in effect, into one of the largest unfunded federal mandates.”

ALL illegal aliens should be deported as they are discovered. NO exceptions.

If a person enters this country illegally, they should be sent back pronto.

As I recall, ALL of my ancestors came here over 100 years ago and through LEGAL means. The bozo who posted before you and tried to make any other point is the moron.

Hey PACO, the key operative word is "LEGAL". Ever hear of it?

For the most part hatred isn't the issue, it's the belief that no one is above the rule of law. Every advocate I've heard arguing in favor of the interests of illegal aliens has adopted and espoused the belief that it's okay to break the law.

They rationalize this argument by saying things like "they work really hard". Once the line has been crossed into illegality all of those arguments are rendered moot.

Local governments are going to have to continue to enforce because the feds have made it clear they won't. If not dealt with expediently this issue will never be addressed because those here illegally are bearing boatloads of anchor babies, all of whom are U.S. citizens.

Not only is the cost of financially assisting and educating them sinking our ship, but just wait until they all start to reach voting age. At that point, this whole issue will cease to exist because they will seize the overwhelming majority of political offices, and we might as well just merge nations and call ourselves Americo.

Nobama: Hazleton tried to do what you wrote about. They lost the case because high profile groups that defend illegals aliens hired top lawyers. Hazelton has appealed the case, but come november elections it will be a fruitless effort. Both Presidential candidates are for amnesty, and do not care what American citizens want. Their corporate buddies have them in their back pocket. Forget legal immigration as we once knew it. The legal immigrants have to be sponsored and have a job, and if they lose their job the sponsor is responsible for their living expenses. They also have to be medically cleared.

My sister has cancer and sits everyday processing the emergency room bills acrued by illegals (they have no social and there is never a husband) that will never get paid because they use an alias and a fake address. My sister has to work to keep what little insurance she has and to pay the doctors and hospitals for treatment costs not covered by her insurance. Getting cancer was not a "decision" on her part. She sees all of the free care these illegals are getting while her wages are being garnished for medical bills.

What bad decision did Officer Dan Golden here in Huntsville make when an illegal shot him twice in the face as he lay wounded on the ground begging for his life. Was it a bad decision to do his job and answer a domestic call? Idiot, people like you make me sick. Every CITIZEN in this country is effected by these criminal trespassers.

What scares me the most is its going to get bad, people are starting to see the truth, and when the anger and resentment reaches the flash point, people will start to take the law into their own hands. Just look at the headlines, its begun already.

Idiot.

I take these characters with a grain of salt. Paco could be a Jewish boy or an Oriental girl from NY making a first year of college deep and meaningful social comment.
