		<description>Dear American i&#039;m not conservative or hateful. There&#039;s not
enough room here to debate this issue but anyone who justifies criminal activity is plain wrong.</description>

		<description>Dear Bull sh*t, sorry I mean Bulldog, Its not a matter of playing the race card like you conservative spinsters love to throw out there, its called having compassion for other human life.  Maybe if you could stop listening to rush Limbaugh for a moment and get some news from some other more balanced sources you would see that their country has been devastated by our policies or free trade and corporate fat cats exploiting the country for all it is worth.  Most Latin Americans that cross our borders illegally do so because the path to do so legally is very lengthy and expensive and many of them are in dyer need of money, food, and/or medical attention.  To file just the initial application it will cost $95, which is very difficult for someone who is already poor.  Now I don&#039;t know about you, but I would do anything to help and better my family situation (especially if my family situation is due the the greedy corporate country to the north that will start wars, destroy villages, and air raid local crops just to make an extra buck for there political contributors)  Now I am not denying that it is wrong for people to come here illegally, and that is part of the risk I&#039;m sure they are aware of in coming here, but to create such a hatred against people is wrong, and yes racist (such as your comment about illegals slithering under fences, how derogatory can you get).  In every group there are bad seeds, whether American, Mexican, Black, or Chinese, but to create a stereotype that all these people are bad, and to blame them for many of our problems is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany (Hitler loved to use Jews and gypsies as scape goats).  My heart truly goes out to those who have lost love ones from any persons mis-deeds, I myself lost 2 very close friends in a tragic drunks driving accident, and of course the drunk lived and the law dealt with him, oh and by the way, he was a white man.  There are about a thousand times more tax dollars (billions year over year and ever increasing) wasted on weapons and funding and training political groups to over throw governments in other countries, take Iraq and Saddam Husein for instance (we armed and funded his group to take over the country then turned against him when he was no longer useful to us), and look where that got us.  Why aren&#039;t you mad about that, probably because that money goes towards killing little brown people and you don&#039;t care about them.</description>

		<description>Not identifying E-Verify as the perfect tool to extract illegal immigrants from the workplace, doesn&#039;t wash with the American worker anymore?  The once great US Chamber of Commerce, compliant with the ACLU, and other anti-sovereignty factions, have pushed our soft politicians to null E-Verify. Sen. Harry Reid(D-NV), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have lost a great deal of public loyalty, because between them, they manufactured excuses to undermine any new law that enforced our weak immigration laws?  Chief of Homeland Security is Napolitano who joined the other pathetic Senators, to stealthily direct ICE not to implement large immigration raids anymore.  This has also been noticed by the public audience in the months since inheriting the office from Chertoff.  By no means are these the legislators who are stating they are supporting E-Verify, or any other immigration law, but in actual fact voting against it.

 Their attitude shows up distinctly when they keep voting E-Verify being delayed  for Federal contractors who of all people should be using it. It displays their complete apathetic when politicians allow 300.000 illegal workers, making use of Stimulus money in the construction industry. The 1986 Immigration Act has never been  enforced, it has always been fully jeopardized and now the politicians want to replace it, by enacting another AMNESTY. Amendments to the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli bill is all that&#039;s required to add strength, to our border security and internal enforcement.

Even any new health care for the American people is compromised by the illegal alien pestilence, because a great portion of the uninsured in our nation are these people heading in large numbers to emergency hospitals.  In the decades since Europe saw the ingress of illegal immigrants into their countries, they have seen medical care sink in the quality of service, including rationing. Here in America health care has also been disparaged by  added forced mandated  laws, that illegal people must be attended to, for even the common cold--which becomes yet another financial impediment to the legal population.  It&#039;s just sheer madness on the part of the open border globalists, to keep feeding the country with millions of cheap labor. The burden for these services has never been financially appropriated from the businesses that employ foreign labor, but--ALWAYS--from the US taxpayer.

We have been brain-washed by the media and government that there are only 11 million illegal people who have violated our laws, whoever this is far from the truth.  We can not afford for another AMNESTY to succeed, and must fight back tooth and nail?  It&#039;s enactment would terrify the most conservative of financial analysts, of even larger obligation on every taxpayer. Of all the immigration tools at our disposal, we must not let our government exempt E-Verify from our ordinance. It should mandated in every human resources office that--ALL ERRORS-- can be reconciled, after being hired at the Social Security agencies.

President Obama has adamantly promised illegal aliens who knew the consequences of violating our border, a path to citizenship. Sorry! But the costs of this travesty cannot be even imagined. This is absolutely &quot;Taxation  without Representation&quot; for like many laws that quietly fall upon the American taxpayer it is ethically wrong. Just addressing the OVERPOPULATION concept should be enough for--THE PEOPLE--to  bombard your Senators and Congressman. Facts, statistics at NUMBERSUSA.</description>

		<description>Michelle you are just another person who likes to play the
race card. It&#039;s getting old and no one cares anymore so find another way to back someone into a corner. Wanting our
laws enforced in this country is not racist. All illegal
aliens should be deported regardless of race. The immigrants of 100 years ago came here legally and went through a tough screening process and assimilated and
became part of the system. The illegal aliens of today
slithered under a fence in the middle of the night bringing
all kinds of disease and liability. They don&#039;t pay taxes,
crowd ER rooms and over burden our schools. There&#039;s a big
difference. Wake the F&#039;ck up!!!!</description>

		<description>The majority of those that left comments here are racists, plain and simple, just read over what you wrote and think about it. Do you realize that people just like yourselves said the same exact bullshit about any new immigrant population that came into the US?  The Irish, the Italians, and lets not forget about African americans! How many of YOUR ancestors came here illegally? Do you even know?  Probably not.  Stop pointing the finger at the wrong people!  Point it at the corporations who hire cheap labor and outsource to other countries leaving us americans without decent paying jobs!  Stop blaming the little guy...they don&#039;t have any power! Blame those that actually have power, they&#039;re the ones that are ripping you off time and time again.  Your money goes to fund wars to make rich people richer.  That&#039;s what you should be pissed about.  Not people of south american origin who come here for opportunity! come on! grow up! Read your history!  I recommend &quot;The people&#039;s history of the United States&quot; by Howard Zinn.  Maybe you&#039;ll actually learn something.</description>

		<description>For all you idiot libs out there how do you know these statistics are true? Look at the source. The rag JN has done it again with their liberal view point. Even if the stats were true that&#039;s 6% to many more criminals. Maybe
if that 6% lived right next to these poor misgiuded liberals
they would sing a different tune. What a joke.</description>
