  • I READ IN THE PAPER THE THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL ECSTASY DRUGS ARE BEING SHIP EVERY DAY TO USA FROM CANADA. WHY AREN'T ALL THESES REPUBLICAN HOLLERING AND SCREAMING ABOUT BUILDING A FENCE IN THE NORTHERN BORDER? OR, IS THIS ALL ABOUT RACE AND RACISM? Canada high on ecstasy by Barry Artiste | August 18, 2007 at 07:30 am | 694 views | 5 comments The drug trade is also fuelling illegal firearms.

  • so what if i decide i deserve to stay here now bec. i have the intellectual skills needed to contribute to the American society & my children are citizens here? why should i take them back to a country where they will suffer from pollution? this is their country too, they deserve to enjoy it. why should they be punished? they should be allowed to soak in all that they can as they grow up here. amnesty for selected skilled workers is what we need, not amnesty for everybody.

  • i am a computer programmer whose visa was scammed by my employer & immigration lawyer. now, 6 years later, i have US citizen toddlers & what am i to do back in my country? here, the children have a better life & there's a demand for skilled workers like me. i came here legally but the INS took too long to decide on my work visa application & the immigration lawyers scammed me all the more on the labor certification.

  • All of the presidential candidates want to offer amnesty to illegals therfore I planto vote for the best of the worse (Obama). I will then vote for as many republicans and/or anti illegal alien types as possible to ensure amnesty proposals never make it to the president for him or her to approve. I hope other people that this same approach.

  • Three candidates that are for amnesty! Each one is scrambling to see which one can pander the best to the Latino vote, but I believe that Hallary is winning in that race!!

  • 1.) REJECT Amnesty for Illegal Aliens! 2.) Support HR 768 - To provide that Executive Order 13166 shall have no force or effect and to prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes. This order mandated recipients of federal funds to provide any services in multiple languages. 3.) Support S. 1335 - To make English the official language of the Government of the United States. 4.) Support H.R. 997 - English Language Unity Act of 2007 Fax them now and tell them what you think ! http://www.numbersusa.com/dfax... The costs of illegal aliens The total cost is a whooping. $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

  • Illegal immigration walks hand-in-hand with National Security and the Economy and should stand out as one of the MOST important issues in this election. Illegal immigrants have broken our laws and many economies across our nation. Our borders should have been sealed BEFORE 9/11 and especially afterward. Self-serving politicians have no interest in preserving the American culture or the safety of the American people. As far as I’m concerned we have no one left in this campaign that “deserves” to hold the highest office of our country. They have all failed miserably! God Bless and Help America.

  • Watch out for the founding fathers of third world America. Earlier this week, President Bush submitted his budget to Congress with a 33% reduction for Border Security. He submitted this budget while our Washington lawmakers are still debating how to best stimulate the economy and busy REWARDING illegal aliens with a big cut out of the tax rebate pool that they are giving back to hard-working taxpayers like YOU and me.

  • Why can't most republicans see that a clean-living, successful and effective man like Romney, who has no baggage and stands for conservative values, strong family morals and an optimism for America, is the best man for the job of President. McCain has markers to pay and has already made a back room deal [W.Virginia primary] to stop Romney. Huckabee was complicit in this deal but denies it to his detriment. Typical Washington nonsense! Amnesty will follow. I've heard some people will write Romney in on the ballot; I'm going to do that if McCain wins the nomination. Hopefully others will, too. Wake up, America!
