My house was broken into

Well, you always figure it will happen to the other guy but not to you. That isn't how it works. My house was broken into. An illegal entry was made and once inside the intruder helped himself to the food in the pantry. Next he took some money out of my wallet. Next he managed to set up a draft to take money out of my bank account every month. Next he moved his stuff into the basement and took up residence so he's living off me. That's not right and nobody should be allowed to break into our homes and take advantage of us.

My "house" is the United States and the intruder is an illegal immigrant. Suddenly a whole lot of people who would be up in arms over a burglar in a bricks and mortar house are up in arms because right thinking citizens want the illegals dealt with properly. Wake up Cardinal Mahoney et al, illegal is illegal. It's as simple as that.

When we always figure it will happen to the other guy, we're right - we just forget that sometimes we ARE the other guy...
I'm sick of hearing that we should let them stay, because they take the jobs that Americans won't - how about we send them home, & then deal with why Americans don't want the jobs. That would be progress, in my book.

HI
I think stopping the illegals from coming to this country is a pipe dream.Alot of people in high places make too much money off of them.
The only way that I can see to change this countries problems is.
1) Do away with the electorial vote thus giving control back to the voters.No more red or blue.Count every vote.
2)Revamp the tax system.Flat tax and tax all US dollars leaving the country.Mexico taxes all the US money coming to their country.
3)Gov't health care.Illegals get free health care and then we pay for it.I feel it should be the other way around.Immagrants should have to pay twice as much tax as US citizens.You would have to show 3 years of citizenship and employment to get medical benefits.
4)School systems should not have to enroll anyone that doesn't speak english.The schools are between a rock and a hard spot.Either teach the english speaking kids math and have the non english student fail the standardized test thus losing gov't funding or teach english and hope the english speaking kids can at least struggle thru the math test, thus keeping their gov't funding.
5) Anytime the gov't wants to go over budget the citizens should get to vote on the new budget.Yes we would have to vote more often but maybe this would get more people voting.The more you do something the easier it gets.

I know this will cause serious teeth gnashing by some people but some of the things we need to do include:

Make English the official language and not have anything in any other language. Require English in all educational and government settings and strongly encourage it in all business settings.

Provide no free health care to illegals.

Do not provide automatic citizenship to a child born of an illegal. Citizenship is a privilege not a right and the privilege should not be a reward for illegality.

Fine employers $1000 per day times the total number of employees in the company for each illegal worker. In other words, a company employing 100 people would pay $100,000 per day per illegal. A rich guy with an illegal maid and legal gardener and butler would pay $3k a day.

The less coddling and rewarding of illegals the less the attraction of coming here. Who are the fools if we give an amnesty program every 10-15 years? What disincentive is that? How does that help secure our nation? It's time to turn the vacancy sign off and retake control of the inn.

You know if you listen to the idiots and the press, we need these illegal invaders (which is what I have been calling them for a long time) but taking one issue, agriculture, look around people. I pay a lot for a head of lettuce, where is the savings they provide. A lot of the produce comes from other places, not the south west. So if I am paying so much for imported produce, why should I be concern about the corporate farmer who’s profit margin is high enough to absorb a reasonable wage still produce a produce at a reasonable cost.

Also I hate when I hear that these invaders will work at jobs that Americans won’t do. What are these jobs? They seem to be basic service jobs (lawn care, landscaping, etc..) that seem to be a niche for them and a lot of Americans work at these jobs – they don’t clean out sewers, work at waste processing plants, work in foundries – all of which I would think that an American don’t want to have those jobs. But with that said, I have to say that wages are not an issue, it is the taxes. I would like to have a job that paid $10 an hour when I ould not find work, my wife works for $12 an hour but I know that many of these invaders make $20 an hour and most don't pay a dime in taxes.

I hear and see is this need for their identity. All these rallies don’t have American flags, they have their native flags. Wow what can I say, you want the rights of a citizen but you don’t want to be faithful to the same country. Is it alright to support your culture but it is not right to put it ahead of the country. Oh yea I also hear this “its for the children†well got to think about my children, so that don’t cut it with me.

I may sound I am against immigrants coming here, but truthfully I can’t stand people who break the law and s**t on my country. My family came from Europe, they were sponsored, had to have jobs and speak English. The president at the time set quotas for these Europeans and tightened immigration laws. The government found people who were here illegally and deported them – no hearing, no ACLU c**p. If they can do it back then, they can do it today.

So the solution, simple

Close off the borders, Canada too. If it takes building walls like the ones in Berlin – so be it. No other country tolerates it and it is seen as an act of war by many. Maybe making Mexico a territory wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Absolutely no amnesty for anyone who breaks the law and immediate deportation – no hearings, no second chances, no nothing – out! We are tough on Nazi soldiers who are in their 90’s who are just as much a threat to the citizens as these invaders if you fall for the propaganda by the press – so why should they be treated any differently? Also with that, if you came here as an invader - no citizenship for you at all. Citizenship is a reward not a right.

No guess work visa, we already have a system in place and it works with the rest of the world citizens who work here.

Changes to make being born here from a citizen to a possibility of citizenship, eliminate this right thing. I don’t know if it is a constitutional issue or a treaty, I think a treaty caused this problem.

Make English our national language. We are the only industrialized nation that has no national language and no National identity, even most of the third world countries have both.

The last suggestion is confiscate the business that knowingly and repeatedly employs invaders. It is done with drugs and other illegal things, which this is also a felony so why not in this case.

Will this happen, no I don’t think so. Mainly because many don’t care to get involved until they become victims of a crime. Also we have people like John McCain (just one of many) who is selling out this country and can make a difference but rather not pi** off people who can’t vote and not of his state – what is wrong with the people of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas? Why do you tolerate your elected officials to sell us all out? I would vote for Hillary before voting for McCain, this is how much I despise this person.

A hundred years ago we truly were the land of opportunity and the melting pot of cultures was a big part of this nation becoming great. Now, as we see that opportunity going south of the border and overseas, everything that has been talked about here desperatly needs to happen. I think we need to look at tightening up legal imigration as well. I know, don't be selfish. But it really has gotten to the point where we are having trouble providing the American Dream to Americans.

BUILD THE FREAKIN' FENCE!!

Yes, that was then and this is now. Then, 100 years ago, we were a gallon nation with only a quart of citizens. Now we are a gallon nation with a gallon of citizens and a quart of illegals. We are full up. There are only so many opportunities and somebody has beaten them to them. It's time to lock the door and only let in replacements for attrition.

Anyone entering the country must submit DNA samples for record. Anyone illegal will have samples taken before being deported. When deported they should be sent back with exactly what they came with, the clothes on their back.

I'm not for confiscating the entire business that employs illegals. The government would ruin the business within months or even weeks. They obviously can't properly run anything. I'm still for the $1k per day times every employee times how many were illegal. The government will screw up the money collected too but at least the business will continue to employ legals.

We are not equipped to support the world. Fools like McCain, Clinton and others need to either become United States citizens first and foremost or get out of this country and go where they want to be a citizen. "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross, coming soon to the ACLU, U.N. and other idiots on it's written thesis or something like this issue.

Highway Star used a term I have not heard in a very long time. "Melting pot". At one time immigrants to this country tried to assimilate. There's a word you don't hear anymore either. They would learn the language. ENGLISH! The cultural melting pot which is America is what made this country great. Not diversity. If you are a legal citizen then you are an American. You are an American first and foremost. You are not Expedite American, Swedish American, Afro American, Nazi American or whatever American. You are an AMERICAN. If you must be more specific place your modifier after AMERICAN. Not before.

To Highway Star's "BUILD THE FREAKN' FENCES" I would like to add, use the people from "Diversityville" as fence posts. Preferably planted head first.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, where's my $#@&%^ blood pressure medication.

AMEN to American streight up. I have Vietnamese neighbors, 4 different families. They work very hard to speak English and are so excitited to get citizenship in the United States. My wife made them a cassett tape of answers in English to the test for citizenship. They couldn't thank her enough for that.
I also lost some childhood friends in Vietnam, that still hurts. Blame Washington D.C. for that mess as usual.
My 2 cents, some people born here I can't understand their speech!!!!

I think Moot hit that nail dead-on, hope he can keep it up without requiring meds for his BP, cause it needs to be said. Immigrants used to behave like the guests they were, (until they become citizens, they are guests - but only if they arrived legally!), they brought much of their own culture, but knew that a guest is obligated to follow the host's rules. They didn't expect us to learn their language, or adopt their customs - though we were welcome to share what they had to offer. We gained a lot from the exposure, and they became Americans, which was their goal.
They don't seem to have that goal anymore. They seem to be forgetting that we didn't move to their country - we like being Americans, & don't want to change our rules to accomodate our guests - if they don't like the rules, they can go home, seeya, byebye.
America needs to return to the time tested rule of raising rebellious children: "My house - my rules. If you can't abide by my rules - go live somewhere else"

Excellent point, this was a subject of a presidential campaign in 1912.

The hyphenated citizen is not a good thing and only exist here in America.

I sometimes say I am an American of Italian, Sicilian, Austrian and Austrian-Hungarian descent but never Italian, Sicilian, Austrian and Austrian-Hungarian – American

Illegal is illegal. It's a very simple concept anyone should be able to understand. It shouldn't be tolerated and there should be no amnesty whether it's illegally entering a person's brick and mortar home or illegally entering a nation. Illegals should be thanking Bush and all the rest of them. They've completely failed their responsibility to the citizens who belong here and have a right to be here.

Just a fact I heard on the Radio.

Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, NC resides in the boundries of this county.

5 out of 7 Vehicular Hommicides currently being prosicuted in this county are Illegal Hispanics. Hispanics population % estimated at 8% of the total population in the boundries of Mecklenburg County.

Three of these accidents have been from entering onto an Expressway the wrong direction(2 of them on 485 with in two miles of each other) vehicles traveling in excess of 90mph wrong way on an interstate. That was the slowest the top one was 114 mph. Think none of these did not have any alchol, than add in cannot read english what a combination for a sad ending to a legal citizen going to school or work. Why does one not have to read English in an English speaking country to be legal behind the wheel? There are signs posted WRONG WAY DO NOT ENTER. But being drunk and not being able to read WOW sad, very sad.

Years ago I wrote to Senator Sue Myrick, NO RESPONSE since complaining about this very thing of illegal immigrants. I hired one that I got a letter from the IRS SS was not matching re-check and re file was the request. Guy fessed up all illegal paperwork. Think this did not cost me a bundle. To top it off the one legal document he did have was a North Carolina Drivers License.

This is the one Issue that Goerge has screwed up big time. I am not happy with him as our President. This is the rash on my rear that has totaly dissipointed me with him. Does not seem to care at all about the issue at hand. Only reason he got my vote seemed to be the better choice, I still stand by that decision but like I said not happy with the choices or direction of this issue.
