When Clinton ran for President he said it was "the economy, stupid",now I am saying to the open border people It is the numbers, stupid. In 1986 we gave green cards to 4 million illegal immigrants, which was amnesty,now there is 12 to 20 million there now. The people with green cards got 1 million one hundred Mexican immigrants in to this country last year , Now these 12 million immigrants want to bring their families with them to the United State we are now allowing approximately 2 million legal immigrants into this country, and now they want to bring their families, If they were to bring a wife and two children that would make it 5 million a year, which would bring it to 100 million legal immigrants in 20 years and there are hundreds of thousands coming here with visas and not going home. With the 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants already here, with their birth rate would add millions more in 20 years, so I say to you -" It's the numbers, stupid." As you can see, the numbers grow, and will most likely hit 120 million in the next 25 years, with all the Western states short on water. These states will have to share this water with millions more people. Imagine another 120 million more people flushing their toilets? And with that many more new people it would need another 30 to 40 million new cars added to the roads, we cannot repair our infra-structure as it is. How are going to build another infra-structure to accommodate those additional cars, and trucks. There are six billion people on this earth, and half of them are dirt poor, so we would like to help but no nation on earth can assimilate this many people like we are doing now. So I say to you again - "it's the numbers, stupid". Unless we address this immigration problem - legal and illegal - we are going to have a disaster on our hands.

Bush just moved 1000 ICE agents to customs...kinda shows how committed he is to the new "work place enforcement."

go there and start telling the elected ones how you feel about this.

No one KNOWS how many illegals there are in this country, there could be 100 million for all we know or MORE.

they ALL need to go

And so they shall....

Deport, deport, deport! No, I'm not racist....just a concerned American.

One is too many. Until the illegals are sent home, this country is in sad shape. All immigration needs to be stopped until the mess is cleaned up. Then, and only then, should any immigrants come in. It's time to clean up our own country and take care of our own. Will it happen? Doubtful, because the politicians are making too much $$$$ off of the illegals.

Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!,

Why can't anyone else do the math?
Well said ..Irwin.

The Globalists have already won. The US is just about gone. "Free Trade" has put you in competition with all the third world countries. Your standard of living will just keep going down until US citizens are at the same level as Mexicans. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves. You have sold yourselves into slavery.

If you really want something done about illegal aliens vote in a democrat president and dems. in congress.They will fix everything.They will destroy the economy so there will be no jobs.Massive inflation,super high gas prices,If you are lucky enough to get a job,most of you money would go to taxes unless you are rich.Terrorist attacks all over the U.S.Who would want to stay in this country.Waiting in line for days to see a doctor just to be sented away because they are not allow to treat your illness.But again being a illegal alien they will probably be able to go to the front of the line.

if ever there was a doubt, look at the recent quote from the new Pres of Mexico, "Mexico does NOT end at the American border." That simple sentance says it all

This issue is going to get very ugly, very soon.

Our "elected officials" have decided to do what they want anyway, even though the people have spoken out against amnesty, Mexican trucks, easy drivers licences, In-state tuition, etc.

I guess the question is:

Had enough yet?

The ACLU needs to be disbanded. All they do is work for the illegals and are teaching illegals how to get around our laws. Is that anti-American or what? We really need to get together and do something about this but nobody knows where to start. The President along with all the Dems in congress want open borders. We need to just elect people that WILL put a stop to this, Republican or Democrat! The only elected people whether in the house or senate that I have heard speak out against illegals are Republican so it would seem they are the ones to vote in.

The far left want to change this country and they are winning because they have hi-jacked the Dems and are destroying this country. Until the real Dems pull themselves away from the left they will just keep destroying this country as we know it.

All the left wing open border nuts should be having a huge celebration right now.

Our American institution ,The ACLU , filed a lawsuit in Sanctuary city, San Francisco,to stop The Department of Homeland Security from sending out thousands of warning letters to companies know to be hiring illegals and warning them they better start verifying social security numbers or be fined.

This is what the American people have been asking for.. To go after the employers!

Now we have the ACLU who is supposed to be protecting American Civil Rights,having a liberal left-wing nutjob judge put a stop to the letters.

They knew they couldn't go to any other district and be guaranteed a slam dunk , than looney santuary San Francisco.

Cities all over the country are trying to put a stop to their illegal alien problems and are being sued by the ACLU all over the country.

They are even trying to stop cities from notifying ICE when they have an illegal criminal alien. They think it okay for criminals who kill people.rape little girls and lots of other crimes to be treated like citizens and not be deported.

Someone or some law firm needs to sue the ACLU for using the name American Civil Liberties Union.They no longer stand for American Civil Liberty.

The time has cmoe that we take this to the streets. Bush is supposed to reporesent us. Instead, he keeps screwing us. We must stop his administration. And we can.

Keith,

No, it's more like waiting 2 mo. to get a doc. appt. and for an appt. at University hosp..
unless you've ALREADY have a disease you can't see a doctor for preventive care, because they're filled up. A family member has a $10.00 hr. job with no benefits has to go to the clinic..but without medical insurance, cannot see a specialist at university. It's filled to the brim....uninsured
Americans and ...illegals.
Americans should be first, recent legals second..and illegals ..let them hassle for an appt. like we have to. Why should the American Citizen be shut out!!!

I am a Democrat and I am opposed to illegal immigration. I have voted Democrat all my life but for the upcoming election this will change. My vote will go to whoever is willing to address this very big problem by removing all illegal immigrants from our country, revoking the 14th admendment which allows anchor babies and securing our borders. The way I see it, registered voters are Americans first, voters second and should vote accordingly. There is nothing wrong with voting for another party if that party represents your interests. The Democratic party, I am sorry to say, would grant amnesty if we voted in a Democratic president a this time. Hiliary Clinton is especially pro-immigrant and which is why she will never get my vote despite the fact that I am a woman as well. Personally as an American and a mother, I feel our politicians should be looking out for the interests of our nation, children and future childen and not the interests of every nation in the world but ours. So I have this to say, no matter how you are registered to vote, educate yourself first and vote accordingly. The parties do not deserve blind voter loyalty, instead send a very clear message that the corruption will not be allowed to go on any longer.

The 14th Amendment is still valuable, but it's poorly written for these times. It needs to be updated for today's situation. Perhaps "Unless at least one parent is a legal citizen, citizenship is not automatic."

Susan, it doesn't matter whether a Republican or Democrat is the President.
It also doesn't matter which party has the majority in Congress. They all have the same covert plans for this nation.
It will be a part of the North American Free Trade Zone, in the North American Union, and will be governed by unelected bungholes at the United Nations, who will be taking their orders from those at the top of the CFR, the Bilderbergers, & the bankers who own the FED. All Americans except those in the highest levels of power will wonder how the Hell they ever let NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT & the other free trade regulations were ever passed.

Susan, I agree with you. I voted for Clinton and Kerry, but no way am I going to vote for anyone who supported that amnesty (or whatever you want to call it). I expect the politicians to respect and defend the sovereignty of the United States. Obviously big business and the council Of La Raza don't want this, but, I am not supporting the people who don't look after my interests.

My vote will also go to the person who is the most alert on the silent invasion of the U.S.A.

I also believe that we will see civil war in our lifetimes, unfortunate unless action is taken and the public is made aware.

Death to the ACLU!
