What’s wrong with all of you whiners who apparently believe Congress should care about or consider the opinions of 80% OR MORE of the American public who:

1) want E-Verify embedded permanently into immigration verification policy and enforcement;

2) want the border sealed up tighter than a drum. I know one of the primary constitutional obligations of the federal government is to protect and defend America’s homeland and citizens. Does it really matter if those you put in office are failing miserably on both counts?

Get real, our politicians are on the take from special interest groups who contribute to campaigns at much higher rates than you average dopes living back in the districts they’re suppose to be representing...you know those of you who voted for them. You voted for these politicians, knowing they would choose what’s best for you. So does it really matter if foreigners are committing criminal acts every time they:

• Cross the border into America without proper invitations and documentation.
• Carry a load of drugs across the porous border destined to poison our children.
• Launder drug money to the tune of $65 billion to over $100 billion a year.
• Force a child or woman into prostitution or pornography.
• Send untaxed remittance dollars to their homeland…as much as $50 billion dollars a year to Mexico alone .
• Receive tax payer supported education and social services…approximately $8 to $13 billion dollars a year in California.
• Steal something from a retail store.
• Carjack the vehicle of someone.
• Kidnap someone…like the 400 plus kidnappings in Phoenix in 2008.
• Engage in identity theft…one of the fastest growing crimes in the nation.
• Injure or kill an American on our highways…estimated to exceed 30,000 Americans since September 11, 2001.
• Murder an American…estimated to exceed 30,000 Americans since September 11, 2001.
• Cross the border to use our hospitals to birth a baby, at no cost to the criminal…in fact rewarding the criminal behavior with U.S. citizenship to the lawbreakers new child…a child who will then collect welfare payments in excess of $400/month for the next 18 years; get free education until they drop out of school (at a rate of about 50%); collect food stamps; and well you get the picture.
• Steal a job from an American citizen or legal immigrant having the right to work in the U.S.A.

Even though there are roughly 5 MILLION unemployed Americans and MILLIONS MORE UNDER-EMPLOYED AMERICANS, why would any American complain about CONGRESS INVITING 3.2 MILLION MORE FOREIGN WORKERS BY END OF 2010…1,490,000 working-age (20-64) permanent immigrants…1,826,000 foreign workers on temporary visas? PLEASE, DOES IT REALLY MATTER THAT NEW UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS ARE NEARING THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION PER WEEK (670,000).

My fellow Americans why should you complain about a population that will increase by 140 to 150 million to nearly 450 million by 2050? In their infinite wisdom these are the standards our politicians, backed by private sector businesses that benefit from cheap labor, have set for US!

Find an oak tree for the ROPE, or get over it!

None of this should come as any surprise to us. We know politicians lie, that they have agendas, and that they are all greedy and self-serving.

We have right now in this administration probably the most corrupt gang with the worst agenda and the least care what ANYONE to the contrary says.

Remember: Obama, "I Won."
He means it.

Despite all the promises that the new regime in Washington has made to the reconquistras, it still seems unlikely that they will risk their very shaky political capital by trying to pass an amnesty this year (or even in this session of congress). While it is likely that the Senate could muster enough Democratic and RINO votes to pass an amnesty there, it is likely that there would be far less support for such a bill in the House. Such a proposal would ensure a high-profile (and probably futile) struggle there.

The parliamentary tricksters were able to pull a fast one on the American public with the “stimulus” bill because the public was largely unaware that Congress was giving away billions of tax dollars to illegal aliens. Except for devoted followers of Lou Dobbs, members of FAIR, or of NumbersUSA, most folks just didn’t know about any of this. That kind of stealth advantage would not exist in an
all-out amnesty fight.

ROPE has a lot of overlap with RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations). In 1993 Harry Reid introduced a bill that would have reduced legal immigration from 800,000 per year to 300,000. It would also have withheld citizenship for children born to mothers who were in the U.S. illegally. It contained numerous other provisions intended to curtail and punish illegal immigration. Harry Reid knew full well what was and is good for the United States, so what changed his mind? Nevada was flooded with immigrants and is now 25% Hispanic. Harry Reid is using his power in the Senate to sell out our country in order to get himself reelected. Nancy Pelosi represents San Francisco, where orthodox liberalism is expected on every issue. As a Democrat I have always found Rahm Emanuel immature and unprincipled. I thought Obama showed poor judgment in making him Chief of Staff. About Obama, we will see. He sold out American workers to get the stimulus package passed. Was it politics or policy? Legislative remedies are always possible, but if he is going to be a leader rather than a pawn he needs to take on Reid and Pelosi as soon as possible, and let them know that self serving reelection strategies intended to influence a few million very atypical Americans will not be allowed to rule a nation. And, maybe there are a few Democrats in Congress who think a democracy should actually be governed by democracy and should represent the broad interests of the people rather than the narrow self interest of the elected representatives. If there are such people it would be good to hear from them.

For the first time ever......I saw a front page article in the very leftwing liberal "SEATTLE TIMES" on Sunday, about the abuse of H1-B visas!

Must have been that enormous layoff by Microsoft in that local area that spurred them to finally pay a little attention to the problem of importation of H1-B visa holders to replace American citizen workers?!

Could they be waking up?

Roy, I do think Americans are waking up. I remember that when Jim Oberweis first ran for office in DuPage county talking about illegal immigration, he was considered inflamatory and extreme. Yet a few years later, conservative politicians are openly discussing the economic drag illegal immigration has without being blasted as extreme. Perhaps it is because this flood of individuals is slowly encroaching even the most affluent communities and impacting people directly. I don't read too many "sob stories" in the newpapers anymore. When people have lost their jobs, they don't care if illegals are deported.

This indeed is a frightening scenario. When I first became involved in the immigration reduction movement 10 years ago, I was told by veterans of this struggle that only a severe economic downturn would prompt Americans to react in large numbers to the continued stupidity of a federal government bent on flooding this country with large numbers of legal immigrants and allowing illegals to wipe their feet on our laws and sovereignty. Unfortunately, we now have such an economic crisis but far too many Americans are not making the connection between the economy and irresponsible immigration levels. I'm scared to death thinking about the fact that Roy is going to be proven right about an amnesty, but it's going to happen unless more of us do more to educate our fellow citizens about the very real danger posed by ROPE. What I'm about to say probably will anger some of my friends in our movement who see great value in staging small demonstrations outside Mexican consulates or a city hall, but I would hope that instead these well-meaning activists start using more of their energy to contact their members of Congress through phone calls and meetings when the latter are in their districts. So much can be achieved by having 6-8 people sitting in their representative's office than standing on a wind-swept corner holding signs that produce nothing more than a few passing cars whose drivers blow their horns and give the thumb-up sign in "support."

I am so angry at how this majority party can act so arrogantly when they stripped E-verify from the taxpayer package.

Since this package is a done deal in House of Reps and Senate. it seems appropriate that great numbers of angry unemployed Americans would march on Capital Hill on one set day and demand corrections be made. If the City should send police, then the media would show up.

May be effective to print some fliers and pass them out in the line outside Unemployment Office in your city. "Democrat Legislators & Administration Have Sold You Out. Foreign Illegal Workers Allowed To Take Jobs Created By Your Taxpayer-Funded Stimulus Package"

If I were near Washington D.C. I'd probably on the sidewalks with my sign.

Guess What!! They also stripped out of the package the CAP on Bonuses for the big boys. Remember the bragging to the media about absolutely putting a cap on bonuses. Well, they lied to us again.

Please help me with my reasoning here: Our elected officials just DENIED millions of American unemployed, a job, yet with same stroke of pen they DID NOT CAP bonuses for the rich,sky is the limit.
