What a horrible image of anarchy we saw at the San Diego border crossing this week when three vans with an estimated 70 illegal aliens tried to crash their way through hundreds of innocent passengers in dozens of vehicles.
Why did they do it?
I'm willing to say that a bunch of bishops and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited them.
Do you think those 70 illegal aliens would have put themselves into that situation if they knew it would be impossible to get a decent job with decent working conditions and decent benefits in the United States?
Do you think they would have taken that risk if they knew that the only work they could find would be minimum wage (or less) jobs with no benefits and no legal protections because the employers are outlaws?
The SAVE Act (H.R. 3308) would require every employer in the country to use E-Verify to ensure that no illegal alien can get a new job or hold an old job.
The SAVE Act would easily have passed the U.S. House of Reprentatives last year if Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) had not blocked a vote.
Nearly 200 Members of both Parties co-sponsored the bill and signed a discharge petition to force a vote (short of the 218 needed) last year.
If U.S. Representatives had been forced to vote YES or NO on the SAVE Act, I have little doubt that it would have garnered pretty close to the 259 votes we won yesterday on the border security vote on the House floor (with 85 Democrats joining all the Republicans).
And that is what would happen now, if Speaker Pelosi would stop blocking it.
People from other countries would stop risking their lives -- and those of others -- to illegally enter this country if we stopped giving away prizes to the people who make it through.
Speaker Pelosi refuses to stop the danger on the border by refusing to end the constant supply of illegal foreign labor to unscrupulous employers.
And adding a kind of unholy blessing on all this risk taking, anarchy and violence on the border, we have more and more bishops of the United Methodist, Catholic, Lutheran and Episcopal denominations sending their voices through the international media proclaiming that illegal immigration should be rewarded with U.S. citizenship papers.
I am not calling for a muzzling of the free speech of these misguided clerics. But I do believe that their pro-amnesty rallies, resolutions and testimony create the results on the border of crying fire in a crowded theater.
Send faxes, make phone calls and visit offices to persuade your Members of Congress to add their names to the growing list of sponsors of the SAVE Act. Let's stop the violence on the border.

Roy, Thank-you again for supplying the wealth of information available on NumbersUSA.
This criminal act is one of desperation, borne out of blatant disregard for the laws of our nation. Can one really expect a leopard to change its spots?
Where is the Mexican government when all this is happening? Possibly, busy printing public service announcements which explain how to procure ID when its citizens reach sanctuary.
FYI,in the recent faxes to Pres. Obama and Congress, each has a different number of total border miles stated. Just thought you needed to know, in the interest of credibility.

I am a Democrat and many of us our against illegal immigration, your forgetting that the amnesty of 1986
was authored by President Ronald Regan. Also, there are
many Conservatives who are for illegal immigration because
of the cheap labor it affords. So, lets not throw out
political accusation and concentrate on stopping illegal
immigration.

Always remember that Pelosi put $30 million in the stimilus bill to protect the San Francisco marsh rat but did not include the SAVE Act to protect the jobs of American citizens. This shows that Pelosi cares more about rodents than she care about your job. Sad but true!

We have this illegal situation because of the liberal socialist representatives in congress. For the last forty years Ted kennedy and the other liberal socialist democrat's have prevented our existing immigration laws not to be enforced. And they want immigration reform and open borders. California is broke and a big reason is the socialist democrat politicians they have caused the problem in california along with the rest of the socialist in congress. We have 83 democratic socialist representatives in congress and most of them are in charge in congress. Just go to www.dsausa.org/dsa.html and read their ideology, they want immigration reform, open borders, single payer Health Care, one world government, they are against capitalism,they want to spread the wealth.
In 2010 we have to rid our congress of these socialist democrat's and start replacing them with conservatives. And in 2012 we must boot this president out of our highest office

What Obama, Reid, Pelosi and others do understand is that if they get all the illegals legalized, they will be given voting rights and they will vote for the liberals forever...therefore they are guaranteed to stay in power and will never have to fight to win again....simple as that. They are willing to mess up the country for that!!!

Thomas, I think it is the responsibility of parents to see to it that someone teaches their children English and that the current system puts too much burden on schools. There is too much burden put on our public resources in favor of Spanish. The piece you have written however I think goes too far and as long as they can speak English with people like you then they have the right to teach their children their language and speak it with each other. Speaking Spanish is not an indicator of criminality NumbersUSA with 900,000 members has thousands of members for whom Spanish is their first language.

I am sick and tired of having the spanish language spoken in my presence and official documents written in spanish. I received a notice today from Social Security and it was printed twice. I say as I'm sure most all of you do if you can't read and write in English you have zero rights to any benefits offered to us American citizens. When the hell is this going to become the law of the land? This giving away of our country to all nationalities that are here illegaly must stop and I mean NOW PEOPLE. Get on the back of your Senators and Represenatives and let them know your mad as HELL also.

This may not make it on the post but I am going to try. This fight about illegals is not a party issue. Please do some research and see how many time Amnesty has been granted in the past. President Regan did it to and President Bush wanted to but failed. If you do the research you will see this has been done many times and by both parties. I just think that it is a shame that neither party can tell the full truth about this. Both sides will lie to get votes and they all know most of us have tunnel vision and memeories when it comes to Our Perfect parties.

Every politician,every clergy or religion,all sanctuary locations,all States,Cities,towns,law enforcement agencies,all companies that knowingly hire illegals,and all that don't enforce our immigration laws are guilty of encouraging,aiding and condoning illegals that cross our borders.They also have blood on their hands for the illegals that died trying to come here and for the thousands of citizens that have been killed by illegal aliens after they get here.
Now Linda this is just my humble opinion.I might not agree with every post or comment,but I'm here for the duration.NumbersUSA gives all of us like minded people a place to unite,work and voice our concerns about this issue.Thanks to NumbersUSA and all who work towards this lawful and deserving goal.

To those who think Mr. Becks Blog sounds harsh,it may be,but it is the absolute truth.
Some of our Politicians ARE inviting IA's to come here with their constant encouragement such as Pelosi's "You are the true Patriots" and her "It's un-american to enforce our Immigration laws".Then we have a Congress member who stood on the floor calling his constituents "Bigots" for opposing CIR Amnesty.
Some of our Congress Critters,who are paid with CITIZENS tax money and who are suppose to represent us do infact represent citizens of other countries and critize citizens.
Pelosi,Reid,Durban,Graham and ALL members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are a few examples of those who do invite IA's and therefore are responsible for alot of our border woes.
If our President & Congress said enough is enough,NO MORE AMNESTIES,I believe it would halt the invasion of our country or at least stop the brazen assaults by IA's on our Police & BP's.

The country that was no longer exists. Younger voters don't know that and accept what is. There might be time yet to add an amendment to the constitution stopping spending or giving benefits to special interest groups. The demorats want to buy the hispanic vote as they did the black vote via amnesty and our taxes. Maybe we could slow the demos by cutting in half or by 2/3s the number of elected officials in the house and senate. It should cut their spending by a like amount for fancy airplane rides home each week or the many things each 'honorable official' spends on himself and his district or state.

What the HELL is happening to our country??? Illegal aliens have control of our politicians,(Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Gutierez)to name a few, our biggest religious organization, (the Catholic church) AND the biggest labor union (AFL-CIO).
Look at the Facebook page for the AFL-CIO. Most of the comments are made by Hispanics. They are even promoting their Oct.10th amnesty rally in Washington on there. Why can't an American citizen get a job in America but an illegal alien has one in a high paying manufacturing plant or in the construction trades? WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!! We can no longer afford to sit on our computers all day and shout that "somebody needs to do something." All Americans of every race needs to take to the streets the way the Tea Partyers did on Sept. 12th and demand that ALL illegals be removed from our country and that our politicians restore the rule of law.

Probably not, no one strong enough or rich enough to do it. San Francisco loves their problems evidently. I find her(Pelosi) actions out and out treasonous. She is Anti-American and should be deported with her illegal pals...LOL
But I doubt the old out of touch gal is going anywhere, unfortunately.

I share the sentiments against Pelosi and her buddies, but let's stay focused on insisting that THE LAWS of our Land be enforced, instead of useless banter about BREAKING the law or enticing others to do so. Pelosi, when speaking about ANYONE WHO OPPOSES OBAMA OR HIS AGENDA being un-American, and those who take part in tea-party protests as "thugs", shows all of us her true nature. It also shows that Americans are not buying her obnoxious convictions.
Let's not be labeled as "extremists" or "thugs"; it won't take hoping for a plane crash or gun-toting lunatic to get rid of her. It will take enough political momentum, enough continued peaceful protests, and a turning of the tide against her in her beloved Party, to do the job the RIGHT way. That day is coming in 2010.

SICK ! sick of this illegal alien problem. What is it the Obama regime doesn't understand about the word "illegal" ? Stop with the "undocumented" and call them what they are ! These politicians (all brands,I am an Independent and have seen few choices to support in recent years.) keep raising taxes, rewarding high priced corporate thieves for being incompetent, talking amnesty for illegals, invading countries for oil profits under the pretense of "weapons of mass destruction" (they themselves are the weapon of mass destruction, this country is their target) trying to void the Bill of Rights and totally ignore the people who put them in office. We need a large broom to sweep all political offices clean from the top of the heap all the way down to local city and town offices. I believe the corruption is so wide spread that the few good will have to be swept out with the crap just to be sure we get them all. I work for a living, pay to much in taxes and health insurance premiums, have to be drug tested because of my line of work, not to mention FBI, Homeland Security, TSA and SC State Gov background checks. These illegals just walk into the country and get schooling, medical, a place to live and a job...What is wrong with this picture ? This is not the country I was born in 58 years ago and I for one want that country back. I could go on for ever here but I'm preaching to the choir so I'll stop now.

In Feburary of this year, Janet Napolatino declared that DHS and ICE would no longer conduct raids on companies to arrest illegal alien workers. Instead, ICE would start arresting the employers of illegal aliens. I don't think a single employer has been arrested since then. That is at least 6 months!!!!!!
I keep seeing in print, that 625 companies are being investigated. But those 625 companies were given a warning that they were being watched and so they had plenty of time to purge their employees and their records, I suppose. I read about a month ago that that ICE was finally, really, for sure, going to start investigating those suspect companies. So far; only silence??????
There HAS been one prosecution this year of an employer. That was the two employers who ran the engine rebuilding company. But that "incident' which resulted in 28 IAs being arrested, was a joke. That resulted in the congressional Hispanic Caucus "requesting" a meeting with Janet Napolitano in whch whe scraped and bowed to them and "declared that she would get to the bottom of this raid". The announcement of the halting of raids to arrest IAs and the switch to arresting employers, took place within a month after that meeting. That case was finally settled this week with two fines of $100,000, I believe. A pitance for a company of this size.
David3204 of IN
Sun, 09/27/2009 - 4:44pm

I am so against illegal immigration and have been for years. Thank God for this site and that we have the ability to express ourselves.
I would like to address your comments now. I have been writing to my senators and representative for a long time. Foster (Rep. IL) does write back to me some, but the senators don't usually bother to write. But on those occasions they do write they say almost the identical thing. And that is that instead of passing some laws piecemeal they are trying to get a comprehensive program to address the illegal situation. But these are just delay tactics on their part. They don’t seem to have any interest in doing anything except building the party by getting more voters. That is it pure and simple as I see it. They want power and they want it forever. That is why I think they are trying to position themselves to pass Amnesty for all – again! That is why I am writing them and you here, in my attempt to STOP that illogical approach to this huge problem. I am not against immigration but it has to be legal.
My mantra in my small circles is "TERM LIMITS". Then anyone going into politics wouldn't have the time to make all the "friends and acquaintances" and then owe all the favors. When I think about it all, I get sick to what they have done and are doing to our country while they were trusted to be in office to protect and strengthen our society and country. They are doing nothing but building empires for themselves - in my opinion.

Countrymen, women, Patriots:
This is not the first vans that have done this and this is not the first shooting. This happens about once every other week at what is known as the San Ysidro Zoo. The last shooting was the Mexican army shooting at the vans entering the US going North bound in the South bound lanes. Where was the media on this one? Or the Mexican Consulate? nethier showed because it would have been bad press for the Mexican government and they would have to have taken responsibility for the hospital bills of the two wounded illegal aliens. Or the incident that happened a couple of weeks ago when the van full of illegal aliens pulled in front of the Port by McDonalds after running the port in front of a van of officers arriving to work that was funny. Or last month when the vans hit the cement barriers and put three officer off of work as the were scrambling out of the way of the vans for their lives. And the answer that was given by the illegal aliens. I have a right to be in the US because there is no work in Mexico. Oh and don't investigate how many Aliens from OTHER COUNTRIES asked for Asylum because there is no work in their countries.

Until the owner's of companies that hire illegals have to serve time in jail for THEIR illegal hiring of illegal aliens, they won't stop. Paltry fines don't work. Firing their human resources people won't work - they're only following orders. Hiring illegals is a crime. If I committed a crime, I'd have to pay the fine and/or do the time. Why don't our so-called elected officials punish these criminals? I personally think Pelosi should be sent to prison for her anti-American activities.
Until we truly enforce our laws, the illegals will continue to infest our country. One thing I'd really like to see Numbers USA really get behind is STOPPING BIRTH RIGHT CITIZENSHIP. Anchor babies are a major incentive for illegals to come here - they ensure their parents a free ticket to stay here. If the parents are illegal, so are the children. Period, end of discussion.
NumbersUSA Moderator: NumbersUSA certainly wants to end birthright citizenship.

With all the problems caused by illegal immigration in Los Angeles County alone, is it any wonder why California is bankrupt? Wake up people; vote out any of the pro-illegal, pro-amnesty politicians. Bombard those in office with phone calls, emails, faxes to let them know what they're doing to our country. Unless we do something about the problem, we deserve the consequences of inaction.

Senator Ropes (Democrat) was in Preston, MN at a small grocery store, to talk to people.
She is totally ignorant with how things really are.
I talked with her for about 15 minutes.
I told her HR 3200 would give health care to illegal immigrants ... she said that illegal aliens were specifically denied medical coverage in the bill .... I told her there was no verification of citizenship in the bill.....
She looked bewildered.
I told her just this week bills to make verification of citizenship to qualify for medical coverage in HR 3200 were voted down....
She said she didn't know anything about that.
I told her that, as a grocery store cashier in Rochester, MN, I know that 95% of mexican women are on EBT and WIC. And that 99% of somolian men and women are on EBT and WIC. I know that at the grocery store I work for only 30% of the customers are mexican or somolian .... but they buy 70% of the groceries we sell (5 to 10 kids per family you know).
Senator Ropes told me that's not true.
I told her it is true. (I wonder which one of us is right?)
(Senator Ropes probably hasn't been within 10 miles of a mexican or somolian).
She said there are checks to make sure welfare isn't given out to unqualified people.
I told her of instances when mexicans and somolians I worked with told me what I had to do to scam the welfare system.
Senator Ropes looked bewildered.
I told her how they "borrowed" kids when they went to apply for welfare.
Claimed they weren't married .... single mom .. 8 kids ...
How many welfare workers do you think speak Spanish? In the Midwest.
I told her in 20 years or so the politicians will be losing their jobs to latino's just like the rest of us.
I can tell you that Senator Ropes is not "Outstanding" in any facet.

Fine and IMPRISION every employer that hires them THAT IS THE LAW IN OUR COUNTRY START ENFORCING IT TODAY.Two girls from our country walked into CHINA they IMPRISONED THEM IMMEDIATELY!IF you have a child in our country and your here ILLEGALY that child is also ILLEAGAL.Illegals don't pay taxes and even if they do every dollar made is illegal remember AL CAPONE.

By the very fact that amnesty for illegal aliens is being discussed; by the fact that health care for illegal alliens is being discussed; by the fact that the dream act is being discussed; by the fact that the Catholic church leaders and many of our congressional leaders keep demanding more and more concessions; by the fact that the Obama administraation has called off all raids to arrest illegal aliens working at various companies; by the fact of "re-defining" of the 287(g) program, etc., etc, etc,.
You can call these actions and many more just like it "giving the green light", encouraging, ignoring the IA problem and yes, even inviting more people living in foreign countries to enter our country illeaglly.

Roy,
I live just north of the border in California where 74 (not 70) illegals in three vans attempted to "storm" the border. That is a common tactic of the coyote (human trafficker). I am not a supporter of Nancy Pelosi nor am I a Catholic or supporter of the Catholic Churches views on illegals aliens in this Country. Mr. Beck, for you to say that Speaker Pelosi "invited" them is wrong! My God man, have some decency.(You are behaving like the screaming nasty Republicans. I am not a Democrat.) I have so admired your work and have supported you but this is totally wrong. It is a lie. Get the police report on that border "storming."Or I can have my neighbor who works for the DEA/Hoemland Security send you a report. This was nothing more then a human trafficker hoping he hit the jackpot. Remove me from Numbers USA immediately. I am so disappointed with you!
Roberta6584 of PA
Sat, 09/26/2009 - 2:24pm
Linda, you do not seem to understand what "invited" means or its correlation to illegal immigration. By not working or voting for border security and enforcement of our present immigration laws, Pelosi might as well go to the border and hold up a sign that says, "Come on in." That is an invitation!
Cindy3846 of CA
Sat, 09/26/2009 - 12:30pm

You missed the point totally.
This is an "implied" invitation. These Political Hacks are letting the undocumented immigrants know that if they arrive here, there is NOTHING that we will do to send them back and we might even give them benefits!
If you are against illegal immigration, what would you call it other than an "invitation"?
Kathleen7428 of WA
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 9:14pm
Linda,
I've been a democrat for over 42 years. I think that by saying we should have amnesty these illegals keep coming in hope that next year everyone will get amnesty and automatically become an american with all it's rights.
If a person in government doesn't expect people to obey our laws they are saying it's ok to break our laws, therefore they are inviting more and more to come in any way they can think of. Roy is absolutely right. If you gave amnesty to
prisoners don't you think the next day after being released they would be breaking the law again. These businesses arn't being fined enough. In Washington they just gave a
company probation for hiring illegals. Until they really mean business and shut down companies they will keep hiring illegals. Business as usual! We have to vote all our representatives out of office until then our country won't be ours but special interest groups and corporate america wanting CHEAP labor!
Michael6191 of SD

Linda, when Nancy Pelosi, speaking to a croud of hispanics says that our immigration laws are wrong and need to be changed,and she is going to change them, she IS "inviting" illegals to come here.
Stop getting upset over words , and start getting upset over the politicans you are sending to Washington. They have already screwed up your state to the point that it's almost unfixable. Between Palosi, Feinstein,Waxman, and some of the other bleading heart liberals Californians have sent to Washington, it's a wonder we still have a country at all. I am not a Republican either. I'm an American, and I want my country back. If California wasn't a safe haven for illegals your state wouldn't be billions in the red.

My question...how do we get Pelosi out? No one person should have that much "power" over this country. Millions of Americans continue to say "NO" to illegal immigration, and yet Pelosi and Reid continue to push it. So how do we push her out of her position as the Speaker? She obviously doesn't listen to "We the People" and she obviously is not familar with the constitution. It is she who must go. No wonder San Fransico is a santuary city.
George9871 of GA
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 11:02pm
Answer to that question, 'how do we get Pelosi out?', Lisa7886 is simple. And the same thing goes for Reid. Both are up for reelection in 2010 election. Vote them OUT. Even getting one of them out would be HUGE. However, the one thing we cannot let happen is have ANOTHER pro-amnesty juggernaut to replace them as Senate leader/Speaker of the House. If we can get Pelosi voted out but the Dems still having control, we MUST get Shuler, the Democrat Congressman of North Carolina who introduced the SAVE Act Bill to be the new Speaker of the House. And if we can get Reid voted out but with the Dems still having control, got to get Democrat senator of Arkansas who also introduced the Senate verison of the SAVE Act to be the new Senate leader. These are the ONES we got to have as Senate and House leaders to put the hammer down on amnesty and to enforce ALL immigration laws.
Ana2310 of NC
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 6:32pm
Lisa, to answer your question, we have to get out and vote in 2010. Pelosi can only remain speaker and hold the power if we leave Democrats in power. We need to have 1 more Republican than Democrat in order to get her out of that seat. The problem is that too many people vote for the party and not the person running. Maybe we should all vote independent and not put any Democrats or Republicans back into office in 2010. Put a totally new group of people into office and see if it helps.
Ralph7980 of CO
Fri, 09/25/2009 - 5:24pm
And the depletion of church financial resources is just the tip of the iceberg. How about all the "Care and Share" type organizations that enables illegal aliens to stay here during bad economic times and to send more to relatives in their home countries during good economic times. Most of these organizations are proud of their "no questions asked" policy which allows this to take place.

In just 7 states it cost taxpayers over $26 billion dollars for illegal aliens per year. California-$9 billion, Texas-4.7 billion, New York-5.1 billion, Illinois-$3.5 billion, Florida-1.7 billion, Arizona-$1.3 billion and Pennsylvania-$728 million dollars per year. You can research the other 43 states to find the total cost.
Health care, education, free school lunches, bi-lingual teachers, documents in english and spanish, incarceration, time in local jails awaiting trail, court cost and wic just to name a few. False documents and $11 billion dollars in health care fraud every year not to mention the taking of American jobs.
We need Congress to pass a law stating if your born on American soil that dont make you an American citizen and we need to close the border to illegal immigration and deport the illegals that are here. Send a message, no amnesty, this would just give illegals more government entitlements.
Remember how you Representative voted in 2010 and 2012.

The Catholic Arch Diocese of Denver has built beautiful townhomes on million dollar real estate for the use of illegal aliens, "until they can afford their own housing." Why would the illegals want any other housing? There is no way that could replace what the catholic Church is providing. I've worked hard for 45 years, and I can't afford to live in such a fine place.

I'm all for letting illegal immigrants stay in the USA. Let one stay for each Congressman who moves to another country. We'd for sure be getting the better part of the bargain.

Re: 3 Vans Crashing San Diego Border Crossing (legacy of not all
Last night Mark Levin on WLS 890 interviewed someone who strongly advocated NumbersUSA and talked extensively about the web site. WLS has a large listening audience, and this is the first time I have heard NumbersUSA mentioned by name. Hope it results in many more members joining up.
