Easist way to stop illegals is to fine employors $100,000 a head, for hiring illegals. Second put bountys on all illegals heads, $5000 a hd. would save America at least $10,0000, and still pay the boynty hunters. They are private contractors, so wouldn’t have to worry about healthcare. Our healthcare systems would slowy get back to normal. Since the illegals walked in we can load them back in livestock trailer for a trip back to the border, we humane!

Question – Who was it that rounded up all of Castro’s throw away convicts et al in a Miami Stadium and not only gave them amnesty but invoked citizenship on the lot ftom Cuba??????????

And it’s pitiful that you’d try an use the excuse of a bill from 1965…

Myron… You should go read the”1965″ immigration bill… “IT WAS NOT AN AMNASTY BILL…

Myron … This is a ” yes” or ” no” question….. Did Ronald Reagan give illegals amnasty?…. Yes or no?…. And did his presidency come long after any Ted Kennedy bill?…you just keep avoiding the facts

So it’s a fact that Ronald Reagan gave illegals amnasty…. So Clinton really couldn’t do anything about illegals( he came after Reagan)…so after Clinton came Bush…. So once again , it’s republicans who never do anything about illegal immigration…. I realize I’m dealing with rightwingers with the intelligence of children but you have to admitt these are facts…republicans are weak on illegal immigration and I think they’re weak so they can have cheap labor to undercut unions and American workers…

Ah, Phil. Ted (Edward the Idiot, of Camelot) Kennedy, in the sixties, introduced an amnesty bill, signed into law, that he touted would “Not change the face of America and would not take one job away from American workers, nor encourage one more illegal (“undocumented” was not yet in our politically incorrect lexicon) to cross our borders”. How many were here at the time? About a million. Anything change? Hmm?

It is more than past the time when the majority of good honest hard working true Americans rise up in unison and demand a rounding up of all illegals, as well as those who harbor them, and deport the B#st$$ds!!!!!!

To paraphrase the wonderful, compassionate women regulars on “The View”, “What is it with Democrat women [in charge of federal agencies] named Janet?”. Anyway: “Don’t Worry, Bob’s here!” That was the punch line from a rather memorable commercial for a temp agency from a few years ago. I took that line, applied it to illegal immigration and came up with the following tongue in cheek essay: “Don’t worry, B.O.B.’s here!” “B.O.B.” stands for “Bag limit? Or Bounty?” (If Bounty, “Dead or Alive?”) It went on from there. Unfortunately, it’s lost somewhere in the old, real old computer it was created on. You, however, I believe, get the idea. Of course, the “progressives” who read it were “outraged, simply outraged” by it. I saw this reaction as a good sign, since they usually are by the truth. I also was saddened by the realization that “A Modest Proposal”, or something similar, could not be published in todays world of “Politically Correct, New Speak”.

Vic, I’m a Dirt Hauler in the Sacramento area. One of my favorite north/south routes to and from several of the rock and/or hot plants in the Marysville area is Pleasant Grove Rd., east of SR 70. At the intersection with Bear River Drive, on the northwest corner, amongst the walnut groves, is a little Mexican Market. In that little grocery store, on the counter near the register, are two (2) red corded telephones – without dials/keypads. Both are directly connected to Mexico via a money exchange service. In season, those phones get quite a workout. (“That giant sucking sound”. Where is ol’ “H.” these days?)

Ronald Reagan gave illegals amnasty…republicans do this everytime…. I’ll ask this again even though I know I’ll get the same ignorant answers… Because it’s you rightys bitching about illegals… Why didn’t you do something about illegal immigrants when you had the whitehouse for 8 yrs and congress for 6…. If it was me bitching about illegals you could say” why didn’t Clinton” so why should republicans bitch if they did nothing when you could have…?

Does anybody remember problems with illegal aliens before Roe v. Wade? Are not illegal aliens just replacing Americans we have murdered in the womb?
Ever hear the saying, “If you are not a part of the solution there is great money to be made by prolonging the problem.” Both the largest and most successful organized crime syndicate in history (AKA the Democratic Party) and the biggest and most successful organized beggars union (AKA the Republican Party) have discovered this. Have you?

Has anyone seen the millions spent to support all the illegal immigrants in jail? They get free housing, food, cable, access to the gym, and medical. Free to them but it’s our tax dollars paying for all of it. With all the current cuts to the “virtual fence” and border patrols how are they going to stop the illegal immigrants from crossing the border into the USA? It upsets me that schools MUST provide a Spanish speaking teacher, extra costs. This is America. We speak English.

FAIR is a racist org, enough said. Now to REAL FACTS.

US economy largely unaffected by illegal immigration

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 12.03.2009

WASHINGTON — A study released Wednesday concludes that illegal-immigrant workers do not drain jobs or tax dollars and have a neutral impact on the U.S. economy.
Because illegal immigrants occupy a small share of the work force — about 5 percent — and work low-skilled jobs at lower wages than other workers, their overall influence on the economy is trivial, according to the report, sponsored by the Migration Policy Institute, a pro-immigration think tank in Washington.
“The fate of the U.S. economy does not rest on what we do on illegal immigration,” said Gordon H. Hanson, author of the report and economics professor at the University of California-San Diego.
Illegal immigrants contribute a tiny 0.03 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, with that gain going to employers who save money on cheap labor, the report says, while their cost to the economy is 0.10 percent of GDP, which mainly comes from public education and publicly funded emergency health care.
The net impact at minus 0.07 percent of GDP means that illegal immigrants have an essentially neutral effect on the economy, Hanson said.
The report does not factor in the spending or entrepreneurship that illegal immigrants contribute to the economy, said Marc Rosenblum, senior policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute.
Where illegal immigrants do have a substantial impact, Hanson added, is in specific labor-intensive and low-skilled industries such as agriculture, construction, hospitality and cleaning services, where the share of native-born workers has dropped precipitously.
Because the U.S. has dramatically raised the education level of its adult population in the last 50 years — going from about 50 percent of all working-age adults without a high school diploma in 1960 to just 8 percent today — the native-born, low-skilled work force has shrunk, while employers continue to require low-skilled workers.
This leaves room for illegal immigrants to take such jobs at a low cost, the report says.
Illegal immigrants now account for 20 percent of working-age adults in the U.S. who don’t have a high school degree.
While the influx of illegal immigrants is one of the factors keeping low-skilled wages stagnant, the biggest losers in the current system are legal low-wage workers, both native and foreign born, who compete with the illegal immigrants, Rosenblum said.
Meanwhile, employers reap higher profits because of lower labor costs and more productive businesses.
The solution to this imbalance, proposed by the Migration Policy Institute, is to provide more visas and legal channels for unskilled workers to enter the U.S.
Today, low-skilled workers must have a green card — effectively requiring them to have close family members in the U.S. — or obtain a temporary work visa.
“We really need to approach migration control comprehensively by both strengthening enforcements and creating legalization mechanisms that will control the unauthorized population and improve the economic outputs that we get from immigration,” Rosenblum said.

First of all we do NOT need more illegals, and we sure do not need them to take jobs needed by Americans
This will only invite MORe illegals to come here. I have Run a business in Texas, and most of the applicants were illegal. Go across this country, and see how many there actually are, from California, all across the southern states, even up into MAss & New England, even right in DC itself. This is a FACT.

We need to stop the flow from all of Central America and other countries of illegals. We first pay their medical bills to have babies here, then we spend on educating the babies for 12 years each, along with all their medical bills for for most of their life, this is part of why we are going broke.
I know former INS agents that were told to let them in by congress, or we would pay $10.00 for a head of lettuce. BULL.
I am not going to blame any party, BUT STOP ILLEGALS NOW!!! Eliminate that drain on our economy, most of these people send a good portion of their money back to their homeland, so it does not really help our economy, only their homeland.
How many illegals do we have….we will never know as they hide at census time.

Warrior… I’d rather the unemployed in this country get some relief instead of wallstreet….I’m wondering where Bunnings concern was when Wallstreet was getting bailedout while President Bush was in office….I’m listening to Bunning right now speaking to congress and I’m again wondering why he wasn’t concerned about borrowing from China while Bush was funding his personal war in Iraq.. It just makes a rational person wonder if it’s just politics..again..

Lol.. Hey… That’s the typical responce from the right…too much fact in my post for you to comprehend?

Phil, go smoke some more.

Illegals ?,.. Why didn’t the republicans do something about illegals when they had the whitehouse for 8 years and 6 years in congress?.. This is just more whining and crying from Republicans that shoved the problem down the Road to the democrats then think they have the answers.. Just about every issue President Obama has to deal with are issues that Republicans neglected .. As usual…

The bill mostly covers added funding for existing gov programs. Congress tries to push through another unfunded stimulis and Bunning says hold on, how are we going to pay for this? Another prime example of what’s wrong with our leadership.

TO VOTE FOR JOBS IS A GOOD THING , WE NEED THEM IN THE WORST WAY .
BUT TO DO NOTHING TO PROTECT THOSE JOBS FOR LEGAL US WORKERS IS WRONG .

This bill should have exempted illegal aliens from taking American citizens jobs. The U.S. spends $90 billion dollars per year on illegal aliens already. If Congress were concerned about jobs for Americans they would do their job and deport the 12 or more million illegal aliens that are now here and their anchor babies, this would create more jobs for Americans and save billions of dollars in taxpayers money.

Of course Reid is after illegal votes. He is in big trouble in Nevada, and we are FULL OF ILLEGALS. 3 of my kids are out of work, but there are plenty of illegals in Mcdonalds and every other fast food and restaurant (not to mention other service industries) in town. They seem to be doing just fine and will not suffer from all the new tax burdens placed upon the rest of us by all the jobs killing garbage coming from Washington. If Harry Reid can get support from the population he hopes we all become (subservient and dependent upon gov’t) he will be the happiest guy in the world. It is his only chance of surviving the showdown in Nov. 2010. HOWEVER…and this is probably the only good thing about the bill. Washington screws up everything it touches. It probably won’t produce one job because employers are not that stupid…they know that a little tax credit will not support long term hiring in this economy.

Reid is trying to gain votes from the illegals, That is what this is about.

Scott Brown cast his vote for jobs… Good job…
