What is even more dishonest is the way the Federal Government says that State requirements that immigration documents must be carried at all times are wrong when printed on the "Green Card" is a phrase stating that it must be carried at all times. Let’s quit helping the Politically Correct farce of the hyphenated American, either you are an American or not, either you are legally residing in this Country or you are not. Political Correctness does not change the situation if anything it confuses the situation and in the end causes more problems than it solves.

Maybe the immoral progressives have finally noticed the millions of potential democrat voters murdered by Planned Parenthood that they see another bloc of useless idiots to exploit.

Time to open a new slave plantation modeled after the black community, which has been such a rousing success story for them (not the blacks, the democrats).

The organization La Raza has assimilated so well, haven't they? What,??? they advocate the southwest US be given back to Mexico? They only want to speak Spanish? They should be arrested as domestic terrorists. Either you are legal or you should be arrested and deported, no services, no welfare, no drivers license, and certainly no voting!

Good post Victor.

Americas three big problems, each the 800 pound gorilla in the room are 1) spending and all things financial, 2) Islam and 3) illegal immigration.

On this, the illegal immigration problem, the first thing to do is build a wall on our southern border. However, a secure double fence will do. This comes first, not last, as it implys an honest desire to stop illegal immigration now. Then Americans can deal with the illegals already here.

It is clear however, that the democrat party and their minion liberal constituents want illegalism flourishing, its multicultural baggage and most of all new democrat constituents, keeping the democrat party from going the way of the dinosaur, into extinction.

It speaks volumes that liberals and democrats have to cheat to remain viable. It bespeaks the charactor of their collective mind that they have no problem pandaring America and Americas future for the Hispanic vote of today and tomorrow.

Obama, Holder and Napalitano serve an unAmerican agenda. If this were the 1950s HUAC would be investigating them. When it comes to illegal immigration they see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

Remembering a Three Stoogies flick where Moe says to his new boss, "Mr., you just hired yourself three good men", I look at the three good men America hired in January 2009, and I wish to cry out "help"!

These three, Obama, Holder and Napalitano are asleep, past out and drunk at the wheel, as they steer the good ship America into her future. Good grief, God help us.

One and done. Nobama 2012, vote republican. Thank you.

"To summarily deport those who have resided here for 20 years, obeyed the law, worked hard, stayed off public assistance and are now willing to pay a fine, demonstrate English proficiency and pass a citizenship test would be impracticable, callous and counterproductive." Says who? If they have resided here illegally for 20 years, they have NOT obeyed the law. If they are willing to pay a fine, by all means fine them, send them home, and, if they are /such/ good, hard-working, law-abiding people, they will apply for legal immigration and come to this country the right way.

My favorite are the ones who have resided in the country since the 1980s and still cannot speak English. I am still waiting for an explanation on how that is even possible. You can bet that someone would rightfully be upset with me if I'd spent that length of time living in China and could not speak any Mandarin or Cantonese.

" To summarily deport those who have resided here for 20 years, obeyed the law, worked hard, stayed off public assistance and are now willing to pay a fine, demonstrate English proficiency and pass a citizenship test would be impracticable, callous and counterproductive."

Guess VDH has drunk the cool-aide. It would be callous and counterproductive to NOT deport them given the opportunity. Not deporting them not only penalizes the tens or hundreds of thousands that are patiently following the rule of law, waiting their (hoped for) turn to come to the promised land. It also incetivizes more to follow (hence Reagan's amnesty is really why the problem has climbed to its present scale. And ALL of them are law breakers for simply being here--so by definition none could really pass that hurdle.

And it really is a simple problem to solve--if we can, within an hour or so, tell if someone is eligible to purchase a firearm (and one of the things checked is legal residency) then employers can also check. All we have to do is hold employers responsible (i.e. senior company executives actually going to jail) for breaking existing laws against hiring illegal aliens. Without the source of income they will start to head home. It really is that simple!

@ COS911 et al:

Anyone seen/heard/found/located results on the Alabama illegal problem results since the law was passed?

And I agree wholeheartedly ALL ILLEGALS are criminals by the act of coming here without using the proper channels. That includes the visa overstayers like the Moroccan wannabee suicide bomber arrested Friday in DC.

And I'd include ALL college/university presidents, administrations, boards of trustees and faculty who allow "students" to remain in school past their visa dates.

As for illegals who commit violent crimes, I favor road building the ALCAN Interstate/Province Highway with no mosquito protection or heavy equipment. It's also good exercise for the enablers, too.

Follow the rules or pay the price.
