All things being equal, I’d rather be in America.
Where else can you find a country that is so willing to be a “melting pot” that we are considering allowing illegal—ILLEGAL—aliens the right to work in our country, with the prize at the end the chance at citizenship?
What people don’t seem to get is that it is breaking the law. That is the very definition of illegality. And now we are going to host “Guest workers.” Guest workers? What kind of euphemism is that? These are people who have come here illegally, are taking jobs from citizens, and eating resources that could be distributed among the needy citizens of the United States. As one editorialist put it, “We don’t mind ‘guest workers’ so much; however, we do mind ‘guest criminals’ in our jails, ‘guest patients’ in our hospitals, and ‘guest students’ in our schools.”
The language barrier posed by having approximately 12.5 million illegal immigrants in this country is astounding…and distressing. I went to my bank’s ATM yesterday, and for the first time, it asked me to press this button if I wanted my instructions in English, and that button if I wanted my instructions “en Espanol”. This really pisses me off! There should be no option for people living in this country. English may not be our ‘official’ language (an oversight for which I condemn our founding fathers), but it sure as hell is our ‘lingua franca’, the tongue spoken by the majority of the people.
I’ve said it before, and I’ve said it again: If we can’t communicate, how the hell are we ever going to get along?
Ship the illegal immigrants back where they came from…and bill their home countries for the cost of shipping. Then, put up a REAL border. Anyone comes across it illegally, gets a warning shot. If they don’t turn around, they are in violation of our laws, and should be treated as criminals and either deported or shot.
And so it goes…

According to the recent newsletter from Rep. Tom Petri (R-WI), this "guest worker" program would be closed to illegal immigrants and would be part of a crackdown on illegal immigration. This is acceptable; however, we know how well government crackdowns work. Witness the "War on Drugs".
Furthermore, I agree about the language problem. The first option when calling Charter Communications is, "para oír este menú en español, aprieta uno".
That makes me angry.
I have been most vociferous in my antagonism toward what is only tantamount to the Bush Amnesty program. The illegalities are rampant, and I have gone so far, via FAX and e mail, to suggest that any members of all branches of government including Executive who support the recent legislation being proposed be considered enemies of the state and be treated as such under the order of law. Fox declared a "silent" war on the U. S. This makes him subject to "war crimes" if only symbolically. I agree with your entire dissertation fully. No one who is here illegally has any rights except the right to be deported back to where they came.
Mexico is and always has been a corrupt nation that exploits it's own people. Well, our forefathers did something about their oppression without invading another sovereign nation. You fight for what is yours, and not try to steal away wha t is not.
I really enjoyed looking at your site, I found it very helpful indeed, keep up the good work.
