i cant belive this reform still hasnt paseed even with all the mistreament workers take everyday were still being look as criminals, they say we take people jobs , ! yeah sure we do we take the jobbs that no one wants cleaning house picking crops or building a dam house on where peopl can sit on and still talk about how we need to go back to our country . Im so glad they now started talking about going back to our original countries because no one is from here except native americans so i dont why everyone feel so proud just because they got citizenship or a green card when there blood line run all the way back to europe. And people need to stop pointing the finger at us for the economy crisis is not our fault that. And what an ignoorant comment From '' Michell Obama of DC " what do you mean illegalls taste good by illegalls do you mean everyopne because not only hispanics that come here two so are african asians muslims ect are you so ingnorant that you only think immigrants come from south of the border. Im done sick of this talk about immimgrants WERE ALL IMMIGRANTS get it straight !!!!!

What is the big deal with illegals? They taste great and are quite nutritious. Slow roasted over a hickory grill is my favorite way to prepare them.

Everyone has the image of a Latino out in the fields picking crops. Well that's not the whole story. The businesses and builders have been building houses and commercial buildings and operating factories with the help of illegals because they are threatened by the employer with deportation if they don't work cheap or complain about anything. These illegals are working as carpenters, electricians, concrete workers, etc. The business owner has one leader who communicates with them in their language and does the hard parts of the job himself. The wages for the Illegals is usually 1/2 that of the legal tradesman and the difference goes into the owners pocket tax free. This trend will never change until there is a crackdown on the company owners using illegals! The company owners vote and the pandering politicians are not going to jeopardize losing those votes and the big campaign donations!

Bonnie Erbe trashing Obama can only mean one thing. IT'S HILLARY TIME...
Yes, folks, the feminist are trading in their saviour for one that more meets their needs. You heard it hear first and Bonnie Erbe fired the first shot. Its Hillary vs. the Annointed One. The two year party that liberals in the media threw for Hussein Obama has come to an end. If feminist are anything, they are predictable. Hillary 2012 started today and it started with Bonnie Erbe's column in US News and World Report. Mark my word people, it's Hillary time!!

USA already welcomes the highly educated and trained from other countries. USA workers have been forced to train their cheaper immigrant replacements before being layed off. One such citizen them committed suicide in the parking lot at his job.
Look at law firms advertising to potential immigrants from India for example, and see all the ways they have of getting in to this country.
The wives can no doubt register as "single" and then have citizen babies and receive welfare, as well as take up slots at already overcrowded colleges.
Teachers and nurses have quietly been funded and brought in from the Phillipines, instead of educating and promoting people already here.
go to websites such as www.numbersusa.com and learn about various worker visa programs.

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864

As I have been showing, your facts are not stacking up with reliabilty/truth. What are your links for:
"By the way, in the 1980s all Mexico's local banks were locally owned and served local business's credit needs. After they were privatized and sold off to US banks, mostly Citibank, there were massive bankruptcies. There is high chronic unemployment in Mexico. In the 1960s, 70s and 80s when the state played a big role in the economy and owned the banks, there was high employment and a large, prosperous middle class. Post-1990s free market capitalist policies and rapid privatization created the poverty in Mexico that we are feeling the effects of today. Also, NAFTA didn't help matters either."
Want to double check facts and source.

Re "many of those rich people are some of the same ones that do business with our rich people" (Steve of IL). Exactly! Mass immigration and illegal immigration serve rich people in the U.S. and Latin America quite handsomely and harm working-class people here and there. It's easy to see why downtrodden people from Latin America want to come here, but as long as mass immigration and illegal immgiration serve so well as escape valves by Latin American rich, nothing will improve. I'm one of millions of Americans who am tired of paying so much of the price.
