I'm sorry for the hardship these people have to go through, but they are not the only ones having problems. This guy is obviously a hard worker and should have started his legal immigration process many years ago. It would probably help if they would work as hard on fixing the problems down there as they do trying to get up here.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...s.196ae9d.html

Edit: A few years ago, I had a Mexican guy that done all the work on the family cars. He had a small shop, was a good mechanic, worked hard and was dependable. He was born in Texas, but his wife was not. Before he brought her over here, he had started her legalization papers. When she got her citizenship, you could not find two happier people! They had an "American Dream" and fulfilled the way it should be. The bad.....they bought a house and he went to work for a dealership, and I lost my mechanic.

Does anyone know what the percentage is,or the gross number of possible/registered/real Hispanics/other voters to whom both parties are pandering?I'm no rocket scientist but it seems like copious quantities of of money and hot air are being spent on not that many people.This then begs the question...are the two parties platforms the same,but couched in different terms and,that the only way of winning the election is to psychologically bully splinter groups to effect what will be a hollow victory as nothing is going to change.

It's a slow night at work, so here's my if I were King and my boarder plan.

Put Americans to work finishing the fence on our southern boarder.

Fine and jail companies found hiring illegals, in California we are starting on construction sites. After cleaning them up then we are going to the local eateries. Home owners you better get your lazy a$$ kid off his butt and get him mowing the lawn because we're coming after you too and while you're at it you better get him a bucket and a sponge because car washes are on the radar screen.

We're going to sieze bank accounts that illegals have YA GOT THAT Bof A? All found monies will be applied to the national debt.

Now all of you in the agra business arena you're next. By now you've had time to figure out whats coming and you should have changed your ways. If you haven't some of you are going to get a nice room at the cross bar hotel, and make a donation to my favorite charity the national debt.

Manufacturing you're next on the list of an all expense paid vacation to the Federal resort of my choice if you are caught with illegals working for you.

Teach your hi schooler to learn "Would you like fries with that?" because the next car at the drive thru is going to be collecting donations for free travel to a location outside our boarders.

AZ, New Mexico and Texas residents you can prioritize the areas you want attended to first. But make no mistake we are coming to a field near you soon.

I'd hate our neighbors to the north to feel left out so we have to plan out a way to secure our boarder to the north.

One more thing anchor babies. We are going to "way the anchor" and they aren't going to allow you to stay.

Non American trucks with non legal citizens coming through the boarders get to go to customs and unload, cuz nothing is traveling through our great land unless you and your rig are here legally.

Sanctuary cities and states you are getting your federal funding cut and jail time for the elected officals allowing this to go on.

If I'm all wet let me know or tell me where I missed something and feel free to add it.

About the only thing I would add is that to fill the holes left by the un-dearly departed those people on welfare that are physically and mentally able better dry out and get the junk outta their systems cuz as a condition of your welfare check you are gonna get drug tested and put to work doing some of these jobs that are now suddenly available.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County Arizona believes in arresting every illegal and locking them up. His theory is if they are in jail and not making money, it defeats the purpose of why they are here, “to make money to send home”. After a few days of eating his jail served bologna sandwiches, most are glad to go home. The only shame is that he has to fight the liberals every time he conducts his raid.

Sheriff Joe is defiantly a one-of-a-kind guy.

When you shine the light of day on the illegal alien stampede across our borders it sure does not support the popular media and leftist contention that the good old USA is hated by all the foreigners!

If we are so hated, why are they all trying to get here any way they can?

What is worse, why do our entrenched politicians fear clamping down and kicking them back where they came from?

Hmm, I wonder if it is because big money lobbyists are paying off our political leaders to look the other way so wages can remain low and wage and benefit equalization called for by NAFTA can continue on schedule?

I sometimes wonder if we are being deliberately lied to by our elected officials, or if the general public is just so dumb they are unable to read the full treaty and its addenda?

Oh well, just let the instant gratification media and the big money special interests control the masses, they are unable to reach logical conclusions on their own, or we would have a massive call for a solution to this problem; and there would be action once the politicians knew the public was serious.
