You should call your Federal, State & local politicians and let them know that if they can't do their jobs.  Americans will vote them out of office and put someone in their place that can to the job!\n\nAs for your neighbor next door.  Change your locks so his anchor babies can't get in.  Give them a rude awakening that the FREE RIDES are over and that they'll be going on a deportation vacation.

Punish employers who hire illegal immigrants with jail time and/or huge fines. The same for people who rent housing to them. No jobs and nowhere to live will stop them from coming.

Our Senators said F.U. the American people.  I so agree with Godzilla.  Also think about this, how many more illegal women are thinking of getting knocked up while here as a guest worker.  They are supposed to go home after two years,  how are we going to make them go home if they have a bunch of American kids? We need to revoke that privilege if we are to curtail further illegal immigration. If an illegal alien has a child here, that child should be the nationality of the mother's home country.   They may start to think twice about coming here if we do that in conjunction with tighter security at the border, and making it a felony for an employer to knowingly hire illegals. We can't just have more border patrol agents because guess what, the word has already gone to Mexico and even more are going to come storm our border to nullify to new additions to the B.P.  What do we do now?

You are here in this country as a guest, If you don't follow our laws, your out of here.  Just like if you did something wrong on the job, you would be fired.

If this doesn't open your eyes... nothing will!\n \nFrom the L.A. Times\n  \n1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. \n  \n2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. \n  \n3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. \n  \n4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien \nMexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers. \n  \n5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. \n  \n6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. \n  \n7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. \n  \n8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. \n  \n9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking. \n \n10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. \n3.9 million speak Spanish.\n(There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County). \n \n (All the above from the Los Angeles Times) \n \n \n Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, \nbut 29% are on welfare. \n \nOver 70% of the United States' annual population growth\n (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York )\nresults from immigration. \n \nThe cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number. \n \n29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. \n  \nIf they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country? \n \nWe are a bunch of fools for letting this continue. \n \n THE U.S. VS MEXICO\n \nOn February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived \nin this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, \npelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession." \n \nDid you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government \ncontracts. It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for \nspecial rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. \n \nCorporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more. \n \n DID YOU KNOW?\n \nDid you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? \n \nDid you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? \nAccording to the L.A. Times, Orange County , California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members, 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing? \n \nAccording to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal \neditorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobste

Oh yeah, I'll be shopping on Monday.  Can u imagine if the government gave every illegal immigrant amnesty.  What a mess that would be.  They have no right to demand anything!!!!

They are not in this for the illegal immigrants.  They are in this for the going forward guest worker program that would bring in an additional 60 million poor workers over the next 20 years - about a third of the population of the United States. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/wm1109.cfm\n\nThis will drive down wages, while taxpayers pay the 'benefits' of Big Business's work force.  It is not being a Democrat, it is the 'Big Business' face of the Republican party.  They are now trying to buy off Republican voters with insane proposed Constitutional Amendments that everyone knows don't have enough votes to pass.  I for one feel that adds insult to injury (and further insult when you realize that I for one would be opposed to the amendments, in any event.)\n\nThey have a backbone made of PAC committees and Corporate Donors.  However, there just isn't enough Big Business vote to elect a Senator.  Poor things.\n\nOh, and about McCain, he canceled a speaker position for Bilbray, the Republican running for the San Diego House seat because Bilbray's opponent sent McCain a letter pointing out that Bilbray had cut down her own support for McCain's bill.  Bilbray had to cancel the event.  His polls have gone up. Of course this may also have something to do with his opponent being taped telling an illegal alien he could still work for her 'and vote' for her.  We vote tomorrow.  Should be interesting.

If the individuals are illegal, they should not be working in the US anyway.  If the immigrants are legal they should be treated as anyone else.  If someone outside of this group were to take the same actions (missing work unexcused) then would they be fired?  If so, then yes you should fire them, but if you would be lenient to others missing work than you should be lenient to all legal workers.  It would just depend on what the company's policies are.

im a contractor so i will say this.. if they dont let them stay or if they enforce the currents laws then you people can say goodbye to new construction, renovations, and basically anything else that needs to be fixed, built, changed or altered..we will have no more labor force to help us with the difficult jobs..

lets be honest  yeah the American citizens would work them but only the white lazy crackheads. They would work these jobs but not as good as illegals do because they know if they make a mistake in that specific job they can get fired and they can't afford that. They have kids in their countries. So they work hard to keep their employers happy. Do you really think a us citizen would tolerate cleaning shit, working 10 hours in the sun as a gardener. no because they're citizens and they have opportunities.Just Analise things. No one would do the jobs better than an immigrant.And you said it they wouldn't take shit from their employers. Right? So they would eventually get tired of cleaning shit and they would eventually find themselves quitting. Why haven't i seen citizens doing these jobs right now? They don't want to. They r lazy and most try to find easy jobs. Increase in the wages maybe but remember threes bitchy people that expect you to do the jobs right. No matter how much they pay these citizensthey wouldn't tolerate this.They can never do these jobs as good as illegals.if an illegal can find a job so can a citizen but threes so many unemployed because they don't give it as much time to look for a job that illegal aliens. Just face it the economy would slowly deteriorate.

Their absence is not noticed at all.  Janitors and yard workers are replaceable.  People enjoyed good traffic flow in California and buses weren't crowded.  Sorry illegals, your plan backfired.  Time to go home.\n\nThey have no proper documentation, spread disease due to absence of health screenings, refuse to speak English or assimilate, and demand to be made citizens!  \n\nCan anybody tell me why educated, skilled, law-abiding people from white European countries (mostly Eastern) have to wait in line for years to get a visa to the US and pay thousands of dollars to become a legal permanent resident (leading to LEGAL citizenship), while these illegals blow in from the desert and work under the table paying few if any taxes, get free medical care at any local hospital, get drivers' licenses to drive uninsured cars, and take advantage of a raft of social services and privileges (like interpretation services at any government office or medical facility) as well as endless material benefits? \n\nA Day Without Immigrants? How about a day without Americans, including police and fire personnel, medical staff at all hospitals, air traffic controllers, water quality inspectors, etc.? Perhaps this would contrast the importance of these gatecrashers with those who really built America?

I think it doesn't matter either way.  They will all be back tomorrow.  It's just silly that they are punishing themselves by losing a whole days wages.  \n\nAlso, many people talk about how this country was built on Immigration.  Well yes, but at some point we must realize that things are out of control.  When this country was formed, there were not welfare programs that people could come here and mooch off of.  Furthermore, if these people had rallied like this in their own countries, maybe they could convince their own governments to take better care of things rather than taking things out on the people of this country.  I'm sure it isn't easy to be an immigrant but if we don't draw the line somewhere, this country is going to go straight to hell and we will all be immigrating to other countries to get out of this one!\n\nIf people want to come here to find a better life where they can work like the rest of us and actually contribute to society then great, c'mon over and legally go through the process.  However, many, many people coming into this country are bringing their bad ways with them and therefore bringing more drugs, crime and taking advantage of the benefits that should be for legal citizens only.  Our government is exactly right in wanting to stop these people from walking right in.
