Yes, illegal immigration is a crime, which makes it sinful (doesn't the bible tell us to obey those who have rule over us?) and any sin pleases satan.  To keep in the biblical theme here....\n\n5,000 years ago Moses said, "Pick up your shovel, pack your ass, mount your camel and I shall lead you to the Promised Land."\n\n200-plus years ago, George Washington said, "Get off your ass, use your shovel, clear the land, grow plants for Camels and it will be the promised land." \n\nLast week the Congress of the United States said "Si, Amigos, throw away your shovel, sit on your ass, light your Camels. We're giving you the promised land."

There would be allot less Americans of all colors on welfare if the low estimate of 12 million illegals didn't have their jobs.  The high numbers of Americans on Welfare should say THAT loud and clear.

quote from cited link\nquote\nsmuggling\nThe US Government estimates that 500,000 illegal migrants are brought into the United States annually by organized alien smuggling networks; another estimated half-million enter without the assistance of alien smugglers. Most illegal migrants enter the United States overland from Mexico or Canada. \nAccording to US Government estimates, some 500,000 to 600,000 illegal migrants who entered the United States in 1999 were Mexican nationals, and another 225,000 were Central American nationals. \nChinese smugglers, known as snakeheads, often move aliens into the United States by maritime vessels, including offshore transfers of migrants, but also transit South and Central America, Mexico, and Canada. The US Government estimates that 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese were smuggled into the United States in 1999. \nAlien smuggling contributes to the broader problem of increasing numbers of foreign nationals illegally resident in the United States, as well as in other relatively prosperous countries, who are straining social and economic resources and contributing to rising crime and anti-immigrant sentiment. Illegal aliens undermine wages and working conditions for legal employees, increasing the potential health and safety risks to the work force. Illegal immigration also increases the burden and cost of some government social programs. \nunquote\n\nhttp://www.fas.org/irp/threat/pub45270chap2.html#4\n\nnote: and stop being so focused on mexico\nhere link topeople smuggling in England\nexerpt from cited link\nquote\nThe illegal immigrants, smuggled in from the Kurdish areas of Turkey, pay between £3,000 and £5,000 for journeys which often take months, said police. \nunquote\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4329374.stm\n\nAND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....ever hear of MS13??\nquote from cited link\nquote\nIn Texas and the Rio Grande area, MS-13 has become particularly profitable.

fenchurch is wrong in stating that most are here legally. INS statistics say otherwise, to the tune of about 8-10 million people depending on which survey you read. Illegal immigrants cannot legally vote, although many have forged ID's and Social Security cards, so some may have tried it and succeeded (depending on how well their backgrounds were checked, which generally isn't very well). Illegal immigrants are basically spitting in the faces of all who came to this country LEGALLY, through the proper channels, like my ancestors had to. And the liberals don't even call them illegals anymore-which they are. They call them "undocumented aliens". What a joke.

From what I've heard, a lot of illegal immigrants are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.  Law-abiding except for the illegal immigration, of course.

""About 10% of the Asian and Pacific-Islander population in the USA is undocumented, compared with 19% of the Latino population, he says."".\n\nWOW THE ABOVE QUOTE IS INTERESTING.  10% IS STILL A LARGE AMOUNT AND NOT MUCH SMALLER THAN THE ILLEGAL LATINO POPULATION.  BUT HEARING IT FROM THE BIGOTS LIKE PAT BUCHANAN AND YAHOO USERS, ALL ILLEGALS ARE LATINOS.

The media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS  and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America under the flag of Mexico. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly under the flag of a foreign country to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES  in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION  to DEFEND AMERICA , and  JUST SAY NO !!!\n\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE\n \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag\nBy WAVING YOURS In My FACE\nAnd WALKING On MINE??? \n\nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My AMERICAN BROTHERS Of ANY DESCENT

On March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\n      On March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. On March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and here in \nSacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The counterfeit Senate is to begin \ntheir bickering on March 28, 2006.\n\nOur economy will not fail by rounding up illegals and deporting them. \nOn ABC This Week, March 26, 2006, weasel Arlen Specter, hauled out the other big lie, "We have created a need for these workers who will do the work Americans won't." \n\nBull. Once we begin to deport these criminals, Americans \nwill step in and do the jobs - jobs that have been taken away from them because employers have turned a blind eye to the law and are looking for cheap labor. As for Arlen Specter: why is he still sitting on his backside doing nothing while banks in this country are knowingly and aggressively violating federal law by giving home mortgages to criminals (illegals). Congress and the Department of Justice are simply ignoring this outrage, yet Specter blathers on the stupid tube that these 15 million plus criminals should be given a free pass. \n\nTom Tancredo was the other guest on the aforementioned show and he said it right: We don't need any new laws, enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books.\n\n This IS what's coming right to your neighborhood: One of these days in the near future, these millions of illegals are going to become berserkers. It is the intention of Mexicans to "reclaim" the four border states and merge them back with Mexico and they are willing to do it with violence. These 15 million plus illegals will go on a rampage the minute any serious round up and deportation begins, but it must get done for the very surivival \nof our republic, our standard of living and our culture. Reasonable immigration of less than 100,000 per year is more than appropriate and it worked well for a very long time.\n\n      We cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. The stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care while they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally if you're a terrorist, no problem, go \nahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools. Nothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of illegals aready here while the illegals rub their \nlawlessness in our faces.\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: \n\nImmigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have &quot

The INS estimates 7 million.  But there's no way to acheive accuracy.

I am hispanic, and I implore you to cast aside any idea that we should give amensty to ANY illegal immigrant.  We must stay true to the ideal of rule of law and fairness, and 20 million illegal immigrants have turned their back on that ideal.  They should not be rewarded.

not all are for illegal immigration i guess you take scriptures and justify anything but i think god would tell mexico to help themselves and admitt wrong doing in this as well!\n\nOh Lord God Almighty, the supply and supplier of faith and freedom, how excellent is Your name in all the earth. You are great and greatly to be praised. God, as we conclude this 55th inaugural ceremony, we conclude it with an attitude of thanksgiving. Thank You for protecting America's borders. After all, the Psalmist reminds us, unless You, O God, guard the territory, our efforts will be in vain. \nExodus 23:20-31 "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River. I will hand over to you the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you.\n\nExodus 20:12-17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."\n\nProverbs 25:17-17 17 "Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you."\n\nLeviticous 19:11-"'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly."\n\nand yes jesus said help the poor but he never said let anyone run over you.\nThe Bible never supports people tresspassing into others lands in an inappropriate manner. The Bible never supported open borders for the Bible says that boundaries were ordained of God. It was the Tower of Babel that promoted an open border system
