Because he is one of the few Americans we have left. All the rest are more interested in being at the top of the chain of command in the One World Government they've been dreaming of!\n\nI'll defend my beautiful country to the death.\n\nRED * White * Blue - Those colors don't run!

Yes, and even the House Bill is weak on this point. Somehow while others need only 'recklessness' about an illegals status, the employers need 'actual knowledge' that they are hiring 8 or more illegal aliens before criminal penalties attach.  Granted we may not want to pick up the old lady who is totally dependent on illegal immigrant home care she has had for years, unknowing.  However, this loophole for employers shows that their lobbyists are very active in pulling the teeth where teeth are most needed.

Bush isn't going a good job on anything, let along border security.  Did you know the Oregon boarder is protected by all of three state troopers?  I met one last summer when I was camping.  And keeping Mexicans out isn't 'border' protection, neither is locking up Canada.  Its being a jerk and trying to push another issue.  He's doing much less than what the media and he shows to the public when it comes to actual homeland security.

Border Patrol. I live in Arizona, and appreciate the work that our Sheriff, Joe Arpaio is doing in arresting illegal immigrants and coyotes. He is doing something that all law enforcement officials should have been doing, securing our borders and letting anyone here illegally know that you can not break the laws..

Sensenbrenner is a scumbag and a corporate whore and I'm ashamed that he is from my state. What about the businesses that hire illegals? Shouldn't they be held responsible for hiring them? The way Sensenbrenner layed out his plan if a priest or church help an illegal by feeding them or offering aid in anyway they would be guilty of a felony.

... I mean... they almost couldn't really rule any other way... these are fundamental American bases of justice we're talking about... \n\nit's a little silly that the "attorney general" makes up excuses for all of his actions... talk about a puppet...

I'm with you.  I just can't understand why this is allowed to happen.  I just keep asking, "what part of illegal are they having trouble with"?  And as far as the government is concerned, what can I say?  The whole thing just frosts me.  I almost never vote for an incumbent and after this I may remove the word "almost" from that statement.\n\nI'm sure you understand that if we legalize all of them right now, it will only lead to more illegals entering to take the $.50 an hour jobs these folks will no longer qualify for.  \n\nI give up.  I am so flustered I can't even make sense of my own thoughts.

Its not gonna work this time. In Texas the were expecting 1500 Hispanic folks to show up for a rally. They got 500,000 or more. When they get legal and can vote, the changes will happen so fast the right wing hateful people will wonder what happened. I'm looking froward to it. We are a nation of immigrants or at least Grandchildren of Immigrants. How can we consider people criminals just for being here and working hard?

AMNESTY!!) bill that would allow the MILLIONS of ILLEGALS to BUY their citizenship for $2,000!!! COME ON!! Two thousand dollars is NOTHING to these people,when they can come up with THAT MUCH just to be SMUGGLED INTO THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!

I'm never surprised to see idiots like J D answer this question with such hate and ignorance.\n\nI don't believe amnesty is the answer and I certainly don't believe that being here without proper paperwork is a crime where over-worked and under-paid law enforcement personal need to go after undocumented immigrants with full force (unless they are shipping in drugs or guns). Our courts and prisons would be overflowing worse than they are now. \n\nHate, fear, and discrimination should not led our hearts when dealing with these issues for in fact are we not Christians?!?! May God have mercy upon idiots like J D and people who think like he does.

Because neither the Democrats or Republicans want to offend the hispanics in this country,since 1986 when amnesty was given to illegals back then our goverment failed to secure the borders,each administration left the problem to the following administration,now we're stuck with millions of illegal immigrants that are not asking but demanding legal status,some are already planning to bring more illegals with them.and our Washington representives?pointing the finger at each other as usual,and contrary to what the person above said,it's the Republicans that are blocking illegals from becoming legal.

Fire them on the spot! Even if they are supporting illegal immigration, but are a legal U.S. citizen...they are still saying criminal activity against my country is ok. Why would I want someone with that mind-set working for my legitimate business? Hell no!

it's a pagan ritual.  \nBut, I'm sure you are looking for a funny answer.\n\nIt's cause that's were he's got all his drugs, money, and illegal aliens stashed.

Sassi, I totally agree with you.  Why provide illegals with anything?

Huh?\n\nIt sounds like a joke.  He was caught in California, Arizona AND New Mexico?\n\nI'm not even sure I believe it.
