Are we just belly achen or are we truly moved by the issue of Illegal Immigration. Will "We the People" just sit back again and be dictated to about what we have to endure? I am tired of my tax dollars going to provide for over crowded classrooms, over burdened emergency rooms, over burdened courts, the welfare system and high unemployment rates. Think about a day when state and federal funding for education, health care, social security, the judicial system and public saftey is not an issue. Take away the cost of providing for an estimated "10 million illegal immigrants in the United States today"(Center for Immigration Studies) and you will see a day when you won't have to explain to your children why they can't go to college or why you can't afford to take them to the doctor or why Daddy doesn't have a job.  Have you ever said "What about me? Doesn't anybody care? Doesn't my opinion count?"  I say it is time to let our collective voice be heard. I propose a public demonstration. If the Illegal Aliens can protest for thier right to break our laws, then "We the People" should have the same right to insist that our elected government officials enforce those same laws. Anyday will work . "We the people" just need to make our views heard. I see that the presidential debates in California are being held on Jan. 30/31, 2008. Anybody busy on monday Jan. 28. I say a weekday because of the primetime news coverage. A demonstration so close to the debates would give them something to answer to besides the war on terror, which I also feel strongly about but this is not the time or place. Remember one mind, one voice. It is time that they listen the the majority.

Hey Bro,
LOL'S, its starting ta catch on. remember what i sahred about the million man march some years back. Great turn out and alot of retoric by big names inflating ego's.
Without a goal/referendum or laws that we would not only like ta see made, but also enforced, we will end up like that million man march, a blurp on the scene and a wasted oppurtunity. Hotmama says ya didnt allow fer comments, what the hell isthe nmatter wioth ya???? LOL'S. I will call ya tnight and see how things are rolling fer Ryan. I reckon I better start gitting the trailer ready one way or the other huh. Alright bro, you have a good sleep.

I totally agree..but I'm getting tired of hearing the lame reasons as to why they shouldn't be here.."they're taking our jobs" ..
you're telling me that they're stepping all over your college degrees and holding a gun on your head telling you "give me your job" no...you LET them, you ALLOW them that. You not only work to support the illegal immigrants, you work to support to support single mothers, people on welfare, unemployed people.

I don't support illegal immigration but I do believe they should be given amnesty. sure they do fill up our emergency rooms and whatever else you want to complain about...but Undocumented immigrants annually pay an estimated $7 billion more than they take out into Social Security, and $1.5 billion more into Medicare.... A study by the National Academy of Sciences also found that tax payments generated by immigrants outweighed any costs associated with services used by immigrants. Don't only look at what they don't do...pay close attention to what they do!

we owe them MORE than what they owe us.What about those undocumented immigrants that suffered preventable injuries on the job? those that never got paid for their labor? those who got paid less? or do we now have slaves in America? for a second, i thought it was ILLEGAL. If someone breaks into my home for the purpose of destroying and looting, I would be mad as hell. But if they break in for the purpose of cleaning it--scrubbing the bathroom, mowing the lawn--then, in my way of thinking anyway, the debt goes in the other direction. Some deserve to be here. As a matter of fact...many do..

So, finally...what is it that we really want? Benjamin Franklin sought to exclude from this country any immigrant who did not speak English.Alexander Hamilton sought to encourage immigrants to come and work the new nation’s factories.....so, what's it gonna be fellas?

To SM88, You have some valid points there. Bottom line is they are here illegally, I wonder what the budget is fer catching them, processing them and transporting them back?

The illegals have dropped the average wages in many trades because they are willing to live 15 people in a house and work fer peanuts. I also see my fellow countryman who no longer deam it worth there while ta do the same work, like its beneath us. I hardly see any anglo kids going into my trade. I have seen the shoddiest work in the last 19 years in my trade in the last 4 to five years, I was paid top wage to go behind and fix all there crap carpentry. And they were gitting paid not much less than I??????
What is the solution? Penalize the employers? Build a giant fence across 1600 plus miles of border? Just a misc point to add that has not gotten much air time. The terriorst that bombed the trade center and pentagon all entered the country from Canada????? While last year alone, in 5 seperate incidents. Illegals turned themselves in and told the Border patrol that there were groups of people crossing the border who did not speak Spanish, turns out they were Arabs!
I wonder how come that never made front page News?????
So aside from this, The bottom line is they are here Illegally, A worthwhile solution needs to be realized, this nonsense needs ta stop. Or my own favorite idea, just invade Mexico and make them the 51st state!

I think I will stop adding my comments , I get deleted every time I don't agree with a blog . I thought blogging was about being able to interact and read different points of views . Will you delete this ?

I posted this is another blog, but I'll say it again.Everyone agrees that they are “illegal,”
thus consider them “criminals.” Those who come across our borders don't do so to rob our banks, kill our children, steal our social security numbers or come to do insider trading, give false reports about weapons of mass destruction or even to speed on our highways. They come here to earn a living and to give their children a better education—the same reason our own grandparents came here—in pursuit of greater human dignity.
Talk to me, talk to me =]

I am Joe Everyman, I work for a living and am tired of paying for people who don't want to work or illegal immigrants. I don't have a problem with legal immigration, as they contribute to the common good. I think the borders should be closed and we should ship all the molesters out. Speak up America or you will be dictated to.
