Thread: Mexican Border

WOW, I had no idea about this. Remember the Alamo!!!

MEXICO CITY Jan 24, 2006 — A Mexican government commission said Tuesday it will distribute at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert to curb the death toll among illegal border crossers.

Maybe we should just make Mexico out 53rd state............be easier to defend our border. And puts us closer to Venezuela.............

How many of them live below the poverty line and would join our welfare rolls?

Baby boomers need somewhere to retire right? That'll put em all to work........

Illegal immigrant comment ....

Consider this, if illegal immigrant were to be let into this country legally, then when they get here they will find it easy to quit work and be an expense on the American taxpayer. Therefore the claim that American business has that the illegal immigrants (II's) will do work that American won't wash. Americans won't work that job because they can get gov't monies for doing nothing...

The II are there to get business more profits by selling those living essentials and provide illegal labor at low costs. Also, if they are legalized, they will buy certain liberal politicians votes.

Last but not least, if Ted and Hillary want to stump for illegals instead of the US citizens that voted them in, maybe they should go to Mexico or somewhere and run for office....

That's just my opinion

My two cents. When there is a protest how many are II and how many are U.S. Citizens? Since when do II have a say in U.S. policy? Cut off welfare, abolish the tax code, and pass a national sales tax. That way everyone pays taxes on what they buy even the one's that work under the table or deal in illegal activities. Then watch the II's run to Mexico or better yet France. The people that are no longer on Welfare will work those jobs.

I'm a freak! Show-me for Prez!

Show-me, the only thing the illegals buy is beer........but I'm still writing you in, don't let me down!!!!

In my work, I see the II all the time. It's a cash paycheck, no workers compensation, no health insurance, and none of the benifits we have. If there is a safety issue, they work unsafe. To some extent they are being exploited by the greedy.........MHO........ .......Spaf

Unfortunately our businesses and politicians are ready...eager in fact...to welcome and cater to our new de facto underclass. Cheap no-strings labor, voters, consumers, "growth" and overcrowding is good for their interests. To hell with the quality of our communities. This battle was lost years ago through apathy.

I don't think these miscreants were working under orders from legitimate Mexican government officials, so "invasion" isn't the right word.
