Notice how the liberal nutjobs are nowhere to be found in this thread.

It's amazing to me that they are not only willing, but eager to end this country as it has existed since it's inception.

Only a massive world war or a revolution here in this country can save us now.
Short of this, only massive overpopulation is Earth's future until the breaking point is reached and people/cultures begins to die off from lack of food.  

  I see only these three possibilities await us.

No, the Depression era saw the US's first massive emigration.  I don't know if this is true but some people actually settled to the Workers Paradise (USSR), where plenty of jobs can be found.

SPEAKING of illegal 'immigrants' (I guess 'aliens' isn't politically correct anymore)...remember the triple murder/execution of the 3 college kids a week or so ago?
Quote
NEWARK, N.J. —  A Peruvian national in the U.S. illegally and who was previously charged with raping a 5-year-old girl[/b] pleaded not guilty Friday in the execution-style slayings of three young college students, a day after he surrendered to the Newark mayor.

Jose Carranza, 28, aka Jose La Chira, entered his plea before Essex County Superior Court Judge Michael Casale. A second suspect, a 15-year-old boy, has been held pending a detention hearing, and authorities said more arrests were "imminent."

Carranza, of Peru, was being held on $1 million bail. He turned himself in to Newark Mayor Cory Booker after his fingerprints were lifted from a bottle in connection with the shootings of four college students on Saturday. Three were killed but a fourth survived and was hospitalized after the shootings in a Newark schoolyard.

FOX News has learned Carranza, who has a fake Social Security number, had been arrested on charges of raping a 5-year-old girl and then threatening the child and her parents. In that case he faced a 31-count indictment..
Quote
Immigration officials apparently were aware of Carranza's illegal status since his prior arrests, according to Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura.

Note he wants to drop immigration to ~165000 a year, but wasn't too bothered about the 200000 or so US citizens he mentioned that emigrate each year.

What about those European and Asian countries that have to take in all those impoverished Yanks with their worthless dollars...

It's going to take rather Draconian measures to curb Illegal immigration, now. It's gotten too bad for a simple 'reform' bill. It's gonna take restrictions' on the way we do business, a military presence along the U.S. border with mexico, and changeing our diplomatic relations with the mexican government. (Changeing the mexican government might be a better solution, but that's a topic for another thread.)

The immigration problem is a symptom of several other root causes, that need to be solved before Illegal immigration can be cured.

Tell me what year you want to turn the clock back to?  

I'd like to turn the clock back myself.  

Even I would not say "this country as it has existed since its inception" and try to con someone into thinking that American society from the beginning translates into some sort of social consistency.  It might depending on how close or how far away you stand.  Have to get pretty far back to sell that one.

We could take a stab at 1776, dash ahead 90'ish years to 1865, take a run to 1920 (beaucoup immigration from 1865 to 1920 btw), then to 1957 (WHOOT I'm here finally), and then things start going to pot.

Crud.  It's my fault.

Well If i was president for a year This would not be an issue and I will tell you what the US needs.
#1 we need to train soldiers and they need to be trained in desert warfare.
Simple dam answer here TRAIN THEM ON THE BORDER OF MEXICO
#2 WE NEED TO TRAIN  SOLDIERS ON demolitons THAT IS GREAT LET THEM PRACTICE LAYING LAND MINDS ALL ALONG THE BORDER
#3 WE NEED TO TRAIN PILOTS SO SEND THEM TO THE BORDER AND LET THEM GET SOME TARGET PRACTICE .
#4 THE US  needs a no BS policy so no food stamps no medical care no schools for ANY ILLEGALS  HERE
#5 NO MORE OF THIS CRAP RUNNING ACROSS THE BORDER AND HAVEING A KID (if the parents are illegal then so is the kid)

If I break a law then everyone wants me to go to jail so the same thing should apply to everyone.

 OH MY BAD I forgot the rest of if I was president for a year.
IF I was president  for a just a year the would be NO ONE CROSSING THE BOARDERS AFTER THE FIRST 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OUR SOLIDERS WOULD BE THE BEST DAM SHOOTERS IN THE WORLD

it is not anti-immigration to be against people that come into this country illegally.

every time someone says they want to enforce the rules and protect the border they are called "anti-immigration ", it has nothing to do with legal immigration.

It is not a huge and difficult problem as some of the people here would have you believe.

Simply arrest and put in prison for a mandatory year... every single employer who can be proven to have hired illegals knowingly.  that includes the so called "contractors" who pick em up at home depot.   a contractor would lose his license...  business licenses would be lost for a business

Put a few dozen or more in prison and no one will hire illegals..  

The "problem" would go away overnite and no one would be hurt who didn't deserve it.   No mexicans would bother to cross for jobs because there would be no jobs... the 10% or so left that were crossing would be hard core smugglers and less work load on our border patrol.. easier to control.

Some other things that could change would be... no state or federal documents in anything but english.

No anchor babies..  if one of the parents isn't a citizen... neither is the spawn.

Work visas... only the worker can come over.. not non working family members.

nothing to it really... simple and doable but...

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with  seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous
flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,
above  the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs,
    the  table...everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean:

They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out
of  my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud:

They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day
and  night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.

I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all
over  the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...... quiet, serene and no one
demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see....... our government gives out free food, subsidized  housing,
free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be
an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are
housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency  room
doctor: your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over
half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual
box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and  people
waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the
streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

vwe.. that is the way it works but.. it is difficult to wean Americans off welfare and it is difficult to not share the welfare with anyone who shows up at the party once you have it.

How can you say that the only humane thing is to "save the children" when you allow the children on the same street to not get the goodies because of some paperwork?  

Nope.. so long as we have our own worthless sucking at the tit.. pretty hard to turn down someone elses babies.

The only way is to stop the flood.. the only way to do that is to stop the employment.

It will be easy to deport the rest who simply come for a handout or to deal in drugs or whatever.

Couple of problems there:

1. Anchor Babies: if every country enacted a law that said both parents had to be citizens before a child became a citizen, there would be an awful lot of nation-less babies. I agree with you in cases where both parents are non-citizens (even though I could potentially benefit from having an anchor baby myself :noid  )

2. Work visas and family: if you had said to me I could come to the US and work, but my wife couldn't come with me, I wouldn't be here. If I wasn't here, 20 or so US citizens would not have well paid jobs. Its enormously difficult to get a work visa for the US as it is and in most cases, whilst they will allow spouse and children to accompany you, they are not entitled to work and are not entitled to benefits.

(1.) They would not be "Nation-less". They would be nationals of their country of origin, I.E., Two mexican nationals have a child here, that child is/should be a Mex. national, period.

(2.) Tough. Find a job at home. Sounds' calous? Then apply for legal citizenship, If you want your whole family. Only the worker on the visa would be paying taxes for Social services' on the Visa plan. We have no obligation whatsoever to pay for health care or education for citizens' of another country.

Lazs suggested if one parent was not a citizen, the baby should be denied citizenship. That's what I said would cause a problem. I agreed that it makes no sense to grant a child citizenship if neither parent is a citizen (even though I personally could stand to gain by having such a child).

Firstly - I already said that accompanying spouses and children are not entitled to any benefits. Before a visa is issued, the visa holder has to provide  pretty convincing proof of his ability to support his / her family. Right now, I pay Uncle Sam very handsomely in taxes for nothing much in return other than the continued right to be here.

Secondly - no accompanying family = no foreign investment in this country. Do you think anyone would agree to move to America to set up a factory, open an office, expand a company etc etc if they couldn't bring their family? That's a lot of jobs that aren't coming to America.

Thirdly - I could apply for citizenship. But only after firstly applying for permanent residence (a process that takes between 12 and 36 months), waiting the requisite five years and then applying for citizenship (another 12 - 36 months). At that point, I could apply to bring my wife and children over, but after 10 or so years, they might have forgotten who I am.

You guys are always the same.. It's always Democrats fault or liberals. When are you ever going to share in any blame?

Common Steve Baily tell me why your precious Right wingers didn't jump to action when they had control to do pretty much anything they damn well choose to do? I thought Bush was the Decider? I guess he's undecided on this one eh?

As I've posted before you right wingers are all talk and never  any action. It took the Democrats to get the funding to start securing our boarders and even then your big bad Republicans were fighting them every step of the way.

Besides that this is about "legal" immigration not illegal.

So put your money where your mouth is Baily.. Show me something your Republicans right wingers have "actually done" not blabbed about in regards to illegal or even legal immigration..

Even if Bush did deserve to be removed from office, impeachment would not accomplish that. It would also require the Senate going through their proceedings and there probably isn't enough time left in Bush's term to accomplish both. Waste of time and money at this point.

68... you are correct..  I did write it as if "one".

I meant "none"  I am sorry for the confusion.  I have said as much in the past tho...  if neither of the parents is a citizen then the baby is not.

If one of them is... they have the choice.   but... if one of the parents was a citizen then they probly both would be as marriage makes you one.

as for work visas....

I am speaking of the only work that the illegals can do and the work that is often touted as "work Americans will not do"

That is seasonal farm labor.

It was done as I said decades ago.. only the workers came for the season... often that was man and wife.... they left after the season was over.   they lived on the farmers land in housing that was not fit for families in any case and they were all well past school age.

sorry about the mistype with the parent thing.

68Wooley, I'm sorry, I should have made a statement at the beginning of my post: That this is my opinion of how our immigration should work.

IMHO, these are loopholes that should never have been allowed to be open. Immigration should be channeled through the INS, period.
