YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!
Did I yell it loud enough!

Good Morning, Just another Joe.

Oh how I love how most of these people believe Terrorist, SS, and health care should have 1st priority, what they fail to realize is Illegal Immigration is the reason these problems exist in our society.


king Ebanks of USA
Not really, but if 3 million mostly poor illegal Aliens looking for work and a better life can cross the borders each year what saying 20 well-funded Al Qaeda members cant do the same???



we need secure our borders and we need to know who is in this Country!!!

Yes because ending illegal immigration and deporting the criminals will glean many benefits.

1. More jobs for citizens.
2. Higher wages for citizens
3. More housing meaning an end to homelessness
4. Lower cost of goods due to lower supply and demand
5. Lower crime rates
6. Lower costs to government at all levels

The list goes on and on but you get the picture.

Yes, how secure are we when we don't know who the hell is in this country and who is sneaking in on a daily basis. Without borders, the US as a sovereign nation is doomed.


Streakin' Deacon
YES!

Heck Yeah Mother Truckers!

We are losing this country right from under our noses! Left wing liberals are all like "That's mean!", but what will this once proud country be in 20 years with immigration flowing like this?

I went to Mexico last Sunday, to Puerto Nuevo, a supposedly nicer part of mexico, and you know what? All I'll say is you don't want America to look like/ be like that.


the bad seed
YES there is no larger threat to this nation
sorry there are so many lefties on today...the welfare checks come tomorrow and they will be gone


One Big Daddy
Without a doubt, absolutely YES!!!!


tony a
Yes any country can invade right now from mexico, no tanks needed they can walk or ride the bus.


wranglergal_2
Yes,considering they want to take over this country ,they are terrorist as far as im concerned. Our kids should be brought home from a senseless war over oil.Any soldier will tell you that.


kre8iv4u2002
It is the #1 problem in america besides The iraq quagmire.


SAGE
hmm kinda..i think border control should be #1 so i guess that ties into immigration. Were leaving our borders wide open for terrorists and immigrants to get through, and yet we try and fight a war to prevent terrorism..?

No. # 1 priority should be completely closing the Mexican border.

OUR GOVERNMENTS MAIN FUNCTION IS TO PROTECT THE BORDERS OF THIS COUNTRY. PERIOD.!


Pro-America, Anti-Illegal
Yes because fixing that problem would effect a lot of other things. The economy, unemployment, education, healthcare, etc. Considering that a terrorist could enter our country illegally any time he wants, it effects that too.

As long as it's coupled with getting the issues in Iraq settled.


dog lover
Yes. I really don't understand why this war is going on. I think that Bush should focus on illegal immigration. I totally agree with you.


mommy
Yes, They should not receive gifts from our gov. that we as citizens can't even get. Like free health care and education like free college. Many I lived around also receive free day care and welfare because they had children here.


my alias
Yes, but other priority parallel.


Ancientone
While immigration is a problem today, our most serious concern is with the credibility of our government. Both Democrats and Republicans are feeding us misinformation or spinning truths so that they can take actions that benefit themselves and their special interests. Until we can restore credibility to the White House, The Senate and the House of Representatives, there isn't much we should be doing about anything.
Let us pray that in the coming years our newly elected officials will act wisely and in the interest of the American people; all the American people.

It should be the ABSOLUTE TOP priority IN this country. The war in Iraq should be in the top 3 priorities outside the country (Iran and North Korean nuclear endeavors are up there as well).

As for the person who stated "we're all immigrants..." Really? I was born here. And many generations ago my ancestors came over on the Mayflower (yes, I can trace a direct route to the Mayflower). Other people are decendants of people who came through Ellis Island. Was it right to just march in here in 1492? Maybe not, but that was a much different world. If we're talking about the Native American's wanting their land back, that's different.

I almost cry why I see these illegals marching with signs "we're not criminals." Really? Do you pay taxes on your income? Do you pay into Social Security? Do you report your employer for not paying their share of your social security? Did you follow the rules of our country when you TRESSPASSED ONTO SOVERIGN LAND? No? None of them? THESE ARE CRIMES. What do you call someone who commits crimes? A Criminal.

When those illegals drive, do you think they have a driver's license or insurance? And when they hit your car, who do you think will pay for it? Say a farmer uses illegal immigrants. They don't pay taxes. So now, we're subsidizing the farm, AND subsidizing the hired help.

The gap is ever widening between the rich and the poor, with the middle class getting smaller and smaller. Pay for jobs is being erroded. Wages have not kept pace with the economy. Why? Because people are in our country - ILLEGALLY - who will take that crappy job and do it for $5 an hour. So for a citizen to compete, they will need to do it for the same pay. This cycle permeats itself into the construction, contracting, personal service, household service and tons of other areas. Where once you would pay a local kid $10 to cut your lawn, you can get the same thing done by an undocumented worker for the same price, and he's working for a larger company.

In 2004, Mexico had 3 HUGE incomes.
16 Billion dollars from Oil exports
9 Billion dollars from tourism
.... and the middle one was...
15 BILLION DOLLARS illegally sent 'home' to Mexico from the US by illegal immigrants.

I've been pushing for my own elected representatives, as well as trying to push others to get their own reps involved, to author a Constitutional change. Instead of the requirement being born on US soil = US citizen, I'm pushing for born to a legally residing mother who has been in the US for at least 9 months.

More later - just getting more angered


danthecanman
with the fear of terrorist coming into this nation and staginganother attack, it should definetly rank in the top 3 as far as government priroties! however, the #1 priority should be finally getting out troops home from iraq!


jh
It should be the number one priority for legislation in Congress. The administration should continue to focus on defense and security.

Definitely #1!!!!!!
While the war on terror is important, we are fighting our OWN war, right here at home, against an ILLEGAL alien INVASION!!!!!!

What good is it to defend another country,when we won't even defend our OWN country???? While we fight for their freedom, OUR freedoms are being slowly removed!!!!

What good is it if we win the war, but lose our COUNTRY??!!!!
What will our military men and women come back TO??? Will it be the SAME country as when they left??? Not if things keep going the way they have!!!!


iamct01
No, just jail the economic terrorist knowingly hieing them and the reason for coming here will diminish. Will they come here if they know Americans will not hire them? Most won`t

ABSOLUTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been a problem for decades and American people have been complaining about it for decades, why can't the government do what they promise and deal with it?? Answer: they want the illegal's votes. What we NEED to do is everyone(everyone against illegal immigration)needs to send a letter to their senator and every other person in authority every week about how discusted we are with how they are dealing with it(the immigration problem), that's what I'm going to do once I turn 18.
