Obama and Illegal Immigration (270)
moonmana1: Sad, isn't it. agree with you on this.
I messed up on this statement. My computer was not letting me look at the article. was (assuming) it was about congressman voting on bills without reading them.. This will learn me never to assume.:)
Question for you. If an illegal immigrant is pregnant, and enters our country illegally just to have a baby. Do you think that is the intention of what the 14th. amendment reads?

outdoorgirlsun: Oh, and we aren't putting our money into re building Iraq?
Lots of money, honey, and we are paying for it. I'm sick of hearing about occupying. I like to call it liberating, thank you

Who said your not putting the money to rebuild it . Why you had to destroy one to build that again ? .Can you rebuild the destroyed life ? famalies ? lost honors of the women ? bring back the dead ? can u give back fathers, brothers, husbands , sons and daughters killed by your army ?.If so I withdraw my post .you like to call this madness as liberating ? liberation from what ? . you put a nation from fire to hell fire.

texasgirl8585: Bittersweet, maybe you need to take an illegal family into your home and fully support them for a while. If they bring drugs or get violent towards you or your kids or destroy your property, that will be ok, won't it? You should still let them stay and become citizens at the front of the line, right? Just let it slide? And if they work and send their money back to their home country?
Why Just take them home , arm them to teeth with sophisticated weapons , provdie them with apache helecoptors and drones and carpet bombs , provide them immunity from local laws , let them bomb your neibhorhood, rapes the women around, kill the childern , shoot anyone on sight, and set camps , train and run gurrila camps. March them to Washigton and hang the president and call that a liberation. would it be more appropriate ?

bittersweet28467: All except for two problems well make that 3
1. The people who have lived here since they were children and have no place to "go back to" in Mexico or whatever country they are from (as many latin immigrants are actually from central america and assumed to be mexican because they are brown)
2. The people who were born here but their parents are not citizens.
3. The people who do work, their income taxes collected and then never returned because they are using some other SSN to work under. All that tax money just sits there, FICA, unemployment and will never ever be collected by the worker. Plus those people contribute to the economy as described earlier.
What would you do if you were mexican, central american, etc. and you saw a better life for your family and children just down the road?
People liked them when they were coming here to do jobs no one wanted, then when they started taking the good jobs and doing good work for less money people started getting upset.
It's a complicated situation. I wish that we could just have one world and have the same standards for every country but unfortunately it's not that way.

Jenea: Your problem is that you are a partisan and it wouldn't matter what Obama did, you would be against him! Those Sheriffs have been having problems for a long time and so to saddle everything on this President is pure inanity! You gave Bush a pardon and said that he had other things to do, but when it's Obama, OH HELL NO! He's not protecting our borders and blah, blah, blah! Even though the Obama administration has deported more illegals in his short time, that's not good enough for you! Lastly, do not even bring up deficit to me! The current deficit is 1.5 trillion (I'm rounding up) of that 1.5 trillion, Bush left 1.3 trillion of it!
I am not so partisan as to not appreciate the good things any president is doing. Just do not agree with his policies and how he is using a credit card to fix the problems and the country.
Is the supposed 600 million to fix the borders going to be put to good use, or will it be used to make a paper fence to fix the problem.
And I am not so partisan as to say Bush was not part of this problem too.
You can play with numbers and policies of any President to make them look bad. But this is 2010, and Obama is borrowing money to keep the economy going. Instead of creating jobs or keeping big business here thru policies and lower taxes.
And what illegal aliens add to the economy is overshadowed by the costs to accomodate the costs of health care, justice system, and education.
Have them come here, but legally and proportionately to what the system can handle. That is what is called legal immigration.
