Which is why there was such an outcry to put a stop to amnesty. <br /><br />as for indiscriminately deporting illegals.. If it's done correctly, there will be no discrimination about it. <br /><br />Enforce current laws on the books about employers hiring illegals. That will stop the draw here.<br /><br />Build the fence. If border enforcement is good enough on Mexico's southern border, it should be good enough for the northern as well. <br /><br />Then start to deport the nasty illegals. Do you want to keep members of MS-13 here or there? The drunken drivers who had no license and ran over someone. The <i>illegal</i> immigrants who show blatant disregard for the laws of our country. Even more so than the normal <i>illegal</i> immigrant. <br /><br />The loss they might get will be a wash compared to the votes they will receive from <i>legal</i> citizens who vote for showing a backbone.Dave Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779153708960447630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-27209725583379523842009-08-20T08:04:27.857-04:002009-08-20T08:04:27.857-04:00Some seldom heard reasons that wetbacks are harmfu...Some seldom heard reasons that wetbacks are harmful:<br /><br />1) They hurt Mexico by removing the most capable, informed and ambitious leaving behind the dreges.<br /><br />2) They distort US politics by adding undeserved House seats and electoral votes to border states<br /><br />3) They inhibit innovation by distorting labor costs downward<br /><br />Dean Z.

And a corporation can fire its employees and hire new while crowing about the economic benefits. The message to Americans from both wings of the political machine that rules us has been drearily the same. "You're fired!" The right has fired us because we are too fond of a middle class lifestyle and the left has fired us because they hate us. Both already have in mind a people/workforce to replace us with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-46125300123498816102009-08-19T20:08:32.054-04:002009-08-19T20:08:32.054-04:00I am all for sealing the border.

But the border has been porous for decades, with millions of latino working families living in, and contributing to, our communities -- most with US citizen children. Saying eased immigration policy "helped sink Republicans in 2006 by estranging working-class voters from the GOP" is a red herring. The ad hoc ICE enforcement that grabs up working fathers and deports them is being blamed on the GOP and the 2008 latino voting trends prove it out. See http://www.cfr.org/publication/14244/<br />.<br />Latinos that are here legally will not forget how the GOP treated their loved ones. ICE enforcement is particularly egregious because the most stable and productive latino homes are the ones most likely to be outed, while the illegals engaged in crime remain drifters that don't get caught. <br />.<br />Latinos are the fastest growing voter segment - and they moved the GOP's way under Dubya. It is beyond me why the GOP thinks it makes sense to indiscriminately deport illegals instead of getting them identified under a guest-worker program so that: i)they can continue to support their US citizen children, ii) we can improve homeland security, and iii) the GOP can make more gains in latino voting.Mark30339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-59168890791647028882009-08-19T19:23:02.390-04:002009-08-19T19:23:02.390-04:00Inter alia, the Kennedy bill limits immigration fr...<i>Inter alia</i>, the Kennedy bill limits immigration from Mexico to 12,000/month, a patently ludicrous lowball.<br /><br />PJBuchanan suggested that the US should favor immigration from Western countries (which would include Mexico) because IT IS THE CULTURE, STUPID!--or something like that. <br /><br />The best argument for increasing immigration (from culturally compatible countries) is the Social Security/Medicare deficit.
