To be blunt, with a lousy economy (except DC and NYC, where the "elites" live), there is little justification for letting high numbers of immigrants into our country. Legal vs illegal is of little importance since our government really hasn't enforced immigration laws (and the border) for decades.

Unless we deport illegal aliens and reduce the number of relatives legal immigrants can bring here, we will lose the United States. Period.

The political/media elites are literally taking the nation away from the American people and by American people I mean, native born Americans, who trace their family ancestry in this country, back many generations.

The political elites are replacing the American people with forgeign born, who are more likely to vote liberal/democrat/statist.

Along with my brother as good liberals, we support the president's amnesty plan.

Mohamed Atta, et. al., were in the country without any previous criminal records, although on September 11, 2001 all were here in contravention to immigration law.

Michael Tomlinson| 8.29.11 @ 8:38AM

Unemployment in Mexico (without Barack Obama) is roughly half of what it is in the US (with Obama). Why don't we offer free bus rides to illegals to go to Mexico for jobs? All they will have to worry about is the narco-terrorists Obama and Holder armed.

wolflen| 8.29.11 @ 10:39AM

its not that mexico has no jobs..its the pay difference that motivates illegals to jump the fence...with the attitude of "what are you going to do about it...send me back"...when you think about it..its not much of a threat..expand the thinking to ... drive without a license..use social welfare to cover your living and medical expense..and groups like "the race" to support you...and a govt that looks the other way at your status..and encourages you to stay...sound like a good deal to me...

Louis Jenkins| 8.29.11 @ 8:39AM

I would love to see Obama impeached, unfortunately, it ain't going to happen. The man will get the votes regardless of where, or from whom to get re-elected. This is another nail in the coffin of the late, great USA. Our only hope is a winner. Should of known that Obama would get his job accomplished one way or the other, this time through executive order.

RedState, interesting. And a point well taken if you are saying -- and it seems you are -- that the garbage strewn about is from illegals coming northward. And from cartel lackeys.

Put TV media where it also belongs: In the ash heap.

YouTube. Practice, write up a narrative, film it, provide informed, well-spoken commentary, edit, and post.

Low budget; potentially highly effective.

This can speak loudly and be so much more effective than the plastic, retread, same-themes, same talking heads, same dumb blondes (on Fox too) 6, 7, and 8 p.m. nightly news.

You will be surprised at the comments that follow your YouTube video.

“Unless the economy turns around in the next 18 months, Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era. That would be an accurate statement.” Glenn Kessler, fact checker for the Washington Post.

Fewer Americans are working full-time today than when Mr. Obama took office, Zuckerman more than 900,000 full-time jobs were lost in the last four months alone, and long-term unemployment is at a post-World War II high.

Al Adab| 8.29.11 @ 11:35AM

Don't make the mistake of thinking this election will turn on facts or issues. Harry Reid managed to steal an election in Nevada and these people are working hard to do the same. The only moral imperative is winning. To do so they will attack every possible opponant and falsify any necessary reports to accompliish that goal. How much federal money does La Raza get from taxpayers? By pandering to every identifiable voting bloc and spreading money around wherever the need, they can accomplish their goal. "One you give up integrity, all the rest is easy" as J. R. Ewing once said.

CESC| 8.29.11 @ 6:44PM

I live in Las Vegas. My wife called me from a local mall during "early voting" and she called me to inform me that busloads of mexican casino laborers still in their uniforms were arriving en masse and lead by their union reps to vote. They were handed cards with instructions on whom to vote for. In NV a poll worker is forbidden by law to request ID or legal status. Everyone is issued a "provisional" ballot that is, in theory, only checked after the election if challenged legally. Total BS, and an open invitation to stack the decks in the demomarxists favor.
Revolution, anyone?

"In June, the head of Obama's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency sent out a  memo highlighting all the factors that should be taken into consideration when exercising prosecutorial discretion in immigration cases. "

It's true, Mexico's unemployment rate is about 4.9%. California = 12%. Nevada = 13%. Michigan = 11%.

Pelligrino| 8.29.11 @ 12:18PM

I attended a 4th of July new citizen ceremony on a sun-filled, blue skies day.

In total 72 new Americans made it official in front of families, judges, local officials, and well-wishers.

Helping with some clean up afterwards, I could not help but notice how many of the "new Americans" left their small gift US flags just strewn on the grass, earth beneath or around their seats.

Some of the flags had been laying there awhile; they were wet with the morning dew.

I hope readers here understand; this is not insignificant. That flag is our symbol, one these new Americans and their families should cherish. Not a item to be left like rubbish.

And it is not supposed to touch ground. No adult needs to be taught this.

That flag is the symbol of freedom, greatness and, most importantly, goodness all around the world.

Candid truth: I think this complete disregard speaks volumes for the lack of qualities and values in some of the new Amercians.

We LEGALLY admit over 1 million new people via immigration into the USA every year; most begin the process toward citizenship.

Who are these people really? Why do they really come? What values do these arrivals hold dear? And is this in our best interests?

How many new immigrants has your state had to absorb this year -- just this year? Do they really come with language skills, acumen, and skills we need? And are they really of the mindset to aid and promote the greatest nation ever?

YeloStalyn| 8.29.11 @ 2:40PM

Before you speak of the speck in your brother's eye, check the plank in your own.

That's not directed at YOU specifically... but at US as Americans (all of us). Overall... how can we, as a nation, expect our newcomers to behave any better than we have for the last 50 years? We can only expect them to be as American as the example we set. Sadly... their example is a nation that is so stupid that we voted Zero.

davelnaf| 8.29.11 @ 12:39PM

Obama could have had his press secretary announce that the government was no longer sending illegals back; instead, he went to a La Raza hate fest to make it. This racist organization is very likely a front group for the Mexican government that it uses to pressure the usual suspects in the US government into granting residency privileges to illegal aliens as long as they are from Mexico. This was also another instance of Obama dissing the hell out of mainstream America and trash-talk the US in general; La Raza has about as much power as the CPUSA. This execrable president cannot leave office soon enough.

RCV| 8.29.11 @ 2:02PM

Seems to me to be pretty rational to focus your deportation efforts on felons and other serious criminal offenders. That should be the first priority of anyone heading the executive branch on immigration issues. Bravo Mr. President!

irish19| 8.29.11 @ 2:11PM

While that may be a high priority, the fact remains that illegal immigrants are just that-illegal. When they are caught, they should be sent back to their country of origin-period.

Occam's Tool| 8.29.11 @ 2:41PM

In addition, I do not believe in expending public monies on health or education for them. This is serious business---when 50% of births in LA County (or 2% of ALL US Births) are to undocumented aliens, and these numbers are repeated in El Paso,Dallas, all across the border...

When our overcrowded prisons in the Southwest have very large illegal Hispanic populations...

When American Citizens come out of college and professional schools with crushing debts....

This is no time to do Mexico or its citizens any favors at all. Put up the Wall, and deport, deport, deport. No mercy.

By the way, I do favor educated, legal immigrants with gumption and pluck. No nation can have too many of those. Wherever they come from. But screw the illegals. They have caused much more harm than help to us.

YeloStalyn| 8.29.11 @ 2:42PM

It should be first come first serve. If you're picked up, "violent" or not... you get to stay in a holding cell until processed. If you don't like the wait... stop telling your cousins, and their cousins, and their cousins, and their cousins.... to keep comming over.

Al Adab| 8.29.11 @ 5:48PM

The United States needs to construct a prison in Mexico to which their citizens, convicted of felonies in the US, can be sent to serve their time. Mexico can staff it all we need do is build it (Mexico never will) and fill it.

BREAKING NEWS:

'.......Obama's Uncle -- An Illegal — Arrested for Drunk Driving Monday, August 29, 2011 02:41 PMBy: Martin Gould...The drunk driving arrest of President Barack Obama’s uncle has thrown the White House’s new immigration policies straight into the spotlight. Now GOP politicians and immigration policy groups are vowing to keep a close eye on the case of Onyango Obama, who is being held in custody as there is a warrant already out ordering his deportation to Kenya.
“We will be watching this case very carefully,” Ira Mehlman, spokesman for FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Newsmax. “He was already under a deportation order so it raises the question of why he was he still here?”And freshman Republican Rep. Joe Walsh said, “This is the height of irony. Just a couple of weeks after the president sends out an executive order his uncle, who shouldn’t be here in the first place, gets arrested. “The timing is just exquisite, the Illinois congressman told Newsmax.“They said 300,000 cases would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Is this guy on that list and who is going to be looking at his case? I trust it is not the president. There could be a massive conflict of interest here.” Onyango Obama was arrested on August 24 outside the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Mass. after nearly hitting a police patrol car as he went through a stop sign. Tests showed his blood alcohol level was nearly double the legal limit. He was held in detention when police learned about the deportation order.When told he could make one phone call, he said “I think I should call the White House.”The case has received little media attention in the United States although it was widely covered in both Britain and Australia.....'

Louis Jenkins| 8.29.11 @ 4:41PM

Another headliner: Alabama's law on immigrants is put on hold by a Federal Judge. Not because of the law itself, rather the judge is looking at who would sue, or who would have an interest in the law.

Not about the American people. It's about all those who have a interest in litigation.

RCV| 8.29.11 @ 6:07PM

No, it's about the Constitution and whether this law passes muster under it.

Oldefarte| 8.29.11 @ 7:13PM

Wrong! Alabama's [just like Arizona's] immigration was the will of its peoples and both complied with their respective state constitutions and the US Constitution. In both cases the US Justice Dept under the corrupt leadership of the Democrat operative of this corrupt administration has played politics in infringing upon the peoples'rights of those states to legislate their own laws. They did so due to the obvious fact that the federal government has illegally broken the law it is charged with upholding in not enforcing the immigration law of this country, all due to politics. In turning their blind eye toward same and avoiding enforcement, it/federal government is breaking US law and its administrators should be charged with obstruction and impeachment. They desire the political votes of the Hispanic community at election time by ignoring their obligations under the law to enforce immigration, and by doin thus they are breaking the law themselves and should be criminally charged with same!!!!!!!

RCV| 8.29.11 @ 7:23PM

Sorry, Oldfarte. I know how you and many others feel about illegal immigration. But there are serious issues under the Supremacy Clause of what powers are exclusively federal, and what leeway states have in enacting laws which touch upon national immigration policy. Those issues are likely to be sorted out in due time by the SCOTUS in the Arizona case. Until then, District Court Judges who obey their oath to the Constitution will have to scrutinize these attempts by the state to legislate in this area.

Al Adab| 8.29.11 @ 7:53PM

One of the enumerated powers, that is the reasons for being of the federal government, is to protect the States from invasion. Our situation is just that yet the federal government is being destructive of the ends for which it was created not only by refusing to perform its duty but by suing the States attempting to protect themselves in the absense of federal action.

The situation is analygous to Pancho Villa who invaded Columbus NM. Woodrow Wilson no less sent the US Army under Pershing to Mexico in order to track him down. Since the government now refuses to do its duty and opposes the States protecting themselves one might be justified in asking whether the "alter or abolish" clause is in play.

RCV| 8.29.11 @ 11:04PM

There is no "alter or abolish clause" in the Constitution. If the present administration is not to our liking, we have the Constitutional power to elect a new one; if the present Constitution isn't to our liking, we have the wisely provided for power to amend it.

We also can't call on the federal government to expand its border patrol activities, round up hundreds of thousands more illegals, multiply costly deportation proceedings ten-fold, and the demand that the federal bureaucracy be slashed and taxes not raised.

Al Adab| 8.30.11 @ 12:11PM

RCV,
Don't be disingenuous. You know perfectly well where the "alter or abolish" quote is from. It underlies the philosophy of government on which this country and its constitution are founded.

Yes indeed we can elect, unelect, and amend. We can also "alter (amend, elect) or abolish" as the right to do so is a basic right of humanity and cannot be abrogated by the government.

We can as well demand you closing list as in fact we are doing. When the government refuses its duty to protect the States from invasion and opposes States attempting to protect themselves then serious issues of Constitutional proportion arise.

RCV| 8.30.11 @ 6:16PM

'.....ERO is responsible for enforcing the nation's immigration laws and ensuring the departure of all removable aliens from the United States. ERO uses its Immigration Enforcement Agents (IEA) to interdict, apprehend, and remove criminal aliens found in the nation's jails and prisons. As such, IEAs are the uniformed presence of immigration enforcement within the interior of the United States. IEAs also are responsible for the transportation and detention of aliens in ICE custody. ERO uses its Deportation Officers to prosecute aliens for illegal re-entry after deportation, monitor cases during deportation proceedings, supervise released aliens who are subject to deportation, and to remove aliens from the United States.[9] Deportation Officers and IEAs also operate strategically placed Fugitive Operations Teams whose function is to locate, apprehend, and remove aliens who absconded from immigration proceedings and remain in the United States with an outstanding Warrant of Deportation. ERO custody management consists of a partnership with the United States Marshals Service in operating JPATS, the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System, otherwise known as Con-Air, to remove criminal aliens from the United States.[10]....'

But if they, as an independant and autonomous unit within the union of many, choose to defend their singular presence and populous... could that not keep them out of running afoul of Supremacy?

RCV| 8.30.11 @ 10:06PM

OF, your post is so full of inaccuracies -- so full of it, generally -- I don't know here to begin. The administration has actually fared pretty well to date in Court challenges, and most of the rulings have been in its favor, on DOMA, on immigration and on Health Care Reform. On the latter, the Circuit courts have split 1-1 on the individual mandate issue, and the SCOTUS will of course make the final decision. I've given my analysis of the prospects there several times before, and won't repeat in detail, but to summarize: (1) Kennedy may well be the swing vote, though Scalia may surprise conservatives. He has made clear that he has a healthy respect for precedent, unlike Justice Thomas, and his opinion in the federal marijuana cases specifically affirmed his recognition of the Court's precedents on the broad reach of the Commerce Clause, even to activities themselves which ate not commerce, so long as they "affect" interstate commerce. (2) there is no legal basis for any of Obama's female appointees ("pigs" in your always elegant phraseology) to disqualify themselves. There is not a shred of evidence to support your lie that Kagan had any role "in writing the adjudicated legislation", and Sotomayor wasn't even in the administration - she was a prosecutor and then a federal judge as most people know.

The Constitution is quite clear that national immigration law is a power of the federal government only. Read the Constitution some time - you might actually learn something.

Pat| 8.29.11 @ 6:17PM

La Raza did convince Napolitano to restore the Friday immigration raids though. Might seem like a logical contradiction to us documented workers but it was a very popular government program among our illegals back in the 60’s and 70’s, here in California.

The way it worked was that Jose, on Thursday, would phone in an anonymous tip to the INS that a bunch of illegal, tax shirking wetbacks was working Farmer Johnson’s fields located within the Imperial Valley. INS would go on high alert based on this anonymous tip and send a heavy contingent of armed agents and a large school bus to Farmer Johnson’s fields the next day. With a bullhorn, the Agent In Charge would demand that all illegals drop their hoes and report to the bus. The agents would take their names and herd them on to the bus for a free trip back to Mexico.

Jose would then visit the wife for a quick tickle, play with the kids and sneak back over the border to Johnson’s farm on Sunday night. Next Thursday, Jose once again borrowed the communal dime and dropped it on his fellow illegals. The INS was constantly amazed and gratified at the patriotism of these law abiding anonymous tipsters and never did catch on.

La Raza’s only qualification was that the meals provided during these bus rides be improved; baloney sandwiches are low in nutrition and high in calories they claim. Napolitano is checking with DOJ attorneys on the legality of this reasonable suggestion and has considerable sympathy with the "No Baloney" policy.

A few years ago around the time that Hispanic rallies on Labor Day were beginning O'Reilley had on his show a couple of guys who were "Professors of Hispanic Studies" from Texas. One of the professors expounded that "we a have a right to come into the USA to smash your corporations who have been exploiting us" via NAFTA. The other guy, who has been on Fox a few times since and always calls O'Reilley "my friend" contended that "America" is not really a nation, but a mystic ideal dream, and this Shambala should be open to anyone who wanted to walk in to it--and besides "our forebears the Anazasis did not believe in borders." O'Reilley did not throw these two "amigos" off the set and off camera , but it looked like he was thinking of it.

Yep, Obama is counting on some of these folks voting for him (in spite of the fact they are illegal) in this next election and their votes putting him over the top. Illegals vote all the time in CA and keep the Dems in power. In fact, if it is identified after the election, the people they voted for stay in power regardless. There will be voter fraud in this election like we have never seen before.

Please. Give me ONE documented example of an illegal voting in California.

Given that California does not require ID to vote in state elections, one would have to be pretty dense to believe no illegals are voting. Federal election? Your utility bill suffices for ID under California state law. This is current from ca.gov/election

As I surmised, no one can produce a single instance of such an occurrence. Nor does logic suggest that an illegal, who has spent precious money and risked life to come here for work to support a family, would risk detection for the chance to cast a vote in an election.

That's not the point dummie; but rather that by allowing wholesale immigration with no enforcement, this administration is declaring to the Hispanics community that they should vote for Obama and Democrats since they are the ones who are allowing their friends and relatives into the country backdoor-illegally!!!!!!!

RCV| 8.30.11 @ 6:18PM

And if Hispanics with the right to vote believe that is the proper policy they should indeed support him, as is their right. Most Hispanics I know have a balanced and reasoned view of immigration and are often tougher on illegals than many non-Hispanics.

RCV| 8.30.11 @ 10:10PM

And it WAS the point. I was addressing the wholly unsupported statement that Nite made that "illegals vote all the time in CA". Just not true.

Unless we deport illegal aliens and reduce the number of relatives legal immigrants can bring here, we will lose the United States. Period.

My beloved wife is a Filipina and we have been married for 6 years. The first requirment for her K1 visa was for us to meet in person. It is virtiously impossible for Phillippine residents to visit the U.S. unless they are wealthy individuals and do not pose the threat of becoming a "public charge" (sic) Anyway off I am to the Phillippines... oh and BTW we conversed via phone, email, and IM 2 years before we actually met in person. She is now a U.S. citizen and I am proud as hell of her... The LEGAL immigration process is made difficult for a reason. And as far as im concerned it should be made MORE difficult... nobody deserves a pass.
