Stay with it.
A message from Virginia. Crack down NOW and ASAP. You do not want to live in the 3rd world cesspool created here by the illegals.
Your quality of life will decline!!! Be WARNED.
Yes illegals get welfare for their anchor babies. Check out the Congressional Budget Office report on this. Also the Heritage Foundation report. It is estiamted each illegal AFTER THEIR CONTRIUBITON IS ADDED, is still subsidized to the tune of 24,000 per year.
Illegals are parasites.
I have nothing against the legal immigrats from any country, but lets get tough with the one that have already shown by their illegal immigratrion that the do not care about our laws. I say make in a felony in UTah to be an illegal.
Can you list terrorism conducted by those you seem to focus as the only illegals in this country being latinos?
How about those illegals from Canada, China, Europe, oh could that be that its easier to blame a group that does show up americans when it comes to working harder and longer for less?!
Please by all means, go and take those jobs away from those illegals; first go out and pick the lettuce, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, almonds, oranges, etc. Make sure you demand to start at $14.00 because you have to bend over to pick and work in contaminated crops. Then go and take those back breaking construction jobs, and by all means please go and clean up after me in the hotels that I stay in, I like my toilet boil real clean!
geez, stop your Complaining
A racist is one who believes that one group should have rights that another does not have. Well, stop and think! It is the illegal aliens who believe that THEY should be above our laws, while the rest of us follow them.
That, my friends, is racist!
And, to the one who whines about it being a federal issue: Well, it is, but when they won't do the job, WE CAN do it at the state level.
This group of bills this year will go a long way to doing just that.
The report cites several key tactics used by anti-immigrant groups, including:
Describing immigrants as "third world invaders," who come to America to destroy our heritage, "colonize" the country and attack our "way of life." This charge is used against Hispanics, Asians and other people of color.
Using terminology that describes immigrants as part of "hordes" that "swarm" over the border. This dehumanizing language has become common.
Portraying immigrants as carriers of diseases like leprosy, tuberculosis, Chagas disease (a potentially fatal parasitic disease), dengue fever, polio, malaria.
Depicting immigrants as criminals, murderers, rapists, terrorists, and a danger to children and families.
Propagating conspiracy theories about an alleged secret "reconquista" plot by Mexican immigrants to create a "greater Mexico" by seizing seven states in the American Southwest that once belonged to Mexico.
Keep going, you've only missed a few.
p.s., nevermind the fact these so-called law breakers are the only reason you old geezers and baby boomers are getting a social security check.
YOOO BETCHA! REP. SANDSTROM.....YOO ROKK DOOOOD!
(Hint: Check the demographics, they like to live most where they are welcome ie, the "Progressive" Northeast excluding the Hamptons, Hyannis, Martha Vineyard and Nantucket of course.)
But, I had to live by the UCMJ in addition to all federal, state & local laws. Violation of any of them & my military career was in jeopardy. Why should I accept anything less from those that come here in violation of the law? I don't. By the way, I have a grandson, Kenneth (named for Grandpa) & middle name Ortega (named for his dad). If we now choose to ignore laws, anarchy is here.
P.S. America was founded by our four fathers that decided to leave England because they wanted to be free and have a better life. All "true" Americans started out being immigrants. Isn't that ironic.
He was put in office to uphold the law and that is what he is doing.
Just because the unlawful arn't being treated as important foreign dignitaries, is no reason for U.S. citizens to complain.
