The smallest fraction of any sick, depraved, illegal, obscene, violent group (except for white power groups) can, will, and are presently doing anything they want in the most in-your-face manner, and we will do nothing but cower in fear and take another step back. If anyone does find the stones to do something about it, the media will demonize them, then the law will crush them with our full co-operation. This country is lost. Thank God I have no children. A third world future is no future at all. It really angers me to be this negative and actually believe it.

You said; “Justice is not an option — this is why immigration reform is so hard.”

What planet are you living on?

Deportation, is the sanction for entering this country without a legal reason. That is the sanction and it is called Justice.

When are people going to understand that no one has a right to come to this country without permission.Just because there are some 20-30 million lawbreakers currently residing here that does not change the law.

I am really getting tired of this “they just want to feed their families” and that some how gives these criminals a pass to demand that they become legal workers.

The Pro Amnesty crowd are just modern day slave masters willing to create a permanent underclass to ensure that employers continue to profit form cheap labor.

There is no rational reason to have any guest worker program. There are more than enough American Citizens to fill the jobs available.

The problem is that companies have been allowed to ignore the laws of this country and exploit mostly Mexicans to boost their bottom line. Americans are taking in the shorts by having their standard of living lowered to third world levels and on top of that, are subsidizing the slaves with free health care and social services.

There is no rush to round up and Deport these people. They paid to come here and they can pay to leave. I call it the Legal coyote plan.

If the laws were enforced they would leave on their own once they realized the free lunch was over and that they could not get a job. The rest would get arrested over time and should be immediately have all their assets seized and given a one way bus ticket back to where they came from.

Pretty simple solution Tom Grey and it is “Justice” to the 280 million law abiding Americans that are fed up with Illegal Immigration.

The man behind the el paro’s or work stoppages. In the About Us section of his website is this phrase: “… an organization that supports the rights of all immigrants to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Not much time just wanted to let you know I’m still alive excuse the lack of punctuation must be quick conserve energy–electricity could go any minute no evidence yet of massive social upheaval–it’s quiet, too, too quiet–wait! shhh! what was that? gotta go. Courage friends.

Still no sign and you know that’s always a bad sign, used reciprocating saw (somehow managed to figure it out despite no illegal immigrant help) to carve an escape hatch in ceiling so we can escape directly to roof when the fit hits the shan, if you know what I mean, does anyone out there know Morse code? Will return later, if it’s safe

trying to cook for myself with my soft pale white hands, bruised and blistered from doing my own yardwork (how do they survive do this superhuman physical labor? are they even mortal?) can’t figure out how to get the food from the cylindrical metal thing the Capable Ones call “can” am madly beating it against the floor, no use, I think I’ve injured myself will return later once I’ve stopped this bleeding [More]

Tony Valdez: Not so fair and balanced Yesterday at Hot Air, we linked the incredible audio of an interview by KFI’S John and Ken with Tony Valdez at the illegal alien protest in Los Angeles. Valdez rants about 1846,……

By whose definition?? Yours? Don’t come here illegally then. I couldn’t care less about touchy feely stories from the LA Times. If mexico has so many problems, stay home and fix them. Protest there. You know the old saying…..”you don’t crap where you eat”. Well, you just crapped on the hand that has been feeding you. Illegals suck up billions of dollars every year, have forced hospitals and clinics to close due to the free care they’re forced to provide, are contributing MORE AND MORE to the crime rate and what really gets my goat………is they DEMAND “rights”!!!!!!!!! Go to hell, we need to take care of our own before we take care of you. GO PETITION YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT.

What is unjust is clearly the other things you mentioned, illegals getting in line ahead of legal intending immigrants from around the world, and continuing to tolerate the presence of so many illegals.

You don’t have the same feelings? Fine. I grew up here in Southern California, immigrants from Mexico have always been a part of the world that I live in….

Are you willing to sign up for military duty? Are you willing to go over to Iraq (or wherever) to fight as an AMERICAN soldier does, no questions asked? Are you willing to lay down your life for your friend laying in that ditch beside you, who will not see his newborn son, ever? Are you willing to be part of a team who saves the life of a young man whose legs were blown off in a war that is the very essence of what we call FREEDOM? Are you willing to show your red white and blue colors in this way???? I think not. Your idea of freedom is to demand free health care, free food, freedom to breed you offspring and make us pay for it, all the while demanding free education for your children while we pay through the nose for our kids to get an education. Let’s just see who flees to Canada or back to Mexico when the next draft becomes law. HA!!!!

Well….made it through the day without ‘ya, and never even missed ‘ya!

So, before you head back to the dog pound (…just head south from wherever you are and just keep go’in), just wanted to thank you for all that the Mexican heritage and culture has contributed toward the enrichment of civilization ….lets see …science?….medicine?…. literature?….technology?……ok, GOT IT!….hey, THANKS FOR THE TACOS AND CHALUPAS…LOVE THOSE!!. Ok, bye-bye now!

1. The abundance of Che Guevara signs. I don’t recall ever hearing him referred to as a champion of immigrant rights. And for those that are so mentally challenged as to mention his name in the context of human rights, perhaps we’re thinking of two different Che Guevaras. Unfortunately, the only one I’m familiar with was Castro’s chief executioner who brutally murdered dissidents and created an empire of gulags to imprison those politically opposed that weren’t murdered, as well as gays and women and children with aids.

2. The Mumia signs, provided courtesy of the America-haters at A.N.S.W.E.R. Another connection I’m obviously missing is how a racist cop-killer can be an icon of immigrant rights. Yes, that’s the same group run by Ramsey Clark, who rushed to the defense of Saddam, eager to “bitch slap” America at every chance he has.

3. Finally, the lead banner with the anarchists logo. So, they want to be recognized by a government that they prefer be completely abolished. (They were also part of the group that continued their march past Foley Square and tried to take over the roadway at the Brooklyn Bridge, and then made charges of police brutality when they were restrained from inciting chaos.

If I were trying to convince the American people that I should be a fellow citizen, I’d certainly distance myself from as many of these people as I could.

How many are on waiting lists for immigration, how many are waiting for green cards (visas that allow legal work)? How long does a Mexican have to wait to come to America legally?

Even without knowing how long the waits are (facts), it is possible to state some principles. Honest people willing to work should be able to come to America without waiting more than 5 years — I think 4 years is better, and even 2 years is a reasonable target.

How many people in the world have been on waiting lists for more than 5 years? — immigration reform should offer all of them some path to get to America, fast.
Justice in a trial requires a “speedy trial” — justice for immigration also requires lines that are reasonable; more than 5 years becomes “unjust”.

There is no fair or just way to solve the illegal Immigration mess. Enforcing the current laws, meaning forcibly sending the illegals all home, is not just. Continuing to tolerate their stay as illegals is not just. Granting them amnesty, rewarding their lawbreaking, is not just to those waiting for the legal process.
“Justice” is not an option — this is why immigration reform is so hard.
Continued toleration at least has the political fig leaf of not actively favoring enforcement of an unjust solution, like Michelle Malkin and other “nativists” do.

At least almost everybody agrees that “there is no free lunch” available on this issue, which is one of the two main economic points that must be followed. The other big point: incentives matter. A reasonable compromise must get the incentives right. To get the incentives right, the end-state goals must be clearly defined:
1) All workers in America are legal
2) Many illegals have become documented
3) Many illegals have left
4) Those who want to come to America prefer to wait in line rather than to come illegally.

It is ONLY if goal (4) is true that goal (1) is reasonable, as long as poor Mexicans would rather try to get in illegally, many workers will not be legal. T
he fence helps, but only a little bit, at making it better to wait than to cheat.
4b) The legal line wait must be less than 5 years.

But there need to be incentives for the employers, too:
5) It must be cheaper to hire more expensive legals than to pay lower wages to illegals.
At least most reform “talk” includes point (5) — higher fines on the firms who hire illegals.
The fine should start at a $1000 / per illegal, and increase by $1000 every quarter until there are 12 million new “documented” workers in the USA.

The issue of “guest workers,” which is highly addressed, has overshadowed the issue of increasing the number of legal immigrants. There should be 1.5 million/year; 1 million from the rest of the world, and 500 000 from Mexico. The number from Mexico should be scheduled to increase by 100 000/year until it reaches a level so that nobody on the waiting list has been waiting more than 5 years.

http://immigration.about.com/od/uscasestatusprocessing/i/BacklogIssues.htm

There are family members of green card holders who have been waiting for 17 years.

The USCIS receives approximately 6 million applications each year.
USCIS backlog at the end of FY 2003 (September 2002) was 3.7 million cases, however, backlog since then has been reduced by 212,000.

The USA should allow 500 000 guest workers, based on 1/3 waiting time plus 2/3 English language ability — so Indians and Pakistanis who speak English will get preference over Mexicans who don’t. Such Guest Workers should also be contributing to their “return fund”, at the same 5, 10, 20, 30% rates. With an additional number of spots so that Mexicans total at least 100 000 GWs.

The system needs: incentives to register and become legal, either in America or in Mexico (or home country; but the real problem is Mexico).

A good compromise should have the following features: it will be economically less comfortable for the illegals to stay, so there is some real incentive for them to leave — there will be some big fines.
Employers will face big fines.

Allowing illegals to register, pay a big fine, and get in line behind everybody who is waiting in Mexico, for legal immigration, seems the most reasonable compromise. A big fine — like $20 000, payable on an progressive, affordability basis: 5% of all wages plus 10% of middle class level (33rd percentile? 80% of prior year’s median?) plus 20% of above average wages plus 30% of above twice average.

LA Times has some personal stories:
“A cleaning woman who earns $70 a day, she said it was worth losing a day’s wages to make her case. She clutched a small poster that summed up the sentiments of many: “We Just Want a Taste of the American Dream.” “

“Abrego came in July to do construction work so he could save money to build his own house back home, where he earned about $100 a week driving trucks. Here he earns about $400 a week. “We are asking the rich of the United States to respect us.””

$70/day = 350/week ~ 17 500/yr. So the cleaning woman would pay ~$3.50/day, the construction worker would pay ~$20/week (for 1000 weeks). Only after their fine is paid would they be eligible to apply for full, legal immigrant status, the path towards citizenship.
Illegals who are willing to return home should get a social security tax refund — the number they used should be checked to see how much of the $7 billion in overpayments they paid; and this should be a return fund nest egg.

My new twist — firms that are caught hiring illegals will pay a big fine AND be required to accept legal GWs, so their internal workforce is rapidly “legalized”. As more firms face this “fine plus legalization” process, other firms will try to avoid the fines by pre-emptive legalization. There should be a greatly reduced fine, perhaps only 10%, for those firms who admit to “not knowing” their status, and requesting a UCIS/ INS background check (thus, only $100/ worker in the first quarter). Such “uncertain status” firms would NOT need to accept legal GWs, if many were found to be illegal

Take. Back. California! …

I thought I would give a round up of the days events and ad some personal perspective as to why this issue matters so much to me.This morning, my apartment complex’s cleaning-lady was right on schedule, doing her rounds. T ……
