		<description>1. Seal the border (we did it on 9/12/01 ya know).
2. Go after criminal aliens legal or not.
3. Shut down businesses that employ illegals.
4. Detect, detain, and deport those that don&#039;t deport themselves

There, now that was simple, huh.</description>

		<description>Look, I&#039;m not sure why Congress is having such a hard time with illegal immigration.

I used to live in a part of the country where basements are common. One thing about basements - every so often, a pipe breaks and you get a massive water leak.

Now, I&#039;m no genius, but I do know one thing: when the basement floods, the &lt;strong&gt;first&lt;/strong&gt; thing you do is &lt;strong&gt;turn off the water.&lt;/strong&gt; Unless you do that, any bailing you do is going to be slow going at best, and a losing battle at worst.

Hopefully the application to illegal immigration is obvious: dry up the inflow by as many means as possible. Secure the border AND enact and enforce employer sanctions.

Once you have that done - once you&#039;ve slowed the flood to a trickle - then you can start dealing with the illegal immigrants who are here already. That doesn&#039;t necessarily involve a &quot;mass pogrom and roundup,&quot; as many liberals claim - it just means ICE keeps doing what it&#039;s supposed to be doing. You don&#039;t even need to step up arrests and deportation - attrition will take care of the ones who are here. Of course, you should also let local law enforcement help in the process, not usurping the Federal government&#039;s right to control immigration, but assisting in maintaining it.

This just doesn&#039;t seem to be that difficult, conceptually. Of course, we all know that CONgress is the opposite of PROgress...</description>

		<description>How do you get to pick and choose which laws you can break and which ones you don&#039;t?  I mean, as we&#039;re talking about this all I keep thinking about is this:

You should do a google search on &quot;coupon codes&quot; and &quot;web hosting.&quot; Netfirms and Dreamhost often offer deals for about $20 for your first year of hosting. Your hosting package would come with Wordpress and possibly other blog engines. You could blog to your heart&#039;s content and run your own banners for revenue, or no banners at all.

Good luck with your blog!</description>

It’s all about illegal voting in 2008, and beyond. Law obiding citizens of all persuasions must revolt. Alas, can we count on the liberals to be a part of that? NO

Entelechy on November 5, 2007 at 4:40 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Absolutely, its a liberal ploy to institute a motor voter law just like California.
Liberals love crooks, especially if they vote, if they&#039;re a foreign nationals no problem, vote early and often, for liberals.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wonder who’s going to wind up with control of the country - mexicans or muslims? I guess we’d better continue to be nice to both, huh?

countywolf on November 5, 2007 at 3:59 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s a tough call, I&#039;d say the Muslims, as they are more inherently willing to spill enormous amounts of blood to acheive their goal.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Meanwhile, as a law-abiding, tax-paying immigrant with a graduate-level education, a stable job and a reasonably good command of English, I resent that the word “immigrant” is increasingly being used to mean an uneducated, non-English-speaking, law-breaking lowlife who is in this country to leech on the generous welfare system that we so naively provide to all.

		<description>Hmmm...

We have a petition of redress in the Constitution... just what is the mechanism?

This is a defacto conspiricy to break the law... both Federal and State law within New York... and the Feds are sitting it out... or activly abetting it...

Where is our petition of redress?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wouldn’t say that I’ve turned on Rudy. He just has a lousy record on this and a couple of other issues.

Bryan on November 5, 2007 at 3:44 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I wouldn&#039;t say you &quot;turned&quot; exactly either (even thought I said it). I do believe the &quot;we need somebody to beat Hillary&quot; idea may have influenced you, and many conservatives, to be less critical of Rudy. The op-ed piece you did about his longterm effect on the Republican party and the nation is what I have been harping on for awhile. I just recall that Hotair was not pointing this out.

With Fred as a viable choice you seem to be more willing to acknowledge that Rudy has some serious downsides. If Fred was not in the race, don&#039;t you think your take on Rudy would have to be more nuanced away from those huge negatives?</description>

		<description>I think Hot Air has been fair and harsh on all the republican candidates. I have seen good and bad posts about them all. 

Again we have LEGAL immigration. Its not like we dont allow people here. Its those that refuse to work with the System that causes the problems</description>

		<description>I&#039;m really getting tired of liberal pols flouting the law. Whether its illegals, gay marriage, speed limits, libs get to break the law with impunity. 
You know what &lt;em&gt;they&#039;d&lt;/em&gt; do to you if you didn&#039;t obey the tax laws. 
Its time for the double standards to end. Either we all follow the law, or we stop paying taxes. 
If there was a smart Republican, he/she/it would start making ads about this. Might win a race or two.</description>

		<description>I wonder who&#039;s going to wind up with control of the country - mexicans or muslims?   I guess we&#039;d better continue to be nice to both, huh?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; then Rudy shouldn’t be your guy- he’s every bit as bad as Bush or McCain, if not worse.

While NYC mayor he even defied Bill Clinton&#039;s small steps in this area.</description>

		<description>You know with all these bad ideas and crap about giving illegal aliens all this stuff for free, not to mention them out in huge droves to protest whatever, at what point does the &quot;in the shadows&quot; argument get shown as the absolute BS it is?</description>

Is it me or has Bryan slowly turned on Rudy?

I think the latter.

Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

		<description>Then again, NY is a state that consistently votes liberal. Now, they have to deal with liberal immigration policies and will find hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants migrating to their state. ditto the liberal New England states that are near NY. I mean, they voted for liberal politicians. You get what you voted for.</description>
