Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
—Emma Lazarus, 1883 av

The executive branch of Government makes sure that the laws of the
United States are obeyed. The President of the United States is the head
of the executive branch of government. This branch is very large so the
President gets help from the Vice President, department heads (Cabinet
members), and heads of independent agencies.

Mr. President, enforce the laws!!!

They are here as a source of cheap labor and the powers that be are
gonna fight to protect that. They have a deflationary effect on wages
across the board. In this area anyway, you can't make any more money
doing construction work than you could 20 years ago.
Fine the employers severely and the problem would go away.

Voil - “Now, while your laws are quite clear on the sublect, ALL your
law
enforcing elements, starting with Washington and its concerted
governmental facitilties, are not only ignoring the law, but encouraging
people from Mexico in particular, to keep crossing the Border in
droves.”

Please clarify. I live in Washington State. Are you referring to that
Washington, or D.C.? In D.C. sure, there are rich politicians making
money I imagine, but not nearly as prevalent as all those employers who
hire/hide them. Here in the state we have been having problems with, and
trying to discourage them coming for at least 20 years now. At least
any and all of the people I have ever encountered.

“WHO ARE TH ILLEGALS AND CRIMINALS HERE?!?!?”
First the criminals who illegally cross the border, and then the
employers etc that hire them.

“'illegals' might turn to be some of your own?!?!?”
My own? Hardly, don’t even know where you came up with a remark like
that.

“"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath
free" (Mexican people among others, would fall in that category,
wouldn't they?)”

Never said they couldn’t come here legally, now did I?

“You mean like actually enforcing border control so they wouldn’t be
able
to sneak into the US in the first place? That would be nice.”

Sure would. Just wish the Minute Men were getting free reign down there
instead of being held back.

“How can we say: 'give us your tired, your poor,..." and ask that they
come in 'legally', when WA and your business communities have no
intention of enforcing that they come in in a 'legal' manner!!!”

A lot of assumptions there. And again, there is a big difference
between the state and D.C., so don’t even know where your post is
actually addressing. Most people will say that what comes out of D.C.
in no way represents their feelings/beliefs/interests.

“Mr. President, enforce the laws!!!”
RFLMAO, but then his side kick would also be in jail for assault with a
deadly weapon. As a matter of fact, most of those he associates with
would also be up on some kind of charges.
