Besides that with all the white racism in the police force you would not think that whites would hold the top rung in any prosecutions now would you?

I can't argue with that. Imagine the pressure the Obama Justice Department is feeling to take action with illegal immigration. I believe he has deported a record number of iillegal immigrants. At the same time, Federal prosecution of bankers are down 96%.

Maybe it's time for the Obama Justice Department to get back to the people who have been so responsible for destroying our economy instead of pursuing these nuisance prosecutions.

You are missing the point. The feds are prosecuting Crimes, not being in the county illegally. These are felonies as far as I can tell. Running drugs and weapons, robbery, murder, crossing state lines committing crimes, etc.

Fifty two percent of the felonies are perpetrated by illegals. The point is not about prosecuting people for being in the country illegally, it is about the criminal acts made by the people in the country illegally.

You may notice that illegals do not represent fifty two percent of the population.

Obama has deported more illegals than Bush ever did.

He has not been lenient in that department at all.

But we don't have to worry about that anymore.

The Repubs want cuts so bye bye deportation judges...lol

Deportation doesn't work anyway.

The only high point of the whole process is they can get stats on each of them as they process them otherwise it is a failed endeavor.

They just come right back sometimes within days of being deported.

It really is a waste of the valuable money we so need now so I do understand why the judges had to go.

Legalize weed. That won't solve the drug trafficing problem but it will help and bring in some tax revenue as well.

The drugs cartels are a huge problem. Aside from the obvious benefits of cheap labor we tolerate the illegal immigration because
we don't want mexico to have a socialist revolution. Do we., the great capitalist of the west really want a socalist country on our border? Hell no!!! The downside to our capitalist exploitation and support of mexico is the extremly powerful cartels. If there was a socialist revolution the drug cartels would be hunted down like the dogs they are. Think cuba.....The cartels run mexico, we don't want that here...

Fix our borders, yes its possible to do. Technology can do amazing things. Ok so maby lasor torrents are a bit much, haha but building a wall is a start. This is a long term issue, there are many benefits to building a border wall.

Deportation doesn't work, politically it is hard accomplish but we should go after felons with no mercy no matter what.

Once they are in here, they are in here for the most part.

My take on it is that we should expand our efforts to get the bad guys, give the good guys a chance and seal off the border.

btw not promoting socialism just mentioning it!

Deportation would create jobs for Americans..

Border security enforcement would also create jobs for Americans.

Offering bounties on illegals would create incentive.

If, either party were to actually enforce Immigration Law our economy would thrive.

No it wouldn't Our economy cannot thrive so log as American business is allowed to send all its capital abroad. That has nothing to do with illegal immigration. States tha are aggressive with immigrant harrassment have problems with their consumer base. But hey! Good luck with that.

BS.laugh laugh laugh laugh
It would open up at least 20 million jobs and take at least that much strain off out public services and off the welfare roles.
Not to mention the strain they put on our medical facilities.

You are right. Rick Perry's "success" in Texas at creating jobs was due to the immigration to his area. Not anything else.

And illegals don't get welfare and such so their strain on these programs is exaggerated.

no, your opinion is exaggerated.....obviously you have never lived in the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, area (yes I know you're in Colorado, but that's a different world.) If you did you wouldn't say that. Sure, statistics might say that, but they're way off.

Here is my soft answer for those repeat illegal aliens...




Doing HARD LABOR,




And my real answer for the repeat offenders...



Go ahead and call me one of these now if it makes you feel warm at night...



But in all honesty what are we supposed to do with law breakers? Have sympathy for the criminal? Come on!

The Repubs wanted cuts, so we can't gripe.:wink:


But the Dems turn a blind eye to dealing with Illegal Immiogrants and extends them amnesty and even gives them welfare.

Your point is? Nudge Nudge.


I get tired of telling you how wrong you are.

Who did the first amnesty? Not a dem

Even Bush wanted to be lenient on this subject.

It is not a Dem created nor encouraged problem. California is the only state that may give them welfare, no one else does so that is wrong too.




Actually it was Ted Kennedy who came up with the idea and drafted the bill.

That seems pretty "forgetful" to me.

The bill's sole sponsor in the Senate was Majority Leader Harry Reid, though it was crafted in large part as a result of efforts by Senators Kennedy, McCain and Kyl, along with Senator Lindsey Graham, and input from President George W. Bush, who strongly supported the bill

Well i certainly have compassion for the decent among them, i know that most of them are just hard working people. Some of them are escaping a practical war-zone.

But we cannot house the entire population of a country. We really need to get tough about this. In fact if our country deteriorates too much it won't even be a *haven* for them. It also forces them and yes i mean primarily mexico and the south american latin countries to get there own house in order if they can't rely on us to take care of there most desperate.

Mexico isn't even a poor country, it is a country of great social divide. The richest man alive in recent months is a Mexican communications and media tycoon. The guy is a total pig too.

As far as pointing blame and going back historical wrongs, people should point a finger where it belongs, Spain....

Tell us about the bill that Kennedy thought up and drafted in the 80s. We all now have the impression that Ted Kennedy introduced some horrible immigration reform bill sometime in the 1980s. Please tell us about it.

You have any documentation on this? Pretty sure you guys were saying the president had nothing to do with deportation when we were complaining about Obamas uncle being here illegally for years and being arrested for drunk driving.
