Immigrant rights groups combat negative media perceptions

"What if I broke into your home (looking for a better life for me and my children). Would that give me a right to stay in your house?"

You got lucky, being born in this country. I got lucky too. But don't for a second think that gives you some divine right to enjoy America's freedoms over anybody else. Try to show a little more humility.

It has nothing to do with the media. American workers can not find jobs and will never support alddng 20 million foreign workers to the current job pool.

Come back when America is thriving and there is a need for additional workers.

What if I broke into your home (looking for a better life for me and my children). Would that give me a right to stay in your house? Then on top of that, what if I demanded that you educate my children, pay for our health care, protect us, feed us and so on? You would think I was crazy! You would call the police to have me arrested and deported from your property. Would you care if I claimed it was to better my children’s future?

What if I came in and undercut your legal wages by having an employer hire me for slave wages, and not pay taxes and government fees on my wages, which ultimately cost you your job because I was so cheap to hire? And then the government told you, “Hey it was a job Americans wouldn’t do anyways” when the truth is, it was a job your employer wouldn’t pay the legal wages for an American to do.

I am not anti anything. Just want the country to enforce it’s very basic immigration laws so all Americans have a fair chance to feed their families with livable wages.

Racism, hate, and phobia is the language that these illegal parasites and their communist/marxist/socialist "advocates and enablers" have in order to make their argument, which means a lost argument.  Ours stand on the laws, while theirs stand on lies and deceit.

Good for the immigrant community!! It is time for those who do not understand the concept of immigration reform to understand that IT IS NOS AN AMNESTY!! and it is only a call to fix a broken system. I say to those who lack the knowledge and understanding of what comprehensive immigration reform is to get inform before making comments full of xenophobia and ignorance. 

Hate-filled language does not add to the debate about inclusion or human rights.  Efforts to exclude human beings always begin by dehumanizing a group of people.  This makes it easier to devalue and abuse them, especially if they are marginalized and disempowered.  This was true with the Germans and Irish in times past, and it's true in the present context of immigration to the US.  I applaud the efforts of those organizing and speaking out against xenophobia and hate.  As a society, we cannot allow ourselves to adopt nativist terminology to depreciate the value of another human being, irrespective of their country of origin.

If the Democrats, Republicans and anti-sovereignty Liberals want Immigration Reform, all they have to do is amend the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli law? This will save a huge amounts of money and wasted time in debating behind closed doors laws, not in the interest of the American public. To start the ball rolling implement huge penalties for company owners who ignore E-Verify, so judges can issue huge fines and mandatory prison with confiscation rights to their criminal businesses. Make E-verify, the computer program in the SAVE ACT law, permanent and nationwide for every person new and old who draws a payroll check. E-verify will not express the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants, but severe risk to businesses being caught using illegal foreign nationals instead of citizens and legal residents, will start a country wide exodus. We should follow the example of less lenient other countries, such as Mexico. Being illegally in Mexico is a fast passport to prison or worse. See what happens to you, if you enter from Guatemala? If we need guest worker's in future years, organize it like a military program, with eye scans and fingerprint documentation. This must be strictly overseen by Federal agents and not by a lax, indifferent method through the Dept of Labor?

Every year more than a million new immigrants are given visas to enter America, with no regard for the US workforce. These are supposedly well educated, highly skilled legal resident workers, but this is far from the truth. There is hardly no oversight to these sub-standard technical workers, who in many cases are substituted for Americans. We are jettisoned for individuals from the majority of poor countries who take minimum wages--far below what US workers expect? Stop unscrupulous lawyers in the pay of criminal employers, to import low skilled foreigners, who will become taxpayer charges? Start a points system to encourage highly skilled individuals, with powerful credentials in engineering, science and other sort after qualifications. According to sources their are at least 8 million foreigners are working illegally, so the rest of unauthorized people must be made up of family members? That arrives at an estimate of between 20 to 30 million people, who should have not stayed or even stepped into America? ”

A NumbersUSA director , visiting with Border Patrol Agents in the Tucson Sector in mid-October of 2009 asked if they believe the official Dept of Homeland Security statement that three illegal aliens successfully enter the United States for every one who is apprehended, to which they laughed. THE REALITY, THEY SAID, IS THAT 10 OR MORE GET THROUGH FOR EVERY ONE WHO IS CAUGHT. Make it a felony to overstay a entry visa or slip by the US border patrol without permission. Give local police full power to arrest and detain illegal immigrants under the 287 (G) federal program. Fully fund all these program, including ICE audits around the country. Also construct the border wall as originally introduced by Rep.Duncan Hunter as a double fence, across America--not single standing wall. Bring in the National Guard to reinforce the US Border Agents, with the right to arrest criminals and a whole list of illegal entrants. Politicians should enforce our immigration laws, not pander to the open border lobbyists.

Don't re-elect Sen. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Janet Napolitano who have stealthily underfunded and lowered our security within the confines of the US. Let us make an example of any legislator who defies THE PEOPLE'S wishes? Learn who is undermining US security and which lawmakers have been corrupted by lobbyists at JUDICIAL WATCH & NUMBERSUSA.

PS: HOW MANY ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL VOTE IN THE THE MID-TERM ELECTIONS--SPECIALLY IN SANCTUARY CALIFORNIA?

Every person who came to this country in violation of the law knew that they were breaking the law when they came here.  That is why they had to cross illegally and why they continue to hide from the law to this day.  It does not matter how hard you work when you are breaking the law.  Granting amnesty in exchange for increased law enforcement has been tried.  It did not work out very well.  The amnesty was granted and no meaningful law enforcement ever came about.  Just enforce the law as written (real enforcement) and this problem will end.  The law must apply to everyone or it is meaningless.

Yes, people can be illegal.  If the aliens cannot abide by our laws and enter this country legally then they will never gain the respect they "think" they deserve.  Americans are disgusted with the 20 million or so who have no regard for our laws and think they can come here, continue to break more laws and then DEMAND rights.  Who the heck are these people anway and what makes them think they have any say in this matter.  Then the advocates have the nerve to say illegals should not be detained if found.  What a crock of BS.  They want to break all the rules but not have to pay for the consequences of their actions.  The illegals and their advocates can cry all they want but they will NEVER get respect...period...because they deserve none.  Maybe if they stood for something other than lawlessness and being criminals, they might get the recognition they desire. 

An illegal alien is just that, and illegal alien.  That's the way it's been, and that's the way it will be.  That's the problem with these people and these traitorous marxist groups and individuals who advocate for them; they come in here illegally, and then try to change everything in order to whitewash their illegality.  That game's over, we're awake now and see how we've been played.
