So the way I see it is ....if someone is not chasing you with a butcher knife than wait in line just like everyone else.

Iâ??ve been to Panmunjeom and the JSA/DMZ and South Koreanâ??s donâ??t have to worry about fleeing millions of North Koreans because North Korean soldiers would shoot them in the back if they tried. Thatâ??s not exactly Mr. Foxâ??s solution he gives them maps and tips on how to violate our sovereignty.

I think employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants should be severally punished. If you stop making it beneficial to them they will stop doing it.

I have no way of knowing if the fine Mexican at the pizza joint is illegal or not. It is left up to the employer to check his documentation.

I would like very much to be able to grow my own grass : )
Concerning employers in this state (Alabama) they did get a rude awakening last year in a lawsuit which was won by the defendant (17 year old illegal) who was working on the roof of a new home being built when he fell and was in a coma for a few days,sustained permanent brain damage and the courts here ruled that his employers had to pay a settlement and he WILL get a check for life..being cared for now by his Mother..the company will not appeal the ruling so...business owners still hire of course but are really beginning to understand they want more and more and are winning. When a certain part of Alabama was being "taken over" literally by the dangerous ones that we didn't even know who they were...we started taking pics of the employers tags picking them up for "work" and sent them to the IRS..thats the only time we actually saw any action taken. Its difficult to continue the way things are now considering the rally held here had apprx. 200 legals and illegals and the main focus was on the women (illegals) that had multiple children with them saying their children are legal and they need their parents..what can you do with that? And also the main theme was a moajority saying that we can send them home but they will be back tomorrow...and are never going to stop...oh well there is another "rally" coming up the 8th of next month so...should be interesting.
