Community Columnist: ‘Attrition’ immigration plan brings misery

" Ah the Dems role out their next fight - to grant amnesty to illegals. Just wonderful. "

" Ah, a recent immigre to GV. Stop playing golf and start looking around you to see the truth of what illegal immigration is doing to Green Valley and Arizona in general. Bet you are from MN, WI or OR. "

" The point is not anti-immigration. It is anti-illegal immigration. Let's not blur the difference. "

" JUST AMEND THE 1986 IMMIGRATION CONTROL & REFORM ACT

The administration had better take notice of the American people, specially in border states that have been invaded by illegal trespassers. That is not saying that a hundred percent of illegal alien families that have poured across our sovereignty fence line Millions of other law breakers have either thrown away their return airline tickets, or just let their entry visa expired to take up illegal residents here. None of this should be tolerated? If it was in my power I would implement Mexico's strict immigration laws, which are--ENFORCED Unlike our country, that has been jettisoned by years of greed. Politicians have remained the lap-dogs of corporate welfare, even as they play lip-service to pacify the people who have urged physical enforcement through many Presidents. Unfortunately if Amnesty gets the votes, E-Verify, local police detainment, ICE raids and everything else in the enforcement arsenal, will become obsolete. Those already here can then bring in their extended family, which mean just calculating the numbers already here and it will at least triple.. And before the CIR is even signed millions more will try to to dodge detection and will become the next layers of illegal immigrants, who will bankrupt every state and county looking for free handouts. We need superior skilled workers, not people that end up in the welfare line or on church doorsteps. IF AMNESTY PASSES, FAMILY UNIFICATION WILL BRING INTO THIS COUNTRY IRREVERSIBLE MILLIONS MORE. SOMEWHERE IN ACCESS OF 60 TO 70 MILLION.

America is in crisis mode, from the unceasing flow of destitute foreigners who have swamped the welfare system. Proponents keep repeating that their-ONLY-here to work, "Jobs Americans wont do..?" It's proved to be a bitter lie.This has just been pure propaganda by just noting the sudden appearance of US citizens and residents for vacant jobs. Shown after the raids at meat packing plants in the hinterland. It's been repeated time and again, that Americans cannot survive on the pittances that greedy businesses will pay illegal hiring.

I don't know how the Amnesty is going to go over should it pass, as out-of-work Americans might turn ugly. For sure all Democrats and Republics will be sacrificed, at the midterm and in November elections Any kind of pardon for people who ignored our laws, could cause unrest and even riots of millions of Americans, before they march on Washington. When 15 million Americans have lost their jobs with no ending in sight and cannot put food on the table for their kids and spouses it might cause massive protests The population are seething with anger over health care, an illegal US census, which enumerates illegal immigrants who should not even be here? Then we have this Amnesty travesty, that will give an absolutely free reward to people who ignored the "Rule of Law". Those who have a right by birth to be here, or by the generosity of THE PEOPLE are allowed to immigrate here. But illegal immigrants are allowed to give the finger, yet given a golden stipend. For the same vilolation Americans would be imprisoned for breaking the law in Mexico or other countries

Even industrialized nations have no leniency for people who shun the law. Politicians--our elected civil servants are supposedly acting in the name of the majority of the American people. When in actual fact, they enact laws on behalf wealthy businessmen, who can pay them the most money. It should be remembered that this clump of mostly corrupt legislators were attorneys, before they joined the wolf pack in Washington. They may have had sincere intentions, to originally carry out the publics wishes. But somewhere down the line they were corrupted by the lobbyists, swarming by the cartload on the Capitol buildings like copious flies, their wallets stuffed with money and favors? Only Americans and legal residents should have a right to assemble, not foreign nationals in rallies demanding rights. Its a sure to infuriate the millions who have waited years patiently to receive an entry visa.

They are probably are asking themselves why bother with laws, when you can slip through a non-existing fence in some places. Perhaps they should recognize, that they don't have to cringe in the shadows, because they didn't violate the immigration laws. We have become soft as a nation and have let the business community and open border groups intimidate us. Its not these entities that pay for these people that they hire? Its the American taxpayers who carries the the whole and complete financial weight of the extra subsistence for these illegal aliens.

" They acknowledge that this action would be costly and impractical to implement as well as morally repugnant to the general public.


naaahh, the spineless in DC won't enforce our laws and do what they are paid to do "

" Please stop referring to illegal aliens as "undocumented immigrants." They are nothing of the kind. Immigrants are individuals who have obeyed the law and have a right to be here. The illegal aliens currently living in our country are not immigrants, and they are certainly not "undocumented." The vast majority of them have numerous documents -- phony, fraudulent, illegal documents -- often stolen from a law-abiding American citizen.

As for the "misery" that attrition by enforcement supposedly inflicts on illegal aliens, too bad. There should be unpleasant consequences for people who knowingly and deliberately break our laws. If we continue to make life easy for illegal aliens and continue to reward them for their lawlessness, we will only encourage more illegal aliens to come here and break our laws.

I'm sick of people like the author of this article accusing the rest of us of being racists or nativists because we don't want another amnesty. We've done that seven times already, and each time we've gotten the same result: more illegal aliens. Enough already! We will never stop this behavior if we continue to reward it -- and that is exactly what all these various amnesty plans do -- they reward the aliens for coming, and staying, here in violation of our laws.


Yes, enforcement is going to be tough and expensive, but so is allowing millions of illegal aliens -- many of whom are criminals -- to continue to flood unchecked across our border. We have nearly 17% of Americans under- or unemployed; we are trillions of dollars in debt; and our idiotic Congress just passed yet another gigantic, unaffordable entitlement boondoggle. We simply can't afford to keep pretending that we can absorb unlimited numbers of Mexico's and the rest of the Third World's poor. "

" "Attrition as an immigration plan" will
bring much less misery to the illegals than
they inflict on the rest of us with their
criminal reign of murder, rape, ethnic intimidation, animal cruelty, and environmental despoilation. "

" Illegal aliens are destroying this Country, and one would have to be almost blind not to see this. How much longer do we have to support these illegal aliens? How much longer do we have to school their illegal alien children? How much longer are we going to let them have our jobs? How much longer are we going to put up with all the crime, stolen identities, forged documents, fake green cards? How much longer are we going to allow these illegal aliens to send money out of this Country and bring our Country down? Oh, amnesty will correct all this. WRONG! Nothing will change except we wouldn't be able to call them illegal aliens any more. Let's get rid of these illegal aliens! Let's get them back to their own Country where they belong!

I'm from Delaware, and we are pressing to get the Oklahoma State Illegal Immigration Law, HB 1804. passed here in Delaware. Three years ago we had about 32,000 illegal aliens here. Today we have about 68,000 illegal aliens here. We have had it! We want our State back! "

" "Arizona is widely seen as the front-runner in the race to create a harsh, fear-inducing environment for immigrants."

You say that as if it's a bad thing..... "

" May 8, 2008, USA Today reports 300,000 children, some as young as 5 years old are doing farm jobs on Mexican farms in violation of their child labor laws. They are just doing jobs Mexican adults won't do. It's low paying. Looks like the adults want to make more money, so they steal across the border, undercut American workers and still make more money than back home. The greedy, criminal employer makes alot more money.

Victims: 300,000 children south of the border; American workers that have lost $billions in reduced wages; 15 million Americans that have lost jobs, cars, homes; 10,000 Americans murdered and killed in DUIs; 100,000 Americans raped and molested; millions of Americans that have been robbed and assaulted, 100s of millions of Americans paying taxes for the new Welfare Queens and thir 'dependents', welfare, education and medical costs of millions of felon illegal aliens from every country in the world. The 1986 amnesty from deportation was a total failure. Never again! "

" It is time to grant amnesty unconditionally to all those who have come to our country. Open the borders and let the poor, tired and hungry enter our country and feast on all benefits.

And when you do.......shoot me! "

" This commentary was moronic. She mentioned "Anti-Immigration" eight times !! Who is she trying to kid. Nobody is against "Immigration", they're against "Illegal Immigration"...that, just for clarification is breaking the law to get into this country.

I just read the Top 10 myths handed out in Quail Creek by someone seeing attention. It was written seven years ago by an open border group. Every one of them began "immigrants don't pay taxes" etc. etc. Nobdy is talking about immigrants. We know they pay taxes and every other "myth" mentioned in that phony document.. "

" Excellent, knowledgeable comments! It's just that the "minority" voice will be the one Congress (as it stands now) will listen to the illegals and their leading socialist organization, La Raza, and this will be the "LAST STRAW" the American people/taxpayers can take in this year and a half of misery from Pelosi, Reid and Obama. Don't forget, it was a supposed bi-partisan bill which will be reserected, "McCain/Kennedy" Amnesty Bill. This is no longer a Rep. vs. Dem., it is going to be the Independent voter who says...THIS IS THE LAST STRAW...and God knows what will play out in the November election. If you think ACORN was dirty...you haven't seen anything until LA RAZA REACHES FULL STEAM. "

" Might be "too miserable" to stay in the US as an Illegal Alien??? Well, too bad!

Anyone who has been involved with addictions or with AA or Al-a-Non understands what "enabling" means. The US has been "enabling" Mexicans and Big Business for years so that we have the whopping problems we do today. The best way to break the stranglehold that illegals are placing on our country is to make it MISERABLE for them to be here.

When are our elected officials going to "get it" that we've all had ENOUGH!!
And when are you pie-in-the-sky liberal ENABLERS going to stop? You're all just superb experts at crying "foul" and then spending everyone else's money. "

" I rate these comments with a 10! Glad to know there are still some thinking folks who respond here. For a while there I thought GV was filled with nothing but liberal water carriers and people putting up tents in the desert to help the Mexicans coming across illegally. "
