I couldn’t agree more with Eric from CA. There is not a dimes worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans on the way to handle the illegal immigration issue. Simply put, the Democratic and Republican leadership want the American citizenry to foot the bill for the illegal entry and residence of tens of millions of Mexico’s citizens and their children, and this at a time that the two party system has almost brought the nation to utter ruin, with outsourcing, insourcing, and foreign wars. Wow! So the vast infrastructure of schools, government programs, welfare, and all the rest, that was created for Americans at a time of prosperity is to be kept up and even expanded (think of all the schools being built) by the citizenry’s taxes. Where else do people think the money is going to come from. It is surreal. Schools were closing in the eighties and tax burdens on the citizenry were going down. Now schools can be built fast enough, all at the citizenry’s expense, and no end is in sight to the massive, unrelenting illegal immigration. Americans must not get it. It’s a recipe for middle class poverty, if ever there was one.

What is lacking today is personal courage. People do not want to be labeled xenophobic. Why not? It is not xenophobic to want to protected your country from the ocean of illegal aliens crossing our border.

What we need are people who will stand up for this country with pride and protect what we have left.

Two years ago the government changed the number of illegals in the country to 12 million, using a different formula for counting them. In truth is is closer to 20 million, if not more. And every day I personnally see more coming over the border. The Pew Institute used numbers from the census to come to the 12 million figure. I am sure all illegal aliens did not respond to the census.

The fence does not work, we need troops on the border. That is a fact.

Until Mexico, the sixth richest country in the world, steps up and helps their own, we will continue to see illegal aliens sneaking through our backyards on their way to your community.

Where has common sense gone? We need to obviously get active in the party and replace these loons at the top.

We need a change. There will be no change with either party. So, why vote at all.

When are the Republicrats going to get it.

We are sick of the abortion debate, and the religous nuts controlling the party. They have endgaged in fraud with the Democrats on “Immigration Reform” to include amnesty for illegal aliens and ingnored fiscal responsibility on their watch.

They consistently betray conservative principles and have made themselves obsolete to the restrained government principles of their own party.

It is time for a change to the two party system.
