Many illegal immigrants live in public housing

Protect the border from true danger. Terrorists. Drug Dealers. Contamination.

The Illegals, although problematic to some, are not the biggest worry. We have an illegal situation. Give them temp. residency. Tax them. Fine them for 2-3 yrs with a tax rate that is 10-15% higher than std. residents. Legalize them after the fining period. Keep new ones from coming in.

Moving forward, setup the borders like military zones (ref. North/South Korea). Use force to make the point that you are serious. Remove your border patrol from the interior of the country. Deploy all BP to the borders. Set them up every 1/4 mile along the border.

Make American owned maquiladoras pay wages comparable to those that factories in the US pay. Keep American companies from paying less than comparable wages to employees, whether they work in Mexico or China. This will keep people in their own countries, while making Americans more competitive. Employ heavy import taxes on all merchandise coming in from out of the country.
Put together a public option for healthcare that addresses all legal residents. Don't go nuts with it. People who already have insurance can continue to pay for what they have. A national option addresses primarily those with no care or under-insurance.

You either pay for it now, or you pay for it later.
Legalize drugs in the US. This will also address some of the illegal issues. Make it legal, tax it, let American legitimate businesses make money. Take away the large luster of money making that currently comes with that job. Addresses the revolutionary war going on in Mexico. Keeps people home.
Reduce the size of gov't by simply using common sense. Reduced # of illegals requires less border patrol agents. Legalization of drugs requires less customs, ATF, etc. agents. National healthcare ensures that we are paying what is happening today, today. Paying comparable wages to US wages will keep people in their countries.
Limit public office terms to 1 term per office. No more making a career from politics or public office. Reduces corruption and people's ability to enter w/too much self interest.
Hold public officials accountable prior to admitting to office.

We keep trying to make this ROCKET SCIENCE, when in reality, all it takes is for politicians to make laws that make sense to the country. They lack the ability to ACT on anything. They figure that as long as they ride the middle, they get the maximum amount of votes, while having to do or deliver nothing. The RIGHT, The LEFT. These are just there to get you all going so that things don't ever change.

Republicans gotta stop blaming Obama for everyting. We lost because we had an idiot in office and we went down the wrong road. We forgot that it is WE THE PEOPLE. Instead of trashing, trashing and more trashing of Democrats, we need to not only trash, but tell them how to do it. We are not making friends or gaining ground by simply saying that the Democrats are idiots. If they are idiots, lets tell them why and how we would fix the problem if we were in charge.

Respectfully,

The Boot!

Pelosi's running America. Our kids don't stand a chance. In San Fran, Speaker Nancy is elected by panty waisted elitist progressives who don't even allow the ROTC to be in schools.

Sounds like we can sit here and bitch and complain or do something about it.

Obamanation's aunt for one, and his brother would like to relocate from his mud hut in Kenya.

All in the family......

GET ALL ILLEGALS AND THEIR ANCHOR BABIES OUT OF THE USA!

I think anyone who really thinks this is a problem, should e-mail their congress, senate, and city reps, along with whoever will listen: REVOKE BENEFITS TO ANCHOR BABIES........That will dead head half of today's problems, and eliminate mose of the future problems.

.....and e-verify (works great) will take care of most of the other half.

All Hail the least among us.
San Fran Nancy finally decimated your chidlrens future. Illegals only infest the State where citizens are cowards.

Nothing too good for the tax payers! Keep supporting these idiots that we have in our House & Senate straight partyers!

Wake up gringos! We will be legal soon, so you won't have to keep bitching about illegal aliens!

Jose, why aren't you legal now? WHat are you waiting for?

Does anyone still use that word "gringos?"

Look to the root of the problem. We are trying to prune the tree, when we should be pulling from the roots.

Think about this a little bit. If illegals are in public housing or taking advantage of any public help, it is because the current system allows for this.

This makes this our problem and complaining about illegals taking advantage of the system will not help.

Those people that you vote for need to change how the public help system works.

Look to the root of the problem. We get so wrapped up in the leaves that we forget there is a big trunk and deep roots.

If this scum becomes legal then he will have to pay taxes! that means no foodstamps or med. card !

I'm alright with him becoming legal. I think the punishment should be 25-30% tax rate for 2-3 yrs with no exemptions at all (no child tax credit, no NADA).

We should legalize the ones that are here and seriously patrol the border. 1 agent evey 1/4 mile 24/7 - 33,000 agents should cover the 2000 miles. Get the agents out of the internals of the country and out doing what the original intent was BORDER PATROL ... it's not INSIDE THE NATION PATROL ...

Only La Raza Anachists and panty waisted Progressives still use Gringo. Other Americans have basis dignity and some class which prevents stupid name calling. Jose must have been an orphan. Have pity on him.

We are waiting for Obammy gringo!!

My best friend is an anglo. He's got no issue with people calling him Gringo. He himself calls himself Gringo. Very educated, very classy person. Nothing to do with education or class.

Most people that use that word are Americans. I have found .....well none....Hispanic people that call us that.

Jose, FYI, don't assume everybody that is not hispanic or black is white. Their are hundreds of other ethnicies in this great melting pot we call th USA, which I love, & wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. But, I am 3rd generation here, legally in the USA, & where my grandparents came from, I won't even EVER consider visiting. But I also love my heritage & culture.

Illegal aliens in our public housing was boring news 50 years ago.
Nothing is going to be done about it. After Obama grants amnesty to multi-millions of illegal aliens, the Government will appropriate billions to build more low-rent housing projects to meet their needs. Then the snowball effect kicks in, as it always has in the past, after amnesties. All the new "amnestees" will then illegally bring in their extended families to share their free housing (Oh, they will have to pay a fraction of their welfare checks for rent) and share their more fortunate releatives' free groceries.

Bush tried for amnesty and failed..and when obama trys to shove amnesty down our throats..he will fail
