Bravo!

There is a lot more that needs to be done.

Our economy can't support all of the illegal immigrants let alone give them cut-rate tuition to be able to start taking more skilled jobs.

The out-sourcing of our jobs,anchor babies,when is this going to to get someone's attention?

The American work force has been sold out. The only time politicians pretend to listen is when they need our vote to go back to Washington,D.C or the local government agencies.

Once in office even for one six year term a U.S. senator gets a very handsome pension and health care for life if I'm not mistaken.

What are the politicians doing other than running for re-election and taking extended breaks when not in session?

Even when they are in session,truly important matters are seldom decided upon.

Everyone should write their Senator and Congressional Representative and let them know what is on your mind.

What if one of those students has the capacity to become a Nobel prize winner in science? Education is a public good. We all win when a young person is educated.

You are so funny!! Let the person who is ILLEGALLY in this country go the heck back to wherever they came from and win the Nobel prize there. They are breaking this country. And besides, name one of them who has their sights set on the Nobel when America is their prize.

Its the "illegal" immigrant disease that so many seem to overlook that is the problem, not LEGAL immigration.

John Kuhlman, if you are intelligent enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize, you are intelligent enough to come to this country LEGALLY. However, Al Gore won it so one has to wonder how much intelligence comes into play.

It's the ANTI "ILLEGAL" ALIEN phenomenon and has nothing to do with 'legal immigration'. Get your facts straight.

The USA is becoming a cesspool of illegal aliens who have NOTHING to offer the USA. Like river rats in a big pond.

Of course we all win when a young person is educated. So let us put some effort in the children of US citizens and take those billions of dollars squandered on criminal migrants, their translators, free services, and legal immunity they enjoy and apply it OUR citizenry.

We need to protect American jobs and keep the the number of illegals down. If they continue to get rights and benifets from our government it is going to be the death of this country.

I do not think very many people have a problem with legal immigration afterall it is how this country was built, the illegals need to go back to wherever they came from and stop clogging up our syatems so that we do not have to support them.

Similar events elsewhere have culminated in activities described as "Ethnic Cleansing." So it would be humanitarian to deport a potential winner of the Nobel Peace Prize before they get hurt. To suggest they stay in the path of injury is just wrong and shows how callus and unsympathetic people can be. There's a lot of alternatives to ethnic cleansing - I suggest we try them all - as a service to our honored illegal immigrant community.

"Anchor babies" are very often delivered while their illegal mothers are on "Medicaid". Please, someone explain to me how this happens. And no need to tell me it doesnt, because it certainly does.

If you dont believe me, go sit at an OB office for a few hours and just observe. Most of the Hispanic women coming in either cant speak English or they bring an "interpretor" with them or the physician's have one available for them.

Legal immigration killed the software industry. It's called H1B. I don't want to get into it, just wanted to suggest that people don't know "poop" about immigration, but still feel compelled to opine about it.

Illegal immigration's a thing of interest mostly for people who don't do anything about it. Other's, who lie down and get trampled by it, shouldn't be discussing what the country stands for.

The immmigration issue will go away the day it is taken seriously. I don't see that coming until the cleansing starts.

They take thier children with them,just like any caring parent would. The child can come back when 18.

The anchor baby law is the reason we are having this invasion now,many anchors are in thier 50's like Bill Richardson.

Many have not "become USA citizens",they have become insurgents for this present invasion.
