Way to go Bill! Time to take the things wimps only whisper about to the streets. Fact - Monterey county is as f*cked as it is because it's overrun with illegal cockroaches who take every freebie, every shortcut and every opportunity and encroach on our towns until they become mini third-worlds. Those who talk about "white flight" like it's such a horrible racist thing have obviously never seen their rural havens turn into a circus of gangsters in low rider cars, field workers in fifty thousand dollar trucks crusing up and down one residential street for half an hour playing their circus music with the volume to 10, fat little brown messes with 10 kids not making the slightest effort to shut the little anchor babies the f*ck up in public places...I can't even continue. NONE of the extras these Mexicans demand are given to other immigrant groups, yet all the crybaby activists are pushing for more more more because "giving your life to pick the crops the 'whites' won't" is some ultra noble thing. Listen. There was agriculture, food on the tables, farming, long before Paco started flooding our country. Family farms. AMERICAN farming traditions. Such things are old fashioned now, better to destroy the soil with chemical-choked monoculture crops and give the activist groups something to whine about when Jose messes up his back. No one asked you to come here! You came on your own, and NOT THE LEGAL WAY so why do you deserve sympathy and extras. You want the American dream, do it like all the legal immigrants do it. Oh wait...is that a Mexican flag I see flying over your drug den with 10 families living in secret? Or maybe it's the name of your home state in Mexico plastered on the back of your fifty thousand dollar drug vehicle. I guess America is no more than a convenient way to keep giving your loser family in the third world freebies. Piss off.

I bet nearly every one of these wingnuts exceeds the speed limits and fails to completely stop when turning right on red in their motor vehicles, therefore making them ILLEGAL drivers. By their logic they should lose their driving privileges, and even their vehicles, since this behavior is actually far more dangerous and detrimental than seeking a decent living for one's family, with the complete complicity of the US employers, and failing to obtain permission to do so.

they are not illegal "immigrants", they are illegal aliens. Whatever your feelings about humanity. Intentionally breaking the law should be punished. Is the system flawed? Probably, after all it is written by politicians who feel the need to get re-elected. They may pay taxes, however, their cost is higher to us, use of free services, children, education all factor's. Instead of throwing insults, let's get real on this issue and deal with it, without the politics.

Well, the problem with relying on immigrants to prop up the social security system is that they are so often exploited, and paid so low, that the fraction withheld for social security and medicare taxes is a small sum. This is the fault of the employer. Moreover, people being paid minimum wage aren't able to save much for their own retirement. The only real solution for this is a coordinated effort to put their foot down and refuse to be exploited. They need to join or form unions, and demand some dignity. If agriculture and the hotel industry can only operate under slave wages, then clearly food and hotel rooms are priced wrong (or there is lots of profit that could be redirected to wages, if there were a strike). Once they are paid more, then their taxes might prop up social security

While people like "Stan", "something has to change", "Freedom", and "Rebel" are squawking about Mexicans, the Russians are rolling in unprecedented numbers and setting up their own gang activities. They arrive illegally and unchallenged. Guess that's okay because they are not brown.

To answer your question, NO, it's not ok:) you have to look at the % in our area, how many illegal russians do you see in Monterey county? How many russians do you see protesting in the streets waving their russian flag? repeat, coming to the US illegaly is just not ok! regardless of origin, since Cali is over run with illegals from south of the border, that is who is being addressed here other states might have different illegal entry issues a lot of people confuse the issue of illegal and legal entry and draw attention to color OR race when running out of debate material. The debate is NOT against every Mexican in this area, plenty of good people amongst Mexicans (just like any other country) that are productive good citizans It's the illegals that Cali can not keep supporting 12 billion a year spent on illegals, I can see that money supporting our elderly, our troops coming home injured needing support, our schools etc. can you see the difference it would make?

John I don't post here often anymore but I have to agree with you on the anti latino sediment. However I really wish that some of these super liberal groups would address the issue of human trafficking wherein over 14,000 women and children are trafficked into the united states to be used as sex slaves.but whenever I bring this up I'm called racist. Or that some would quit saying I'm racist if I like Bluegrass and the mountains etc it goes both ways.

U.S. citizens can be held accountable for motor vehicle infractions.A very poor analogy.

Won't be much longer now. The assholes in Sacramento just bumped up an extra 10% on state income tax. Said we'de get it back at the end of each year. Most everyone you meet is ready to leave California. You are right it was great here, not much left now.3rd world illegals are the new citizens here and all over the South West.

FACT #1. There isn't going to be any amnesty lol. How in the hell do you think Obama or any other President can seriously bring up amnesty with those Senate elections next year? Obama and pelosi are already dreading those elections because it will be liberals who take the hardest hit!! FACT #2. Even if Obama DID try something as stupid as push an amnesty with un-employment well above 10% and this close to the mid-term elections...it WILL be rejected. Fact #3. Republicans are absolutely set to take back enough Senate and House Seats in next years election to be able to filibuster or block ANY/ALL further attempts at amnesty. Amnesty is dead ok. Not gonna happen lol.

The very second they do something as stupid as try and tell an employer what they are NOT going to do then guess what happens? That employer is going to kick their illegal ass right on the curb with yesterdays trash lol. And don't think for one second that will not be the case. Whats the illegal alien going to do then,go tell lol?? Illegals are exploited and abused for a reason. Because they CAN be. That's the price they pay when they come here in search of jobs that they have NO LEGAL RIGHT TO HAVE IN THE FIRST DAMNED PLACE!! I got an idea,why don't ya write these "sad loe illegal aliens" story down like a screen play and sell it to the Hallmark Channel.,Ya know ...to somebody who might actually give half a shit about those people and their god-d#mned "hard-luck" stories!!!

We did NOT make that god-d#mned mess out in ole Mexico and I along with most Americans do NOT feel it is OUR place to recieve people who are NOT even acceptable tby 3rd world standards in most cases. That's all OUR country needs is another influx of un-educated,no marketable skill having,resentful,defiant,non-a ssimilating 3rd world re jects who come here in OUR country with a god-damned sense of "entitlement" of all things. Why not do a little real quick and easy research into that place and be sure you look up the term "Oligarchy". Mexico has a two teired social structure that is made up of a small elite society vs. those with nothing. This is NOT America's problem to solve. Allowing those people to keep flooding OUR society takes away ANY incentive for those people to take control of their OWN country. This is NOT about them being brown,this IS however about a group of FOREIGN NATIONALS showing up in OUR society to just "stake a claim" as if they have that right,the LAW says they do NOT!! THAT...IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!!!

I wonder how much of this issue is the fault of the American employers who hire these people.You slap a huge fine,or even jail time, on any one hiring any body illegally in this country,that would stop them from hiring,or at least slow it down to the point where there would be no jobs availlable.

Only 54 percent for reform in a state that is more than 54 percent hispanic. That's got tyo tell you something. Also, the headline is very misleading. It say that he is against immigration. When in fact he is against illegal immigration. As is 80+ per cent of ther American citizenry. Storirs like this that6 ment to mislead and spread lies should not be allowed to be published.
