If they are so worried about "dignity", quit slithering under the fence and apply for citizenship as the law dictates! Also, who in the heck said that non-citizens have the right to protest anything in MY country? Where is that law written?

Thank you-MY COUNTRY exactly-who are they to think they have American rights-as I said after 9/11-they need to worry more about the AMerican money being sent to Mexico instead of terriost in Iran.
They could cut the 12 million down a bit-if they would go to all the rallys and round them up and send them home-HOME BEING YOUR OWN COUNTRY
Just like Columbus He did not discover anything-he invaded it

Not to start an arguement, but your comment didn't make much sense. You say send "them" home and then you contradict and say Columbus invaded not discovered. I don't really see what side your taking or point your making here? Yes I will agree he didn't discover anyting, but think of it this what if the Native Americans had ran off the new settlers, there would be no America as we know it. I agree that the immigrants from which ever country (throw a dart) should do it "legally", but America is what it because people have come here for a better life. So this will be harsh, if your not an Indian than you should leave! Now how stupid was that statement. The problem can be solved over time without sending "them" home, crack down on the employers who hire people without the proper ID and such, and slowly the ones who can't find work will eventually have to leave or aplly for citizenship.

I do agree that the employers should be fined, etc., however, that is just part of the problem. Have you heard of the gang MS13? It's (according to law enforcement) the most vicious gang in our country. Guess who comprises it? Hispanics. They work as trademen by day (carpenters, etc.) and do their evil deeds at night. New Orleans is having hell with them right now and the cops are pretty much out of their league in trying to combat them. I heard from some of our LE here in Delaware that they are starting to infiltrate here. God help us in this small slow hick state...Anyway, my point is that perhaps some of them "might" go back home, but there are just as many that will probably try to deal drugs, join gangs...I'm not really sure what the solution is and the bad thing is that I don't think our legislators or government knows either.

I think my "problem" with all of these people (you pick a country) is that many of them seem to be here for what America offers, but yet they are not really AMericans at heart. They still cling to their own country and are just sort of squatting here (albeit legally). I truly dont' ahve a problem with anyone from any country becoming an American citizen if they really want to be an American citizen and not just in name only. That's how I see it anyway.

what if all of the illegals were drafted into the united states army for 4 years as a condition for applying for citizenship?? Let them serve 3 tears of that in iraq, bring our men and women home to the usa, if they demand so much from the usa,why not let them fight for it??

I say send them all back. Men, woman , children. If you are not in this country legally, go back. Hell, i will go as far as to say, NO MORE VISA"S. Get a life in your own country. If you are not allowed one, fight for it. Don't come here. THis is not a personal thing for me. We have enough to worry about in America, thanks to a lot of people. As far as I am concerned anyone who hires an illegal should have to pay dearly. Turn these people in, people. I see a lot of down home country states blogging here. You can start with the farmers.

We are getting overrun here in Delaware with the(*^%%$% Mexicans, Central Americans,etc... heck, it's so bad, we now call it "Mexican Sunday" at Wal-Mart.. that's all you see there. But,I guess you have to have someone to work at all the blasted chicken houses here! I heard or read somewhere that Tennessee was getting a lot of them too.. why? What's drawing them to TN? Just curious.

We have a Walmart over here that we don't shop at mainly because they all shop at that one. I have had to tell a few of them off for looking, talking (in their language), pointing, and gawking at my daughter and she is only 14. It makes me sick.

I am currently in the military but used to work as a law enforcement officer in the state of Tennessee. When training we pulled over an undocumented illegal mexican. We just let him go there was nothing we could do. My training officer said that the state only has 2 recource officers that handle illegals for the whole state! If we caught a big group of illegals the 2 officers might come and deport them. That is sad to think that one state has two officials that handle illegals. That goes to show how little our government cares about illegals being in this country.

what draws them to tn..well every body here owns a few mexicans..hell our governor loves them so much..he gives driver license to them..and even to the ones that dont live here..wages have fallen ...all the factories and construction jobs and rock quarrys use them.. remember a american requires workmans comp insurance..and you got to match his social security...and if he gets hurt he can sue you...with [my mexican] you save more on taxs,,than his wages..and if you dont work them governor bredesen will..as far as the blogger who stated that they look at your 14 year old daughter...well in mexico they would not have to just look...how many women in mexico that age without a baby...and how many hundreds of mexicans in towns all across america...are raping kids and fleeing,,it is a common every small town is facing at least one case...

I can tell you exactly why they (illegal Mexicans)come to Tennessee.Why wouldnt they?They get better paying jobs than we do,not to mention the free health care.Yes folks i said free,because if they go to the hospital and cant afford to pay the bill......there wages cannot be garnished and never have i heard of one single instance of a illegal being sued for it.Furthermore we have a free health clinic held here in my city once a year but it isnt for the poor whites or poor blacks,it is only for the hispanics.God forbid writing the local paper about the illegal problem because the next day there will be a rebuttal from some stupid bleedheart.The American people must make a stand now because in Morristown alone(and we are a samll town)they number in the thousands.Thanks for hearing my views on this subject and Bill add my name to your letter to our"leader"

I got a story for you that just makes my blood boil everytime I think of it.. my daughter and grandkids live in the Mojave Desert (another story I'll tell you about some day) They are 45 minutes from any town and of course, all you see is (*&^%%%^%^T Mexicans out there anyway. My daughter HAS health insurance. She took the granddaughter to a clinic the other day. A debacle ensued. The bottom line is that they let her sit there for 2 hours before telling her that because she had insurance, she couldn't see the doctor until after 5:00 and get it paid. My daughter came back at 5:00 p.m. and more of the same ensued. All the mexicans and blacks were getting seen because they were uninsured and my daughter couldn't even get the baby in to see a doctor! I haven't quite figured out the logic of this- the baby was NOT seen and my daughter ended up cussing out the fat Mexican harridan and leaving. But, if you are a Mexican, you can see the doctor there. What's wrong with this picture? Is this Mexico or the USA? My daughter needs out of that hell hole so badly...
