The aliens around us

We got them here, do you have them there? Look at the person next door. Is he/she from the U.S. legally? If there is a question call the INS. Be American.

I see no one cares. But you will when your social security is cut and money you earned, is given to the aliens free of anything. No work no pay taxes, just collect free rent...

Still no-one cares... wake-up look around... you can bet they are there reaping the benifits that they don't deserve and won't fight for... let them take over and you will regret it too late...

All this time and no one can do anything about the illegal aliens in our midst. Why don't you just give them your bank accounts and credit cards. They are working at cash jobs, laugh at real Americans and spit on our language and legal system. WAKE UP, do your country a favor, TURN THEM IN...

I think we have much worse problems than illegal aliens to deal with - how about all the corruption? Besides Lenoir City keeps the illegal aliens broke if they so much as sneeze. Ever notice how many are arrested and what kind of bond they have to pay?
I'm much more worried about being taxed to death in the here and now by county officials than I am about thinking about the Mexicans draining social security. I'd rather blame that on this crazy president. I will agree with you that officials should be doing someting about the situation, but if you send home the mexicans Mayor Matt looses his spending money.

Ever notice why the "illegals" are being arrested? Probably because they broke the law. Not that it matters to them. I noticed that the News-Herald prints the jail docket. If this town is 25% hispanic then the arrest report looks about right. It sure is a lot quieter after eleven isn't it.

I think slurner is a mexican. Ever heard of spell check? Brush up on that English, amigo.

Obama has now stated that the American citizens are terrorizing illegal immigrants. Amazing.

I think Obama is terrorizing Americans.

Oh yeah.
She left out the "h" in "someting".
That's definately a Hispanic trait.

Pointing out people's typos is not worth the bandwidth usage. It doesn't bring "clarity" to anything.

One reason there are now so many Mexicans (many illegal, no doubt) in Loudon County is that there is a business in Loudon (city) that pays to bring them here. The company recruits them elsewhere. Apparently they will work so cheaply that it is cost-effective to:
1. Pay their bus fare to Knoxville;
2. Pay their taxi fare from Knoxville (the Greyhound station) to Loudon;
3. Pay for their temporary lodging when they arrive.

If you are ever standing around the Lenoir City interstate exit (exit 81) and you see a Knoxville taxicab (usually a van) traveling south on I-75 loaded with Hispanic passengers, that is the activity I am talking about.

That taxi was sitting at the Greyhound station on E. Magnolia Street in Knoxville when they got in and asked to be taken to Loudon. The van gets off at exit #72, and takes them to a motel. They have money to pay the fare (at least $80), and always need the driver to write them a receipt.

Any doubters can go to the Greyhound station and ask the taxidrivers about this. If the driver has been doing that work any length of time, he will know this is how the Hispanic population in Loudon County has risen so much. A lot of them have made good money bringing them to us, and they love getting that particular fare.

If I was positive which company it is doing it, I would post it (but I think I know.)

You are an idiot. If you live in town or your kids go to city schools then you will know this is a really big problem. My dad is a brick and block mason and he has to go to Monroe County just to get a decent paycheck because all the Mexicans will work for nothing. Their work looks like crap and they leave a big mess for the other subcontractors to work around. They can't even lay em straight cuz they either don't know how or they are drunk and don't care. The contractor doesn't care cuz they are gonna sell the house to someone else anyway.

I also hate the way they look women and girls up and down like they are peices of meat. The men in this county need to put a stop to that but I guess they are scared. If we don't stop them soon its gonna be too late. This 22 yr old boy that grew up in my neighborhood was gonna buy his old house til a group of 10 Mexicans with cash bought it out from under him. We need to let them know that they are not welcome here!

Just for clarification:
It's about legality, not ethnicity.
If they're illegals, they are not welcome.
If they are citizens or legal immigrants, they are perfectly welcome and free to set up home wherever they please and are able to do so.

The thing people don't understand (I included) is that they will get arrested, be identified as illegals, then post bond and be back on the streets. You cannot get INS to say: "Hold them. We're coming to get them."

States, counties and cities cannot enforce federal immigration laws if the federal agency that's supposed to do so won't.
This is NOT the fault of your local police chief or sheriff.

I agree, but most are not legal and we need to quit giving them jobs.

INS was called last year in regards to the illegals working for a company in Loudon. Still no word when they will be coming......Last we heard.....it would be a month due to a case in Chattanooga. That case broke last year. We are still waiting for INS to appear at this Loudon plant. Waiting.....Waiting.....Waitin g......

This is a simple problem to solve, and a glaring example of the acute lack of political will to do the right thing which paralyzes our country.

Illegals come to America looking for jobs and a better life. Under different circumstances, I might do the same thing myself. There is no crueler reality in the human experience than for a parent to witness their children experience want with no means to give them a better life.

Still, there are limits to what the United States can offer all the throngs of humanity seeking better lives on our shores. Our first duty must always be to the security and prosperity of our citizens. We must set reasonable limits on immigration and we are entitled to have those limits respected.

It is the underworld, cash-only, under-the-table job market that acts as "bait" for illegal immigration. To reduce illegal immigration, we must eliminate that bait.

Right now our laws focus on the illegals themselves and while their behavior is certainly criminal, it is arguable whether it can be expected that human beings won't face any risk in search of a better life. Clearly, focusing on the illegals isn't working.

How do we fix it? Easy. Strengthen our laws to provide vastly stiffer sentences for those guilty of baiting in illegals.

To fix this, we have to say: if you are paying someone to perform any service for you - whether as an employee, a day-laborer, or any other casual labor relationship, and they are here in the United States illegally, you get to go to jail for 10 years without the possibility of parole. You also face a criminal penalty of fines up to $10,000 / day for every day that you worked an illegal alien (we'll be happy to take your property if you are short on cash).

Let about 20 or 30 of the cheap sleazy bastards who employ illegals go to jail and lose everthing they own in the world, and the message will be clear: we're not going to tolerate this anymore.

Need a face to put on the illegal immigration problem? Need someone to hate or be angry at? There you are - the people who bait them here.

Don't hate the immigrants for doing the very things you might do yourself if not for the gracious blessing of having been born an American.

Sounds good to me! What can we do to get it done?

Call and write your congressman - in your case, that would be John J. Duncan. His website is here: http://www.house.gov/duncan/ If he won't do the right thing, then work to replace him with someone who will. Don't get frustrated and know going in that its a long road and don't give up.

You can also work to educate friends and neighbors about the failed policies we have now and your ideas for a better solution.

This doesn't get any better until you decide that it must. Do something!

Duncan had been informed about this company hiring illegals by many in the county. Nothing has changed. We are still waiting.......
