This is a matter that impacts on a federal, state and local level, so all should be involved.

I agree! Actually, IMO, it has to start on the state and local levels. Saying it's a Federal matter is a cop out because Cuellar knows Congress isn't going to do anything about it.

the united states should stop allowing dual citizenships. what's the point of our pledge of allegiance if we allow dual citizenships? hypocritical.

Then how in the heck can they say there were X number of American Citizens killed in Isreal, Mexico, etc to involve the USA.((((THEY JUST FAIL TO MENTION ON PURPOSE MOST OF THEM ALSO HAD CITIZENSHIP IN THAT COUNTRY--and someone dug out the American Pass Port to show the Media--not showing their other PASS PORT citizen ID of Isreal, Mexico, etc))))

Then how could people travel to other countries who are ashame of America without another Passport.

Heck it come to the point there it is getting to where there are MORE HALF A#S American Citizens than plain simple American Citizens. Consider the the number of Catholic Relegious Leaders with Vatican Pass Ports, the number of people with both Isreal and USA Citizenship, the number of Mexicans with Mexican and USA Citizenship.

YOU CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS without loving one and hating the other--neither can you be a Citizen of TWO or more countries without choosing ONE INTEREST and WELL BEING over the other.

The only Americans with Citizenship in another country ---should be people UNDER 21 who by EVENTS not of their CHOOSING were put in a situtation to make the choice when they were under 21.

Within a year of reaching 21 then then should have to make a Choice --AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and denounce ALL OTHER CITIZENSHIP ---FOREVER or become come a Citizen of the OTHER Country and LEAVE the USA.

HALF A#S AMERICAN CITIZENS===A HALF A#S AMERICA/COUNTRY!!!!!!!

Cuellar is an open border mojado politician. He is a disgraceful Tejano. He is a traitor to American and should be deported to Mexico.

War with Rascist Mexico is the answer. They have invaded us and STOLEN TRILLIONS of dollars out of our Economy.

Bringing our troops out of Iraq and putting them on the border with Mexico is THE NECESSARY first step or our Economy could Collapse.

I've yet to hear anyone with a Hispanic last name in D.C. stand up for the U.S. citizens. But I hear them stand up for freedoms their anchestry dictates. This also is true on the state, city and county levels. They all need to go!

To White Americans..we are waking up to the lies that have been purported on the media and forums like these.

Evidence of Obama's 'HATE' for Whites.

A Quotation taken from Obama's book:
'Dreams Of My Father'

"I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.

These are the very words of Barack Hussein Obama..

Get informed..read this..

Quote:

"According to Texas Employers for Immigration Reform, a pro-business and pro-immigrant group, the industries that would be most affected by tougher immigration enforcement are farming, construction and the service industry.

"These laws could be very harmful to Texas businesses," Hammond said. "It's shortsighted and we'll likely end up with a lot of lawsuits being filed."

Comment:

Some one needs to enforce the current Federal laws!

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

"Any person who ... encourages or induces an alien to ... reside ... knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such ... residence is ... in violation of law, shall be punished as provided ... for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs ... fined under title 18 ... imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

I love how you got the topix system to print the #!!!! Also remember this is one Congressman, there are many who need to hear from us! I've tried numerous times on my dime to contact McCain's campaign headquarters and his senate office. His voicemail seems to always be "full." Apparently he doesn't want us to tell him about his upcoming LaRaza appearance?

AMEN, BROTHER!! I have never seen ANY hispanic politician who is concerned about anything other than his or her raza. They are interested in nothing except gaining more benefits for their brethren and they do not care if they destroy the entire country in the process. They are all traitors and need to be stripped of their citizenship and deported to Mexico.

Do you ignorant hillbillies think that all hispanics are mexican? And you wonder why employers would rather hire an illegal immigrant with a 5th grade education than one of you? Go figure.

Mexican illegal immigration happens to be the most predominant...we all know what the poster meant and overall happenes to be correct numbers wise, yes all countries south of the border do indeed enjoy the luxury of crossing our borders and few from other countries, but calling people who use Mexicans as an example hillbilly's with a fifth grade education is rude and uncalled for. If something isnt done, your children, my children and our grandchildren will be left with nothing more than a fifth grade education due to policies and funding to accomadate these illegals.

Valigator, judging from your grammar, spelling and punctuation, 5th grade would be considered higher education in your case.

Mexicans comprise the vast majority of the illegal aliens and they come in swarms. Central Americans cannot sneak in their extended families like the Mexicans do.
