Now that a new president has been elected, the local and national debate over immigration reform appears to be edging toward easing harsh enforcement efforts and possibly legalizing millions of illegal immigrants.

I'm not laughing. It is very possible that there will be an amnesty passed and again it will open the door for millions more to come here illegally and await the next amnesty, just as the last one did. If Americans are not willing to stay on top of this issue and continue to fight against an amnesty, there will be no going back for do overs. Contact your government representatives from the local level to the White house and express your concerns. Write, fax, e-mail, call, etc. The Internet is a wonderful tool, let's use it.

While I think Obama will take a different approach from Bush, I do not believe he will be able to give an amnesty like the La Raza groups were promised...there are many reasons he cannot do that. He is likely to take a different approach, like making it more difficult to get jobs - taking away the lures that draw them here. Hopefully this will cause them to self-deport. Our economy cannot handle them staying.

I wrote to Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) stating my view that the E-Verify (Basic Pilot) Program SHOULD be passed at least for the next 5 years, and should be mandatory statewide, afterall it is free....no response yet....last time I expressed my outrage over illegal immigration to him he e-mailed back saying nothing of the subject but thanking me for my interest in the NAU/SPP - huh? Clearly, he has and is pushing as pro-immigration, in the meantime as we in New Jersey are a democrat-debt laden state of $32 BILLION, many hospitals (6) have closed, unemployment nationwide has risen with more to come, yet the gov here gives money to the newly arrived legals, along with housing, clothing, and more importantly JOBS....why???????? I ask - I do know that it is all politics here in New Jersey - from the law to the jails to the employers of illegals - seems that being illegal gives them immunity??????? It has and is creating resentment, among citizens legal immigrants. But yet, I still thank God I am in the best country in the world. Keep the faith.

Listen, freak boy, illegal aliens are not immigrants. Immigrants did things the right way, they didn't slither over in the dead of the night.

You are not the true Native Americans -- never were and never will be. If you think you are, you are sadly misinformed and ignorant.

No one stole land from anyone. It was won fair and square -- see: Mexican-American War. Then it was paid for - see: Gadsden Purchase & Treaty of Hidalgo. One cannot sell something and still claim ownership to it.

Your comments do nothing for you but prove how stupid you are and, trust me, we have enough homegrown stupid people. We have no need or desire to import more from other countries, much less illegally, so if you are here illegally, pack your bags and head on home...otherwise, you will end up in one of those raids you always hear a out.

Try to read and comprehend. I was responding to the moron who claims we stole land from Mexico and they are now here to take it back.

With American Indians, land was conquered. It is how things were done in those days, and even various tribes conquered each other and took land, women, etc. It is not right today, but that is how it was done then.

None of that changes the fact that we did not take or steal or anything else any land from Mexico or Mexicans, and they do not have any right to take back land won in a war or paid for after they sold it.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan

Create Secure Borders

Obama and Biden want to preserve the integrity of our borders. He supports additional personnel, infrastructure and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
Improve Our Immigration System

Obama and Biden believe we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally

Obama and Biden will remove incentives to enter the country illegally by cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.
Bring People Out of the Shadows

Obama and Biden support a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Work with Mexico

Obama and Biden believe we need to do more to promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.

The *real* history lesson I just gave you is not racist, it is fact. Try to keep up here.

Enforcing our laws and expecting EVERYONE to follow them is also not racist.

Mexican is not a race. Hispanic is not a race.

What part of what I said is racist?

You sound like one of those clueless sheeple who cannot think for himself and thus must be programmed by La Raza as to what to say and when to say it.

You have a "Mexica Movement" lately? Or do you need some laxatives?

Hence the reason i didn't vote for him.They dont fix the root cause of the problem. The immigration system is not broken, its been under funded for so long they cant keep up with the current flow of 1 million new citizens each year.Keep families together ?? Are not the illegals the ones who broke them apart by bringing them over the border knowing full well what might, can happen?undocumented immigrants, no term is illegal alien, and how can they be in good standing when they have already broken our immigration laws.??

Hey Ozzie, you ever have a thought of your own, or do you just like posting things we've all managed to read by now?

Obama cannot, in all good conscience, give amnesty in these hard economic times. If he tries, we will fight it. And he cannot, in all good conscience, keep illegals *and* get Americans back to work.

They "don't have any right to take back land won in a war". Do you mean land that they won or that the U.S. won?
You need to study the Mexican American War. Some would argue that the U.S. did indeed steal land from Mexico.

Ozzie is a cut-n-paste specialist. That puts him right in-line with what obama wants, those who cant think or do for themselves.

I actually could care less what you think Rebel. Never have.

Obama will push amnesty. With or without your permission.

Hispanics wait for Obama's move on immigration?
__________

WAIT A MINUTE! It is not true, I know hundreds of Hispanish people who came to this country LEGALLY, and they are furious that La Raza org. puts everyone in the same boat. Spanish people who came here LEGALLY are totally against given amnesty to law violators. They say that if you have nothing to fear apply for a visa, and come LEGALLY. Many of those ILLEGAL broke the law because they are criminals, and they couldn't get a visa in their countries.

Listen bunch of idiots:
This country is f*ckd up right now, and you can't blame no other than the gov't. Why blame a minority, because they don't have any rights or voice in this country?
how bout the war? MILLIONS of dollars thrown away..! Building the wall/fence at the border, for what? Rebate checks to heat up the economy.. wtf..?
Look around you, No matter what happens, this nation will still be made up by hard working immigrants, legal or illegal, and if you're proud of being an American LEARN your history and you'll see what i mean.
They are not harming you, they don't mess you, then leave them alone. They are paying taxes too, only difference, they don't get anything back like most Americans do.
