The real problem with illegal immagration is not with the people (who are looking for a better life) but with the employers who go after illegal immagrants for work. Please spare the "they are the only ones who will work for that" True statement if you are paying low wages in the first place. Go after the employers who contribute to the problem and then streamline the process of requesting immaration status.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/23/201107.aspx#201425Wed, 23 May 2007 18:52:57 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201425Amy B Portland, MeI want to tell the Republicans I've @#$% had it with their contempt for our system of government.

People if you want have a voice in this illegal alien thing, you MUST contact your senators and congressmen immediately. If you don't want amnesty - simply tell the clerk who answers the phone that if they vote for this amnesty you are voting them out. Phone calls are more effective than emails or faxes - but we need to be doing BOTH. This is our last best chance to stand up for America. Better no bill at all than one that gives amnesty to these millions - it will only bring in more. We all KNOW the border is not secure, the ports are not secure - why on earth would we want to give all these people who have no respect for our laws, our culture and our flag another reward by all of sudden making them 'legal'. That, my friends means they get EVERY benefit of America's law abiding citizens who have seen our wages continually stay depressed because the business owners can hire this cheap labor. We need to let our government know that WE EXPECT the LAW we now HAVE to be ENFORCED - not find another way around it for illegals. Google numbers usa and you can see how to contact your reps free and let them know where you stand.Enforcement means they will gradually self deport when the jobs dry up for them if they are not legal and if the people hiring them face huge fines and/or prison time. Tell them no to amnesty and to trash the bill if they are going to make all of them legal and just get the borders secure and enforce the LAW. Boehner is Bush's lap dog and whatever Bush wants (legalization, 600,000 guest worker visas to let MORE of them in - to help his good buddies wanting cheap labor at the expense of our CITIZENS and LEGAL immigrants) Boehner is going to support. He has to be sure he can report to the "decider" that they will be legalized, etc. and the border fence will be more lies - How many miles build in CA to date? I beleive I read only 2 in one really bad area. We need secure borders and TRAINED border agents BEFORE they do anything with the ones that are here other than begin enforcing the law instead of coddling the illegals, their employers and the gov. of Mexico. So, in truth, B spoke truth. As it is - that bill IS a piece of *&^%$.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/23/201107.aspx#201437Wed, 23 May 2007 18:55:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201437Richard Miller, Fredonia, Ks.Just what have the Republican's done in the last seven years that wouldn't be discribe as a piece of @#$%?http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/23/201107.aspx#201461Wed, 23 May 2007 19:03:07 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201461F StLouisyea, and Bush and Cheney going down as the mother#&*% worst administration EVER!!http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/23/201107.aspx#201463Wed, 23 May 2007 19:03:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201463The Edge, Macon, GAThat's your party of family values hard at work spreading the Truth....http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/23/201107.aspx#201488Wed, 23 May 2007 19:18:24 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201488Dave, TnAre all Republicans religious?

I would just like to know exactly where our gov't stands on the immigration issue because it seems to me that one week there is a wall being built and the next week our president is trying to turn our ports over to foreigners AND THEN the next week there is a bill giving immigrants citizenship. WHA?? I am a very liberal person, but this is one issue I generally agree with republicans on. If you want to live in our country, you do it legally, you pay taxes, and you learn OUR language!!
