laws are laws, our government passes thousands each year, they are susposed to be enforced by our government officials be it federal, state, etc. To only enforce the laws Napolitano likes should place her in a position of being arrested for not upholding the laws of the land. If all of us only followed the laws we like, it would be quite a different world, I would be a billionaire who didn’t pay taxes and look out if I took offence to your word.

This Secretary of Homeland Napolitano is taking this country back instead of forward. She is giving a free ticket to illegals and encouraging more illegal immigration into the US. Yes we do need to keep up with raids, deport the illegals and file criminal charges against employers to do employee illegals. She just finished giving 20-30 green cards to illegals that were caught in a raid in Washington State. They were rounded up the ICE and ready to deport them when she had them set free and gave them green cards. Now she wants to do away with the REAL ID that is in effect so illegals will not have to hide…. Where did this woman get an education and how was she approved to this position??? I feel she is giving a “Welcome” sign to all illegals and encouraging more to come.

#14 lee:
“Deporting every single illegal immigrant in the country is (logsitically?) impossible.”

Nonsense.

Purely as an observation of a logistical exercise for purposes of comparison, the Third Reich deported and murdered 6 million Jews and significant populations of Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other victims which it deemed political enemies, all while fighting a World War on at least 3 different theaters of operations.

And the Nazis only had protp-computer Hollerith punch-card tabulators to assist their effort.
(Read “IBM and the Holocaust” to see how they used these).

It’s quite do-able…all it needs is the will to enforce the laws.

The Obama administration will no longer deport illegals. It will turn them over to ACORN.

Proposal:

No raid necessary.

1. Go to a business HR Dept, analyze data for illegals, identify illegals.

2. Fine business owner according to law.

3. Analyze criminal records of illegals.

4. Deport illegals with bad criminal records.

5. Do not deport clean illegals, put them in queue for green card.

End of story.

Deporting every single illegal immigrant in the country is (logsitically?) impossible. I know Latinos and certain “La Raza” groups dominate the immigration debate, but remember – Many Asians FLEW in here legally, then overstayed tourist of student visas.

A libertarian approach is the best option – cut the red tape and regulations that encourage Latinos to cross illegally. If they want to ditch their miserable country and come over here for a better life, I say we facilitate their efforts. If you haven’t raped babies or something or slept with Al Qaeda members, make it easy for them to come in.

I feel chest thumping immigration activists who smear the right on immigration (who actually embrace legal immigrants) may hardened some conservatives. Don’t be fooled – many reasonable illegals will accept the sovereingty of this country and accept some kind of compromise.

It took me 30 years to put myself into a position where I qualified for a resident category visa and then a green card. But as a former Canadian living within 50 miles of the border I crossed as a tourist frequently and always returned to Canada because I repected America’s laws. I could easily have disappeared into the illegal milieau any time from the 1970’s.

My opinion? Deport every single illegal currently resident in the USA without hesitation. These people make clowns out of legal immigrants like me who followed the rules. And they make a mockery of the USA as a country run according to law.

What a liar. Once the Bush Administration started enforcing the law after the failure of amnesty, they also indicted dozens of executives and managers at the companies that were raided for immigration violations. The Clinton Regime police was minor raids and no fines on employers. The Bush I policy was raids and large fines. Dishonesty does not become you Ruben.

#9 Nadaem Ahmad:
“Why punish hard working workers”

Because they are stealing the jobs of other hard working family people who are here legally.
Additionally, someone who works for less money to do the same job depresses wages for everyone else.

You’re not very bright, are you Ahmad? Simple economics here…not rocket science.

“if anyone is to be punished, its the greedy American bosses who hire this labor.”

I have no problem with that.
If you want to attack an undesirable economic system, you have to go after BOTH sides of the transaction, the guy who buys the product or service,(in this case, labor), and the guy who sells it.

“I say if you have benefitted from the labor of an illegal, you need to STFU.”

Too broad a brush…if you have knowingly hired an illegal, you need STFU AND PTFU, (Pay The F Up!).
If you are an ilegal, you need the STFU and GTFO,(Get The F Out).

BTW, Ahmad,your PAPERS, please….

Nadaem Ahmad:

“penalizing hard working people who would otherwise turn to crime to feed their families”

If their turn to crime takes place in Mexico where they belong, who cares?

“fatcat American lazy hogs both male and the female species who benefit from the labor of these poor people silently enjoy the benefits of this quasi-slavery ”

My, you sure hate the country you’ve chosen to live in, don’t you? You’re always free to find another one, you know.

This particular “fatcat American lazy hog” has never benefitted from the labor of an illegal- but they sure as hell have benefitted from mine!

I say NO taxpayer benefits for illegals, period.
