Should we execute the punishment of that crime?
Welcome to Liberalism run-amuck...we should change our constitution to edit out the word Republic. We are no longer a republic in the true sense of the word...laws mean nothing in this nation anymore.

DA - did I ever say I was an expert? No, I haven't. I'm not posing as anything. I simply stated that I've worked in immigration and was refuting some of what CP and you have stated. It doesn't make me an expert, it's just personal experience info.
So you can quote a pro-illegal office in Phoenix and believe to be facts but if I or Dan say something we don't know what we're talking about.

Seems like only you and your sources are credible.
I have a church full of people that are willing to pay and have saved the money to pay...but I guess I'm lying since the office in Pheonix says otherwise.

My newspaper is filled with white and black americans that are ALWAYS committing crimes...

I visited our regional jail last week. Of 1400 inmates only 72 were illegals (including more than just spanish, might I add)

then again, it's the american way - blame them for the crime, the terror -

when the terrorist acts were committed by folks LEGALLY in this country OR some whacked out american with his head screwed on wrong.

Just where do YOU live?
You are an awesome person lol.

GREAT POST!

And I would make citizenship much harder than what it is now. For instance, in order to get a citizenship in Mexico you have to be proficient in Spanish (or bribery) -- why should the US be any different?
you have no clue how hard it is to become a citizen.

You're correct.. I don't.. and if it is hard now then the only thing I would add is the necessity to be able to speak English -- not that I have problem with people who speak in foreign languages as much as English is the main language of this nation, and is, in all actuality becoming the accepted global language. It is beneficial to those who don't speak it and to those who do.
