#7 Fair enough...as I remember, Reagan was the last one to sign a major amnesty bill. Not one of his better moments either.

#8 I got the same e-mail the reporter did, but mine came about two years ago. Check out Snopes to decide if this is valid reporting. Many of the statistics are from an April 2005 testimony of Heather Mac Donald, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims where she testified on the negative effect of sanctuary laws.

#9 Why Blame Bush?

He's had 6 years and same party control of the congress until now and enoughmotivaiton (war on terror). Yet he did NOTHING at all about securing the border permananetly.

And as for Reagan - the amnesty was supposed to be accompanied by locking down the border - it was part of the same deal. But they never funded it.

Clinton also get blame, but thats beating a dead horse.

Why worry about the Hispanic label? "Fifty-five percent of Mexican Americans consider themselves to be Mexican first." Thats why. Aside from that, you aren't addressing the main gist of the article and the numbers it brings up, i.e. you are attempting to nit pick, call racism and avoid the main theme (thanks for admitting you've lost before you begin)

#10 I basically blame our entire government and all the presidents from Truman on.

No blood for Pesos!

#11 Here's some more Fred Thompson for you from today's Paul Harvey:

Hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality. A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. And criticizing the U.S. for alternately doing too much and too little to stop your illegal activities is not going to set too well with Americans of good will who are trying to figure a way out of the mess that your and our open borders policy has already created.

My friends, it’s also time for a little introspection. Since we all agree that improving Mexico’s economy will help with the illegal-immigration problem, you might want to consider your own left-of -center policies. For example, nationalized industries are not known for enhancing economic growth. Just a thought. But here’s something even more to the point that you might want to think about: What does it say about the leadership of a country when that country’s economy and politics are dependent upon the exportation of its own citizens?

(just saw this as a new blogpost while I was checkign a link there)

#12 You forget to mention that by illegal alien you mean anyone of hispanic origin.

First of all, Uneamble Fillmore6406 dear, Hispanic is capitalized, just like American. Second, there is a big difference between Hispanics, Cubans, Puerto Ricans and even Spaniards (you did mean to refer to Spanish speakers, did you not?) who are in this country illegally, and those who are here legally. After all, except for the last three points, the article makes the point that it's about illegal aliens. Or did you mean to imply that all Spanish speakers in this country are naturally criminal?

#13 TW,
A quibble: Puerto Ricans can not be in this country illegally since they are American citizens. ;-)

#14 Frozen Al, we'd be a hell of a lot better off without the cesspool of the Caribbean, PR, attached to US coattails. We need to dump that POS NOW. They showed how loyal they were over Vieques. We should summarily throw their butts out. If anyone wants to tell me that PR soldiers have died for America, my response is that the HUGE sums of welfare money we've sent those lazy bastards has long since paid back any debt we owe them for that. They're leeches and the sooner they're gone the better.

#16 Thank you, Frozen Al. That makes dear Uneamble Fillmore6406 even more wrong, I fear.

Why are you asking me that? Ask OldSpook. Oh, and, why do you think those last three points were included in an article about illegal aliens, hmmm, dear?
