#1 It would fix 90% of the problem if illegals couldn't get work here. But, neither party has any desire to punish the employers who hire illegals.

AS PJ O'Roarke said, "When buying and selling is controlled by politicians, the first thing bought and sold are politicians.

#2 Ruben's a smarmy little open-borders punk who tries hard to hide it. He was let go at the SD Union Trib and the comments were unanimousl positive about that. If you actually DID go hard at the employers (a good idea), he'd find that "too harsh" or find some other reason to keep la raza safe

#3 We are not on the edge of the cliff. We went over it and are looking at the edge slip away.

It was reported that a memo was written in the government which said to explore ways to implement amnesty through the executive branch rather than legislatively--similar to implementing cap and trade via EPA. It seems like we are getting an executive branch dictatorship aided and abetted by the Democratically-controlled Congress.

#4 Ruben Navarette is an idiot that needs to get the full attention he deserves - none. The man cannot say anything without showing he's so liberal even San Francisco couldn't stand him. I usually don't read what he writes, because it has very little connection to reality. My brother and many of my other family members live in Texas. Latino citizens are fine, but illegals cause all kinds of problems, including being about 70% of those in the drug trade.

#5 Create a guest worker program to protect the immigrants and control their access to the US. Give illegals six months to get across the border or get themselves into the guest worker program. Make it so that guest workers don't bring family and any children of guest workers born here are not citizens. Then control the border so that only illegal crossings occur.

beyond that citizenship is another issue altogether and doesn't not need to be dealt with at this point.

#6 The "cliff" was breached by LBJ's immigation legislation in 1965. "One man, one vote" + demographics will settle the issue once and for all. HAMILTON spins in his grave as he concept of an American REPUBLIC DIES.

#7 "One man, one vote" + demographics will settle the issue once and for all.

The issue is being "settled" throughout Africa as we speak. Deciviliztion has arrived!

#8 I live in Texas, too - and the illegals aren't any more popular there, especially with the horrific drug-gang border violence.
And I would guess that while a lot of Hispanics would have been prepared to be indulgent ... patience may be wearing a little thin. Tejanos have been Americans for a long time, and the 1836 dustup which he refers to so humorously, featured a great many Tejano Federalistas (who favored for Mexico a confederation of fairly independent states and a small federal government) who fought with their Angelo neighbors against the Centralistas (a more authoritarian, powerful and dictatorial style of government) espoused by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Texas was just one of the Mexican states which rebelled when Santa Anna made himself supreme dictator over Mexico - and the only successful one.
At the Alamo - most of the artillery crews were Tejano, and Sam Houston's scouting company on the retreat across Texas was led by Juan Seguin - just about all Tejanos. At the battle of San Jacinto, Houston wanted to keep them safe, fearing that they might be mistaken for the enemy in the heat of battle, but Juan Sequin angrily refused, demanding a place in the battle line. He got it - his men put pieces of cardboard in their hats to mark them. (The Texians/Tejanos didn't have uniforms, of course.)
I don't think dear Ruben knows those little factoids about that little dustup in 1836. Putz.
Centralista - Federalista... round two of that is looking more and more of a possibility.
