–Thomas Jefferson

All of you that are againts illigals are idiots because 95% of white people don’t like to work as a man under the sun, and this people that you call illigals or wet back build their houses, work on the field to get your groseries to your store and give the paycheck to arpaio or wherever is his name.

Bermudez recently said that people are coming into the USA without documents “because this country does not have a legal mechanism to seek work with documents.”

That would be news to the millions of people who have legally emigrated to the USA! Idiot.

As for the LA lawyer who thinks controlling immigration “is the federal government’s job” — the feds have a thing called the Drug Enforcement Agency, too. Does that mean that local authorities should never do any enforcement of drug laws? Idiot.

How about a third political party that holds the Democrats and Republicans accountable? Force the issue of illegal immigration, arming the border with National Guard soldiers and building a physical barrier to prevent more illegal crossings. Continue the crackdown on illegal immigrants commiting indentity theft crimes, crackdown on employers who hire illegal immigrants and charge fines of $100,000 or more per illegal immigrant employed, etc. The Arizona Sheriff is a case in point that cracking down on lawbreakers causes them to leave and find another place to live. If the US as a whole cracks down, the only place left for them will be Canada or Mexico.

A post script for Erika: If there were a robbery committed and witnesses say they saw 4 “green” guys (don’t want to use any particular race) who would the cops be looking for? “Purple” guys? NO! Remember, Erika, there is a multitude of races here, and well, gee, I wonder why they aren’t targeted? Perhaps it’s bc they’re law abiding citizens. How about the Chinese who come here illegally via shipping containers? They’re laying low as not to get caught so they CAN try to live the better life they came here for; not waving giant Chinese flags and speaking Chinese in marches demanding their “rights”. So, if you pick up a newspaper, watch the news, etc, who’s committing the crimes? Let’s see, “Teens get shot at party”, “Drophouses…” “Woman dragged to her death by illegal..”, “so and so gets caught using fake social security #”(btw isn’t that identity theft???)are committed by these Mexican nationals. Sure, there are crimes committed by other races, but who seems to be committing the majority? Remember, Mexican is NOT a race!

To Erika Rodriguez: You may be successful in college and you seem articulate, however, SPARE ME! Mexicans aren’t the only ppl in the world looking to better themselves, and the others that do, follow the law of the land, LEARN ENGLISH without Prop 300, myself included; and your Mexican immigration advocates, i.e. Bermudez, should be funding the English language teaching. Why would Mexicans want to learn English when their children learn it and then translate, or everyone is catering to them by having Spanish spoken at the business. How about the businesses that have no English signs in sight? Seems like discrimination against the non Spanish speakers to me. Don’t they want my business? STEALING of their land? Lady, we fought a war and won it, and also paid $15 million dollars which were once a part of Mexico; and if you want to say, “it used to be Mexico” well, before it was Mexico, it belonged to SPAIN. Also, do you try to live in the previous house you owned bc you used to own it? So, if you want to go that route, if the land is given back to Mexico then by all means give it back to Spain. I mean, that IS who it USED to belong to didn’t it?? You don’t hear the British, French or Russians lamenting the sales of their former lands here; the 13 original colonies, Louisiana Purchase, and Alaska respectively. Yes we took the land of the Native Americans and it was wrong in how it was taken; but no less wrong than what the Spanish Conquistadores did out west and in South America. Which, if you didn’t know, is how your race, the Mestizo, was created. MEXICAN is NOT a race, just as AMERICAN isn’t a race. It’s a NATIONALITY! RACISM? Mexican laws not any better, i.e. no illegal alien hiring, armed southern border–what’s the matter, don’t want the Hondurans, Guatemalans, etc to compete? Restricted land ownership to non citizens, proficiency in Spanish required to get citizenship, etc. Don’t be a hypocrite and see what’s really going on…Illegals inundating the jails, human smuggling by YOUR OWN PPL, schools and hospitals being burdened by illegals wanting a handout. Who’s paying for this? I will give the 1500 or so Mexicans who line up outside the consulate in Mexico City to come to the US, credit for trying to do it the right way; not just buck the system, cut in line and think we owe them. What’s worse is these ppl have the nerve to say they’re exploited and under appreciated. They exploit themselves by working for low wages instead of competitve living wage bc they want to undercut the next guy to get work and who’s going to appreciate social burdens? Are you? Why don’t you petition the Mexican government to stop corruption and sponging off of America ($20 billion + sent annually to Mexico from the illegals here). Last but not least, what part of ILLEGAL do you NOT understand?
