11) Is there a crime problem related to illegal immigrants? Absolutely, and in areas where illegals congregate heavily, crimewaves tend to follow. For example, illegals are responsible for much of the serious crime in Los Angeles. Here's Heather Mac Donald on that topic from back in mid-2004:


In Los Angeles, 95% of all outstanding warrants for homicide target illegal aliens, and over 60% of all outstanding felony warrants. Illegal aliens, and immigrants generally, are a major, and unacknowledged, driver of gang crime.

Oh. You're unemployed and that's why you're here all day spreading hatred. But didn't I read that you are retired? Gee, I guess that is unemployment too.

L.A. Emergency Rooms Full of Illegal Immigrants
Friday, March 18, 2005

E-MAIL STORY RESPOND TO EDITOR PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
LOS ANGELES %u2014 This is part three of a five-part series looking at how illegal immigration affects U.S. border security, the criminal, health care and education systems, as well as the economy. Watch the series this week on FOX News Channel.

Overburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support.

Sixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor.

According to the State Association of Hospitals (search), California's public health system is "on the brink of collapse." In Los Angeles County, patients can wait four days for a hospital bed and up to two years for gallbladder surgery.

Again I state the same report it, check out the DOT site and you will find the laws are there, they are the primary group of enforcement followed by OSHA followed by state laws.

This is not an issue of "law on the books". The law "on the books" in colorado says all drivers must have insurance. The illegals belive that's only applicable to us Anglos! There was a "law" passed in 1986 that should cover this issue but all of our prez'a have ignored it. I bet you argue how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. I don't care, just follow the laws and enforce them.

I believe anyone that comes to this country should do it legally, not matter what country it is. However, based on reading what is public knowledge about this immigration bill, it is nothing but political pandering by George Bush. He is counting on this bill passing and guess who the "new citizens" will remember giving them amnesty, even if it is not being called amnesty. The Republicans! There is a major national election next year and currently is looks like there is going to be even more of the good old boys out the door. I personally think the best thing all of us voters could do is unseat every current politician in office in Washington and start all over. However, the two prerequisites would have to be can't be a millionaire and definitely not an attorney.

I know a lot of people from every culture, I swear I like all cultures, I don't have a racist bone in my body, and we all talk about this immigration legislation and not one, not a single person likes it or supports it! So when they say Americans support this legislation, all we can do is wonder who in the hell are they talking about? Where are these supporters, we can't find any and we all can't wait to VOTE!!

from the BLS

The number of persons who worked part time for economic reasons, at 4.5
million, was little changed in May but was up by 332,000 over the year. This
category includes persons who indicated that they would like to work full time
but were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they
were unable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-5.)

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

In May, 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached
to the labor force, about the same as a year earlier. These individuals wanted and
were available to work and had looked for a job sometime during the prior 12 months.
They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the
4 weeks preceding the survey. Among the marginally attached, there were 368,000
discouraged workers in May, about the same as a year earlier. Discouraged workers
were not currently looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were
available for them. The remaining 1.0 million persons marginally attached to the
labor force in May had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for
reasons such as school attendance and family responsibilities. (See table A-13.)

[bellal-2009]

No, even if this bill passes the CBO says it will reduce illegal immigration only 25%, the only real winners will be business that will now be able to bring in up to 1.8 million guest workers a year.

Any Senator that supports this needs to be impeached. No question. I would have never believed our govt. would do this to us.

[radiob-2009]

Ozzy I would have thought that you would have understood the message. Drew Shelt is a fictional creation designed to show that candiates are created no self made.

Their is enough money for everybody. If you can't do the job, let the next guy do it. Get more skills so you wont have to compete with these unskilled workers for their jobs. Pass this bill to fix the problem. St

First of all it is "there" not "their", second of all, if there was enough money for everyone the cheap labor azzholes wouldn't be trying to import slave labor.
