Comments on: Immigration Bill Passes Key Senate Test

Senators Vote To Revive Stalled Measure To Legalize Millions Of Illegal Immigrants

One only has to read the newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area about crime stories and the vast majority are crimes committed by Hispanic males.

They are the drug runners, they are the ones breaking our laws, they are the ones producing false IDs, they are the ones financially breaking our medical institutions.

I'm all for workers coming over to work the farms but must go back when done and most of all must be registered. If they fail, they should be banned forever coming back to the US.

After being around for 2000 years, why is it that the Mexican people still live in a third world environment. They have the highest failure rate in our schools.

Dumb Ronald Regan gave amnesty to 6 million during his presidency, that's enough. Let Mexico and the Mexican's take care of their own.

My cousin's wife is from Brazil and it took her six years to do it right, if she can do so must everyone else.

Mexicans need to start taking some pride in their country and instead of mooching of our the American public to support them. They should be look to their government not ours to have a decent living.

In reading S1639 I notice that workplace enforcement is much less stringent than the 1986 bill. I also notice that the President is no longer responsible for the security of the %u2018employment verification system%u2019. Maybe this is the real reason that the Senate is pushing this piece of garbage legislation that they are trying to shove down the throat of American public. Both Bushes and Clinton have let us down in this regard because there is no %u2018secure employment verification system%u2019.

All that needs to be done in regard to immigration is to enforce the 1986 law.

I know I will do anything also that is legal to help get any of these people here Illegaly fired or not hired ot somehow put out of work and then maybe they will go home. I want my country that I fought for (20+ year vet) back.

[thee0racle]

a YES vote would certainly be a career-limiting move. America does not want your version of "immigration reform".

[candy-apple]

NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!
How many times do we have to say NO AMNESTY!!

[drivelphobe]

If these sleazy politicians go against American interests in this bill, I will personally never frequent another foreign restaurant, never do business with any business I even suspect of hiring illegals, and move out of Los Angeles area to an area that might be safe from these filthy invaders. I have been a taxpayer all my life, and I will begin doing everything I can to legally avoid paying any taxes. My savings will go into non-interest bearing accounts, and I will pay cash for anything I can so I can support an underground economy. If I do any work, it will be for cash only. I will vote against every politician who had a hand in this rape of the American populace. These illegals are going to be sorry if this bill gets passed. The American public will never forget this arrogant, private agenda of the filthy politicians. Wait until one of them is a victim of an illegal drunk driver or the like. They are going to regret this action. Goodbye America, hello Amerexico. The end of a civlilized country. Thank you Bush and Kennedy for ruining America. Let's keep our fingers crossed and keep up the phone calls and emails. It's not over yet. Justice might prevail.

I say just start sending them home.
Start with the worthless illegal MS-13 "gang".

Start here in Northern Virginia with the deporting first.

If Bush would for once stop to realize that his strategy to legalize millions of immigrants that has already committed an illegal crime crossing our borders so now give them amnesty...I don't think so...so what are you really saying that its ok to commit a crime as long as you are Mexican ... so I guess there is no need to punish anyone else for similar crimes...People stop overlooking the fact that these people are over here illegal and they should be sent back to their own country to deal with their own governmental issues...Enough already!

"Particularly worrisome to supporters, including the Bush administration, is a bipartisan amendment by Sens. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Max Baucus, D-Mont., that would change the bill's new program for weeding out illegal employees from U.S. workplaces."

One of these is running for President. I planned to vote Democrat for that office--but if he is the candidate, he will NOT get my vote. Not after supporting illegal immigration and helping businesses undercut the American workers.

This better get shot down or we are done as a nation.

Absolutely unbelievable. No other western nation would shaft its citizenry like this. Washington must just be one huge ho house with pimped out hoes running amok.

Obama and the rest think it's just fine that someone comes into the U.S., takes a job and has no record of citizenship or papers to prove anything. Wow, no system of accounting for illegals and why is it we pay taxes when colonists have more rights priviledges than those who have papers?

We have enough criminal sociopaths, we have enough people with diabetes, mental illness, homelessness etc. Why is it assumed that all Mexicans crossing the border are healthy intact, moral, hard working individuals who have to prove nothing. This country is on crack.

[toldyouso21]

The email I sent to my Senators. Feel free to use this.

Bush and no one else has explained why we cannot secure the borders, STOP there, get the national id cards and then and only then address what to do with all the illegal immigrants. (like deporting any and everyone who has failed to get a national id and who cannot prove their citizenship or residency)

With that in mind: I am voting out anyone who votes for this immigration reform bill or who even votes to move this issue forward.

[fastfredy1]

MY VOICE IS RAISED!!!!!!!

NO ILLEGALS, CLOSE THE BORDER,

[drummer94]

What the heii is a test vote? What part of ILLEGAL ALIEN is so hard to understand? "....raise the level of their voices in the next 24hrs." Ok. NO FRIGGIN AMNESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fastfredy1]

No Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. Come see what a mess they are making of Northern Virginia. Crime, garbage everywhere, gangs, etc... Send them home today!

[l8c6]

What happens with the people who have been working legally with visas in hand who have been working toward citizenship. I'm assuming this isn't just for Mexicans working in the U.S. illegally for Taco Bell.

[l8c6]

The republican politicians want this too. They are playing politics to preserve their manipulated constituency, the masses of working americans who vote for them.

The right and the left politicians want cheap labor to help run their businesses, mow and clean their gated secured estates.

[shannopin]

NO!! No legalizing millions of illegals. We've already one that once before. Instead, fix the borders first, execute the immigration laws that are on the books now. THEN make changes if we have too. Illegal is Illegal. What do people not understand about that word? Everyone go back home and start over again - legally!
