ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

There's about as much chance of that as there is that you'll sprout wings and fly!! Besides most of you anti-immigrant types wouldn't last an hour in the fields!! LOL!

Good for a chuckle though.

Drummer - that's the other big LIE.
Americans have to maintain TWO jobs to support mexican workers. They get the best of both -
UNION wages - wives that don't have to work - the luxury of someone else supporting MANY children. We have virtually NO time between the jobs, the cost of paying OURSELVES for child care AND we don't get free wic,health,dental,housing,education etc...
We don't have the right to PROTEST-demand and whine about our own "tired and hungry".
SICK - anyone who supports this supports the demise of middle class america and apparently others paying their way in life.

The coalition maintains tomato pickers are generally paid about 45 cents per 32-pound bucket. The extra penny a pound would boost their pay to about 77 cents a bucket. The Tomato Exchange puts the number closer to 50 cents per bucket, with average hourly wages at $12.48 per hour.




Coalition leader Lucas Benitez said growers around the world have signed on to fair trade production, whereby customers pay more for produce or coffee and called the Florida agriculture industry "out of step."

"A true farmer would be glad to see his workers earn more money, especially when he is not paying for it," Benitez said.

A California study, "California%u2019s Undocumented Latino Immigrants: A Report on Access to Health Care Services", page 38, [32] found about 90% of illegal immigrants in California do not have non-government medical insurance.
An article by medical lawyer Madeleine Pelner in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons concluded that the burden of illegal immigrants on the health care system in the US has forced many hospitals to close due to unpaid bills and the unfunded mandate of EMTALA. Between 1993 and 2003, 60 hospitals in California alone were forced to close, and many others had to reduce staff or implement other procedures which reduced the level of service they could provide. The article attributes these closings mainly to illegal immigration. [33] "In Fiscal Year 2001, the total cost for emergency medical care for illegal immigrants in California was more than $648 million. At the same time, the California Association of Public Hospitals notes that California%u2019s public hospitals face a $600 million a year budget deficit

We looked the other way for so long that the illegal residents in the US can swing entire elections.

I wouldn't worry too mush about the voting block created by the portion of the invaders that are Mexican. In Mexico's 2000 election, only 46% of eligible voters did vote.

[coffeehead-2009]

Those screaming 'racist' are the BIGGEST.

Just more boot stomping propaganda -
The Mexican immigrants reak of predjudice and hatred for American's of white decent and even more of blacks. The media writes what they want. I see a small percentage of TAXPAYERS supporting this - those seeking peon workers to do their deeds CHEAP, corporations and just folks who have no qualms about USING others and their means to achieve a personal purpose. This is not American - it is just a sign of the times and the selfish - self/interest of personal gain.

"81 percent of native-born Americans have employment-based health insurance."

Yet, another lie. I know way too many native-born Americans who have absolutely no insurance. We also know that health insurance costs of business are making them have to shut down. Plus, if you want Americans to be the ones doing the field work, you can be sure that no farmer has enough money to pay for the high cost of health insurance for seasonal labor.

One more time: What part of ILLEGAL ALIEN don't you understand, ILLEGAL or ALIEN? Round 'em up and send 'em packin'! I'll pick the *** onions- for AT LEAST $7.25/hr.

"Illegal immigration is the number one reason our healthcare system is on life support. Hospitals and emergency rooms across the United States are closing, but they are shutting in the areas with the highest rate of illegal immigration..if we removed illegal immigrants from the equation, the number of %u201Cuninsured Americans%u201D the media keeps touting would plummet, because 76 percent of naturalized citizens and 81 percent of native-born Americans have employment-based health insurance." says Congressman Elton Gallegly (R-CA24)[30]

... I have come to the conclusion that the primary reason that the Prez wants this legislation is in an attempt to identify the invaders in the US. The only way he thinks he can actually get them to come forward, is to promise them legitimacy. Sadly, this will not work, most will not come forward anyway. If this legislation is signed, the majority of invaders will not comply with the provisions, it won't solve the identity problem and more invaders will arrive hoping for the next amnesty. ...

Furthermore, anyone who feels they might not pass a background check definitely won't come forward. These are the same people the government is supposedly interested in finding.

"Terrorists are using the same channels to enter the United States that have flooded our country with illegal Mexican immigrants."

Liar. Your terrorists have all arrived as legal immigrants wanting to take lessons in flying school. Your illegals have arrived to weed onion fields. Yet another racist "pedo."

Read the above ignorant statement and then tell me again this has nothing to do with racism. This is classic and typical of many of the anti-immigration crowd and has been for the last century and a half whenever a new group moves toward America. Beaners, Wops, Kikes, Ni*gers, Micks, Krauts, etc., etc., etc. It's disgusting to think that there are still Americans who should be wearing the sheets and hat of the KKK!

[rudy654-2009]

"All of these Bean*rs are going to vote democratic."

Oh, you most have eaten a lot of beans and are projecting your racist "pedos."

[kirstinharr]

I saw a bumper sticker on a Texas pick-up truck that read:

"Illegals and Terrorists have NO rights"

Startling to see those two in the same sentence but food for thought. Terrorists are using the same channels to enter the United States that have flooded our country with illegal Mexican immigrants.

We looked the other way for so long that the illegal residents in the US can swing entire elections. Both parties have little choice but to put this issue to rest BEFORE the critical primaries for '08 are decided. This was done 2 decades ago and we were promised that if we gave amnesty, there would be a stop to illegal immigration. The numbers then were about 3 million, now the calculation is an additional 20 million illegals. It didn't work the first time. We're doing it again and there really is no end in sight. Within another two decades, the Mexican population will outnumber everyone else in the United States...Welcome to NORTHERN MEXICO.

Yet Kennedy , Pelosi ,Reid , Richardson an McCain are trying their best to give this country away..All for votes..
Posted by FARTKNOCKER2 at 01:47 PM : May 25, 2007

Not sure my Nancy had anything to do with this, yet. As for Kennedy....all I had to hear was that his fingerprints were on it and I knew it was full of she-ot! Hopefully, it will die a quick, deserving death - like Teddy.

Especially after watching the Prez speak yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that the primary reason that the Prez wants this legislation is in an attempt to identify the invaders in the US. The only way he thinks he can actually get them to come forward, is to promise them legitimacy. Sadly, this will not work, most will not come forward anyway. If this legislation is signed, the majority of invaders will not comply with the provisions, it won%u2019t solve the identity problem and more invaders will arrive hoping for the next amnesty.

We need to use a little more stick and a little less carrot.

Read my editorial letter in todays LA Times.

U.S. Immigration Policy Needs:

%u2026 To Be Completely Rebuilt
49%
%u2026 Fundamental Changes
41%
%u2026 Minor Changes
8%


Put me in the completely rebuilt category! Yes the last time amnesty was done they scr*ewed up and never followed through on border security or a decent Guest Worker program, but just because they scr*ewed it up last time does not mean these are bad ideas. IF they fix the border (and no that does not mean machine guns and land mines like some idiots propose) AND provide a realistic Guest Worker Program (500,000 minimum) AND drop this ridiculous $5,000 fine AND the need to return home first, then this program would make some sense. As it stands now though unless they gut the whole immigration system (which is broken beyond a few fixes) then the undocumented workers will stay undocumented and below the radar and I would too if I were them. Either fix the whole da*mn thing or fix none of it and let's go on as it is now.
