Comments on: Immigration A Top Issue — For GOP Only

Fastfredy1 - I agree entirely; from both your messages. Unfortunately, morality and ethics often take the side road the instant somebody can find a way to make money from doing the opposite - as in rewarding negative behavior.

The same goes for offshoring jobs involving IP; then the corporations start whining we need piracy laws. Looking at the stats; the US is nowhere near the countries with the worst problems. Yet more laws are being staged for the US (fine and dandy) except the rest of the world isn't following suit. Surely by now, the costs of piracy would have rendered keeping all the jobs here in America as being the less costly thing to do?

I cannot adequately express the outrage felt by my associates, my friends, my family, or myself at this latest travesty of legislation being launched out of Washington. For decades the legislators in Washington have done nothing to stem the flood of criminals crossing our Southern Border. That is the only legitimate label that can be applied to these people.....to willfully, knowingly break the law makes one "a criminal.%u201D The current laws have not been enforced. When apprehended these criminals are released on a foolish assumption they will return for trial and deportation.

The only solution now advanced is to give these criminals a "Get out of Jail Free" card! A "congratulations folks, you%u2019ve made it to the Promised Land!!" Now, go get all your family and friends and bring them over here for more free lunch; all on the backs of the American taxpayer. The only viable explanation has to be to enhance the political posturing of the Parties%u2026%u2026..it can in no way be construed as benefiting this Nation, its culture, or its traditions. Enforce the laws already on the books! We don%u2019t need more political deforestation with such a waste of paper. Why do we need amnesty for felons!

These people don't want to be Americans - they want to be foreigners living in America, earning an American living, having their bills paid by someone else, yet still expecting to have a say in how this country's governed. They don't want to learn English - instead they think you should be required to learn their language. Fire one, even in an 'at will' state such as Utah, and the EEOC folks will call. It was because they're hispanic and you're prejudiced, not because they were incompetent, constantly late, or called in sick at least once a week. They've no intention of trying to assimilate into our culture. The only reason anyone in America should celebrate Cinco del Mayo is because it recalls one more occasion when somebody kicked the *** out of the French; it's no more a part of our heritage than Boxing Day or Rose Monday.

Illeagle should punished not rewarded.

The illegal immigrants currently living in this country are not the people America needs. Predominately hispanic, the majority come from Latin and South America, primarily Mexico. They were raised in a culture in which corruption is an accepted fact of life. A dishonest politician, civil servant, or a corrupt cop is the norm, not the exception. Consequently, they have no respect for the law as evidenced by their illegal entry into this country.
You've been told they pay taxes, obey the law, and take the jobs that Americans won't. Sorry, but my experience has been the opposite. They'll mow lawns and they'll pick lettuce, but they won't stay there long. Checked the label on the fruits and veggies you've been buying lately? How many of those products actually came from South America? Personally, I'll pay more for fruits and vegetables to have 'em picked by an American that's earning a living wage. And when's the last time you asked a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn? He's not getting the $5 or $10 you got as a kid. I don't know of any cheap lawn service, so I don't accept their cries of 'poverty'.
