What about a North American Union like the European Union??
Bush approved of a new large highway for trade from Mexico to Canada...looking ahead, the corporate Republicans are and dragging along the religious Republicans with promises and propaganda.
The US should complete the fence that has been approved for and budgeted for by Congress and signed into law by President Bush . That would be a starter. I do not care one bit that it would not be 100% effective. It would slow down the rate of the flow of illegals into the country .
I would also get tougher on employers that hire them . The Del Monte plant was raided and some illegals were arrested. They wanted to replace them so they put out the word they were hiring . There was a long line of applicants. So much for "doing the work Americans wont do" .
Only after these are in place should the country address the need to expand visas. There is a definite need to stream-line the process. But the nation should only tolerate legal immigrants .We should know when they are here and when they leave at all times.
The situation has gotten out of hand and something needs to be done soon. For whatever reason the federal govt is dragging it's feet (which I suspect has to do with the large number of "anchor babies" who will have voting rights in the future), which is making local govts take action. My county and a neighboring county is currently working on ways to deny county services to illegal immigrants. It sends a clear message - if you are illegal you are going to have a tough time living here, so go live somewhere else. The federal govt needs to do SOMETHING; fences, moats, sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads...
Wondergirl agrees: They pick our crops too, don't forget. What white person wants to slave (bent over for hours) out in a hot, dirty field and get all itchy?
I have picked, and packed crops before. You cant say no white person would do that. I am from the agricultural capital pretty much of the United States. Yes, the hispanics do a good job around there, but there are plenty of white people that do it too.
I believe the borders should be closed. They are draining this country and have no business here if they dont belong here. I dont mind the ones that come here to work, the ones that actually TRY to gain citizenship, but the ones that are perfectly happy remaining illegal and feeding off of taxpayers, are the ones that pi$$ me off.
Not to mention they are trashing this country. You people from California, which is where I am originally from, know what i'm talking about. My hometown used to be so beautiful when I was younger, now its completely trashed, dirty and dingy. I absolutely love it here in Florida, and although I am moving back to California soon, I really dont want to. Something needs to be done because its getting ridiculous. I say we give California to Mexico (since that is what it pretty much is already), close the border, and try to rebuild.
What jillian says is true. However, there are also communities who are doing the opposite and welcoming the immigrants. That's a clear message too - if you're illegal we won't let you be exploited because of it in our community. We like clean dishes.
The federal government failed again. Local laws like these can't prevail on either side. The feds DO need to do something. Criminalizing leaf blowers, however, ain't it.
What about just taking mexico over, who is going to fight it, thier army ? they would all give up just to become US citizens.
We talk over all of Mexicos natural resourses, create oil jobs, beach resorts. As for as religious, mexico is actually a higher percentage Christian, so they should not have a religious issue
