So many crimes are happening across America, that usually do not warrant any national press report. The question is, has this been going on for decades? That only because we have the Internet, instant communication that everybody knows almost immediately? Or is it because the masses of illegal people entering this nation, without being screened has brought with them a third world mentality? If it wasn't for Independent Journalists like Lou Dobbs of CNN or O'Reilly from FOX, Glenn Beck, as the population of activists Americans would forever remain in the dark. Pro-immigrant zealots don't like it, because the average citizen or legal resident has a say in this explosive issue. Regular citizens have become the first line of defense of corrupt politicians and the special interest lobby, that remain in collusion with far-left (9th district court) judges and extremist groups which border on tyranny. Americans do not have the financial backing of corporate farms, Foundations, business CARTELS of funds extracted from taxpayers without their knowledge. Funding anti-sovereignty, extremist entities like La Raza (the Race), Army of National Liberation and Mexicanos Sin Fronteras (Mexicans Without Borders, just to name two. Those who steal across our perforated fence, includes the criminal element that think they above above US law. Each day citizens are slain on the roads of America, by drunk illegal drivers. This is far from isolated case, because these accident reports are not necessary revealed by the biased press. Pedestrians have become 'road kill' daily, especially when the victims are innocent children. Do not expect to read about this carnage in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times. You need to dig deeper in rural newspapers or the e-media on the Internet, to find the unsuppressed facts. Then we have the violent street gangs protected by 'Sanctuary cities' like Los Angeles. The unsuppressed news reports will tell you about the child pedophiles, female assaults, murders, robbers and Social security theft that do not get wide press. Thousands of families are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. The pro-immigrant zealots use the same mantra, that citizens and legal residents commit these crimes also...? But why when we have our own inmate crowding our prisons, should we need to support illegal foreign nationals criminals. Today we cannot even deport them and breathe a sigh of relief, because it seems like days before the return via the porous fence to violate our penal laws. It seems like our 'Rule of Laws' are violated everyday, because the business empire demands cheap labor. Our corrupt politicians play games with American lives because they refuse to enforce immigration laws. NUMBERSUSA.

I live in an average middle-class suburban neighbourhood. So far we have hardly been touched by the current financial melt-down because most people here live in the real economy where real goods and services are produced. Two of my neighbouring families are illegals. Both are Irish. One is a graphic designer, a member of the local Roman-Catholic school-committee (his two kids are US born). The other does something in IT. Both are English-speaking, educated to third-level, and come from a socio/policical background with values familiar to Americans. Both are presumably paying taxes. Both came here as students who over-stayed their temporary visas when economic circumstances were bad in the 80s and are currently disqualified from regularizing their immigration-status. They are both a bonus to their neighbourhood and the US. Are we to deport these hard-working and law-abiding people and the other approx. 200K Irish and other EU illegals in the US? There is no simple solution.

There is a simple solution, Mr. Murray: Deport them all. Then the illegal Irish can stand in line to come back in a legal manner. Or are you wanting special treatment for your fellow Irish?

Excellent article. However, Ms. Simmons doesn't tell the whole story. At least 25 Americans are killed at the hands of illegal alens thru murder and DUI accidents caused by illegal aliens. This fact alone is reason enough to deport the 30-50 million already here. We can solve the anchor baby, anchor teen and anchor adult issue separately. While deporting as many illegals as we can, the military/National Guard needs to be put on the Border along with the Army Corps of Engineers to complete construction of the double fence. If these things are done, we can save the country. If not, we'll just continue the slide towards third world country status.

WE HAVE BEEN INVADED!!! SOUTHWEST BORDER APPREHENSIONS (Source DHS/CBP) 1987--1,190,488------1995--1,394,554------2003----905,065 1988--1,008,145------1996--1,649,986------2004--1,139,282 1989----954,243------1997--1,412,953------2005--1,189,108 1990--1,169,939------1998--1,555,776------2006--1,071,972 1991--1,197,875------1999--1,537,000------2007----858,638 1992--1,258,482------2000--1,643,679------2008----660,288 (08/31) 1993--1,327,259------2001--1,235,718 1994--1,094,717------2002----929,809 FACT: In the last 22 years, over 26 million illegals, have been apprehended, crossing our Southwest Border. THE PROBLEM IS: Less than 1, out of 4 illegals, were estimated to have been apprehended, while crossing the border, into our United States. Mind boggling, isn't it. According to the U.S. Immigration Service another 6 million illegals in this country are visa overstays. That is, they got a visa legally in their home country, they came here to visit and then they never left. In the last 22 years, there have been another 4 million anchor babies born to illegals. Anchor babies are now being born at a rate of 350-400 thousand per year in our United States. All at our expense!! Then the ANCHOR BABIES qualify for welfare, food stamps, section-8 housing, all at our expense. American Taxpayers are getting screwed, over, and over, and over, again!!!

If the main stream media wanted to talk about illegal immigration then the candidates would be talking about it. It’s an extremely controversial subject and one that Americans are quite concerned about. The media has no excuse for ignoring it and this lack of coverage shows how they go about manipulating the news.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
