Why are we suprise that our elected officials don't enforce he existing laws that are on the books? I guess that they pick and choose what law they want to enforce for their politicial reasons. The american tax paying citizen need to hold our politicians accounable at the ballot box for their failures as lawmakers. I guess when they took their oath of office, they forgot what they swore to uphold. The illegals drain needed social resources from local communities and states (overcrowded prisions, hospitals, welfare) and we as over taxed taxpayers have to pick up the additional burden for their inability to lead and enforce the laws of the land.

Both McCain and Obama prattle on endlessly about how they are going to fix problems like health care, education, environmental degredation and national security. But they never mention a huge factor in all of these issues: we are flooding this country with poor people because of our open borders and our tolerance of mass illegal immigration. How can we trust either one of them when they ignore an issue as important as this?

if obama or mccain spend 2 seconds discussing illegal aliens tonight, they'll have misjudged the state of the nation as badly as the washington times. there is only 1 issue - how to stop the erosion of trillions of dollars in accumulated 401K and IRA savings which middle america will rely on when they retire. why aren't we reimplementing the "short sale on uptick rule"? you can trace the fall of the markets to the moment it was suspended in 2007. short sellers and rumor mongers have made money hand over fist every since. screw the illegal alien debate. save my retirement, damnit!

Americans will think more seriously about the Illegal Alien Problem when they find they will be splitting their "retirement" social security monies with someone in Mexico, who has been using the American's ID for years. It is only "fair", right? In Arizona, we see 10,000 illegal aliens entering our state PER WEEK. Phoenix has become the "kidnap capital" of America, due to the Mexican gangs kidnapping various human "cargo" from other Mexican gangs; the kidnapped are held hostage for monetary extortion. Third-world violence is rampant in this state; thank you, President Bush. For this Presidential election, the fix is in for illegal immigration. Senators Obama and McCain are not going to talk about it. It is a forbidden topic during all of the debates. You can bet that this issue will be forced down the citizens throats by whichever Senator we elect, in spite of the overwhelming will of The People AGAINST legalizing the illegals (rewarding the FELONS) through an "amnesty" program. Border security IS national security. God Bless America Army Airborne Ranger & American Nationalist

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?
