DELAWARE HAS GONE DOWN HILL TOO. MEXICANS DO NOT GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT RESPECTING THE LAND OR THE PEOPLE WHO "HOST" THEM. WE HAVE POLICE RAIDS HERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSTANTLY WITH DEPORTATION AS THE CONSEQUENCE. BUT, PEOPLE REAPPEAR 2 HOUSES DOWN, OR DRIVE A DIFFERENT CAR. THEN DISAPPEAR THEN THEY COME BACK. IT'S A CIRCLE AND A JOKE. THANK YOU.. DELAWARE HAS GONE DOWN HILL TOO. MEXICANS DO NOT GIVE A RAT’S ASS ABOUT RESPECTING THE LAND OR THE PEOPLE WHO “HOST” THEM.

AND WHO HAS BROKEN THE LAW TO HIRE THEM? ILLEGALS CAN NOT GET DRIVER'S LICENSES, OWN PROPERTY OR RENT. BUT THEY LIVE, WORK, DRIVE EVERY WHERE.

I think you would be surprised at the number of Americans who have skills such as being able to hammer a nail, cut a piece of wood or lay tile. They are just undercut by illegals who work for $5 hr because they don't pay taxes and get to take the cash and send it back to Mexico where it is spent, thus bypassing the sales tax that we could be generating here. Builders have a 30 - 40% profit margin on the houses they build, largely in part due to the cheap labor they are able to get. How else do you think they are able to build so many houses and have them sit empty for months at a time? If they had to pay a decent wage, they would still build they houses but they would also have to keep the price down or no one would be able to buy them. So, wah, maybe their profit margin drops to 25%. My family has been in the residential construction business for over 35 years. As far as having children without a country...what? I'm pretty sure they would be citizens of the same country that their parents came here illegally from. I think a lot of them would stop coming if they new there kids would not automatically be citizens just because they managed to get across the border in time, which is the whole point of the argument for changing the law. As for your quote, "Give me your tired..." you are now talking about the US citizens who are tired of working their butts off and are yearning to be free from over-burdening taxes which are sending them to the poor house and making it increasingly difficult for them to afford any door, much less a golden one but see all of their hard work going to support those who have never done anything. When Pete was laid off, his kid was denied CHiP coverage for his son because he had made too much money. He is still in the National Guard and has one more year to go before he reaches his 20. He was permanently injured. While in Iraq and yet has to wait for months at a time to get a doctor's appointment then go all the way up to Temple for it. I am completely against government health insurance or whatever socialist program Obama has got up his sleeve. According to the news, under Obama's plan, health care benefits are going to be taxed for those who receive them. So, some people will not be able to afford the tax and not take the job-offered insurance. Which means they will probably go on the governments insurance, which means that the taxes for job-offered programs will probably go up, which means that more people will be unable to afford it...anyone see the pattern here? Okay, I think I am done for now. I need to get to the gym so I can try to stay healthy so I don't die before the six month wait for the doctor is up now that we have a socialist health care system.

If employers were held responsible for employing illegals, the problem would solve itself in short order. If Americans were responsible and followed the rule of law, the problem would solve itself. If all the illegals headed back across the border tomorrow, they would be replaced by labor they forced out of the market to begin with, ya wanna know how to tape and float? I can show you, I just can't show you for five bucks an hour. As for your moral indignation and your showing your credentials, I think it is offensive you claim service and medals and wounds in order to argue for illegals. I did not get injured in my time. Am I less able to claim moral high-ground. Are my arguments for the rule of law less viable? Mark, I gotta tell ya something.

And all some of you weenies can do is argue for more illegal aliens to be allowed to enter and/or stay into the country. This thread is about a police officer that was murdered by an illegal alien.

You stop creating benefits that attract illegals to come here. You crack down on illegal hirings. While the states are required to provide free education and some medical care, they don't have to provide education beyond h.s., and emergency health care. They don't have to provide housing. They don't have to provide sanctuary. And yeah, a fence does work. Claiming that because some people can get through makes it a failure is dishonest. I don't know how much Texas spends a year on illegal aliens, but Calif spends about 14 billion dollars a year -- that will pay for any fence. When you allow a flood of illegal labor in, they force wages to go down. In the pass 20 years, the quality of life in my state has gone down into the toilet. So, don't tell me unchecked illegal immigration from Mexico and central America is good for this country. It’s not that hard. You stop creating benefits that attract illegals to come here.

LOL In New Caney I had 140 students and NOT ONE set of parents showed up on Parent Teacher night! I don't think I had 10 non white kids in my classes and I don't think I had any that were illegals. (Never quite know for sure though). I do know that right before we deployed to the sand box I helped one of my soldiers get his citizenship and watched him say the pledge for the first time as a citizen. One of my very coolest moments as a soldier. That’s awesome of having your classmates kids! LOL In New Caney I had 140 students and NOT ONE set of parents showed up on Parent Teacher night!
