Has this Columnist for the California based "Scripps-Howard News Service" ever bothered to read the....PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
The first sentence of the...PREAMBLE....says;
"WE THE PEOPL OF THE UNITED STATES..."
NOT............."WE THE PEOPLE ...."IN"....THE UNITED STATES..."
What..."RIGHT"... does an...ILLEGAL ALIEN FROM MEXICO...have to evade the Legal Entry Points between... MEXICO ...and the...UNITED STATES ???
What ..."RIGHT"...does an ...ILLEGAL ALIEN FROM MEXICO...have to steal the Identity of an...AMERICAN CITIZEN...in order to.....STEAL A JOB FROM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN ???
What ..."RIGHT"...does an ...ILLEGAL ALIEN FROM MEXICO...have to...USE FAKE DOCUMENTS TO RECEIVE....AMERICAN WELFARE MONEY...AMERICAN FOOD STAMPS....AMERICAN FREE/REDUCED HOUSING...AMERICAN MEDICAID (ACCCHS) AND TO RECEIVE AMERICAN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AND/OR HOSPITALIZATION AND NOT PAY ONE CENT FOR IT ???
What ..."RIGHT"...does an ... ILLEGA ALIEN FROM MEXICO ...have to...ATTEND AMERICAN SCHOOLS THAT COST HARD WORKING AMERICAN TAX-PAYERS IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA......$7,670.00...PER ILLEGAL ALIEN FROM MEXICO STUDENT....PER YEAR.
IF ANY AMERICAN OR CITIZEN OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD...TRIED TO..........ILLEGALLY ENTER ... MEXICO ... THEY WOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL AND DEPORTED = IF MEXICO DOESN'T ALLOW...."ILLEGAL ALIEN IMMIGRATION" ... THEN WHY SHOULD............AMERICA.

Leon, you ask " if Mexico doesn't allow illegal immigration, why should America?"
Because BUSINESS EXECS want cheaper labor so they can make BIGGER profits and get BIGGER BONUSES.
Top business executives don't consider themselves Americans.
They are globalists.
They have NO loyalty to anyone or anyplace --- except MONEY.
Workers are just another form of material used to make products like a piece of sheet metal. Buy the cheapest materials they can get and charge the most they can.
If a worker dies on the shop floor, drag him out of the way and hire another one. Workers are interchangeable parts.

"United States' need for seasonal and occasional supplementary workers and Mexico's temporary demographic bulge." -- Which means that they should go back to their country of origin after the season is over. Why is it that I keep hearing of ILLEGAL ALIENS that came to the USA on legal work visas, have the time on those visas end, but NEVER go home. There have been reports of ILLEGAL ALIENS staying in the USA over fifteen years or more! Is that "seasonal"?
"Opponents tried to convince public opinion that immigration reform was rewarding really, really, really bad behavior by people in search of every kind of city and rural job who skipped the formalities of U.S. entry to counteract family hunger or lack of opportunity and poverty in Mexico." -- So, breaking Federal law (and in truth, most DO NOT STOP THERE) isn't considered "bad behavior"? Is jumping to the front of the line (grocery, movie, et al) considered good behavior? If my wife and I couldn't provide for our family, does that give us the right to IGNORE LAWS in order to survive?
Anyone that doesn't think that the INVASION OF FOREIGN NATIONALS into the USA isn't something that should be stopped, then they have obviously don't have a clear picture of the situation (to borrow his phrase) and "fell for the ploy have been punked".
Even the Jamacian drug cartels are now coming through Mexico due to the EASE THOSE WISHING TO COMMITT ILLEGAL ACTS have when crossing our porous border. Doubt me:

My state senator Steve Yarbrough is one of the legislator that has succumb to the business interests that want to let illegals run wild across the border. I will not support him anymore. He caved to the Chamber of Commerce lobby and voted against the illegal immigrant bills that were defeated in the state senate. We need to deny illegals the resources that bring them here, free medical, citizenship for their babies born here, welfare, housing and jobs. There are enough legal immigration laws already on the books, we just need to enforce them.

Question for Mr de la Isla. If we have no idea who is coming in over our border illegally. Why would we not think that terrorist may or have come over the border in the same way. Are only Mexicans smart enough to know that the borders are a sieve? Here is an idea, how about requesting those who collect unemployment to work for the money they recieve and fill in for the lack of agricultural workers. Or welfare recipients? Or if illegal immigrants is what the farmers truley need, have them provide health insurance for the illegal workers. Then they are paying the true cost to employ them.

Because, Mexico does not want illegal immigrants there, even if they don't have criminal records or threaten Mexico’s security or public safety.
But, the U.S. government, through the Department of Homeland Security, has said it has and will allow illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and apply for work permits.

Masterrougue666, I saw one article that said over 600 people from the Middle East have been caught crossing our southern border.
That is only the one's we CAUGHT.
No one knows how many got through with no problem.
And these illegal aliens from Arab countries are walking our streets as you read this.

Arizona Willie: Quite true! Those ILLEGAL ALIENS that are caught, are recorded. There's no way to tell how many get away! I've read a report from a border agent saying that he expects that we only get about 10%.
Our borders are not safe.
