During a panel discussion on the May 18 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, Michelle Dallacroce, the founder of Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, asserted that there is no reason "that we have to have" immigrant women and children in the United States, since there are no jobs for "the women and the children [to] do ... other than their children's job is to dumb down the American children and overpopulate our schools." Dallacroce made her remark in response to a comment by Linda Chavez, president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, who argued that "we need to have an avenue for more people to come legally," because, "[w]e're creating two million jobs a year and we need these people." As Media Matters for America previously noted, Your World recently aired a segment asking whether the May 1 "Day Without Immigrants" protests were "freedom of expression or economic terrorism." From the May 18 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto: DALLACROCE: Well, I drove about three hours this morning just to get an opportunity to deliver about 1,500 e-mails that I have received from mothers and grandmothers and all Americans all in America, ever since I've been on Fox talking about our children, and these are all of them right here -- every single one. And I wasn't having the opportunity to do that and it's very disappointing. I was actually hoping that -- for the compassion -- for the president to know that I made my way all the way here to deliver this to see that he loved the American children as much as he cares about our neighbors that he cares so much about. And one thing I'd like to have issue with him is that the dignity that he talks about giving to these people, the dignity that he is stripping from the American people and the legal American residents and the legal immigrants that have come to our country is what he's stripping when he talks about the dignity of rewarding illegal aliens by giving them citizenship or a path to it. CAVUTO: Linda Chavez, what do you think of that? Is he doing that? He says it's not amnesty. I have heard conservatives say it is. What do you think? CHAVEZ: Well, I think what he's doing is acting in the best interest of the United States. We have a need for labor. People want to come here to work. We have employers who want to hire them. And the problem has been that they've been coming illegally. I think nobody can support the idea of somebody breaking the law and coming in against the law, and that's why we are now going to have a fence across more of the border; we're going to have more border patrol agents to get people who come illegally but we need to have an avenue for more people to come legally. We're creating two million jobs a year and we need these people. DALLACROCE: Well, I'm -- I have a question. What jobs do the women and the children do that we have to have them here other than their children's job is to dumb down the American children and overpopulate our schools? And until the president starts talking about how these illegal children and women are affecting our country, that's not a comprehensive plan.Video Clip

This dumb twit is merely exploiting this issue by creating hatred and alarm that is unjustified and incendiary. Why do these people not see that the true villains in this issue are those who enticed people into this country to leverage one work force against another? Why do they not take on those business leaders who make incredible profit by disenfranchising Americans from job security, benefits and wage levels? Answer: Because these people are incredibly powerful politically and economically and like any bully, they pick the easy target. It would be a bloody battle if they took on those who worked to build the immigrant demographics, so they pick on those in the issue with relatively no political savvy or resources to fight back. Stop picking on the economic whores, and hang the Business leader pimps. It would be a costly battle on the short term, but pay far more dividends and be far more beneficial on the long term.
We are only creating 2 million jobs a year. That is not enough for all of the young people entering the labor force. What has happened is that 3,500,000 native born Americans over 50 have dropped out of the labor force. And jobs have disappeared for black men under 30. And wages have dropped due to illegal immigration. I know a gardener who is white and works 40 plus hours a week and does not make enough money to rent a one bedroom apartment for him and his son. We need a wall to keep the illegals out. We also need an insta check system to get those who are already here to leave. If they can't find work or get welfare they will leave. There are 500,000 illegal aliens in our jails. They did not all come here to work. We need to round up all gang members who are here illegally and deport them. It is not strictly capitalism at fault. Look at the banking system. See the lead article The Fiction of Government Debt at http://WWW.OpeningMind.Blogspot.com

That's a start, but Bush claims we can't round them up; yet it's obvious we have already hundreds of thousands in custody for crimes.
Robert Frost's poem, 'Mending Fences' is my sentiment concerning a wall. If one is put up, it should be torn down; illegally if necessary. With full responsibility for doing so accepted along non-violent civil disobedience guidelines. It is obscene to even consider the notion of a fence. Thanks for the link, I'll look at it. In any event, tell me, how is the banking system not part of the capitalist paradigm? I'll look at your link later when I've the time and see if I can figure out what you mean, though do feel free to clarify your observation.

we need to have an avenue for more people to come legally. We're creating two million jobs a year and we need these people. (Linda Chavez said the above. She is half Mexican-American by birth. Her husband is Jewish.)
