Illegal Immigrant on CBS: In 20 Years, We'll Run America! On CBS’s "Sunday Morning" reporter Martha Teichner narrated a piece sympathetic to Hispanic immigrants, and in particular, illegal immigrants. She profiled three Hispanic people, two of whom initially came to the country illegally. One illegal immigrant she profiled was defiant of his status, and sounded almost threatening when he said: "In 20 years, we are going to run the country. Right now we're running the cities. So little by little, we're running the show. Little by little. So this sleeping giant is already awakened." The piece omitted some crucial elements, first there was no mention of societal costs of illegal immigration, such as health care and education costs, crime, particularly gang crime like MS-13, and second, Teichner ignored the overall question of the appropriateness of people illegally crossing into America to influence the democratic process. How many nations would allow non citizens, much less people with no legal authority to be in the country, to influence the outcomes of elections and policy debates? The answer is not many, so why, then, should the United States allow this? In fact the only anti illegal immigration voice in the piece was a sound bite from Congressman Virgil Goode: Virgil Goode, Virginia Representative: "The position of the Senate needs to be there will be no amnesty period. If we took that position, many of those here illegally now would march on back to Mexico." The highpoint of Teichner’s piece was the fact that she mentioned an actual poll that finds that almost 90% of Americans feel that illegal immigration is a problem: Martha Teichner: "Today, an estimated 12 million are here illegally. A CBS/News New York Times poll found that nearly nine out of 10 Americans consider illegal immigration either a serious or very serious problem..." Illegal immigration is a serious issue, and reporters ought to be reporting all the facts, benefits and costs on the subject, not just choosing to highlight illegal immigrants, who invoke our sympathy while failing to report the societal consequences of illegal immigration.

More diversion. It shouldn't be an "issue" at all. There are only 2 classes of status as far as immigration is concerned. An immigrant is either here legally or not. Those that fall in the second category should be put into the "concentration camps" Halliburton has been building here. When word got out in Mexico (and everywhere) that this would be the consequence you'd see those seeking a better life going through legal channels to do so. Deportation is of no use, as they will only come back. What other nation would simply send back someone that managed to get in illegally? When it comes to other "illegalities" there certainly isn't any discussion as to whether to allow it or give the offender "amnesty". Just ask Mel G. The only thing that could possibly be an "issue" is whether to eliminate the status of illegal altogether. And even the idiots wanting an "amnesty program" or whatever wouldn't agree to that.
A bunch of DMV, postal and Social Security employees cannot become US Senators overnight. Gonzales is just a puppet, and that's about all the other illegals can expect.
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers Senorita, you do not know the meaning of those words...yet.
"Freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in ...into an unbearable hell and a choking life." They can hardly do a worse job than the people currently running it.

"Prohibition...goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes at the very principles upon which our govt was founded."
