Grim Picture on Illegal Immigration

By Bill O'Reilly

[Tonight's] "Talking Points Memo": Grim new stats about illegal immigration.

The Pew Hispanic Research Center has issued a report that says the following:

There are currently 11 million illegal aliens residing in the USA right now, six million of them Mexicans. Eighty percent of Mexican migration to America is illegal. And there are currently 34 million immigrants living here, the highest in U.S. history.

There's no question that having 11 million people running around unaccounted for is chaos and a gross violation of U.S. law, yet little is being done about the situation for political reasons.

The Republicans believe Hispanic-Americans will provide votes, and, indeed, President Bush picked up 9 percent more Hispanic votes last November than he did the first time around. The irony is "Talking Points" believes that Hispanic-Americans like most of us want illegal immigration controlled and would not punish a politician for doing that.

The left-wing media, however, would. Any president who cracked down on illegal aliens would be demonized and accused of bigotry. â€â€

"Now outside of the economy and the war in Iraq, the security of America's borders is the number one issue in the country today. Do you think our leaders understand that? I don't."

You got that right, Mr. O'reilly.

Wow. WE have a MESS.

I favor a guest worker program, understand the country needs new blood, and feel diversity is a strength.

Wait a minute here. Mr O Reilly you whine and moan about our border situation, but at the same time you favor a guest worker program which is an amnesty that rewards those who have broken our laws. That's like saying "yeah crime is a major problem and something needs to be done, but I'm in favor of releasing criminals back out onto the streets". Come on Mr Spin, your spinning here. You can't have it both ways.

What's this crap about needing new blood? We currently have almost 300 million people in this country including the illegals. We don't need any more new blood. We are over populated as it is. This guy makes it sound like we have a dieing population and that's nonsense. That's OBL propaganda.

No Mr Spin diversity is not our strength, that's political correctness. Unity is our strength. Diversity is perversity. If diversity is our strength then why is this country falling apart? Not being racist, but come on here, it's an honest question. Seriously if being divided as a nation is looked upon as being a good thing then we are in serious trouble.
