You got it and they call me most of the time "SOSAD"

Nice to meet you SOSAD!

give us an immigration system that is enforceable, and the resources to enforce it.

Yeah, not like the fence, huh?


Opponents of the Senate immigration bill -- those who really want to do nothing -- merely yelled "amnesty" in place of reasoned opposition.

Yeah, what a concept, huh? Calling a spade a spade. Go figure.

But there are upwards of 12 million people illegally in this country -- people who work, who have settled their families and who have raised their children here.

Yep, and hard working Americans have paid for every dime of it! They should thank us and then take their anchors and get the hell out!


For 20 years our country has done basically nothing to enforce the 1986 legislation against either the employers who hired illegal immigrants or those who crossed our borders illegally to work for them. Accordingly, our current system is, effectively, silent amnesty.

Yeah, and who's fault is that, Jan? The laws were there; they just weren't enforced...but you know that. Unfortunately for you, so do we.

A man in the United States illegally was pulled over in Phoenix and charged with driving under the influence. Immigration officers arrested him, his wife and their 19-year-old son, who were also here illegally. An aunt says that their 12-year-old daughter -- who is an American citizen -- cries every day for the family members who had to leave her behind. This is a fair immigration system?

The alleged "man" should have considered this possibility before he put his children in this position...just like any American prison inmate. And he was driving drunk...with his family in the car? And didn't he think he might get picked up and deported, thereby leaving his children parentless? No, he didn't...but we're supposed to! And they didn't have to leave the anchor here..they chose to. Probably in hopes that they will either come right back across the border, or she can yank them across as "family reunification"....along with 400 other of her "closest" relatives.

The Immigration Customs and Enforcement agency has sent several top-ranking students from Arizona State University to a camp in Eloy, Ariz., to await deportation to countries they have never lived in. The students have earned top marks, have never been in serious legal trouble and by all measures are primed to become productive members of our economy. This is a wise immigration policy?

·A team from an Arizona high school that has a high percentage of immigrant students went to Upstate New York in 2002 to compete in a science fair. After winning the top prize, the students crossed into Canada to see Niagara Falls -- and were stopped at the border when they tried to return. After nine hours of interrogation they were allowed back into the United States, but a years-long legal battle ensued over whether they should be deported. We spent precious law enforcement resources on these high school students rather than on combating putative terrorist threats or, indeed, on infectious tuberculosis carriers. This is good homeland security?

And, once again, hard working American citizens footed the bill. These students should have been American students, since Americans paid for their education. Illegal aliens should never have been on that trip in the first damn place! Too bad Canada didn't keep them, but I guess they're not as stupid as the United States.

Please, someone in AZ go slap this woman's face.

The headline to this is almost funny: "A View From A Border Governor"...she should check out the "view" from a place where a real American gets to look at it, huh?

I liked your commentary NotGoingtoTakeitAnymore
