Urban Legends

You know its interesting because the liberals claim the conservatives are racist and forgot that they were once immigrants yet not realize we are against ILLEGAL immigrants. I don't care if they are European, if they came here illegal they should be deported. The liberals need to shut up about the conservatives because its the liberals that are supporting criminals.
It amazes me how anybody could support ILLEGAL immigration.
Illegal-1. forbidden by law or statute.
2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc.: The referee ruled that it was an illegal forward pass.
means your a criminal

Sorry for the typos, I have a problem with my browser

As is so often the case, two things are lumped together to try and prove one point. Despite the rhetoric being thrown around, most conservatives do not oppose immigration, they oppose ILLEGAL immigration. I sincerely hope the immigrant cops you mentioned came here legally. If you pay attention to the quotes I saw in your piece, Most if not all are talking about immigrants in general, not illegals.
I notice there are some statistics yoionate percentage of illegals in the penal system.

Are you crazy?

What more do you have to offer than rhetorical evidence to support such an outlandish assertion that the way to keep the crime rate down is not to question the status of illegals, or worse yet, to endorse or promote it? (???And it's not just that newly arrived immigrants are less likely to be part of an urban nightmare, it's that they bring their own positive dreams.???) Come on!

Sure you quote statistics such as ???Nationwide, over the last 15 years we've seen the largest wave of immigration, in absolute numbers, both legal and illegal, ever to reach the shores of the United States. Foreigners fresh off the boat, so to speak, now represent almost 13 percent of the U.S. population???, granted, but does this naturally mean that the illegals are responsible for the lower crime rate.

You obviously have an agenda as is evidenced by your support for Hillary???s confusion (read ???Flip-flop???).

With regard to the terror front, as you call it, how about the fact that it was recently discovered that Al Qaeda has formed bonds w/Mexican drug cartels to transport terrorists into the US, or how about the fact that all of the 9-11 hijackers were from parts outside of the US? I guess they were here legally so this doesn???t fall into your overall assertion that only illegals make us safer.

Please don???t try to palm off the misguided idea that illegals equate to less crime. It just does not follow. Good try, but we can see thru your agenda. What???s sad is that there are some that would buy your ???logic???.

The only thing that made sense in your piece was the statement: ???So the debates go on, with every discussion of illegal aliens ever more alienated from the facts at hand???.

I moved to Florida from northern NJ in 1980 when I was 20...same year as the Mariel Boatlift and the year the Miami skyline began construction with cocaine drug money. Since then, south Florida has been innundated with Hispanics from third world countries whose culture provides an extreme shock factor. I moved out of my first home in 1994 because a house a block away became filled with an increasing group of these people who allowed their eight children ages 2-10 to roam the neighborhood unsupervised, and their house eventually just had holes in the walls where there once were windows and doors...and dirt instead of grass, not even weeds. I am now starting to witness the deterioration of the once upscale neighborhood I moved to. I have a 'For Sale' sign on my house and had TWO CARLOADS of Hispanics pull into my driveway, knock on my door (about 10 people) and ask how many bedrooms I have! You may recall the immigrant 27 yr old Mexican cocaine trafficker 'father', his 26 yr old wife, and two toddler sons shot dead on the FL turnpike in St Lucie county a year ago. Their Mexican family who live in Texas were not as shocked as the unfortunate motorist who found the bodies. It's common to see memorials to the deceased plastered on rear windows of vehicles down here. Pathetic! This is one huge culture America can do without. The other is Haitians. Just last week over the Thanksgiving holiday, another boat full washed up on the shore of Jupiter Island. They actually went to someones house to ask for directions! One died in the surf. This is not the way to emigrate. It's unfair to all. I'm tired of being forced to deal with it daily, and on top of it, having to pay for it.

Also, by accepting more illegals, it doesn't help their own country, they should try to duplicate our form of democracy to improve their own country. This way it helps more people instead of running away from the problem by coming to the US. USe your head, they should fix their own country, and as americans we should help them. And those who ashamed of being american, isn't it ironic that they want to be americans?

i want to see him compare crime statistics of ILLEGAL immigrants to those that came here LEGALLY. Listen i don't mind immigrants but those that come here illegally can destroy the economy. And people like Christopher Dickey, think they're slick in making it a issue about immigration but its about those that sneak in to this country. They're not immigrants but tresspassers.

i want to see him compare the crimes committed by ILLEGAL immigrants compared to those Immigrants that came here LEGALLY.

We are a nation of laws. What part of ILLEGAL do you try to rationalize? Invading America with the desire of 'reconquista' and you think that is ok?

We have legal paths to citizenship. Breaking in and violating our borders does not make me want to welcome you in. Apply for legal status and then see how welcomed you are. Open arms!! But break in through the back door and my dog will bite your butt and not let go until you leave.

ANOTHER BLEEDING HEART MISINFORMED LIBERAL!!! YOU MAKE UP YOUR OWN TRUTH.

What CRAP! Try living in Larado, Tx. and tell me about the low crime rate. The place is like Iraq wit
opposing sides armed with machine guns and grenade launchers! Or come to one of the border states
and watch as your schools, hospitals, jails, roads and every public place is over-run with non-English speaking, NON-PAYING, mobs!!!!! You are just another "pointy headed liberal"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are only choosing to portray a certain image, kshings. I, too, have lived and worked in two different foreign countries. I, as well, find most foreigners I have met to be kind, warm-hearted, and fun-loving. I also agree with you that most persons in the U.S. falsely believe that illegal=Mexican. HOWEVER, I don't think that there is ANYTHING greedy, selfish, nor cold-hearted about demanding that our leaders impose national standards for all people who want to live and work within our borders. That, my friend, is PRACTICAL and SENSIBLE. I'll tell you something else...because the majority of my college friends and co-workers are foreign nationals (I earned a Master's Degree in Spanish Literature), I have found that the overwhelming majority of persons here on student and/or work visas feel that the U.S. SHOULD be doing more to stop illegal immigration, as it hampers the process and reputation of those who wait patiently for their LEGAL paperwork to come through. As I'm sure even you can appreciate, there ARE two sides to your story.

Bravo, JDark, Bravo!

I couldn't have said it better myself. In the newly released comedy "Knocked Up" there is a scene were the lead guy is telling the lead girl that he's actually Canadian and living in the US illegally. Hahaha, funny, right? The jokes continue with him saying it's great because he doesn't have to pay taxes. Hahaha, more laughs! But none of this would be funny if it were a Mexican speaking because the majority of the US believes that Illegal=Mexican which therefore = more taxed for us "hard-working" (yeah right) Americans to pay.

I lived six months in Mexico, teaching English as a foreign language and learned many imortant things. They were the kindest, more heart-felt, warm and welcoming people I've ever had the privilege to know and more often than not, I am ashamed to be an American. Our greedy, cold, selfish hearts make this country a ticking time-bomb. I sure hope I'm not around when it goes off.

Lets just proposed that all the illegal immigrants in the US were deported. OK! Well who would be left to do all of the jobs that are hard labor and jobs that a so called " Respectable Amercian" wouldn't be caught doing do just to earn a dollar? Who would pick the vegetables, construct fancy homes for pennies on the dollar? Anyone have an answer? Thats what I thought !!! And if I remember history , I believe that Native American Indians were the first people of this land, not the people that think that they have a GOD given right to exist in this country. Who murder,raped, and destoryed the land and way of life of the Native American Indians? Ancestors of Immigrants, the so called Americans of this country.
