La Raza is a radical communist based group promoting an open border policy between the U.S. and Mexico. Comforting, isn't it?

I repeat....The Attorney General of the United States Alberto Gonzales is a member of La Raza. La Raza is a radical communist based group promoting an open border policy between the U.S. and Mexico. Comforting, isn't it?

we need to pass laws that hold employers of immigrents accountable for all medical bills , back taxes , etc.. of all employees found to be illegal
but most of all we need to inforce the laws we already have, if we had done that from the start we wouldnt be in the mess we are now...

And I will keep posting it over and over and over again. Illegals have ZERO rights under the Constitution. They should be arrested and deported - PERIOD! Anyone entering the country illegally should be immediately arrested, fingerprinted, photographed and deported. If they are caught entering illegally a second time, they should be thrown in jail indefinitely. Any employer employing an illegal should be fined $500,000 per instance and the offending person who hired them should be thrown in jail - PERIOD!

Oneness: Can you give us the breakdown of illegal immigrants by nationality please? Or I could - "The INS estimated that there were 7 million illegal aliens residing in the United States in January 2000. According to INS, 69% of this unauthorized immigrant population was from Mexico." Since then this figure has intensified to the current estimated 11million with Mexico being the major point of entrance for illegals to enter into the country illegally.
Also please tell me of another country where they have 5% of the total population being illegal immigrants and they do nothing about the situation?

For the United States, this makes the question of Mexican immigration within the borderland different from that of Mexican immigration to places well removed from it. In fact, it makes the issue of Mexican migration different from all other immigrations to the United States. The current congressional debate is about "immigration" as a whole, but that makes little sense. It needs to be about three different questions:
1. Immigration from other parts of the world to the United States
2. Immigration from Mexico to areas well removed from the southern border region
3. Immigration from Mexico to areas within the borderlands that were created by the U.S. conquests
Treating these three issues as if they were the same thing confuses matters. The issue is not immigration in general, nor even Mexican immigration. It is about the borderland and its future. The question of legal and illegal immigration and various solutions to the problems must be addressed in this context.
