Do you think anyone in the State or Federal Government is
genuinely trying to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the U.S.?

I think it's clear that the US government is not concerned with the illegal immigrants in the US. Not only are they sure votes for the Democratic Party, they also pay outrageous taxes to the fed and don't receive any returns like most of us at the end of each year. Now, I'm all for people coming to this country and bettering themselves, but I am confused as to why there are illegal felons here who have committed violent crimes in the United States, but are held and released in the US. It has happened on several occasions that illegals come here, engage in crime and violent behavior, yet the ACLU continues to defend these criminals as "Americans" by virtue and claim that they are protected by our constitution. I totally disagree with that. The illegal family living down the road isn't bothering me. What bothers me are the ones milking our government for money and free healthcare when they have no intention of contributing back to our nation. Obama and Pelosi won't send them back because they are a huge constituency to their party.

Almost all Democrats in Congress and the Obambi administration do not want to stop illegal immigration. To a Democrat, illegal aliens are "undocumented Democrat voters." Obambi and the Dems in Congress intend to grant amnesty to the 20 million illegal aliens in the USA.

Obviously, to a Democrat politician, the best interests of illegal aliens come before the best interests of American citizens.

No way are they trying to stop it. For politicians it's a new voting base. For jails it's a cash cow, charging the federal government for housing Illegals for up to 3 months before they are deported. For smokers a 65 cent tax added to each pack so Anchor babies can get free health care. If they really wanted to get rid of Illegals once and for all here is the way to do it. Give warning that they have 4 months to vacate the united states, At the end of 4 months they will be forcibly removed and all property be confiscated.The government used the same tactic in the 50's and it worked..

After 4 months how will you determine who is here illegally and who isnt? Oh thats right, you have to resort to racial profiling, because someone who is brown and an American citizen still has the burden of proving that he is indeed legal. Meanwhile the illegal alien European or Canadian gets a free pass because of skin color. And as far as your reference to tactic used in the 50's, please research how man AMERICAN citizen's got deported also, based solely on skin color. Your ignorance and intolerance is apalling. I'm sure its safe to assume you call yourself a Christian like all the others, yet you harbor so much hatred in your heart.
