Dole Says More Immigration Help Needed for Cities, States

"If Pender County Sheriff Carson Smith apprehends a criminal who happens to be an illegal immigrant, there's not much he can do. 'Right now we can only do some very fundamental checks with the names that are given to us and the date of birth,' said Smith. 'And the information that's given to us many times is not the correct information we have,'" WWAY-TV reports. "But North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole has a plan to make the correct information available statewide. During a visit to Pender County Saturday, Dole told Sheriff Smith and local media that she wants to give local law enforcement agencies resources, training and jurisdiction to process illegal immigrants who commit crimes--and ultimately have them deported."

THE PENDULUM SEEMS TO BE SWINGING OUR WAY

Its starting to be more and more politically incorrect to support illegal immigration.

The States supporting FAIR are getting the momentum our way and the open border candidates are watching their poll numbers drop.

AgJOBS Expected on the Senate Floor THIS WEEK!

Just a few days ago, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) released a revised version of her AgJOBS legislation. Senate staffers are telling FAIR that they now expect Senator Feinstein and Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) to offer the new language as an amendment to the Farm Bill (H.R.2419) scheduled for the Senate floor THIS WEEK. This is not a surprise to those who have been watching the Senate closely. For over a week now, amnesty advocates have said they intended to bring AgJOBS—another piece of the failed Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill—to the floor. There was some discussion in Capitol Hill newspapers that the downfall of the DREAM Act would discourage Senators Feinstein and Craig from moving forward, but at this point, our sources say all systems are go.

WE DON"T NEED MORE IMMIGRATION (LEGAL OR ILLEGAL) FOR AMERICAN WORKERS

Now, management of farms and produce with better efficiency and brains....immigration of replacement "American managment" might make sense. A lot of our present farm management are a lot of buffoons, if they can't make money without illegal slave labor.

Even our country's bank and mortgage management are an example of this total management joke in America.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on November 5, 2007 11:52 AM

Please TAKE ACTION and start calling the Senators...NO AgJOBS Amnesty! NO means NO!
The cosmetic changes made in attempt to sell this amnesty this are meaningless.

Many Senate offices are saying that the Senator has "no statement" yet on AgJOBS. PLEASE CALL them to let them know the American people will and do not accept this huge, unnecessary amnesty! AgJOBS would be an amnesty for well over 3 million people including family members.

Call the Senate now and call talk radio. Thanks!

The DEMS are in control of congress and the very fact they still can't get their crappy immigration bill passed should open their eyes. If their crappy bill were to actually pass I think you can pretty much kiss the careers of anyone supporting it goodbye. Americans (republicians) will be coming out of the woodwork in droves to get these traitors out of office.

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2007 12:24 PM

The senate traitors will stop at nothing to try and sneak amnesties pass the American people... Call, fax, e-mail these jackals and tell them once again, we don`t want your amnesties... What we want is the border secured, and the current immigration laws enforced, because it works, just look at Oklahoma, illegals are fleeing by the thousands... Our federal government will not enforce, because most of them are lying, pandering traitors!

THROW THE BUMS OUT IN 08!

I believe that these traitors will never give up, they seem to be bound and determined to destroy the American Middle class and with they full blessing and support of El Boosh and his cronies it appears that they may very well succeed. What we need is a new policiacl party that will represent us Americans. The ones we have seem to be our worst enemy!! William Kiker

Posted by: William Kiker on November 5, 2007 12:59 PM

We have millions of legal immigrants, various visa holder, political refugees and numerous others pouring into the country each year. They surely need jobs - so why must we bring illegals in to do the work?

Posted by: June on November 5, 2007 01:03 PM

Just wow. Is amnesty the ONLY business of our Congress? Every day, every week, a new effort.

Truly, this endless, relentless push to reward illegal aliens qualifies as insanity. Isn't there a rehab program for politicians addicted to amnesty abuse? Repeating the same undesirable acts, over and over, are proving that they are unbalanced, and a clear danger to society. Time for involuntary incarceration, white jackets, and psychiatric evaluations before they do any more damage. Feinstein and Craig go first. When their doctors can report they are no longer a threat to the rest of us, and willing to work on something besides amnesty, we could consider letting them out.

Besides, every day that Washington is closed for business, is a good day for everyone else.

WITH ALL THE FREE TIME Softwarengineer AND COMPANY HAVE TO POST BRAINLESS INFORMATION ON THIS BOARD THEY NOW ARE READY TO WORK ON THE FARMS . GO AMERICAN FARM LABOR . YA RIGHT THAT WILL BE THE DAY. ILLEGALS ARE THE ONLY ONES OR PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE UNEDUCATED OR BRAINLESS SO SO EDUCATED PEOPLE THAT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE BRAIN POWER LIKE Softwarengineer AND COMPANY WILL BE THE ONLY ONES TO DO THES JOBS

Posted by: BUSH IS MY MAN on November 5, 2007 01:20 PM

Every american should be concerned about this
AgJobs bill, We do not need this typ of bill or any other bill that they will leed to amnesty.
You see i work in produce for a major grocies
chain and i also do the orders for all produce that we carrie for stock.
And when i do our order, i noticed that about 90%
of our stock comes from other countries.
So i can not figure out why these farmers want more illegal labor when most of produce is not even grown here in the united states.

Posted by: David P. on November 5, 2007 02:06 PM

The key to an agrucultural guestworker program is to institute ultra short term visas - 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, maybe as much as 6 months. This allows a worker to come into the country - perform a harvest or a planting (agricultural work is seasonal - and not year-long), and return to his country to be with his family and spend his money. And such a program must be highly controlled - perhaps including electronic tracking devices.

The current model is having a large pool of desperate, completly willing, totally exploitable, having no rights, having no screening for criminality or disease, constantly replenished, illegal workers.

The current model is to put farm workers on a path to citizenship - so they want to move out of agriculture to construction and other higher-paying jobs. And they are away from their families and home culture for years and decades.

The cost to society is enormous. The business interests merely smile.

Posted by: Kerthialfad on November 5, 2007 02:25 PM

It is my understanding that we already have an ag worker bill without limits, the only thing the farmer must pay "Prevailing wage" and work comp ins. but they don't want to pay that much.

Posted by: jmac on November 5, 2007 04:48 PM

Hey Bush is My Man....
Some of us can actually walk AND chew gum at the same time!!! Unfortunately others like you have brain disorders that prohibit that!

Posted by: Mary on November 5, 2007 07:51 PM

A suggestion to all of the farmers who depend on foreigners to tend their crops--switch to corn or soybeans. Both of these crops are in great demand, and neither is labor intensive.
Because of the ethanol explosion, corn is at an all time high price, and China will buy all of the soybeans you can produce.
Then we can import our lettuce, tomatoes, etc. and the illegal workers will stay at home south of the border.

Voters Say They Want More Done to End Illegal Immigration

"Until Tuesday night, the Democratic presidential candidates had largely ignored the subject of illegal immigration. The topic, Democratic strategists concluded, was fraught with too much potential for alienating general election voters. But after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) struggled to answer a question during Tuesday's debate about whether she supports a proposal to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, the topic burst into the forefront of the primary campaign and exposed a quandary for Democratic candidates, who broadly embrace immigrant-friendly policies," the Washington Post reports. "But unlike the Republicans, who have been very specific in how they would fight illegal immigration, the Democrats have said little except when asked about the issue, not addressing the most explosive elements, such as whether to build a fence on the southern U.S. border or to give immigrants sanctuary in urban areas. 'Any Democrat who tried to use immigration as a wedge issue would find themselves without much of a constituency in the party,' [Pollster] Penn said, explaining why it has not been a hot topic in the Democratic nominating contest."

Isn't this the way of the Democrats? Offer anyone, everything, in the quest for more votes?
As for Hillary, I took her inability to answer a direct question with either "yes" or "no," as a "yes." She will cater to illegal immigrants, giving them a path to citizenship, while saying it's not amnesty because they paid a fine or whatever.
A 18-year old Hispanic said to a group of us the other day, that Hispanics will take over this country with their culture, because we cater to everything they want and ignore other groups. Even he couldn't understand why we print documents in Spanish or provide Hispanics with translators.
America for Americans and enough with this Hispanic BS, already.

I just heard a press conference and the President's mouthpiece stated that some bill or other cost too much to fund. Then why do we always have millions to pour into Mexico or other countries? Is it too much to ask that Americans get the first shot before illegals, corrupt countries and politician's pet projects?

Posted by: June on November 5, 2007 01:06 PM

This is NOT a wedge issue, as far as I'm concerned.
3 days after his re-election, George W. Bush turned his back on the people who put him back in office and has floundered in quicksand on this issue ever since. I will not vote for any candidate, democrat or republican, who will not advocate securing the border and enforcing the law and NO AMNESTY FOR ANY ILLEGALS !!!

It's time for you and me to show all the candidates we mean business. Whether that is showing up at every town hall meeting, every campaign stop, with signs that say NO BORDER SECURITY, NO ENFORCEMENT, NO VOTE FOR YOU !!!

exactly and why is it that the MSM and democrats continue to bury this issue and pretend it is not the primary issue amongst the majority of American citizens?

A few years ago congress lamented the American citizens were uninformed and disengaged from the political process. with the internet we can finally get the real skinny on what is going on and who is at the root of it. now that more of us are becoming engaged the msm and the political parties dodge, bury, distort, ignore and avoid in any manner possible any issue that they do not want us to know about or have an opinion that is contrary to theirs.

both of these parties have got to go or forge them into the one party that they have become and allow us to have a real second party choice.


frankly i have come to believe that the word republican is just a mis-spelling of the word democrat.

I know that some would like to have H*llery win the nomination, but it worries me because it is the specter of her winning the Presidency that is driving Giuliani's polls up. Even my Rep. Senator has endorsed Giuliani. The consensius is that he has the best chance of defeating her in the general election. However even if he could, we would be no better off. All Giuliani offers is the possible retention of power by a wing of the Republican party that is so radical and over the edge that they have come around full circle to the left of the left. We will get the Bush administrations globalist, NAU, New World Order agenda on steroids. I am more worried about Giuliani getting elected than I am about the possiblity of the Witch in the White House. I hope you will read this article.

"In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the laws scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipotent, teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If government becomes a lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law: it invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invites anarchy."

Hey, folks, Hillary has done something wonderfull, that is so rare for politicians. She has told the truth. She is for licenses for illegals, and the complete open borders policy to the world that this would bring about. She is completely in sync with El Presidente Bush, and almost All of the democrats. The issue of who is not for the continuing soveriegnty of this nation is now clear. The Bush neocons, and the Democrats, until they repudiate completely both groups, the public has been put on notice. As a side note, Dr. Ron Paul ,congressman from Texas, broke all online donations records yesterday for his campaign. The so called free media we have, hardly reported it.

Washington Post Editors Blast Candidates' Tough Stance on Immigration

"Anxious about an unpopular president and an electorate trending Democratic, Northern Virginia Republicans devised a Hail Mary strategy in the summer in hopes of averting an electoral rout. In races for state and local offices this fall, they would focus relentlessly on illegal immigration, a festering problem that the federal government has failed to address. And they would do so with little regard for the real-world constraints of state and local officials to address a problem of national scope," the Washington Post says in an editorial.

WE NEED TO VOTE THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING US OUT OF OFFICE IF THEY CONTINUE TO VOTE TO GIVE SPECIAL FAVORS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (CRIMINALS). 10,000 AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND WE NEED TO STOP EMPLOYING THEM AND STOP SUPPORTING THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO GIVE THEM JOBS OVER THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. SO, WHEN YOU CAST YOUR VOTE, DON'T DO IT BECAUSE SOMEONE IS A WOMAN, OF THE SAME FAITH OR COLOR AS YOURSELF... VOTE FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AND NOT AGAINST US.

Posted by: Inez Byrd on November 5, 2007 11:22 AM

WASHINGTON POST IS WRONG

The only constraints on States to enforce federal immigration laws are their phony open border nut hot air.

The States can just ignore the meaningless hot air. Americans are totally immune from serious problems, if they support the Constitutional Laws.

There's nothing the open border nuts can really do to our States enforcing the laws on the books and we should simply ignore them like they ignore our laws setting up their illegal sanctuary States.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on November 5, 2007 12:04 PM

What we need is a third party to represent us Real Americans and do away with the present two that represent the special interest groups that seem to want to destroy the American Middle Class. All that is needed is an honest, honorable,
and a Government that will enforce our laws and protect our borders as required by our laws and the Constitution! Bush and his administration seem to be either too ignorant, stupid or just unwilling to be able to read, understand and enforce our laws and uphold what used to be our Constitution, or what was our Constitution before Bush destroyed it! Bill Kiker

Posted by: William Kiker on November 5, 2007 01:07 PM

Bush is not refusing to support the Constitution because he is stupid. He is doing so because his allegiance is with the neocons and secret clubs that want to do away with our Constitution and Bill of rights because they stand in the way of their ability to USE Government programs and agencies as their private piggy banks to fund more power unto themselves, in order to turn the United States into a country governed by the rich. Bush's allegiance is not with the people of the United States. He and his leaders and followers are conspirators. David Rockefeller, the founder and financier of these groups of self-interested elitists, even admitted this in saying, "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will," he wrote, "if that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
They have almost succeded and will if we elect one more member of the cabal and give them four more years to make their plans a done deal.

Bobby is right the media is open borders all the way. Our local newspaper on Sunday in NH had an article by the Associated Press on the poor plight of an illegal immigrant. The story was based on pure emotion and did not tell about the negative impact of illegal immigration.

I suggest to ALL - Write your to your local newspaper Editor. Write about the human cost, the cost to the taxpayers, and the victims illegal immigration leaves behind. Go to this link for the DHS Border Report. Some good facts.
