ICE Enforcement Raid in Hawaii The spread of Mexican and other illegal workers has spread widely throughout the United States "Every job held by an illegal alien is a job taken from a U.S. citizen ." "The lure of employment is one of the most significant factors fueling illegal immigration. Every job held by an illegal alien is a job taken from a U.S. citizen or legal resident of this area." Duhhhhhhhhh! Do you think? Whatever gave ICE the impression that jobs would be magnet for illegals to INVADE? My question is: How did illegals get onto the islands without going through customs and immigration? DUH! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 6, 2008 01:57 PMHot Chile Pepper said:" It will all be over by next year anyway because what ever canidate wins for president will bring the amnesty to the illegals." You mean the way "I never met an illegal alien I didn't like Dubya" did? Posted by: Ali on May 6, 2008 02:26 PMHOT TAMALE: IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS And when you and youy anarchists try to pass another Uncomprehensible Immigration Bill past us voters on talk radio and blogs; you and your open border organised crime will be backing unemployed Senators and Congressmen. Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 6, 2008 02:44 PMHot Chile Pepper: You are obviously an idiot! Jobs during an economic slowdown are a zero sum game. As the good jobs are taken pressured citizens will take less desireable jobs rather than go bankrupt. The illegals get in the way by lowering wages and taking jobs that should go to US Citizens. Secure the borders, enforce existing employment laws and deport illegal aliens!!! Posted by: HAD IT on May 6, 2008 02:47 PMWATCH OUT HOT CHILE, THE ICEMAN A COMETH! Posted by: American Me on May 6, 2008 02:56 PMHey, Chile Pepper, Maybe you lived too long under a dictator, but in this country, it is not the President who makes legislation. In case you didn't notice, in 2006 there was change in leadership in the House. Did we see anything come out of that body to legalize illegals? They have to run every two years, so we don't even have to bother with recall or impeachment. And as the economy gets worse, more Americans will get angry with those taking our jobs, the few that are left here. Posted by: Marianne on May 6, 2008 03:17 PMHot Chile Pepper: You and the pompuous A-hole foreigners are the mindless thugs, thinking you can just come in here and tell us how it's going to be. Any politician who doesn't do the will of the AMERICAN people, will be out on their a**. Illegals Go Home! We don't need you. We don't want you. Losers. Posted by: Born American on May 6, 2008 03:36 PMGee! I didn't think they'd swim THAT far! Posted by: June on May 6, 2008 05:13 PMBorn American, well said. I hope Americans wake up one day and stop allowing these stupid politicians to push them around and steal their taxes in the process to help everyone and anyone but AMERICANS. WE NEED TO WAKE UP!!!!! Posted by: Bobby on May 6, 2008 06:57 PMAmericans no longer have an excuse. They need only refer to, and observe what has happened to Los Angeles, California and indeed, most of California. It is firmly under the control of Mexican nationalist politicians, like the Mayor of Los Angeles , and other Mexican Nataionalist Politicians who hav burrowed into and taken up residence at the State capital of Sacramento. Bilingualism is something all of the Mexican Nationalist politicians in California push. It is hard for Americans who do not speak Spanish, regardless of race or culture ot get a job. THE RECONQUISTA IS ALMOST A DONE DEAL. Whatever State you live in, accept the fact that California should be a lesso and a warning to you. Only fools would reject such valuable lessons. Posted by: Bobby on May 6, 2008 07:53 PMClearing the Air on Immigration and the Environment "It seems to me that if we are to have a useful debate about "Funny, but I do not see very many Latinos driving luxury SUVs or living large in McMansions. And we certainly have many environmental problems in areas of the U.S. that are not primary destinations for newcomers. Yes, first generations born to immigrants will likely emulate the excesses of the lifestyle we Americans think we are entitled to, but then that means our problem is really bigger than immigration." If the author of this article doesn't see many illegals perhaps he should try looking in an emergency room EVEN FAIR DOCUMENTS 87% OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION OVERPOPULATION IS LEGAL/ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS And I imagine the other 13% is the illegal anchor babies. The baby boomers are environmental kings and queens, we kept population America on a positive environmental decline, until unplanned growth screwed up the positive trends. Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 6, 2008 12:01 PMIllegal aliens contribute to a lot of the destruction of the American environment. Beside the trash and human waste left in our deserts, they crowd our highways causing increased air pollution. The situation is out of control here in Texas and the politicans just want the taxpayers to keep paying for the benefits received by these illegal leeches. Posted by: Rick S on May 6, 2008 01:40 PMMORE PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN NONSENSE! Posted by: American Me on May 6, 2008 02:58 PMThe only people I see in the USA who have a sense of entitlement are the people who who break the law and/or live off the taxes of others. The only unsustainable lifestyles on planet earth are subsidy, lawlessness and overpopulation. Posted by: Bill Dexter on May 6, 2008 03:37 PMThey refuse to see overpopulation & its link to immigration. They would rather just play the race card! Posted by: Norm on May 6, 2008 05:03 PMIf the author would go and look in the areas where these illegals reside he would see the old abused rusted vehicles. lawns burning up and rubbish everywhere. These do gooders do not want to see whats going on inthe real world. Posted by: ALOHA on May 6, 2008 05:35 PMHe doesn't see illegals driving big SUVs? I guess he's never been to Southern California. The preferred vehicle seems to be a pickup truck, the bigger the better. They also tend to drive older vehicles that emit more pollution, especially when you live closer to the border. They tend to have many more children, using more resources, etc. The argument that they are poorer, so therefore, they use less resources, is absurd. The open borders liberals can't take the truth. Maybe someone should give them a tour of the border to see the environmental damage. Posted by: viva la migra on May 6, 2008 06:18 PMBy the way, how many illegals belong to environmental groups? In San Diego, the amount of trash, graffitti and other problems increases with more immigration. Posted by: viva la migra on May 6, 2008 06:20 PMWhat a stupid article Posted by: Aaron on May 6, 2008 06:22 PMThe SIERRA CLUB IS A GOOD ORGANIZATION TO THROW YOUR MONEY DOWN THE SEWER ON SINCE THEY DON'T CARE ONE BIT ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. IF YOU ARE AN ENVIRONAMENTALIST AND SUPPORT THIS BOGUS OUTFIT YOU ARE DELUDED. Posted by: Bobby on May 6, 2008 06:59 PMYeah, this journalist seems to have a point of view he wants to make clear. That illegal immigrants who live in the U.S. aren't doing a darn thing that could ever be a problem to us. But it already has and he has left out many factors that his opponents see has an issue. Like overcrowding, cities like LA are seeing their budgets colapse and they don't like to mention that the problem may be because they didn't have the correct information on how many people their county could support. Instead, they open subsidies to everyone then worries about it later. When a city has to take care of the needs of people who weren't accounted for or aren't supposed to be here, the costs for water, sewer, highways, electricity, healthcare, schools, and court costs add up quickly. Most of these people don't pay taxes and add to the population as soon as they can. I don't think that we should have to see our country over populated at the hands of illegals. My kids shouldn't have to sacrifice for the needs of foreigners who refuse to respect us. We have been used and abused for too long by people who think that we have to obligation to take care of their needs even if they refuse to take care of the needs of the people who are supposed to be in charge of allowing immigration or visa issues. I wonder how many fires that have been caused by illegals in CA. I wonder how much it costs the people who have to deal with the trash they leave behind. I wonder how much they take for the benefit of their citizen born children from the taxpayers. I wonder how much income they are claiming and how much they are actually getting. I wonder if the water supply in someplaces are suffering because of the fact that there are so many people living in the area who aren't supposed to be here. I wonder when people are going to start to say no when the counties want to raise taxes because of the needs of the schools because they have so many new students. ETC. ETC. Posted by: joeyindc on May 7, 2008 08:58 AMForget immigration and the environment. Let's give Doug Moss a medal for being such a paragon of moral virtue. Agree with Bill Dexter & Aaron. I see more immigrants driving new cars/SUVs than others. They have the jobs, the money and the entitlements here in So. CA. V Posted by: Vickie on May 7, 2008 09:48 PMMcCain Launches Hispanic Outreach "John McCain reached out to Hispanic voters on Monday as he There are 30 million Illegals in this country and they don't live in the shadows!!! Only and US Senator who does not have a clue what is going on would make those kind of statements!
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs 3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. 4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! 5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for 6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. 8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for 10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's 11. During the yea r of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal 12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost 13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances 14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Well, lets see. I found an online biography of John McCain that said he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1982 and then the Senate in 1986. That means he was around for the 1986 amnesty. So he was among the crowd that promised us there would be no more amnesties. You don't suppose thats why his proposed 2007 amnesty was renamed to something not-an-amnesty? I wonder what the voters would have said back in 1986 if they had been told that the amnesty for 3.5 million illegals would lead to a legalization (with some small penalties) for millions twenty years or so later, but we just wouldn't call it an amnesty. I think John McCain is just another political illusion. Posted by: James on May 6, 2008 11:27 AMPutting messages out in Spanish is typical of the pro-amnesty crowd. If these "voters" are legally here they should know English and want to assimilate into our society. Why cater to them? Why not aid in their assimilation by continuing to campaign in English and English only? This buffoon is going to be the downfall of the United States. He is a traitor to all that is American so far as I am concerned. . . and I am retired military, too, so I can say that! I am also a taxpayer. Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 6, 2008 11:33 AMRINO JUAN McAMNESTY WILL NEVER GET IT! Republican lawmakers didn`t kill his amnesty bill, the American people did... So McAmnesty is basically saying, give them amnesty, and they`ll vote republican, thats a bunch of b.s.!... This whole hispanic swing vote is also a bunch of b.s.. The hispanic vote is small, because alot don`t even vote, and many are illegal aliens and can`t. It`s mostly propaganda from the left wing MSM, and the pro-illegal alien gang. IT`S PANDERING AT IT`S FINEST! Posted by: American Me on May 6, 2008 11:38 AMSo yet another divisive move by the "Juan". He must feel fairly comfortable in his position, but I believe he is alienating the citizens he should be supporting. Assimilation into society is paramount- makes you wonder, why would he vote for English as a "unifying" language if he's going to pander to hispanics? Posted by: takn on May 6, 2008 11:45 AMGood, let the weasel traitor whine to the illegals for money, it will be a cold day in hell when I will give his campaign any. Posted by: jmac on May 6, 2008 12:00 PMMCCAIN SHOULD GO BACK TO PANAMA WHERE HE WAS BORN He could be an anchor baby there. Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 6, 2008 12:03 PMJust when you thought a politician couldn't descend any lower... I remember when Presidential candidates from both parties competed for the votes of American citizens. Appealing to the hopes and dreams that could inspire and unite...Americans. Any pandering to racial supremacy groups, would have killed their campaign and their ambitions dead in its tracks. And attempting to legitimize the socialist/marxist voters of another nation so they could participate in our elections would have landed one in prison. Takn is right. McCain is comfortable because he doesn't need republicans to win. But if things get dicey, watch him toss out a bone or two. Don't be distracted. Bush III will make sure America gets HIS message this time...in spades. No borders, no enforcement, nothing but amnesty. Wish Angus and Critter would chime in on this one. Here is what 21st century America is becoming- America is becoming the resort, vacation place (in a few exclusive places for the extreme wealthy. Regular non elite Americans will never see or experience these locations. The rest of our nation is functionally dead and will be a third world hole. Robin Leech should administer the oath of office for the president as he (she) will only represent the top of the food chain wealthy. I mean, probably even Haiti, has some exclusive beach area where the extremely greedy valueless self-centered rich go to- the other 99.9% of the country is hell on earth and Haiti is the vision of what current semi literate "president "Bush has for 21st century once first world America. Bush 111- McCain The Straight Crap Talker- will use military force if necessary to bring about the North American Union. Posted by: Future Day Laborer on May 6, 2008 01:50 PMMcCain, Bush, the C of C, and many others believe that by giving Amnesty to 20,000,000 or so illegal aliens, will lock those now working in jobs that "Americans won't do" into those jobs permanently. Come on John McCain, open your eyes. As soon as they get their legal work permits they will head for jobs in all of the trades, in office jobs, and by moving to cities where Spanish speakers congregate will qualify for many jobs that English only speakers are not considered. What is almost certain to happen, is that on the day the Amnesty bill is signed into law, a mad rush from both the South and North borders will make the Oklahoma land rush of the 1890s look like a walk in the park. Another 10,000,000 or more illegals will show up with computer generated fraudulent documents attesting to their many years in the U.S. As Homeland Security collapses under the pressure to give all 30,000,000 temporary visa documents forthwith, a massive fraud will occur. Exactly the same thing happened after the 1986 Amnesty, when tens of thousands were given Amnesty based on totally fraudulent applications. At that time Pres. Bill Clinton ordered the head of INS to grant all of the cases in question. If there are 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 illegal aliens from over 120 countries looking for Amnesty, it will require an organization of 50,000 or more to review documents, take finger prints, review criminal records, conduct interviews and otherwise process the massive amount of documents. What nonsense. And yet all three of the bozos running for President want to do this. My choice is likely to be the Constitution Party. Posted by: Jersey Joe on May 6, 2008 02:50 PMThe Minuteman Project also announced that McCain will be attending a La Raza convention in San Diego on July 14th. For Shame you traitor! I hope he loses this election. Posted by: Born American on May 6, 2008 03:30 PMJuan McAmnesty is at it again! Does this guy represent American citizens or illegal alien leeches? Posted by: Rick S on May 6, 2008 04:06 PMTHE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY OPEN BORDER LOONS LIKE MCAMNESTY, AND THE NEOCONS! Posted by: Independent Voter on May 6, 2008 04:09 PMThere is not a person runningfor President i the two party system that I would vote for. I hope that Ron Paul is still hanging in there. Posted by: ALOHA on May 6, 2008 05:42 PMJersey Joe, unfortunately, you are probably right in what you say. Scary, isn't it, knowing one of the major three, will likely be our new president, taking us down the road of no return. I shudder to think what this country will be like in a decade or so, because our politicians are useless, spineless and self-serving. McCain is the worst with his "they're children of God, BS!" Posted by: Born American on May 6, 2008 06:52 PMJohn,"Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for fifty dolllars an hour" McCain, is a joke, bad for the nation, and a liberal in conservative clothing. He would give away the whole nation. Let's face it, we have three flakes that they are trying to get us to vote for. Write in Dr. Ron Paul. Don't waste your vote. Posted by: Bobby on May 6, 2008 07:01 PMMickey Kaus of Slate on McCain kausfiles: A mostly political Weblog. McCain to GOP: Suckers! He's back touting immigration semi-amnesty. MCCAIN: FROM MICHELL MACKIN BLOG, READ. And now they want Canadians and Mexicans to come on TN VISA and stay here permanently!! 05/06/2008: USCIS Announcement of Proposed Three-Year TN Visa for Canadians and Mexicans As we reported earlier, this proposed rule is scheduled to be published in the federal register shortly. Posted by: Sandy on May 6, 2008 11:56 PMThe only way to get our point of view across to this idiot (Curly, of the three stooges) is to overwhelm his campaign site with Emails telling him he'd better reevaluate his position on illegal aliens and amnesty. His, " I got the message", rhetoric was simply a ploy to make Americans believe he was finally on board with enforcing the rule of law. He and the other two stooges (Clinton and Obama) are all supporting Corporate America in it's zeal for cheap labor and are more than happy to turn their backs on Americans. Bob Hubble, forgive me, but John, "Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for fifty dollars and hour", McCain, is never ever going to change. Just yesterday he dared bring up Comprehensive Immigration reform(AMNESTY) again. How clueless are Republicans anyway. Write in Dr. Ron Paul, keep your self respect and don't waste your vote on one of the three Corporate whores. Posted by: Bobby on May 7, 2008 03:27 PMMcCain is old loser. The GOP/DNC owners (international banks) have put McCain up so conservatives have NO CHOICE. USA appears to be essentially ruled by invisible global body. If there in NO Choice by the People the is NO Democratic Republic. It is easy to see the ruling elitists have determined USA will get amnesty whether the People want it or not. Keep watch over the deceitful traitors on both sides of the politics and it all looks much the same. Vote write in! V Posted by: Vickie on May 7, 2008 10:01 PMWe're already on the way to third world status...todays NY Post reports Bedbugs infesting the subway system..Now you can take a ride with them and then bring them home!!! Thanks Juan McCain and Senor Kennedy...Let's send them packages of bedbugs for their abodes!!! Posted by: Mary on May 8, 2008 03:03 PMMcCain is part of the traitorous group that is out to destroy this nation. He is one of the biggest crooks in politics, bar none. He was involved in the Savings and Loan Fiasco of the eighties, in fact he was one of the Keating Five Senators involved in that scandal, his dealings with Mexican Authorities hav been suspect, he was the other half of the disastrous Kenned-McCain Amnesty attempt. How anyone could trust this McClown is beyond me. I'm not going to waste my vote on McCain, Hillary or Obama and his racist wife. I'm writing in probably Dr. Ron Paul. No more of the choice between two evils cr-p for me. Posted by: Bobby on May 8, 2008 04:34 PMMcCain is where he is now, (one of the 3 Amigos: Bush: Feliz Cinco De Mayo "President Bush wished a gathering of dinner guests a 'Feliz Cinco de Maya' In the last presidential election Hispanic voters were what, SIX percent or so of the electorate? And Republicans are worried about getting half that, or about THREE percent? Meanwhile, kicking the other 94 percent of us to the curb. Posted by: Ali on May 6, 2008 09:58 AMGreat comment Ali... Posted by: takn on May 6, 2008 11:45 AMGREAT TAKES The Latino vote was never the issue, its getting cheap slaves for his elite buddies that is the issue. Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 6, 2008 12:14 PMGood point Ali... These sell-out politicians would rather pander to the miniscule hispanic vote, then the American citizen voters, all just to please their corporate masters with cheap illegal labor! Posted by: American Me on May 6, 2008 02:48 PMJust who do Obama, Clinton, McCain & Bush represent? Have they been elected by illegal aliens or American citizens? None of these politicans care about American taxpayers. They just want us to keep paying taxes to support the illegal leeches. Posted by: Rick S on May 6, 2008 04:11 PMIsn't he sickening?? Posted by: Bobby on May 6, 2008 07:07 PMNow, now, let's not rain on Bush's parade. After all, he's only celebrating HIS country's holiday - which, by the way, is celebrated with more "pomp and circumstance" here than in Mexico. My local market brought in a Mariachi band to entertain. After the 4th rendition of "Rancho Grande," I wanted to belt out "God Bless America," but I think I would have been performing a solo. I asked a store employee to be sure and book a marching band that could play John Phillip Sousa's marches on the 4th of July. He just looked very confused. Posted by: June on May 7, 2008 02:00 PMThe Republican Party had better be concerned with what the majority of Americans think and less of what minorities of any culture think. American Hispanics, Asians, Black, and Whites making up the majority of Americans, are against illegal alien immigration from any foreign country, are of one opinion, secure our borders and ports, reduce the number of legal immigrants entering, and stop all illegal aliens from or stealing our hard earned American tax dollars. Plainly said, enforce the rule of law! This is the message the mush-mouth Republican and Democratic Parties had better listen to! Posted by: Bob Hubble on May 7, 2008 06:54 PMI'M SORRY, IN THE PICTURE, WHICH ONE IS BUSH? Posted by: Bob Hubble on May 7, 2008 08:28 PMIS THE MEXICAN GROUP GOING TO PLAY AT THE WEDDING? YES: $ .50 AND HR. Posted by: SUSAN MARIANO on May 7, 2008 10:19 PMBush I created NAFTA then GOP tricked Clinton into passing it and Bush II was the pawn for Mexican Pres Fox. They are all pawns to global agencies and have done nothing for American citizens. They removed our jobs and taxed USA to death to pay for worldly causes while USA was stripped of manufacturing profit producingcenters for workers replaced by immigrant slaves. It is UnConstitutional! V Posted by: Vickie on May 7, 2008 10:30 PMVickie, correct!! They have done NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY, NOTHING, for the people who have paid the taxes, fight the wars, and have a history in this nation--NOTHING!!!!!! Their whole attitude has been to revere any drunken bum who comes stumbling across the border more than the Americans I listed above. Pathetic excuses for leaders.

in recent years. The extent of that spread is documented in a just completed ICE raid in Hawaii against the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and the Cheeseburger Island Style and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants in Wailea and Lahaina, Hawaii. Twenty-two illegal immigrant workers were apprehended. The Maui News quotes Wayne Wills, special agent in charge of the ICE office of investigations in Honolulu as commenting, "The lure of employment is one of the most significant factors fueling illegal immigration. Every job held by an illegal alien is a job taken from a U.S. citizen or legal resident of this area."
immigration and the environment we need parties to the discussion who have some depth of analysis—or who are willing to talk about it at all. Right now we don’t seem to have either. Anti-immigration folks like to rattle off stats about rampant sprawl, traffic growth, increasing emissions—and anecdotes like our 'paving over an area the size of Delaware every year' --and then conclude that it is all due to immigration," says Doug Moss in E Magazine. 
sought to win over a constituency that has moved away from his Republican Party but could prove key in swing states in a close U.S. presidential election in November. The Arizona senator's campaign launched a Spanish language Web site to mark the Mexican Cinco de Mayo festival and McCain told reporters that 'everything about our Hispanic voters is tailor-made to the Republican message,'" Reuters reports. "Hispanic support for the Republican Party has ebbed in recent months, following a bruising battle over illegal immigration. Republican lawmakers sank a comprehensive immigration bill last June that would have created a path to citizenship for many of the 12 million mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants living in the shadows in the United States."
Monday in his final White House celebration of the Mexican holiday _ slightly erring in his Spanish, but serving up a reminder of how he snared Hispanic votes in the last presidential election," the Washington Post writes. "Bush has held Cinco de Mayo celebrations since arriving at the White House in 2001, in part as a symbol of the priority he gave the U.S. relationship with Mexico and his effort to curry favor with the Hispanic community. But as he departs, the Republican Party is anxious about losing Hispanic votes in the November elections. Some Hispanics feel anti-immigrant sentiment has become anti-Hispanic as well."
