So true Jim, the Canadians are happy to live on goverment owned land , throw in a little military support when necessary and winter in the USA if wealthy. No one to invade their borders unless a draft is underway. Truth be known they have their own immigration problem

Pat: at the rate it is going the approiate thing to do someday is just reverse the border guard.

I think I need to clarify...

The problem is not with the 4th amendment, the problem is the way the government has run rough-shod all over it, and many of the rest of them too... :-(

BTW, there is absolutely nothing unconstitutional about protecting out borders. In fact just the opposite should be inferred. The government is acting *UNCONSTITUTIONALLY* by failing to control the borders.

Personally, I'm sick and tired of every politico that fails to uphold their oath of office, because ignoring the laws has conveniently become the path
of least resistance.

It's time to form the "HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE PARTY" whose charter should be : {queue the creepy music}

"With intent and authority to punish those politicos that screwed us all"
-- or -- {switch music to Rocky & Bullwinkle theme}
"You can run, but you can't hide."

I,m with Greg and Rex on this one, I have many Hispanic friends that were born and raised here. I ran a business on the Westside of KC for 16 years,wich is mostly a Hispanic area, I was much more welcome to the community than the illegals that where attracted to the area.

Some of the sanctuary cities offer little or no help to the illegals, but sure can criticize Arizona .

Well said Greg ! that's a big problem with the feds there are laws for immigration that are not enforced , seems turning a blind eye is the way to go. i have no problem with any one who wants to come her to immigrate the legal way.
have you ever wondered how the people feel ,the ones who come here legally and get there citizenship as opposed to the illegals who get a free ride health care , schooling , ect. If people would take the time to study the bill as opposed to believing what the liberal media is saying, The bill in my opinion is not so racist or full of propaganda.
Mike you have no idea how life is until you have lived in a border state . it doesn't matter show me your passport or papers or visa .

Mike ,
I live in AZ and also have traveled to 40 other countries in this world. There is no one running around demanding papers from people on the street, however enforcing the laws that are on the books already, is not "plain unconstitutional and immoral", it is following the rule of law set down in writting from our nations foundation so that we would be a law abiding nation. When I travel abroad I am always supposed to have my visa and passport to show I am in the country legally. Why should our nation be different. The problem we have is we offer illegal or "undocumented " alliens welfare once they arrive. My wife and mother in law both immigrated legally, and there are laws made for legal immigration. Follow the LAW and there is no problem.

Hey Mike,

So I guess you're capitulating to the path of lease resistance. If a law is broken enough times the enforcement of that law should be abandoned.

I doubt that is what you really think.

I have no problem with immigrants or immigration, as long as both are *legal*. What has happened is that a few violators have spoiled the situation for the rest that chose to comply with the law.

If there was a way to purge the illegal population, then I'd be right there on a soapbox defiantly burning my papers in protest! We all agree that there is a problem with the 4th amendment. I also suggest that we fix it, but if an investigation based on a "reasonable suspicion" results in deportations, I really can't say that the outcome is unwelcome.
