#1 Now if the Republicans will just build the fence. I am at the point that if the Government won't enforce the current laws and defend our borders, then I would prefer to see us annex Mexico outright and throw the current corrupt Mexican government into prison.

#3 thank God these rallies are backfiring for them.

People say before we talk about reforms, we ought to enforce the law."

Hell yeah!

#4 Beautiful. My opinion of the average American is inching up right along with these polls. If the will to build the wall emerges soon, and we do it, then we will have taken the first giant step toward staving off one of the many potential disasters looming from anti-American interests within our borders. And since most of those are in league, all will be weakened by it - and America will be strengthened.

Is this the return of Common Sense, or is that too optimistic?

#6 Its time to take back the debate by ending the farce that these are immigrants in the traditional sense of the word. They are economic refugees. Immigrants adopt their new country and proudly display their colors. The refugees, here only for economic gain, flaunt their allegiance to a foreign nation and have to be chided by their handlers to hide their true beliefs.

Refugees dont wait for legal processing and receive differing treatment within the host country than émigrés. That is an international standard. Wonder how effective the national government would be in actual enforcement if refugee cards rather than immigrant cards were distributed and all local and state governments could charge back to the national government the expense of medical, educational, and law enforcement costs. When the federal budget suddenly would become a black hole taking millions upon millions from pet projects, pork, and other constituent demands, Id bet the issue would get serious attention.

Remember the refugees from Haiti? What was Clintons response? More military, abet the Coast Guard, between the source of the flight and Florida. Finally, military intervention.

The whole dialogue starts to change when the word refugee replaces immigrant. At least itll be a tag that will start to make the pride, of the governments south of the border, squirm.

#7 DB - exactly right. I was wondering how much the city of Boston paid for that 'rally' of ours last week (I couldn't find anything, and I'm sure the Boston Globe would bury it in the nether regions of the Metro section). Naturally, they screwed up the evening commute for thousands who likely won't be celebrating diversity anymore, lol.

#8 I'm not a big fan of polls - but this is really bad news for the Democrats since Republicans are completely ticked at their reps lack of spine on this issue. Yet, despite that fact, it still translates into a huge hit for the Dems.

That says something - none of it good for the Democrats who have been pandering to the natives on this issue.
