I agree that lawsuits may happen.

p.s. -- given the news about Arizona these days, there are fair academic questions on whether or not Barry Goldwater or John McCain were "native born" American citizens. George Romney [Mitt's dad] was born in Mexico, but was a citizen at birth -- he ran for president.

I couldn't agree more with these posts. Here in KY alone, we have 'London', 'Glasgow', 'Paris', 'Versailles', 'Somerset' and I'm sure there are more. I refuse to carry some document that shows my right to be on a bus, or walking around somewhere. We do not live in some fascist state where our 'papers' can be demanded at any time.

You better believe that the first time my OH gets asked for his proof citizenship, there will be a lawsuit brewing.

I feel that your opinion is clueless, screeching about Lawsuits seems to be the American way when one does not get their way...

I'm sorry, but please explain to me how sitting on a bus/train gives an officer any kind of 'reasonable suspicion' to ask me questions about my status? What crime am I committing that they would be suspicious of? If I'm sitting there, looking out the window, listening to my ipod, what potential crime am I being suspected of? Breathing where I'm not supposed to?

Are you foaming at the mouth, I can deal with you easier if you are.

How was the Glenn Beck Rally? Did he give you a stiffy?

Do you rate Bush over Obama? Really?

Genuine questions.

To be honest with you, looking Latino would provide them with reasonable suspicion considering this day and age we live in, I agree that this is a sad state of affairs but how would you propose in dealing with the the over 12 million illegals who 81% are Hispanics that who are raping our system and destroying our public schools and hospitals, draining state welfare budgets with their anchor babies when this country and its legal citizens are having such a horrible time finding work or getting Govt benefits that they themselves have paid into for many years ? I am tired of the Libs turning their backs on Americans only to support the illegals and their rights ?
The only reason why that disgrace in the White house is supporting them is for future votes... Let's take care of the USA and it's own first. Deport the criminals... Why is it that the Libs are for the rights to People who are braking our Laws ??.. You yourself want to challenge and take on the law all for your so called rights, but you and your kind want to deny myself and my family our rights to living in a country that observes and respects the LAW, I have seen your Opinion on the USA and the Illegal immigrants.. You say we are denying them Basic human rights, I say Bullshit ! Send them back !
Times have changed I am sorry to say, some peoples rights stop where others begin... I prefer to live in a country guided by law and order, not to be able to pick and choose as you go along..

For your viewing pleasure.... some stats that perhaps back up my view, though I am sure the numbers are slightly higher in 2010.
INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants
2006 (First Quarter)

95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens.
75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually
53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.
71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or "transport coyotes".
47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens.
63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens
66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66% 98% are illegal aliens.

BIRTH STATISTICS
380,000 plus "anchor babies" were born in the U.S. in 2005 to illegal alien parents, making 380,000 babies automatically U.S.citizens and, under our laws, entitled to invite the rest of their family to join them.
97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayers.
66% plus of all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

As always, spread the word.

Don't you worry about my stiffy.....

I would much rather have Bush again if I had to choose the lesser of 2 evils, at least with that idiot we knew what he was about.
So far the only thing Obummer has done is to outspend Bush, and Obummer is proving to be at least a better liar then Bush... scary really !

So, is it the money, or the immigrants? Because you know Bush wanted to give them all amnesty, right?

So we get rid of all illegal aliens, and then....

100% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for US citizens.

Actually I thought and still do think Bush was an idiot.... Obummer and his cronies scare the hell out of me.

Example :: Nancy Pelosi called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque ...
Gestapo tactics.... From Obummers cabinet..say it ain't so !!

Let your legislator know: there can be no discussion of "reform" without first securing the borders - for real - and second the elimination, by whatever legal means required, of so-called "birthright citizenship": http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Read this then lecture me about the Constitution.

OK, I'm now confused. You posit an excellent argument for legalization of many aliens in the United States. But you seem to be in contempt of not only Article III, Section 3, but also Article II, Section 2, and Amendment 14, section 1. Inasmuch as the president of the United States, members of Congress, members of the military and all federal employees take an oath to defend and uphold the "Constitution," it appears that you have contempt for all members of the government.

My last stint as a Federal Employee was as a member of the United States Army -- and I took a quite solemn oath to defend the Constitution.

I have the utmost respect for those who take oaths to defend America.

My reading of the history of Germany in the Nazi era indicates that "calling for an investigation" was not a major Gestapo tactic.

I think tyranny comes in when the feds take over banks, car manufacturers, and the world's largest insurance company as obama has. To say nothing of all the people who have been added to the pres' inner circle. We have 'tsars' for almost everything now. It's starting to look like the old soviet union!

"The majority of bailouts came under Bush." hahaha Bullshit !

Not true now! obummer has him beat by TRILLIONS of dollars!
obummer is NOT cleaning up ----- he is making everything worse as he usurps power for himself and the dems!

This might sound like nitpicking but can you please use his real name. You may not agree with his policies but he is still the president and deserves the respect that the office provides.

Anyway, the Islamic community center 2 or 3 blocks away from the former World Trade Center has provided a convenient smoke screen for those Republicans who voted against health benefits for the WTC rescue workers.
