Why are the Democrats being so blind to the immigration problem?
I just watched a video of a minutemen protest at Colombia University. Has anyone else seen it??? Look on u-tube. It's pathetic to see the way the students are acting...

It's sad sad days when they quit teaching geography in school...

You need to re watch that video as you must of missed something or had no sound. The independants is who stormed the stage and caused all that....not the democrats or republicans. The independants are the ones who are saying, let the illegals stay, the other main parties are both for not letting them stay.

Everyone agrees there is a problem. It's the possible solutions that are the subject of debate.

Republicans are in charge of the country remember? Why have they been so blind to allow at least 6 million immigrants to cross? They didn't have the means to attempt any kind of a solution for over 5 years when they controlled the executive and legislative branches?

Because they see the immigrants as people they can ensnare in their web of social programs so that they can increase their voting base. The Republicans want free labor, they have only recently discovered that illegal immigration is bad. They were forced into this by talk radio and the looming election.
7 :
Those were students, not particularly Democrats. But if you would like to focus on the root of the problem, neither party is paying much attention to the problem because the money that wealthy people save by hiring illegal aliens makes them wealthier. Wealthy people support both parties. Therefore neither party will make a REAL effort to stop it completely.

Democrats want Open Borders because illegals vote Democrat. The Democrat Party already has thousands of illegals registered to vote. (voter fraud, of course.)
9 :
They are blind to a lot of things. Immigration, because all people should have equal rights; even if they are criminals, illegal immigrants, losers, and it will never stop. Maybe it will stop when our country is so OVER POPULATED that the US just caves in.
10 :
I did see it and yeah it was beyond pathetic. Those students just want people to have braces on the brain and puppet their ideology of what they perceive as truth. Those who taught them to be subjective in thoughts should be ashamed.

George W. Bush makes a mockery of our nations laws on illegal immigration,, he wants to give 12 million Mexicans, amnesty,, and a 700 mile fence on the border

The Democrats AREN'T blind to the immigration problem... The dim-witted Dems want the invasion of wetbacks to continue so that the dim-witted Dems can try to foist of illegal voting as somehow valid... Scratch any voter fraud problem over the last thirty years and odds are there will be dim-witted Dems involved on both a local scale and on the national scale...

It's very simple.Democrats especially the liberal ones need as many people in the country that need governments largess for them to remain in power.And undocumented illegal aliens make up a huge part of that group,For if everybody in the country was here legitimately working on the books with proper documentation then the democrats would become irrelevant and they are not going to let that happen.

That's your liberal college professors for you, the kids come out brain washed. They were also on Hannity&Columbs the other night and they acted just about the same. That is the next generation of Judges, Ceo's, politicial leaders, and media. Just look at the leaders we have now and the media, those were the 60's college brats, the ones that use to say don't trust the establishment or anyone over 30, now they turned out to be the greediest. And the next generation will be worse.

This is my personal opinon. Let me start off by saying that I am not a racist. I believe that you should not be in the U.S. as an immigrant unless you came here legally. This means with a visa. If you are not here with the proper documents, then leave. The claim that the illegal aliens are not criminals is laughable, what part of the word illegal do they not get? I also have an objection to the fact that a pregnant Mexican woman can come here and have her baby. This makes the kid an automatic citizen. I believe that again unless you are a citizen, a legal resident alien, or a legal visitor that having a baby should not automatically entitle you to stay. In order to do that however, we would need to ammend the Constitution, i.e the 14th Ammendment.

My respect for Colombia has gone down to zero.If an invited speaker cant talk about the subject he was invited to speak about without being attacked by racists. Its time to rethink a lot of policy's for that school and its faculty. The Hispanic Studies group that charged from their seats ,yelling curse words,obscenities,and even called one of the Minute Men ,who is black,a Ni****. They had absolutely no respect for the speakers who were older than most of them,or for the University.They did one thing that was positive,they convinced a whole lot of people that the illegal immigrant creates problems for America.Each time theses Marxists radical groups like La Raza engineer a set up like this ,they make more enemy's of legal voting Americans.Theses fools,don't seem to know they are hurting their own cause with this kind of lawlessness,along with the desecration of an American flag,makes voters angry....

It isn't Democrats. It isn't Republicans. It is an ugly assembly of both parties who don't seem very interested in listening to their constituents on the issue of ILLEGAL aliens. If we are lucky - after the first week of November they will be looking for work.
19 :
It's libs... they believe in freedom of speech until it's YOUR turn to get up and speak.
20 :
I can't honestly say Either party has stepped up like they Both should be. That's exactly why this November we gotta put party's aside and Vote for the toughest person on Illegal Immigration. Find out Exactly were both parties stand in your district and Vote accordingly.

I do not understand why America is selling out to Mexico!!! They are the cause of our Education problem, our Health Care problem, and our Drug problem!!!!

They are not blind, they are greedy and power hungry. They intend for the illegals to vote in this election and to take control of the country. They have lost most of their victims from the 60's, everyone grew up and got a job and weren't victims anymore so they have to find new victims, the illegals. Screw what Americans think about it, the dems just want control of the country. So how are you going to vote?
