I feel that many Republicans will seek to mobilize popular outrage against any effort to legalize unauthorized immigrant workers while so many Americans are out of jobs.

In a climate where the Ku Klux Klan uses the immigration “threat” to recruit members and neo-Nazis continue to market a computer game where the goal is to shoot Mexicans crossing the border, there is little doubt that these are hard times for immigrants and their allies.
.
As the xenophobes of primetime (Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, etc.) continue to preach their endless streams of lies and self-perpetuating panic, the situation is becoming worse for perceived foreigners. The ILLEGAL LATINO AND CARIBBEAN REALLY HAITIAN community in particular, has become a target for anti-immigrant hate. In fact, FBI data continues to list Latinos AND haitians as fastest growing target for hate crimes; and the number of incidents continues to rise.
.
Clearly, the anti-immigrant climate is leading to further divisions between communities and it is not unreasonable to think that it’s leading to violence. The majority of Americans see immigration as a positive thing, but the small minority who follow Lou Dobbs and company are dangerous and merciless.
.
I was happy to hear that at least one candidate running for President publicly pointed out the dangerous effects of anti-immigrant rhetoric. Speaking at a rally in Florida last weekend, Barack Obama even called out some of the hate mongers by name.
.
“A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There’s a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic and haitian people doubled last year,” Obama said. “If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it’s not surprising that would happen.”

My Dad & Brother own a Farm in Illinois, to hire immagrant legally, they have to pay them a hourly wage which is more than min. wage. Pay their houseing & electric, They just recieved a letter tht their hourly wage is being increased to 15.50 per hour plus the housing & electric. They only reason they were hired is because he can’t get american kids to work on a farm, they are to spoiled to work hard.

All those whom only assume the worst of illegal immigrants I just want to say that it’s not your fault that you are sooooooo ignorant. No one can say that it’s not about racism because unless you have actually walked in to their lives and seen what they go through just to be here then you’re just plain ignorant about the WHOLE topic and it is just a fact of you’re racism. Lies about how they don’t pay taxes and free hospital care. Selfish you are just to think that way. I know plenty of illegal people who pay taxes with a form called ITIN. The facts are they want to do things the right way the need the opportunity that or immigrant family from way way back had. (If you call a Mexican a wet back for crossing the rio grande what to we call our ancestors who crossed the ocean to come all this way to claim land that never even belonged to them). And the whole thing about free hospital care that’s just a question of a Quality of life issue you think your unpaid medical bills or billions of Americans who do the same thing because they won’t get a job wont do what it takes to get one, sorry excuses for why they cant find a job. I should know! There are only a big number of people in my family that are exactly that way. And the company they keep do the same. Having all the opportunity in the U.S. to do what they want and don’t take it. And I KNOW the people I speak of are not the only people like that in the U.S. So what makes they’re lives and others whom are legal or U.S. born people who don’t pay a nickel for they’re hospital bills, what makes there live any more valuable. The illegal family’s I know make payment arrangements with my help with the hospitals.
There are a big number of illegal immigrants that when to the war in Iraq because they believed in the American dreams that much. Even though they were not in legal standing. And you could say that “yeah but no one told them to or they shouldn’t have” just cause you don’t believe in illegal immigrants or choose to stand outside your racist box for a moment to see that some of those illegal people died protecting you and possibly a u.s. citizen solder even though it wasn’t for them selves but believing in the same thing we do. “Freedom”. I can not put you in the position of seeing what’s real with illegal people. I do not believe that drug traffickers should get a way with it or murders or rapist est… But there are millions of good illegal immigrants who want to do the right thing. Who are more then willing to do what it takes to be here legally. But not at the expense of letting their families go hungry or naked. I can’t say I don’t blame them I to Will do what it takes to protect my children and family from those things. And I call B***S*** on people claiming that illegal people are stealing their jobs. Okay so right know the economy is not so great right now but if you want it take it, they have the jobs Americans think they are too good for. Truth is you don’t want them to become legal here in the U.S. Not because of all those things but because they will haul a** to get educated and rise up. Scary huh to think with all the high school drop outs and really young parents whom dropped out will be replaced with people who really want that education that are now being taken for granted by U.S. Citizens. Pissed off cause the want it more then them. Its Illegal America that are watching what’s being taken for granted and then wanting then striving for it then getting it and then being told they stole it how dare they. That’s Right I Call B***S*** on all of you. Ignorant folk of America They won’t stop Striving Running and doing what it takes to get her or be here. NOT ALL of you can say you are doing the same.
Just incase you are wondering I am an American born citizen. And I know by experience and not what I read or think but by being there and actually knowing it.

E-Verify Program for employment is threatened The department of Homeland Security has a great new program that allows employers to almost instantly determine employment eligibility. About 99.6 percent of all work-authorized employees verified through E-Verify are verified without having to take any type of corrective action. This is a program that works well. If every business in America used this system, all illegal immigrants would become unemployable and have to return to their homelands.
