Heather MacDonald, Manhattan Institute:
The breakdown of our immigration laws has come to this: Not only do illegal aliens have a de facto right to live here without penalty, but they also have the right, it seems, to live here without having their piece of mind disturbed by the possibility that they face any chance of being deported. This sense of entitlement does a great injustice to the thousands of law-abiding foreigners who are patiently waiting to enter the country legally, and it makes a mockery of our laws.
Read the whole transcript of a panel discussion held on the new book The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today's, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, October 30, 2007.
I remember those Hwy signs when I lived in Chula Vista.
In 2003 the Pensacola area had a low Hispanic population. After Hurricane Ivan the Hispanic population rose at such a rate that our grade "A" schools were lowered to "B" because the non-English speaking students (legal & illegal) were not keeping up. What?
Now we, the longtime residents are being punished and blamed for this.
I'm confused.

The illegal immigration issue is destroying our country. I hope that have you been able to read Michelle Malkins's website about this. I can't remember if you saw the Absolute map ad but what a bunch of b.s.
