All I know is that woman bothers me...Can't stand to look at her face, something evil about it. In any event, no reason to trust anything that comes out of her mouth, or any other member of the Bush family for that matter.

I'm an immigrant myself. I serve in the Army and got in line . I kept the laws and took out my citizenship after the alloted time. I don't pretend to know all the immigration Laws, they can be very complicated. All my children are Americans and I encourage them to be nice to all people regardless of their Background. Of course, I am diametrically opposed to the Drug Cartels and I am behind the Border patrol a hundred per cent in chasing down these scumbags.

Portia777, we will have plenty of time to roam freely as we did in prehistory as hunter/gatherers once civilizations collapse. Until that time, things will remain a bit more complicated. Here in the contemporary world, Mexico needs to help reduce its illegal migration problem. Indeed, why is it we never hear of ANY efforts by Mexico or other Central/South American countries to try and improve conditions so their citizens would have less incentive to illegally migrate? Naturally, the big, bad US is the bogeyman, trampling the rights of poor, saintly "migrants." We need an above-board, new "Bracero" program to ensure legal workers for US farm labor; deportation of all illegals (AZ is in the forefront of this effort); and harsh penalties for any US employer caught hiring illegal workers. I'm sick of know-nothing bleeding hearts comparing the AZ law to "Gestapo" tactics merely because immigrants are required to provide proof of citizenship when asked. Once the AZ police begin to torture and execute indiscriminately rounded-up Latinos, we can go ahead and call them "Gestapo"!

Mr. Patrick Cooper, what part of "Well, not necessarily..." don't you understand in Mrs. Bush's response? NO she is NOT opposed to the Arizona law!! Daaaahhh - what an embarassment to see in an Irish publication -

My Grandfather immigrated from County Cork legally through Ellis Island. He broke no laws because he respected his adopted country of the United States of America. He wanted to be an American of Irish descent and had much to offer as he was a farmer in Ireland. In order to be a nation secure borders are mandatory in order keep out criminals and terrorists that will harm the American people! This is not an issue of race but the survival of the United States of America. The USA has been invaded and it is ruining out country-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if Laura or anyone else is able to show me where Mother Earth says - she allows only certain people into certain areas of her back,then I might believe in alien illegal immigrants.
That is not so, as Mother earth gives all of us free sovereign human beings the right to roam and live where we choose.
Man- rich men created borders- countries -to keep the slaves imprisoned inside and outside borders. Then in true patriarchal style they use divide and conquer tactics, and we idiots play the game blindly, because we have forgotten who we are and how Mother Nature gives us everything we need for FREE.
An alien is one from a different planet, so who are the real aliens?

The Irish were here legally, they pitched in and made America stronger, though they were certainly not welcomed with open arms. In Ireland, they lay in ditches, dead and starving but though many lived through that they were determined not to be on the dole. The Irish were and still proud people though they lived through hell. The Irish made our country stronger. The Irish did fight for their rights ... they had that right because they were here legally. Knowthyself is right. Many were not here long before they stood up to protect the country. If it were not for them, Gettysburg could certainly have turned out differently. Take a look at what the Mexicans are leaving behind them in the desert. I see no pride, there. If the Mexicans stood up in their own country in the numbers they do here, they just might make their own country stronger. That would help both the United States and Mexico. They are making the border states unsafe for it's citizens. I, too, like Laura Bush, but she really needs to dig under the historical surface. It's simply not as clear cut as "she was said," to have communicated.

I like Laura, but her lineage hadn't brought such trouble with it...not nearly as unwilling to fit in, we became part of and ,for the most part, pertook in the American way....Let the Mexicans do the same....gosh!!

PatriciaHarty .. did you ever think how the illegals manage to contribute to SS? They are using a stolen SS number. No one ever considers the people whose number they use. My friend had hers used and went through h#ll getting it straightened out. As well, do you know how much illegals USE regarding medical care, schooling for their children, food stamps, welfare etc etc. I don't think it equals out. Answer for SS is...put all politicians and public agency workers on it and take away their pensions. It would be fixed quickly!

Your right IrishAndProud to use the the term illegal alien is not demonizing them. the point I am making is that they are demonized by the right wing press calling them "drug runners" and using other emotive terms to minimise their
humanity it's an old trick.And I agree illegal immigration is a problem in the U.S (and Europe). People smugglers and employers who hire "illegals"should face the full force of the law as a deterrent. Illegal immigration is an age old problem we can only hope to curtail it.

sean, it's not 'demonizing' an illegal alien to simply call them what they are (here, illegally) and to deport them. No one's arguing their 'humanness,' or how hard they work, etc. But those things don't change the fact that they're here illegally, and when you have thousands of them every single week crossing a sovreign nation's borders (to the point we now have 12 MILLION of them, at least), that simply cannot be allowed to continue. Just ask anyone who lives near the border, in Arizona for instance. It is quite literally intolerable, what's happening.
