Kingsport cannot arrest illegal aliens, because they have no money to pay into the coffers of the police department. Ossifer Dale Farmer and his "buddies" are only interested in arresting folks who have money or nice cars,, so they can get a new car for themselves,, these cars should be given to the schools and all funds recovered placed into the general fund...
It is a conflict of interest to give cops or their department the money they confisicate,,,,,in the real world it is illegal, known as RICO....
Ask Mike V about RICO,,,,,,smoke time....

As long as i can remember Being Italian 2 gens, French 1 Gen and American Indian Countless Gens" ... I dont remember as a kid Politicians saying our national may or may not be French Or Italian and for the life of me i dont remember a Dial 3 for French and 4 For Italian. BECAUSE back then it was Learn our way or dont stay. Remember this IS a country of Immigrents "YES" but they were LEGAL immigrants who set aside there Culture and language to become "AMERICAN" English Language known the world over as the "TRADE LANGUAGE or COMMON Language" aint it kinda low of Politicians to not want them to speak english "Keep them Handicapped" for if they really learned how to communicate well they certinly wouldnt settle for 5 bucks an hour landscaping LOL. No its a ploy to keep then not amongst the masses so they dont ask questions and learn that they Can earn more. "Illegal is Illegal" tho Non productive Illegals go home "Productive Illegals get educated in the trade tongue and file properly"

Mary Smith since you are so for the illegal immigrants, why don't you along with the ACLU move to Mexico???? They are in this country leeching off of the taxpayers expense!!! They are given free medical care, kid's go to school for free and so on and so on. As far as RACISM, I THINK NOT!!! People are sick of the mess and their tax money being wasted on them. People like you are the main problem!!! If are laws would be enforced, the ones that come here legal and learn ENGLISH and abide by the law, and not leech off of any government or state assistance would not encounter this problem. The problem they (illegals) have created is they won't learn ENGLISH and abide by the law, they think they are entitled to rights that they do not have. They have no voice in my opinion and they have no rights to fly their MEXICAN FLAG! Let them go home and fly their flag in MEXICO or whatever country they are from!!!!!

Mary Smith I have a real problem with your views on this matter.Iam a hard working american woman with a real hard working husband.Until may of 2006 when someone ran him down with there van and he no longer can be that hard working white american man.NO WE ARE NOT RACIST, but you say you work for social service you tell me how we can't get help.I'm the only one working now we have a 18 year old son but we don't claim him on a case load but we are told we have to (HOW).The system can give illegals food stamps,welfare,and health insurance to them,but us americans that have worked hard fo rwhat we have got are discrimated against for having a few resorces oh I forgot there not and I quote jack pot babies.So tell me where is the help for us and many more like us,The help should start with americans that are here by birth we founded this country.this system is truly wrong but go figure were only white.Have a nice day.We will survive some how,with out the goverments help.

Mary Smith,
If there really is a fervor against hispanics as you say, it's not an irrational fervor. The vast majority of illegal aliens coming into this country (approximately 2 out of 3) are Hispanic, so as a group they've earned the scorn they receive. As a group, they have worked hard to subvert our laws and our sovereignity and take advantage of our good nature.

Again, you throw up racism. Again, I'll ask you, is "Hispanic" a race of people? Or is "Hispanic" a linguistic designation? You complain about the rhetoric of immigration but your use of labels is as wrong as those you condemn.

Sincerely,
Paul

Here's the problem...with all of the fervor against illegal immigration, particularly focused on the hispanic population, people are becoming increasingly hostile toward hispanics in general, whether they are legal or not. What is a legitimate social and political issue in some places is becoming an overzealous hate movement across the country. I breaks my heart to hear tales from friends, who worked hard to come to this country legally, about the hate speech they encounter almost daily. The rhetoric of the whole thing is wrong. It is breeding racism and hate.

Mary Smith answers her own question. She states,"I can understand certain communities around the nation... where there are real problems coming in." You see Ms. Smith, if the laws had been enforced in the first place,it would not have gotten to that point. But they were not; because people did not at first see it as a problem. Every body saw the cheap labor and didn't see the bad side of the issue. The point is that people don't want those problems in their own towns. We have enough problems of our own without having more thrust upon us. So that makes us racist huh? What part of illegal do you not understand? No one in this forum has stated having a problem with LEGAL immigration. And believe it or not, legal immigrants from Mexico are every bit as Mexican as illegals are. You know, there are probably at least 1/2 a billion Chinese who would be here if they lived close enough to sneak through the border. Why not just bring them on over, as well as any other folks who want to immigrate.Oh say, maybe a billion or so. Why not just throw our immigration laws out? Would you be happy then? After all, we are all immigrants aren't we? That is the excuse that is used. The point is that our health care system is being bankrupted, and our legal system stretched to the breaking point. Believe it or not, there IS a breaking point, even for the USA. Where do we draw the line on immigration, if we are to permit both legal and illegal immigration? I have a novel idea... why don't we only let folks immigrate LEGALLY? And call themselves American, not tearing down our flag and flying Mexico's in its place... which has and is happening.I am not ashamed to say that such actions have the same effect on me that waving a red flag has on a bull. Teddy Roosevelt had it right when he said,"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith(NOTICE: IN GOOD FAITH)becomes an American and ASSIMILATES himself to us, he shall be treated on EXACT EQUALITY with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed,or birthplace,or origin. But it is predicated upon the person's becoming an American, and nothing but American...There can be no divided allegience here. Any man who says he is American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room but for one flag, the American Flag...We have room but for one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is the loyalty to the American people. That is my belief also, as I suspect it is of most who have posted here. If this belief, in your eyes, makes me a racist, then feel free to call me that. I will wear your scorn as a badge of honor. Call me what ever you want, but it is ignorant to think we can continue turning a blind eye to illegal immigration and the problems it has brought. Remember, it is our country and if they want it to become theirs they must do it LEGALLY.

To Mary Smith,
What "racism" are you talking about? Are "immigrants" a "race"? Is enforcing immigration law "racism"? What are you talking about?

It absolutely disgusts me to see this new generation of racism growing in our country. I can understand certain communities around the nation taking issue with illegal immigration, particularly those closest to the Mexican border, where there are real problems with drugs coming in and social services are truly strained. However, I know first hand that these issues are of little, if any, consequence in this region. Working in social services, I have met the illegals everyone seems to want to debase. They typically work at least two, if not three jobs. They have strong family ties and work hard to make a better life for their children. As for social services, they usually just want/need medical care for their kids because they can't find employment anywhere that offers it. Frankly, their morals and work ethic impress me, particularly in contrast to the "entitled" mentality of many American citizens who seek social services. I commend anyone willing to work hard to make a better life for their child and have no patience for anyone too lazy to. But, then again, I guess for some, sitting in free housing and drawing a check is a better life than picking tomatoes or laying block. Before we start trying to run off all the illegal immigrants, I suggest we figure out how we're going to motivate anyone else to do the jobs they're filling.

My name is Willie.I am a legal citizen of this U.S.A. Immigrates where brought over here by the early settlers to begin with just like Francis Nicote Ambassador of France brought over tobacco with nicotine in it.The Native American were used to grow the crops because those settling this country needed people with know how and ability to perform manual labor. Read your history !

As ar as ID's SSA/DSS requires a legal Birth Certificate.Valid SSA Card.Valid DMV computer generated Picture I.D with a state approved control number only obtainable after they check the Social Security Number which is generated once applied for by the legal parents of that child.Hospitals require both an insurance card,valid Picture ID.

So as for illegals using fake ID theirs a website each SSN can be checked to see if the individual is legally deceased since SSA requires a Legal Death Certificate signed by the Physician doing that. SSA as of 2004 was changing the SSA cards as they told the wife and I whereas you don't carry them with you in your wallet.They are only intended for financial transactions, not to be on a Drivers License,or Legal ID.Need the employment process regulations per ADA,PL-101-336 Title I,II,III,IV,or V? I got them and I will email them to you. Email:wjsc042002@yahoo.com. Opposed to our ancestors I'm not. They do the work others won't. That done been proven, plus they are only trying to do what I did foe 24+ years.Feed and support their families which GOD will hold not against any person.

No matter what a city/community pays to enforce immigration laws, it will never outweigh the costs/expenses of the illegals being there---plus their anchor babies!! Once they have anchor babies (also known as jackpot babies)---they then become eligible for ALL social benefits---welfare, WIC, foodstamps, medicare, low income housing, etc. Plus, illegals are using fraudulent documents or stolen identities to apply for those benefits even without the anchor babies.

If a city/community is serious about enforcing immigration laws---they will have some/all of their police trained and certified through the 287(g) program---which is offered through ICE/Dept of Homeland Security. This is a LEGAL means to be able to enforce immigration laws through arrests and deportations. The program costs $520 per officer and the training is only 5 weeks long. If anyone is interested in all of the information regarding 287(g)---including an application---please email me.

DEMAND that your city/community participate in the 287(g) program. If they do not---file a class action lawsuit anytime a citizen is seriously hurt by an illegal or one of their children!!

You know, I don't care what "economists" say and how many reports they generate in an attempt to prove their point that immigrant workers aren't affecting jobs or pay for Americam workers. Replacing American workers with foreign workers is NOT good for our citizens or our payscale, and that's not just the illegals but also the visa workers brought in to do white-collar jobs. American workers are being cheated, but you'd better keep paying your tribute (taxes) for the honor of being cheated.
