Thank you Feds BP wrote on Jul 10, 2008 4:37 PM:Great News Story! Way to go all!
Now, lets sell the captured boat and put the money towards rebuilding a bigger, better fence.

Brittanicus wrote on Jul 10, 2008 4:55 PM:We should endorse the federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) that would add real, razor sharp teeth to state immigration laws. We need more enforcement to stop the interdiction of trucks bringing in drugs and illegal immigrants into America.

Funding is being cut by the Democrats, so they can gut the border fence and stop the enactment of the Federal SAVE ACT. An army of ICE agents, twenty thousand more border patrol along with massive funding, to supply helicopters, spy probes and other equipment for internal enforcement. The e-verify data base the Fed's are using has a 90.5 success rate.

It would be a major deterrent against pariah employers, who hire illegal workers. Its pennies of what taxpayers are unknowingly spending now. We need 'no tolerance' enforcement, that will give maximum arrest and detainment of predator employers of illegal immigrants.

A new AMNESTY is in the works from Senator Obama, McCain which will flood America with even more of poor, illiterate foreign labor. Those who steal across our perforated fence, includes the criminal element with a third world country mentality. Each day citizens are slain on the roads of America, by drunk illegal drivers.

Then we have the street gangs protected by 'Sanctuary cities' like Los Angeles. The unsuppressed news reports will tell you about the child pedophiles, female assaults, murders, robbers and Social security theft. Our government secretly skims from your payroll checks, 356 billion dollars annually to support the illegal immigration occupation of our nation.

Unfortunately this is not all, because this doesn't take into account expenditure on education, health care or our overcrowded prison system.

More unsuppressed facts at NUMBERSUSA. Join for free hundreds of thousands of others who have had enough of the invasion.

Law wrote on Jul 11, 2008 5:19 AM:Everyone Push your congressman to support E-Verify bill H.R. 5596.
CongressDaily reports today that House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) expect to hold a House floor vote on a bill to extend the E-Verify program before the August recess.

The current law that authorizes E-Verify is set to expire November 1. The lawmakers may use H.R. 5596, a measure sponsored by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) that reauthorizes the program through 2018 without making other changes, or select another bill. CongressDaily notes that, “Lofgren and Conyers plan to bring the bill to the House floor under suspension of the rules, which means members would not be allowed to amend it.”

If nobody has noticed wrote on Jul 11, 2008 5:57 AM:with Senor McCain ans Senor Obama's speeches about immigration reform, our borders are once again being swarmed in the hope that if an illegal is here when the law goes down, they too will be covered. Expect millions to be pouring into the country.

Roger wrote on Jul 11, 2008 7:58 AM:While I suspect there is some valid legal reason for this, am always amused with the use of "alleged" ("alleged smuggler boat", "alleged illegal immigrants").

Though I was happy to see "illegal" in lieu of "undocumented" or "documentationally challenged".

People we need to wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:02 AM:BURY our SENATORS Boxer, Feinstein and Pelosi with emails, phone calls, and letters. It is time to point out to these people they represent US and not Illegal aliens. You also might try voting them OUT of office???

To Born in San Diego wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:23 AM:MY Grandparents came across on a smelly, leaky old tub, in 1906, from Sweden!

They had to have a financial sponsor, take a health check up, agree they would NOT be a drain on society and promise to LEARN English, so they could become CITIZENS! They would be APPALLED that the US has degraded itself to the point where we allow anyone to just sneak in!

THEY were "IMMIGRANTS" . . not common criminals intent on breaking our laws by their very presence here!

They mowed their OWN lawn ..as did I as a kid. Americans need to wake up and understand that ‘cheap labor’ is NOT cheap. It costs us HUNDREDS of BILLIONS to support these ‘cheap’ workers!

Tell me Bob wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:24 AM:How do we build a fence around the ocean? Ridiculous! We must address the core issues and reasons that these people take such drastic measures to come here. We must address the negative impact NAFTA has on Mexico and we must stop the corrupt government in Mexico and the USA. Our immigration system is broken and must be fixed. We need a fair and just immigration reformation and grant Citizenship to all those who are here in the USA. Apprehending one little boat with 11 illegal immigrants is not huge feat. They will not stop coming here fence or not.

Pedro wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:31 AM:This illegal entry by boat is too dangerous!

Ultra light aircraft is the way to go.

Bob wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:38 AM:As the 8:24 AM post points out, building the fense is ridiculous :)

The devil made me post it :(

Fond Fantasies wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:42 AM:Lady thinks we are "paying for these people". We are not. They pay for themselves (taxes, spending) and put cheap food on our tables. "To Born in San Diego" thinks his Swedish grandparents went through a rigorous immigration process in 1906. They did not. Until 1924, there were virtually no restrictions from Europe. All they had to do was buy a ticket on a boat. At Ellis Island they only checked for communicable diseases and a criminal watch list. But hey, believe whatever you prefer.

Duncan wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:45 AM:Don't listen to that 8:24 AM poster. The fence makes for a GREAT photo op. Voters just eat it up. Makes it look like the government is actually doing something.

Bob Tells it WRONG wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:46 AM:ARREST and jail employers who employ people who shouldn't BE here!

DO NOT "grant Citizenship" to ANYONE who has broken our laws! They are NOT worthy of the generations who did it the PROPER, LEGAL way! They have JUMPED THE LINE, are an affront and insult to 'immigrants' and should go 'home' to try it the legal way!

Drying up the 'jobs' by punishing law breaking employers will cause massive self deportation. It has been PROVEN in Georgia, Oklahoma and Arizona!

I know the illegals wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:46 AM:can enter by air. They could be tied to kites and flown into the United States. Ultra Light Aircraft is too expensive, Pedro. Kites you can pick up at the ninety nine cent stores for ninety nine cents.

Has anybody been wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:48 AM:checking Gore's private jets? I would imagine when he returned from Bali, he probably had thousands of illegals hiding in his private jet.

To Fond Fantasies wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:50 AM:Oh oh please tell us where we can sign up to pay sales tax only!!!!

To Born in San Diego wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:59 AM:I cut my own grass, plow my own field, farm my own land, and work on my own car.. And I'm a younger caucasion male!
Some people would be lost without illegal workers, but I'd be more than happy to help them out. I even got my neighbors paying me with a 12 pack as opposed to $10 bucks an hour like they used to pay for an immigrant... Plus I enjoy the work. The problem is our spoonfed youth.. None of these kids know what it's like to "work" anymore. We need to work on our kids and stop giving them everything they want in order to re-establish america, make these immigrants leave due to lack of work. Hire a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn or trim your hedges...

To Tell Me Bob wrote on Jul 11, 2008 10:27 AM:Check border patrols stance on border fences and you will find they found fences drive illegal's off to open unprotected areas.
Once the fence is built all we need to watch is the coast.
Compared to inland, most of the coast is populated where it would be much easier to catch illegal's.
Out on the water boats stand out and can be spotted miles off shore with night vision and radar.
Also it costs a lot more for the traffickers to go by sea thereby reducing the number of crossings.

Be sure to go wrote on Jul 11, 2008 11:15 AM:to the San Diego Convention Center on 7/13 & 7/14 when the mexiican wannabe presidential canidates will be talking to La Raza. Tell Senor McCain and Senor Obama, Mexico is south of San Diego and they need to take their comedy act down there, as we are trying to vote for an American president here in the United States.

I agree with Bob Tells it Wrong... wrote on Jul 11, 2008 4:26 PM:The people detained did not have proper documentation to enter the U.S. and were handed over to the Border Patrol for processing. Let the border patrol do their job at the posted check points and anywhere else in the U.S. they are employed. When we used to ride the greyhound bus up to Santa Ana in the 70's they always asked my husband (of Hawaiian descent) for his proof of citizenship. Why should it be any different now? We have no rights as U.S. citizens...If we get stopped by the police we have to show our drivers' license or I.D. but everyone else that decides to break the law to get here illegally can't be asked for identification. Somethings seriously wrong here!!!

What is it about the word illegal that you don't understand? Those that came through Ellis island, did so legally.
Stop using that tied old and completely untrue reasoning.

Amazed wrote on Jul 12, 2008 6:57 AM:I sit here and read the comments about finishing the fence and stronger enforcement yet most of the very same people have voted either for McCain or Obama, candidates that have no intention of finishing the fence or stepping up enforcement. They make Bush look good and will push for amnesty. All we can do is be sure that we elect congressman that want a secure border and enforcement. They are the ones that have the final say.

rad man wrote on Jul 12, 2008 4:53 PM:the ONLY way this country is going to get a handle on illegal imigration is to create another branch of our armed forces to control our borders. Either have a branch of the national guard or create another branch of the armed forces all together. I honestly feel this country has reached its boiling point where this needs to be done. Will this then become a military state? I suppose, but I have no problem with this. Have these people trained specifically in border security, border law as well as drug inforcement/prevention. Work together with the police if thats what it takes. Illegal aliens have cost this country way to much in the social services we provide for them. I should know, I work in the healthcare field. Enoughs enough.
