A Recent Texas Poll

Forty-three percent of all Texans agree that illegal immigration is a serious problem.

The other 57 percent responded with, "No hablo Inglés."

Un qué país!

I don't think its a matter of hating Mexicans. I for am tired of the hand-outs, the abuses of our social system and the drain on our schools that illegals have on our society. BUILD THAT WALL!!!!

The Israeli wall isn't very effective.

"Build that wall" was more of a metaphor than the actual building of a wall. Its about policy change, attitude change and respecting and enforcing our nations borders.

Geeez

Well since his location says California, maybe he is suggesting by putting the flag there that he may as well live in Mexico.

I don't know what it's like in California, and I'm sure it's 100 times worse, but illegal immigration and cheap labor is a problem here. Any labor job that would pay $16/hr in Connecticut pays less than $4/hr here. My boyfriend used to do warehousing up north and those jobs are nonexistant down here, because that's the illegal immigrants' jobs. Something has to be done, but I can't say that I agree with any proposed solutions really, so I don't know.

GWB already knows Spanish. Actually, he is the first president to speak a second language.

Are you serious? Hmm. I know Thomas Jefferson was a student of ancient Greek (He totally rocked), but that perhaps doesn't count as a spoken one.

Oh man it would be hilarious to see illegal immigrants being used for cheap labor in building the Mexican-U.S. wall.
