The Dems are generally ahead of the Republicans on most issues. Guliani and company are still acting like 9/11 is the only thing that matters.

But none of the Dems understand the immigration issue. They all seem to care more about the feelings of illegal immigrants than about securing our borders.

We need to have a secure border and business enforcement in place before we even start talking about "the path to citizenship." Otherwise the government will botch the job again.

We ought to let people come to this country if they have skills we need. But we don't need more folks with no education and no training.

And yet are illegals Space Aliens?

No doubt to some they are...

Last time I noticed, "Space Aliens" don't exist.

Let's call a spade a spade shall we?

Truth is that we have had an economy that uses
"Migrant Workers" for years now they don't migrate so much.

Let's figure out a way ( our great Congress hasn't done it yet ) to work up a solution to our immigration problem tied with an ultimatum to the MEXICAN GOVT:

Figure out a way to stop it or you will have another problem:

WAR!

Not that I really WANT to drop bombs on Mexico City, but sometimes it seems that no one pays attention until you put it in graphic terms!

And here's yet another politician willing to maneuver around the laws if it will somehow benefit her. Glad I have no intention of voting for her and I hope others are seeing her without the rosy colored *first woman president*, she was *Bill's first lady* glasses.

What the Dem candidates fail to realize is that the vast majority of Americans want the illegals gone. Period. This crap about driver's licenses is like putting lipstick on a pig. It's useless and folks know it. The candidate that backs matching Social Security numbers and fining/jailing employers of illegals would be amazed at their new poll numbers.

I wish we could have just one candidate that isn't a puppet for the corporations. One that would bring all Americans home from Iraq-now. One that would give us healthcare w/o private insurer involvement. One that would repudiate unfair trade agreements, like NAFTA and end the work visa program entirely. One that would bring regulation and oversight back to the financial industry, transportation, trade and health. One that ends corporate personhood. One that could nominate an AG that can candidly answer the definition of waterboarding.

I for one am weary of the pageantry, the parade of mental midgets that pass for candidates for high office. I bet at least ten other people in the country feel as I do. I yearn for the day when one person steps forward, willing to end the charade and begin doing the work of the people.

I cannot vote for Clinton or Obama during the primaries. Also, Clinton is too pro-war, so even if she wins the Democratic primary, I won't vote for her in the general. Life is too short for four more years of lies and wars. Dodd is the only Democratic candidate worth considering and he has a real chance of becoming president.

When I'm driving my car down the highway, I would like to know that the person to the right of me or the left of me or in front of me or behind me has had to pass a driver's test and has a valid driver's liscense. Quite frankly, I don't care if the person is an undocumented citizen, illegal alien, or is from Mars. When it comes to safety on our roads there should be amnesty for all. On this Gov. Elliot Spitzer is spot on. The Democratic candidates would have done well to make this simple argument during the debate.

Indecipherable? Yes, Hillary dodged and weaved. I won't vote for her. Even if the left should cease, I cannot vote for this equivocator. We've come too far. Sorry Hill.

It was an interesting debate, and thankfully the other candidates stuck it to Clinton. Perhaps this will knock her off her perch. Check this report out at www.thedailybanter.com

We can't deport illegal aliens because "they're in the shadows". When they walk into a public office to take advantage of another bestowed upon them "right", they aren't in the shadows. Those certainly were some loud shadows in the streets, waving the Mexican flag last year, too. What shadow ? It's the poor legal residents of this country who are being pushed into the shadows as irrelevant.

These Democrats need to give the amnesty marathon a rest before they tear this country apart. That's coming from a former Democrat who distanced herself from the party this year.

I was going to vote for Hillary; I think my husband was too (don"t want to speak for him " but he sounded like he was). But neither of us can support a candidate who doesn"t understand the idiocy of granting illegal aliens driver"s licenses. First off, if it isn"t done right, this is ripe for voter fraud. And, just as important, this will put a new class of jobs at risk.
Business wants illegals to get driver"s licenses because you can"t get insurance if you don"t have a license. So, if illegals get the right to drive, all those driver-related jobs suddenly move over to the "mainly done by illegals" column. Florists, uniform cleaning companies, any business that delivers will now be able to drop that job down to minimum wage where they might currently be paying $10-$12 an hour. Of course, it might take away that "delivery charge" that you have to pay for pizza now. Heck, I can see governments hiring illegals to drive buses, etc. Now there"s a way to break all those pesky unions. Obama thinks it"s a good idea too, so he"s also off my list. Doesn"t anybody get it? The middle class is drowning and college is no longer the financial life jacket it once was " not with a $50k or $60k student loan bill waiting for you the day you get out.

And Obama won't be able to tell you if he is for it or against for a few weeks, until he sees how it plays out for HRC before Obama will take a tepid, watered down version of a position.
