The vast majority of unemployed Virginians refuse to do the jobs that illegal aliens do. Those jobs generally involve sweat and dirt.

How many native Virginians do you see waiting at 7-11 for day jobs?

Zero.

Big government has eliminated far more jobs than 300,000 illegals have taken. Forcing E-verify on Virginia’s businesses will eliminate even more jobs because it will raise the cost of employment even more.

Illegals are bad. Creating government bureaucracies is worse.

How about shutting the door to LEGAL immigration? Most of the illegals come to stay with naturalized relatives.

The current Virginia unemployment rate is 6.8%, so it we replaced illegal aliens illegally holding jobs with unemployed Virginians, we’d likely cut our unemployment rate in half. For those legal Virginians that would benefit, the results would be tremendous. For those of us living in the midst of illegal aliens and suffering the negative impacts they impose, it would be no less beneficial.

1. We want limited government, less government bureaucracy, and less government intrusion into the lives of individuals and businesses.

2. We want to protect our country from illegal aliens.

Any solution to problem #2 that violates principle #1 is unacceptable.

If you look at the threat from big government versus the threat of illegal aliens, it looks to me like big government is much more dangerous.

I’m not keen on illegal aliens, but I’m definitely against being forced to pay for using some government database, whether it works or not.

John Brownlee has been the face of the federal government bureaucracy for the past ten years of his life. He thinks in terms of more government to solve our problems. This is obvious from his answer.

I can’t say I’m terribly impressed with Cuccinelli’s answer either.

In my part of Virginia the alien population is less than 2%, much less the illegal alien population.

Any votes for sticking with the laws we already have on this subject?

ALERT…ALERT…ALERT
Start calling and emailing Warner and Webb about voting NO on Amnesty (pathway to citizenship) for illegal immigrants! Keep the pressure on folks!

Call Webb and Warner?? Hell, take to the steets just like the “amigos” do then we’ll see some change. The need to be confronted by the masses, not telephone calls!

“Jay Severin, the fiery right wing talk show host on Boston’s WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended yesterday after calling Mexican immigrants “criminaliens,” “primitives,” “leeches,” and exporters of “women with mustaches and VD,” among other incendiary comments”

Isn’t that interesting! Basically he was suspended for stating the truth.

May 1st, is going to show the American taxpayer where their taxes are going? Millions of people ready to demonstrate in the streets, for comprehensive Immigration reform and will probably get it under the Democratic-Socialist majority. If they become de facto legal the consequences will be very expensive for the population, because then we will be adding to the hundreds of billions of dollars already extracted from your paycheck in Federal mandates for benefits. Remember with another Amnesty it will be a commitment for billions of unseen dollars, being appropriated. Once legalized the newcomers can sponsor their whole family group adding to the chaos, and more money to support them. After this 2nd Amnesty the next waves of impoverished will keep coming–and never stopping.

Those who sponsor immigrants who are relatives sign an affidavit of financial support and must shoulder financial responsibility by law. But it is riddled with loopholes, so new arrivals and their U.S.-born children (anchor Babies–intentional misinterpretation of emancipation for African Slaves after the Civil War) often become lifelong public burdens. A blockbuster example is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Economics writer Ed Rubenstein’s new report, “The Earned Income Tax Credit and Illegal Immigration: A Study in Fraud, Abuse, and Liberal Activism,” The author says immigrants collected about $12 billion from the EITC last year, the majority not paying a cent towards it. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation found high school-dropouts-who headed households pay an average of $9,700 a year in taxes but collect an average of $32,138 a year in benefits. All this money in real dollars is procured from unaware taxpayers. Surf NUMBERSUSA for the truth not the propaganda you expect for the open border zealots.

Instead of trashing either candidate and trying to decide whom to vote for by reading remarks on this (or any) blog, I’ve signed up for a couple of “meet and greets” and will talk to the candidates personally. I suggest others do the same. Brownlee’s is next Wednesday and Ken’s is Friday.

I guess I hit some raw nerves in the Brownlee camp. Good.
