Congress will not, however, pass a "comprehensive" solution until the border is sealed and the existing Federal laws are enforced.

About 400,000 illegals are being deported each year, and that is without any help from sanctuary cities, so if the borders could be sealed and more AZ 1070-like state laws being enacted, then in only 10 years it is possible we could empty out most all of the illegals who have crossed into the USA. Illegal immigrant supporters know very well that could happen, hence they are pushing very hard for some sort of amnesty program.

Read any history text on the Mexican American War, genious. The american army invaded Mexico City, flashed a bright smile and "convinced" Mexico to give up its northern territory.

We can live within our budget using American citizen labor, it just has to go back to the way it was 40 years ago.

That's the thing -- I don't think most people are willing to do that.

What a coincidence that the US seized all of California just months before the start of the 1849 gold rush . US generals were obviously "in on it" as three of the five left California as gold millionaires.

Abraham Lincoln contested the causes for the war and demanded to know exactly where Thornton had been attacked and American blood shed. "Show me the spot," he demanded. Mexican territory, prior to the secession of Texas, comprised almost 1,700,000 square miles, which was reduced to just under 800,000 by 1848. Another 32,000 were sold to the United States in the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, for a total reduction of more than 55%, or 900,000 square miles.

If this wasn't so pathetic, it would be laughable, but it is right out of any Chicano Studies program. There are a couple of facts that you have conviently forgotten, or worse yet, were never taught by you America hating Socialist professors. The US paid $18,250,000 ($81,450,000 in today's money) to mexico city, and agreed to assume $3,250,000 ($81,450,000 in today's dollars) of debt the mexican government owed to the USA. Incidently, the USA had offered twice the $18.25 million amount prior to the beginning of hostilities. So your revised facts are nothing more than silly Chicano Studies propaganda.

Virginia Cops Can Check Immigration Status, Attorney General Rules

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, whose lawsuit against health care reform moved forward Monday, has ruled that his state's law enforcement officials can ask to check the immigration status of anyone they arrest or even stop.

Cuccinelli's legal opinion, written in response to a conservative state delegate's request, could expand on a 2008 Virginia law requiring police to check the legal status of anyone taken into custody on suspicion of having committed a crime.

The opinion also explicitly compares standing Virginia law to the pending Arizona immigration law, which some Virginia activists see as a roadmap for their own state policy.

"Virginia law enforcement officers have the authority to make the same inquiries as those contemplated by the new Arizona law," Cuccinelli wrote. "So long as the officers have the requisite level of suspicion to believe that a violation of the law has occurred, the officers may detain and briefly question a person they suspect has committed a federal crime."
