Given the large size of the illegal harvest, the relatively clear boundary (a steep ridgeline and road) ... I find it difficult to understand how this could have been a casual oversight,

Gilchrist has the most emotional issue. A lot of people hate illegal immigration. And on that issue alone he is going to be able to motivate (voters). There's a lot of frustration and nobody is coming up with any answers.

Francine Busby is trying to play the guilt-by-association game instead of talking about the issues that hard-working voters want to hear about, like illegal immigration and balancing the federal budget. We are not going to play that tit-for-tat game.

If a president can enforce a part of a law and delay a part of a law, then does he have a power to not enforce any law he so chooses? If he can allow illegal aliens to freely run across our border, can he force legal citizens out of the country? Where would be the end of his power?

If (a criminal suspect) makes a million in drug money and plows it into a legitimate business, you can trace the proceeds through there; and once illegal proceeds are commingled with legal proceeds, it contaminates everything.

I don't think we want to have a magic system. We know there are a lot of illegal people here. This reform has to have a mechanism to know that these people are good people and people who want to be here.

For the record, it is certainly the case that there needs to be prize consideration for gambling, ... Clearly, if it is legal in the state and there is no prize offered, I can't see why anyone would consider it gambling. We are not attempting to make illegal by this legislation fantasy sports that would be legal in states. I'm pleased that the previous opposition has been removed.

Given what illegal immigration costs each year, given that 30 percent of inmates in our federal prisons are illegal aliens and given the strain illegal immigration puts on our health care, it's a small price to pay.

Given the obvious hardship of having illegal aliens flooding in, we also know they are critical to the functioning of the U.S. economy.

If it was illegal the ref should have thrown a flag then and there, but being that I haven't really established myself in this league and he has, they're going to protect the quarterback and I understand that. They lost the game and we won. That's all that matters.

If we see three, four, five really good crackdowns on those employers, especially big companies out there, knowingly hiring people illegally, we're going to see -- sort of like compliance with the Internal Revenue Service.

If the government comes up with a system that's quick, easy, inexpensive and accurate, we would welcome it. Contractors do not want to hire illegal immigrants.

What we have are basically individuals, whether it be an installer or a contractor, installing illegal systems in the county and not going through the process, which includes contacting our agency for a permit, letting our inspectors assist them and then actually inspecting the sewage system to make sure it works properly, ... We are trying to come up with some options to address what we can do about that, and we want the public's input. We want to invite installers, Realtors, lending institutions, the commission and the prosecuting attorney's office to give us input on that. Right now, if we have a violator, all we are able to do is turn that over to the prosecuting attorney's office.

Gun violence is on the rise in many of our cities today, and illegal gun trafficking from neighboring states is a big part of the problem. We need a coordinated effort to ensure partnership and cooperation with prosecution, community programs and crime prevention. We need leadership from the federal, state and local levels, as well as help from our neighboring states.

Gun shows, simply put, have become a paradise for illegal firearms sales because felons frequent gun shows to avoid having to go through a background check.

Guns don't fall from the sky into the hands of criminals. The crime gun market is fed by a small, identifiable group of reckless gun dealers. Yes, we must severely punish criminals who use guns. But we must also stop the flood of illegal guns at its source -- the gun dealers who put profit ahead of public safety.

Hearings like this help ensure steps are taken so the rule of law is respected by all, even the president.

It is clearly time for the U.S. to honor its treaty agreement with Canada, and to end these illegal duties that continue to harm American consumers.

I was disappointed that the elected officials at the meeting seemed unconcerned with the obvious illegality of providing off-the-books jobs for illegal aliens. Instead, they should be passing legislation to provide training for local and county police departments to enforce our immigration laws.

Overcrowded, multilingual, schools will not become manageable because the kids are suddenly the children of guest workers, instead of illegal aliens. Millions of unskilled laborers will not magically become high-earning taxpayers because they have work visas.

Parents need to know this is a serious offense, and illegal behavior. Area teens participating in prom activities need to be cautious while driving late at night, and need to steer clear of places where they know underage drinking will be going on.

Over the last several years we have seen a convergence of data indicating that efforts to reduce illegal underage drinking and drunk driving, such as education, awareness, and enforcement of the law, are having a measurable impact. While there is more work to be done, we're pleased about the progress that has been made and are committed to continuing our efforts focused on these serious issues.

The Secure Border Initiative is a comprehensive multi-year plan to secure America's borders and reduce illegal immigration. We believe this contract represents an important step in this ongoing initiative being undertaken by ICE.

Our priorities are national security. People linked to terrorism are number one.

We are dealing with the criminal alien element. We can't be everything for everybody.

Our goal is to eliminate illegal dumping in the county.

Our goal is to shut down as much of this illegal operation as quickly as possible to stem the serious financial damage to the victims of this high-tech piracy -- the people who labor to produce these copyrighted materials,

Our goal at DHS is to completely eliminate the 'catch and release' enforcement problem, and return every single illegal entrant,

Our committee has a lot of work to do before we truly think about implementing a guest worker program in this country. I say that because our Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents drive by day-labor centers knowing that illegal aliens loiter the street corner in search of illegal work but do nothing.

Regardless of what happens with this agreement, Congress can, and must fix the Patriot Act to better protect the privacy and freedom of ordinary Americans. At the same time, until the Bush administration stops the illegal NSA program to spy on Americans and stops ignoring the rule of law, any reforms to the Patriot Act could be ignored under the extreme philosophy of power embraced by this president. No matter the result of the Patriot Act, we hope all senators involved in these negotiations will resist pressure from the administration. Congress must restore the rule of law and insist that innocent Americans' rights be protected against the overreaching of the White House. We can, and must, be both safe and free.

Regardless of the true source of these incursions, the Mexican government must not evade its responsibility to help us stop illegal activity on the border. I hope that this letter will lead to a more productive partnership toward that goal.

Recent information from ongoing investigations, detentions, and emerging-threat streams strongly suggests that al-Qaeda has considered using the southwest border to infiltrate the United States. Several al Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons.
