SNIP:
With the Legal Workforce Act, a bill forcing companies to check the immigration status of their employees, working its way through Congress, voters nationwide continue to believe overwhelmingly that when it comes to immigration legislation the focus should be on the border.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is more important to gain control of the border than to legalize the status of those already living illegally in the United States. Twenty-eight percent (28%) feel legalizing the status of illegal immigrants is more important. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Fifty-seven percent (57%) favor a welcoming immigration policy that is designed to keep out only national security threats, criminals and those who come here to live off our welfare system. Twenty-eight percent (28%) disagree with this kind of immigration policy, while 14% are undecided.

Findings for both questions are consistent with surveys dating back to 2006.

and before enforcing our immigration laws which would make it easier to secure the border because they would not be coming to work and those coming across illegal would only be seen as criminals coming here to do us real harm and should be dealth with accordingly.

Mexico asks for more U.S. cooperation in drug war amid fresh violence
September 21, 2011 | Calderon told U.N. consumer nations must do more to reduce demand

Mexican President Felipe Calderon is using his brief time in New York this week to cry out for greater cooperation from the U.S. in the drug war -- at a time when casualties from that war are being dumped in the streets while the Obama administration's attention is consumed by tumult in the Middle East. At the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, Calderon said consumer nations must do more to reduce demand. He directed his criticism squarely at the United States in remarks two days earlier, blaming the violence in Mexico in part on the fact that the U.S. is the world's largest consumer of illegal drugs. In response, the White House pledged to sustain "our historic level of cooperation with Mexico as we work to protect the public health and safety of citizens on both sides of the border."

But Calderon's remarks suggest he doesn't think the U.S. is doing enough to recognize and address the problem. The sentiment came tumbling out in August, after a deadly arson attack on a Monterrey casino that killed more than 50 people. At the time, Calderon declared the U.S. is also responsible for the "tragedy we are living in Mexico." The fire was followed by another gruesome incident Tuesday, when suspected drug traffickers dumped 35 bodies on a road in the state of Veracruz. While Obama issued a statement after the casino fire last month condemning the attack and affirming U.S. commitment to fighting the drug war, this week the president was busy with other pressing international matters.

He did not mention Mexico in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, nor did he issue a written statement on the most recent violence. Calderon was not on the schedule for one-on-one meetings with the president in New York -- instead, Obama and his advisers were scrambling to head off a Palestinian statehood vote. He spent the day meeting separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, as well as European allies and other officials. His meetings reflected a focus on the Middle East peace process, the Libyan revolution and the Afghanistan war, but not a drug war in Mexico.

"My government has been working with President Obama's administration with increased cooperation. However, it is necessary as a part of a wider debate to address a key issue -- the American demand for drugs," Calderon said in remarks Monday, according to a transcript. "Our neighbor is the largest consumer of drugs in the world. And everybody wants to sell him drugs through our door and our window. ... We need to increase our cooperation and devise much more effective regional responses to this threat to our democracies and our societies."

Just move out of those areas where drug cartel violence is in to safe areas. Just like I do when illegal aliens move into my neighborhood. I move three time in the past 10 years. They are spreading like a live fire.
They only have to fear drug cartels if they are involved in drugs and crime themselves.

They are running here for the government handout, affirmative action for illegal aliens, automatic birthright citizenship and all the benefits that goes with that label.
Stop the flow of drug and we will stop the use of drugs.

I would have guessed it would be more than that. Send them back home and let them come back legally.

Maybe we need to take back our neighborhoods since the gov't. isn't doing enough to? Stop moving, they win.

Oh you have no idea what you're saying! I have moved so many times, I can't remember them all! The times that I dug in my heels and said "This is IT, I'm NOT moving". I was forced out by a wave of violence so bad, I left in the middle of the night. My son moved back to the neighborhood he grew up in. He moved when his father in law was terrorized for a day in the house and his wife was beaten up in their own driveway. Oh no, you WILL move. The only question is how bad does it have to get before you move. Hopefully you live long enough TO move! It's not like you, personally, have to be victimized by some criminal activity. The random gunfire from a nearby birthday party is enough to break out your windows and kill the toddler asleep in a crib.
