What a waste of time.  Immigration is not a problem in Montana, seems like our politicians are
watching too much of the mainstream right wing media scare tactics.

We could have all the illegal aliens come to Flathead lake and fish out the lake trout.  When the
lake trout are gone, we can feed the illegal aliens to the vicious wolves that infest our forests. 
When the illegals are all gone, we can let the Lake county police poach all of the wolves. When
the wolves are gone, we can re-employ the poachers on road crews to fix our highways. 
Problems solved!!! Send me money in leiu of thanks…..

not an issue here.  Just another attempt by the republicans to try to focus our attentions on non
issues while they ignore the real problems

Smells like more top-down, right wing law handed down by the American Legislative Exchange
Council to TEA party state legislators who are too clueless to draft legislation on their own.
A wise legislator would wait for the resolution of the Arizona case now before the Supreme Court
before wasting time and effort solving problems that do not exist in Montana and would cost even
more state tax dollars to enforce.

Every state in the union should have similar laws like Az.  What we need is standardization
because illegals and undocumented persons will move from states who impliment immigration
laws to states who do not have similar laws in place. Idaho if they impliment any form of
immigration laws would see an exodus of illegals moving over the border into montana. We
already have illegals and undocumented persons driving here from Washington State who when
stopped do not have a license and only a Wa. ID. We need to stop them as well as those who
come here to work in construction and other ositions and are here illegally. The idea that its not a
problem need to look into construction, food, and farming here in the state and see just how many
illegals are really here living and working here. We need to say NO to Amnesty, NO to Dream
Acts, NO to Pathways, and NO to birthright and anchor babies.  Be LEGAL or BE GONE!!!!

Ya know, seems like we won’t need the Arizona fight at all if the clueless obama regime would do their
job.

Put all of the Anglo  Saxon immigrants  back on the Mayflower and  send them back, problem solved. That way we
can get back to killing our selves and  our buffalo too.

The whole “immigration issue” is a black hole?  Legal ones & illegal ones….to me the worst ones
are the HOARDS of people coming here…..bring their lack of knowledge, lack of health issues,
lack of $$, then look for a free hand out in some big city, where the immigrant program is being
run by some NEW IMMIGRANT….that allows people to enter at will.

Bringing old diseases, old customs, old ideas and wanting to change the USA to be like their
homeland…..hence the revival of some diseases that were long gone not too many years
ago….and add in the STUPID CUSTOMS OF THEIR MOTHER COUNTRY…..stay home back
over there.  If you don’t want to change your mother country ways….stay home….PERIOD.

And, finally all the so called “home grown terrorists”.....WHAT A BUNCH OF ####....new
immigrants & some naturalized…..after finding out the ladies don’t like Arab speaking men….then
have some plot to blow up ??? They are not home grown at all….just living here & getting a large
dose of stupidity…..like back in Ohio this week.

Ya mean these 5 guys in Ohio this week?  Every one of them is whiter than a marshmallow with
decidedly American names.  Home grown terrorists-exhibit A.

Douglas Wright, 26, of Indianapolis; Brandon Baxter, 20, of Lakewood, Ohio; Anthony Hayne, 35,
of Cleveland; Connor Stevens, 20, of Berea; and Joshua Stafford, 23, of Cleveland were arrested
Monday and charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive material to damage physical
property affecting interstate commerce.

Are you gonna tell Jewish people to take their stupid customs back to their mother country?  How
about the Catholics?

Isn’t it interesting how these mainstream media articles come out with the same MO - showcasing
these so called “home grown terrorists” barely intelligent enough to tie their own shoelaces, infiltrated
by someone who sells them fake explosives…just like NYC and Portland?  Hmmm…the fed is getting
sloppy using the same tactic to catch these monkeys - but I guess it doesn’t matter to those who
hang on every word the lamestream media feeds them - whatever sells, right?

I made a mistake on the Ohio comment.

But, other people caught trying to destroy something…to get attention are labled as “home grown”
terrorist & they are just new arrivals that want to make a name for themselves in the Mosque.
The city/area of Detroit is a good example….gone to the pig stye of a city, overrun with immigrants
from Middle East Countries and Mosque’s financed by the Saudi government, then add in the
immigrants from Africa/China & other countries that say they are being penalized
politically…..can’t take them all….YA KNOW.
Some European countries are banning the “burka” as headwear which is a start as I see it. The
Muslium holy man that was at the heart of previous Trade Center bombings was let in years
ago…due to a loophole in immigration computer lapses…..the Blind Cleric. Now the US is paying
for his daily meals & health care along with his partners in crime.
Look at the crime rate in Minneapolis due to the large population of people from Somalia….what
a match made in ####. People from a desert environment to a city where 30 below is a normal
winter…and no education or job skills….so how this madness has to stop as the US acting a the
moral savior for millions of people….??? They get on a plane an new residents of the US in 10
hours and bring the old diseases from the “out back” of India or Africa or Indonesia.

I might support this legislation if the end result was the deportation of the Chuck Baldwin
cult back to Florida.

Apparantly not too many people know who is in the white vans that are doing all of the fuel
reduction work in the local forests. 

This work use to be done by Contractors that could bid prices that were adequate to pay
American workers.  Now, the Flathead, Lolo and Bitteroot have hired a company that works
with many visa workers.  If they have illegal workers is anyones guess, you would have to
check with the Dept. of Homeland Security to see if they have busted them lately.

These were good jobs.. Now, we have no forest work in our area.  Go figure?

BTW,
It isn’t just those 3 forests I mentioned.
Think we don’t have a problem with visas and illegal immigration?  Wait till all the men come
home from the Bakken and they can’t get a job working in the woods anymore because
immigrants with visas have all of the work locked up under 3 yr. contracts.  Pretty sad
situation.  Those of you that don’t think there is a problem just don’t know where to look.

Lord. We can’t even afford to buy text books. Roofs are leaking at museums and libraries. And here we

Suzanne is right.  But wait it gets worse - we’ll have the troops home from, Afgan., from Bakken, from
Canada, and everyone still looking for a job.  But, no worries - King Obumbo will save us all with a few
more trillion in debt.
