No such term as "undocumented immigrates." Those who disregarded our laws by entering our country illegally are "Illegal Aliens."

To Mr. Fernando Romero, president of Hispanics in Politics, the only entities skewing poll results is your office and other similar ethnic organizations advocating a Hispanic "Open Borders" policy.

Mr. Romero's statement that disallowing undocumented immigrants from obtaining the Millennium Scholarship is "closing the door on the future of our children" is IGNORANT!

These are not our children, they are children of foreign Nationals who have loyalty only to there country of origin.

To Ms. Iris Contreras, community organizer for the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, your racist, discrimative comment that poll respondents were expressing "anti-immigrant" sentiments reflects the one with nothing better to do all day is you.

If Ms. Iris Contreras were less ignorant and more educated, she would realize the only "anti- sentiments" that are expressed are the "anti-American" name calling & bashing coming from her and others like her with the same agenda for "Open Border Policy".

Finally, illegal immigrates use fraudulant documents or steal the identities of Americans and no-way to know the tax revenue, if any, illegals contribute to the economy.

What we do know, $98 billion a year - is the illegal immigration cost to American citizens.

And Ms. Iris Contreras, not only do I have a job, I own the company.

It is ignorance to blur the line between legal immigration and illegal immigration. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand this!

This nation is a nation of immigrates, "legal immigrates", those who did not break our laws.

The proper term in our country is "Illegal aliens', as define by U.S. Code : Title 8 : Section 1325 "ALIENS AND NATIONALITY ACT".

"Undocumented Persons" is not defined nor recognized in any Federal, State or Local Statue.

US citizens are not responsible to fix the poverty & educational problems of Mexico and South America.

It is pure anarchy for those who think we owe you entitlements for entering this country illegally.

If you don't like our laws, go back to your native country and demand your rights from your government.

No illegal should get schooling, medical care or any benefit from me or other taxpayers. There are legal ways of coming into our country. Any illegal here needs to get out now! Too ship the "Hispanics in Politics" and the ACLU with them!

Joe C wrote on May 04, 2007 03:17 PM: Fernando Romero is absolutely correct about polls being skewed. Pro-illegal alien supporters use skewed polls and biased studies that continually leave out many costs that burden taxpayers.
One poll that can’t be skewed is when bills are actually voted on. Bills in any state, halting benefits and favorite treatment to illegals, have passed easily, by a good majority. Plus, many Hispanic/Latino voting in these states. (California Arizona as example)
As far as Employers doing federal work, it’s been going on forever, banks, casino’s, even car dealerships fill out forms having to with cash transactions for the IRS to stop money laundering. So employers have taken on processes for the federal government and trained to spot illegal activity, which is what illegal aliens are doing, illegal activity.
Those like Romero seem to want favorite treatment for they’re own. We could soon be giving 12 to 20 million illegal aliens the ability to vote. The greatest reward given to legal citizen, rewarded to lawbreakers, most voting for they’re own concerns.
Romero and Contreras, are truly trying to dismiss and discredit anything that opposes their agendas. Even claiming people are just too tired. Disgusting and dishonest!

The honest and un-skewed polls, the legal vote tells a different story than what Romero likes to hear.

Giving scholarships and in-state tuition (ten states do this, with Texas giving illegal immigrant students financial aid) only encourages more illegal immigrant students to enter the system, and use more money. It may also encourage more illegal immigration to this country, and this is a practice that needs to end nationwide. People who break the law should be rewarded for their actions.

Kris R. wrote on May 04, 2007 10:12 AM: I feel that Mr. Romero, Ms. Contreras and other community organizers that are fighting for the "rights" of undocumented/illegal immigrants are essentially condoning breaking the law. Is there some ambiguity to the word "illegal?"

I appreciate their concern for the education of children in this state but these immigrants are not citizens of the country and should not be afforded the same benefits as those with legal citizenship. Scholarships and federal aid are issues that are outside the basic constitutional rights of persons in this country.

I was personally offended by the recent protest march during which illegal immigrants demand recognition and demand the rights equal to citizenship in this country. There is a process in place to obtain legal status in this country - they should be filing for citizenship.

Come to think of it, why weren't Immigration Officers present at these marches picking up illegal immigrants and preparing them for deportation?

Is there some reason why we turn a blind eye to this?

Oh... we're supposed to simply roll over and say "oh.. okay... we were only kidding when we said you have to obtain legal status..."

But if that's the case, aren't we also saying we're only kidding when we say that rape, robbery and murder is illegal?

As for bi-lingual materials - the native language of United States, as recognized world-wide, is English. While accommodation of various languages, in certain circumstances, is reasonable and logical, the requirement should only go so far.

If I'm not mistaken, speaking English is a requirement of obtaining citizenship in the US. And, since you have to be a US citizen to vote, you should be able to speak, read and write English. And we're considering printing bi-lingual voting ballots… why???

Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.
