->polls show hostility to plans that favor illegals over Americans.
Hmmm..Would that be because he doesn’t favor Americans ...
Nah... not Obama... says Bill O’ Reilly, he means well because he (Obama) is looking at this from a humanitarian angle.
Yeah. I’d like to know where those stats came from. He also said Illegals are 5% of the employed and 3% of the population.
Conservative opposition is “hostility”. Liberal opposition is “patriotic”.
Polls won't stop him.
I’ve just relocated to rural W. TN, and everywhere I look I see whites “gaming the system”, while the hardest worker I know is a black man who has been helping me keep my autos repaired.
Having grown up in this part of the country, and having worked in the cotton fields with black workers (almost 40 years ago), I understand why blacks have this reputation, but it’s due to lack of education and opportunity, and not due to intrinsic laziness.
I tend to agree with you, especially the gaming of the system part. My county here in rural Kentucky has approximately 60% of the population on one type of government welfare program or another. Most like sitting on their ever-expanding butts rather than working. Quite a few though hate it and point to businesses leaving the county because with even our low wage averages, overseas workers are even lower.
Same here in Virginia. From Winchester to the east, they are ‘layin’ sidewise and pullin’ hard on the government teat.” Seems like everyone from Winchester to Bristol is on the dole with so many hand-outs that no one wants to work, anymore. Of course, I don’t mean ‘everyone’ as there are people who work but it is getting harder and harder to find them.
Well, Duke, sadly here in California the story isn’t the same. But I do understand that there are decent AA’s who do work hard, marry, provide for their families and all the rest of what goes with life. And further, I do understand that as a country we have (and still do to some extent) discriminate against them. Also, FWIW I used to work in Memphis so I have a passing understanding of the Mid South. Actually, I found that integration was a lot more complete there 25 years ago than it is here. In California, it’s quite a segregated society, but mostly driven by economics. The statistics tell the story. You simply cannot have over 70% of your children born without benefit of a two-parent household and have any hope of a decent society, and the so-called “Great Society” is mostly to blame by it’s making AA’s a dependent class.
