I would NEVER allow them to become US citizens - that is the punishment. If they want to become US citizens they should go back and stand in line.
That seems to be the case, barring a major citizen uprising.
Who cares about open borders?
Who cares about abortion?
Who cares about the 2nd Amendment?
Who cares about gay marriage?
Who cares about socialized medicine?

If the border was mined no one would try to cross it thus no casualties.
Short of the fence option (with signs and blaring klaxons that the land past the fence(s) is full of landmines), there would be a lot of accidents, probably quite a few with children--at least initially.
Nonsense. Signs are cheap and word-of-mouth would spread the news like wildfire (not to mention every radio and TV station on the planet) long before the job was done. No one would try to cross.
That needed repeating...bump.

Except for blacks race is not an issue to base ones vote. Hispanic American Citizens by and large support protecting our borders and removing illegals. Black voting patterns indicate that race is the most important factor - not necessarily if one is black but one does what is best for blacks not America.
A better solution altogether is to enforce current laws against employing illegals. Dry up the jobs and illegal aliens will deport themselves at their own expense. And they can afford it if they can send $20 billion back to Mexico every year.
Well! That's all that matters, how 'valuable' they are to whatever party. NONE of these people have any respect for these 'immigrants' much less the rest of us. They're just a commodity. It's disgusting.
They could at least keep pretending they aren't pandering and using them.
The business community (some who hire illegals) just lost 2 to 5 % of their income with these Alien Visa cards. Before, the alien had to pay cash. The retailer will now pay a percent of that sale when it's paid by credit card.
Kind of a 'catch 22'. Maybe some businesses will finally get on the Chamber of Commerce if they lose some $.
"We are engaged in a struggle for the soul of the party"
Martinez defines the struggle to secure amnesty for illegals and a massive immigration preference for Mexicans/latin americans as "a struggle for the soul of the party".
I'm sure all the businessmen will gladly pay the fee to gain the business. Most businessmen care less about the effects on America of their hiring Mexican illegal aliens than they do about their next Mercedes Benz or BMW.
This is just another piece of the plan to dismantle the USA and merge us with Canada and Mexico.
The New Alliance Task Force and Partnership for Prosperity is a part of the urban legend known as the North American Union.
Rates of assimilation are no different at all than earlier groups of immigrants. Same rate of language learning. Same rate of intermarriage second gen. The only really bad area re: assimilation is the tendency of Latinos (the big group of present foreigners) is their tendency to go directly to work after HS, rather than go on to college.,p. If you insist, I will post the links for you, but it will mean I have to trawl back thru my old posts and find it. It is a myth that they are not assimilating.
Are your Mexican/Mexican descended acquaintances light skinned or mestizos?
Bingo. You nailed it. There is a real caste system throughout Latin America. Because of our REALLY screwed up immigration quota system, most Mexicans who can come here legally now are the wealthy, and that means they are disproportionately light skinned. Southern Mexico is poorer, has more Indian "blood" in the mestizo population, and are generally discriminated against and looked down on. (Crap, for that matter Mexicans are kind of the "Irish" of Latin America, looked on as brutish, coarse, and boorish by many Latinos). Oaxaca is a state in Southern Mexico, bordered by Chiapas. The two have some of the highest Indian populations in the country.
The Reublicans are at the crossroads. They may lose some votes if they oppose amnesty etc, but they will gain some from the poor American who has been displaced by the illegal immigrant.
And they will save our culture.
Bump!
"It is uniting Hispanic voters against the Republican Party."
Not doing anything is turning lifelong Republicans against the Republican party.
