They had a nice Christmas boozer going in Trenton as George Washington was crossing the Delaware.
If Washington saw what a dump Trenton and America has become and is becoming - he probably would have stayed home. Thank evil TV and the idiots who watch it.
Rove Republicans or idiots who watch TV and are brasinwashed by the elites. There are no jobs. Why give an illegal a job in the US military.
Maybe we need more Major Hassan’s to murder more American boys and girls.
That is ludicrous. Rasmussen has consistently shown Americans are against amnesty by and large. However, most Americans are decent enough to not hold children responsible for the actions of their parents.
Hispania was the name given to the Roman province of Spain by the Romans BEFORE America was discovered. People from Hispania could be termed Hispanic or Hispanians I suppose.
In a modern context, “Hispanic” means someone of Spainish American Culture and Hispanola has nothing to do with it.
Even Brazilians are not “Hispanic” as they are Portugese American.
Good point.
Parents break the law, their non-english speaking children already clog up the school system and slow down progress for American children - then we want to reward them with free college or citizenship after military service? Bullshit -
Here is the reality of our current population: This year, the incoming class at the University of Texas is no longer a white majority. The figures are close to 47% white, 27% hispanic, 17% asian, 6% black, and the remainer "other"...Texas is changing quickly into Mexico and offering citizenship will only cause more of an invasion
Once “those people” control your military, they control your country.
THAT the Romans discovered happened with Goths and other Germanic troops recruited to serve in the 300’s and 400’s.
According to Romano-British Chronicles, the Romano-Britons recruited Anglo-Saxon mercenaries to fight for them against the Picts and Scots. I think you know the rest of the story.
Chain migration will be alive and well under the current bill. THAT is the real problem with this idea as currently written.
No just go home and apply to come in Via Immigration channels.
Where do you think the name Hispanolia came from? Irishmen?
College students? Absolutely not.
I’m pretty sure you have to have a green card to join our Armed Forces. Green card holders already go to the head of the line for citizenship if they are in the military. Basically reid wants the military to allow illegals in. I call BS.
Hispaniola has NOTHING to do with Spanish legionnaires fighting in Judaea.
ALSO, only HALF of Hispaniola is Hispanic. - the Dominican Republic. The OTHER half is Haiti which is Creole and French speaking, not Hispanic.
Yeah, I heard that last week. The other thing that hacks me, is the "in state tuition rates" for the illegals.
That is correct. There are a number of green card holders in the military.
Since you ask:
It came from Christopher Columbus, who named the island he discovered "La Espanola," basically, "The Spanish Place." A priest, writing in Latin about the Spanish discoveries in the New World not long after, wrote it as Hispaniola. His books were translated to English pretty quickly and the name Hispaniola stayed intact in the translation and stuck.
Wasn’t asking, it was a rhetorical question...
