We can be our own Democrat or Republican if we want to. What we do not want are Liberals or Democrats that make lies sound truthful and murder out of want respectable.
To bullyrag immigrants undocumented or not is tantamount to committing murder.
I owe it to Felimar Blanco, a website master in his own right, for sending over this anti-immigration video for my comment. This is where I do not want to be a Republican pinhead that thinks like a Skinhead or a Supremacist that bullyrags immigrants whether undocumented or not.

You may find my view on this matter quite different if not surprisingly rare.
What is seen in the video is misleading. Control of fertility rate, re, replacement growth was applied on the pre-immigration population [the green graph] but not on the additional population through immigration [the red graph placed on top of the green graph] which shows a camouflaged bias.
Statistical manipulation of this kind cannot escape the notice of one who was once a statistician in the RP bureau of census many years ago. Statistics never lies, unless you put something into it to make it lie.
The presentation was based on the wrong premise that America’s immigration policy aims at helping the underdeveloped countries lessen their population explosion problem! Pebbles in the glass jar have no relevance at all as to why this country attracts different peoples from all parts of the world.
Many Americans had forgotten what the meaning of the Statue of Liberty is – we are welcoming people of the world that seek freedom -- it is not about helping countries where they come from get rid of or lessen their overcrowding population!
This is a huge fundamental error in the understanding of the objectives and goals of the U.S. Immigration policy. It is a subtle distortion of statistical results out of a skillful manipulation of data indicating that immigration is being politicized.
We will have more cost to bear than just spending for our social capital infrastructures for this nation’s immigrants. But the cost of de-immigration outweighs the cost of policing our borders and legalizing those who are already here that had become integral members of our democratic but demographically porous society, as well as the continuing funding of our welfare programs that had been existing in this country since time immemorial … that means even before today’s pinheads began to solve this immigration problem the Orwellian way where immigrants get killed because they want to stop immigration. http://www.afroarticles.com/article-dashboard/Article/Immigrant-Hatred-Kills--The-Real-Problem----Ileto-Murdered-For-Taking--American--Jobs/189
Similar to Shakespeare’s blood and blade characters in Macbeth, Orwell is an active accomplice of treason and tyranny. He is the philosophical god of politically correct politicians that make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. We must address this immigration anathema the American way, not the Orwellian way.
We must accept reality. The naturalization process is not free, and we have to capitalize our expenditures as part of the cost of our social infrastructure.
But to some extent, what we owe for funding those who need to be naturalized, is self-liquidating. For instance, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) earn as much as, if not more than, what it is spending. But intolerant minds in agony are too limited to realize the importance of these ramifications, and blinded by anger and frustrations cannot see a more humane solution. Kicking the bucket until the ankle hurts does not give us the answer, which we need, more than just what we want.
In so far as this anti-immigration video is concerned, it is just an old bullyrag. It exhibits a terrible amnesia of what America – the country of immigrants -- is all about. #

Jamiel Shaw, Someone please hear the cry of these dead AMERICANS!!

I... Immigration
....(a) Legal
....(b) Illegal
II...Racism
....(a) Reject it
....(b)Wallow in it
The correct stands to take on these two separate issues are I (a) and II (a) and they are not mutually exclusive.
The fanatics on both sides will focus only on I (b) and II (b) and blend them into a single issue.
What? The post office is filled with illegals and people who can barely speak English. Anyone killing people is worng but American taxpayers should get jobs before illegals and yes they ARE stealing jobs from American workers.
Oh, I see. An open borders plant from the UN. I bet he learned his "one world" policies from the best at the UN whose sole job, it seems, is to take money from the U.S.
In the article he claims to be a statistician. ("Statistical manipulation of this kind cannot escape the notice of one who was once a statistician in the RP bureau of census many years ago. Statistics never lies, unless you put something into it to make it lie.") But his studies are Journalism, Philosophy and Literature.
I’m willing to play along, but first get someone to translate this into readable English. It’s hard to believe the author won an award for writing in any language, and if his reasoning on the economic virtues of illegal immigration is equally sloppy, he should be ignored. As far as statistics go, the end result is never any better than the data put in. We are witnessing part of that data with the housing boom and bust. Subsidized labor has a number of hidden expenses that come back to hurt us. As for massive immigration in general, it is interesting to note that the United States went through an incredible period of growth from the 1940s to the 1970s, and during that time we had very restrictive immigration policies, nothing like we have now. That isn’t an argument for or against immigration, but it puts things in a perspective that is often ignored by the open borders crowd.
It is illustrative of the state of journalism and the criteria for award-giving that a writer of such nebulous prose can be an award winner.
What I find interesting is that some of the most anti-illegal people are legal immigrants themselves. My wife and mother in law are both legal immigrants and they are more anti-illegal than me. I guess when you have to jump thru so many hoops to become a citizen, it makes you angry to see people cheat.
What's this "we" crap? Is that how you think and this is your way of expressing your guilt?
Are you suggesting that proponents of controlled and legal immigration are soulmates of Skinheads?
He is cosmopolitan i.e. his heart belongs to “The World.”
