Ironically, a few hundred Minute Men (a.k.a., vigilantes, per our President) almost stopped the flood of illegals in the border section where they 'watched'.
Evidently, AG Gonzales, if that is the best you and the Bush admin can do, maybe you both should consider early retirement. America deserves better. And you both took an oath to defend The Constitution. With the flood of illegals, you aren't.
You're absolutely right CJ. Murdering, child molestation, rape, fraud and gangbanging are exactly the same as violating the speed limit.
====================================
A friend of mine has a saying about the art of lying and liars:
"I would never make a good liar because I could never remember what lie to tell to the right person to cover up for all my other lies."When it comes to immigration reform or border control, that seems to be the problem of the current regime - remembering which lie to tell the the right person at the right time.
Prove it. Show me one instance in the history of civilization where a) there was true free trade and b) everybody prospered.
Free trade is a theory that has never been tested. Yet, we in the U.S. are asked to prove this theory regardless of the consequences.
Of course not. Through taxation you will be involuntarily invested in "entrepreneurs without assets, pursuing the American dream" and the dividends you earn will become part of your privatized Social Security retirement account. All will be well, comrade, all will be well.
I am a Catholic, but listening to bishops on trade policy is like listening to a Mexican explain the fine points of ice hockey.
Actually, the Bishop has it right. He is against CAFTA. I really don't care what he calls his people as long as he is against CAFTA. With the signing of CAFTA, it will mean more and more illegals.
What's wrong with their countries and why don't these "hard working" people fix them?
[[If you are here illegally then you are stealing our birthright. A birthright purchased with the blood, sweat, and tears of our ancestors.]]
And not only that, after they are here long enough and are granted amnesty, they are then elligible for all of the affirmative action programs that give them preference over native born white Americans and even veterans like me. This actually makes me sick to my stomach to know that somebody that actually broke they law can get preferential treatment just by doing so. This illegal invasion WILL stop.
Alvaro, if you like them so much you have them, bring them into your home. Build a free hospital and put out the word to come live with you. Don't spend other peoples money, spend your own.
Illegals themselves put in more than they take out. However, it is their children that are costing the taxpayers.
There is a correlation between economic liberty and prosperity.
There is economic precedence where restricted trade deepened econmoic woes.
The enactment of the Smoot-Hawley tariffs during the depression.
Absolutely correct. The defining difference between the first world and the third world is labor scarcity. In the first world we don't have quite enough and that is a good thing because it means that working people get treated decently, paid well and it results in a strong middleclass. In the third world there is far too much labor and the result is poverty, exploitation and a two tier society.
The more third world labor we import the more we look like the third world. Hence my tag line.
It is hard to wring money out of a rock and these places are dirt poor which is why the people are fleeing. We would be taking on a huge welfare burden and at a minimum all 100 million of those people would be collecting the Earned Income Tax Credit and food stamps just like they do in Puerto Rico.
West Germany tried this with East Germany and to-date the experment has been far from satisfactory.
Best comment I've heard all day....
Illegally coming over border, they get free medical treatment for life? While vets and other less fortunate in our own country go without??
50' wall from Brownsville to the Pacific Ocean and Maine to BC. Come over, under, around , or through that wall ILLEAGLLY and you are an invader.
