If anyone would like to post a link to this thread on another thread and doesn't know how, just add a < at the BEGINNING of this URL and then post it. No spaces, just snuggle it right up to the 'a'

The link will appear as "Can you Help America?" in the thread you are on.
The flag is the symbol of our national unity, our national endeavor, our national aspiration.
Exactly! Americans for Immigration Control and The Federation for American Immigration Reform need to get together and mail out "immigration ratings" of candidates/incumbents on yellow postcards (the NRA-ILA uses orange).
Also, let's get a copy of Michelle Malkin's book Invasion in everyone's hands.
I presume any well dressed person could have said "this is my bag, may I have it please?" then got into a car and driven off.
I probably got a couple of busboys dismissed at a local restaurant last evening when my wife and I went out for dinner. After dinner, I asked for the manager. When he came over, I gave him a piece of paper asking if all the employees were here legally and would he mind having me return tomorrow with a sign saying that "XXX Restaruant has illegal aliens working on the diningroom floor. Be careful with your purses, Ladies. These boys broke Federal laws, State laws are nothing to them." He told me that he would verify their legality and if they didn't have Visas they would be dismissed at the end of the shift.
I told him that wasn't necessary. What I was looking for was for him to hire legal employees and not support criminals. He agreed with me that if they weren't legal he would replace them by next weekend. I said Thankyou, that we enjoyed the dinner and would certainly be back next weeekend.
It was a good evening. A bit of polite conversation with the management regarding national security, fine food and fine wine and a lovely lady to enjoy the eveing with. What more could a man ask for?
However, I've given up on this topic. Just like Rome, we have rotted from the inside, and we deserve the invasion. We deserve the unassimilating flood of other cultures that we have asked for. Ever since Americans have decided that any culture is just as good as any other culture (a consequence of amorality and relativism) we were doomed.
Any of the Mexican, Central American, Middle Eastern, Filipino, Chinese, Haitian, or Jamaican immigrants I have known would quickly tell you I am far from being anti-immigrant or disrespectful of people from other cultures, yet whenevr I speak up about immigration, I am branded as a xenophobe by Democrats, a statist by Liberterians, and a "Bush-basher" by Republicans. Nobody seems to want a sane and enforced immigartion policy. A tiny minority of politicians harp on it, and they are promptly destroyed by the political elite.
So be it - open wide the gates! We deserve it!
Colin Powell wants to bring in 15 million more Muslims into the country, even though statistics show that of those immigrants, 15,000 of those would be active, revolutionary terrorists, and 150,000 would be terrorist sympathizers. And that's a number that could snowball, if the militant Muslims make headway. Yet Colin Powell is sacred, and cannot be criticized, because he is Republican and associated with the Bushes.
It's ironic, because I love those immigrants who I have met. I love meeting people from other cultures, and seeing how they think, and interchanging ideas with them. Yet the same people that criticize you and me and others for being concerned about the destruction of our economy, our culture, and our national security from perverse immigration policies, are the same ones that will probably go on a rampage and start killing those immigrants when things get worse. Damn, self-righteous hypocrites, too many Americans have become!
But I would like to comment on a statement.
Being an American is a primarily a state of mind for all of us
I certainly agree with this statement since a country named America doesnt appear on any map that I have seen. As a matter of fact, those illegal Mexicans are as American as we are since Mexico does appear on the North American continent and Hawaii doesnt. However, Hawaiians are U.S. citizens and are consequently legal while Mexicans may only be here with the knowledge and approval of the United States government. Also, anyone who hires them without the knowledge and approval of the U.S. government is breaking the law just as bad or worst than the Mexican. IMHO they are worse.
Anyway, we should stick to the facts and not make any mystical states of mind prerequisite for being here.
what about "ignorance of the law is no excuse...."?
Did you just get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or are you like me, naturally a pain in the butt and always grumpy.
Nice term! My Momma used to say it, all through my formative years.
The point is, forged documents will get you a job with little employer concern.
My wife says that I'm all of the above.
This is the type of rhetoric, (post#210)(silly, I might add) that mis-directs a rational conversation on immigration. It makes my point that I made in our correspondence last night, and it causes people to become irritated, so that little or nothing is accomplished.
This is what I try to stay clear of. It is not civil, nor is it factual.
