Only a nation of a rapidly rising population of absolute idiots would allow itself to be usurped by a southern neighbor 1/5 its size.

Very sad to watch this country die.

related...A growing national controversy surrounding nine Latino youths who “self-deported” and want back into the country reached a new level Monday, when two supporters of the so-called Dream 9 were arrested in the Charlotte office of Rep. Mel Watt.
It marks the first time arrests have been reported in connection with the ongoing rallies supporting the Dream 9 around the country, organizers said.
Maria Alejo, 21, of Raleigh and Marco Cervantes, 19, of Chapel Hill were charged with second-degree trespassing for refusing to leave Watt’s office after it closed. Both told the Observer they are undocumented youths who were raised in North Carolina.
The two were part of a protest group of about 30 people who sought the Democrat’s support in lobbying for the release of the nine youths, who are now held in Arizona for attempting to enter the country without documentation.
Among the 30 protesters was Norma Lopez of Marion, whose son, Luis Gustavo Leon Lopez, 20, is one of the nine detainees. He was raised in North Carolina but left for Mexico in August 2011 out of frustration with North Carolina’s policy of not allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition.
Luis Lopez attempted to return in June 2012 but was turned away. On July 22, he and six other undocumented youths seeking to return home presented themselves at the Nogales Port of Entry and were taken into custody.

Our government is deliberately causing the self destruction of our nation.

Just this morning I caught some comments on FOX about the potential tidal wave of appeals brought by people convicted in part due to intel illegally obtained by the NSA and illegally given to other agencies like the DEA who then concocted stories about how they obtained the intel.

Illegal and left and attempted re-entry. These trouble makers should all be shot. Do any of you think these instigators who rob, pillage and rape our resources are going to sit still for a waiting period, back of the line, learning English, paying fines, paying taxes? Really? do you honestly think so?

The will use our laws against us the minute we’ve given them anything, acceded anything, normalized anything. Our liberal courts will vacate any appeasement deal on which the GOP accepts.

Shoot them, shoot them now when you catch them.

This sets a terrible precedent. If these 9 can successfully claim “asylum,” just about any illegal immigrant will be able to claim the same. If “asylum” is redefined to mean fleeing crime, poverty, and a corrupt government, pretty much the entire Third World can claim asylum in the US.
