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 Americas 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 nations 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 todays 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 Shakespeares 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. #

This is a conservative website. And I like the editorial piece. Sumcad, the author, is obviously a conservative scholar. He was trying to reach Republicans and Liberals alike who think like Skinheads and act like Supremacists with attitudinal murder in mind in solving the nations problem on undocumented immigrants. He presented Iletos murder as proof.
The author also presented the murders of several officers committed by illegal aliens. He made it clear that What we do not want are Liberals or Democrats that make lies sound truthful and murder out of want, respectable. I think it is a properly balanced editorial written by a scholar and an experienced journalist with such a rich educational background, aside from being a recipient of several excellence awards in Journalism on record.
Unkind comments showed ignorance of this authors background as a writer and academician by asking mocking questions about his writings. These guys are not only impolite but also lazy to check it out.
I checked Sumcad out easily. He is all over the Internet. The well-known author is published in both conservative and liberal websites because according to what I read in the previous exchanges, his skills in editorial writing that target specific audience are remarkable, and his thoughts are obviously free of parochial politics and ideological bias. You can read his editorial writings and judge them yourself if you are academically prepared, not hopelessly blind or if your one eye is not half open and the other is half closed.

In this piece on immigration, obviously Sumcad doesnt want conservatives like us to be Skinheads that killed Ileto. But the mean-spirited among us misread him as some kind of hopeless Liberals that are coddling and protecting illegal aliens! Thats more than a mile father away from the truth.
Thats the problem with pseudo-geniuses who-knew-not-what, that end up attacking the author when the mind is beclouded by insuperable anger. They cannot read English anymore because they thought it was written by some Mexicans they hate or authored by an academician named Bill Ayers, the notorious American bomber who was once Obamas community-organizer associate.
Comment No. 43 represents all critics of the authors writings that do not even understand what bullyrag means.
JimSEA -- I address this comment mainly to you because you are the only one who has the fortitude to challenge this disquieting ignorance single-handedly. It seems that spirituality in the air has been eaten by uncontrollable rage and the joint mentality of the agitated group deformed by this numbing thought of illegal alien invasion. You have exposed some shady thoughts on this issue -- in effect highlighting the foolish reaction and misguided responses of anti-Liberal conservatives among us whose mean-spiritedness is more frightening than that of the dreaded Ileto killers.
With this bucketful of nonsensical disagreement and misinterpretation, I am totally shocked!
You seem offended that his post was greeted with less than slavish agreement. Oh well.
Your writing style is remarkably similar to Mr. Sumcad's. Are you a student of his?
Welcome to FRee Republic, n00b..
He just signed up to day...
Methinks...the author himself ?????????
Methinks, too.
What kind of English is this?
It is so shameful for one to criticize the writing of a journalist-awardee the way you do. Your presence in this forum embarrasses us all. Look at your writing one more time. You cannot even write straight English. How can you criticize an award-winning journalists writing without making yourself look like a juvenile clown?
Are you serious? I am not defending Sumcad, the author. But let us not be like drunks when we criticize. Let us write down a critique of his works to our hearts content. But please if you do criticize, lets do it right. Dont blow a hole in our heads as if like you, we are all retarded.
This is what I mean when I said I was shocked to discover that there is a bunch of playful Katzenjammer Kids that strayed into this space who need to be taught how to write and understand excellent composition. Those of us who want to criticize must earned their right to criticize reasonably, and must show that they can write a critique in correct English.
Let me quote your other comment Madame Defarge, just to be sure that you understand what I am saying here. You said:
His "background as a writer and academician is irrelevant if he can't make his thoughts clearly understood and seems unwilling to defend the article and/or clarify points he's been questioned on.
Then you continued: You seem offended that his post was greeted with less than slavish agreement. Oh well.
And finally, you asked: Your writing style is remarkably similar to Mr. Sumcad's. Are you a student of his?
First of all, I am not offended. I said I was shocked. Learn to read my pen and know how I write, and please understand what I wrote.
And you pilloried the author: he cant make his thoughts clearly understood
Well, only those English authorities who gave the writer awards for his writings clearly understood his thoughts in a style of writing they believed was unique. It is not for you you have no idea what the writer was writing about. With your kindergarten English, how can you understand him? I say to you no way, Jose.
You must know that the editorial that the writer wrote was not meant for ambulant vendors or gravediggers, dont you see? It is not also meant for you, and those who write English like the way you do.
The editorials was attempting to reach a specific audience, particularly the intellectuals in Congress and their learned supporters who wanted to criminalize undocumented immigrants and shoot them dead if they resist arrest, and the geniuses of the radical Left and their liberal lapdogs who think our border officers deserved to be shot by illegal aliens.
I really do not mean to offend you, but it is you yourself who showed that you cannot write English correctly, and the written editorial piece you criticized is not for you.
And this sounds like paranoia. You think that I write remarkably similar to Mr. Sumcads I can see the uniqueness of Sumcads writing style. In this forum, I wish I could write like him, but please dont embarrass Sumcad or Shakespeare by comparing me or yourself, to any of them! You may get sued for willful infliction of injury.
What is real is that the broken English that you wrote makes you remarkably similar to my four-year-old granddaughter whose writing her mother is trying to improve [just a statement of facts, no offense intended].
I agree with comment No. 40, that perhaps there is a communist troll in disguise. But it could never be this author that the comment was refering to. Those ignorant of his writings are unaware that the radical Left consider him one of their worst enemies. Dont be lazy. Scroll down the Web. You can never be wrong about him if you know where to locate his writings.
A troll has to cover his disguise. One way of doing it is to accuse someone else of being a troll to divert attention away from him. I invite your attention to comment No. 40 and watch the birdie.
And the Old Professor in comment No. 24 is too old to know modern editorial writings. Development journalism [see the authors background] is too far away from what he knew that is still standing and had never moved, from where he is now!
This leads me back to search for a sensible comment, like looking for a needle in a haystack. JimSEA, you can share your light of knowledge on this issue, especially those who badly need it. Those tigers have no teeth just paper cats.
I didn't write that, Einstein.
How can you criticize an award-winning journalists writing without making yourself look like a juvenile clown?
The Pulitzer Prize is awarded to morons routinely. I criticize said morons on a regular basis.
you have no idea what the writer was writing about.
Precisely my point.
who wanted to criminalize undocumented immigrants
Illegal aliens are by definition "criminal."
Are you drunk?
Don’t post to me
Comment 49 is primarily for info and turtoring purposes: Attention Madame Defarge and Tennessee Nana whose English was quoted in the said comment as specimen example of what kind of pseudo-writers are criticizing a journalism awardee.
