I hope this "club" implodes - they are a huge part of the "special interest group" that is blocking the ANWAR deal!

[ChinaThreat]

This is absolutely hillarious. Someone always told me if you put too many rats in a cage they would begin to eat each other. Hillaryious i say!!!!

[basil]

Oh my!--they have such heart rendering decisions to make!

My hope is that they will indeed implode, also.

[speedy]

Where would the lefties be if they couldn't throw the word "hate" around indiscriminately. They use "hate" more than "and" or "the." Babies.

Any sincere environmentalist would also oppose the present massive immigration to this country. For example, their own studies have shown that we use up nonrenewable resources at a faster rate than Third World Countries.

As to illegal immigrants -- this is not a liberal versus conservative issue. Every normal, law-abiding, and patriotic American should be against these criminals infiltrating our country and now even demanding special perks.

The Sierra Club has reached the final stage of liberal enlightenment, where they are openly advocating policies that are detrimental to the US economy only. They are now unashamed of their real goal: undemining capitalism and the American way of life. How else to explain their death-grip on the Kyoto treaty or their lack of concern for the ecological burden of the 3rd world contries from whence the immigrants came?

Attention protectionists: In addition to the labor unions you can now count the enviornmentalists among your marxist allies. What does that tell you?

[Kenny Bunk]

Hey, this is the first logical thing these weirdos have ever done i.e, oppose illegal immigration. Among other things the illegals ARE wreaking havoc with the ecosystems of the Southwest.

And the strain of housing, feeding, and watering 15 million illegals certainly isn't doing the environment of CACALand any good.

[presidio9]

What about the ones who don't demand "special perks?" Can they stay? How severely would you classify the crime of illegal immigration? Is it better or worse than dealing drugs? Should we deport all drug dealers?

[cripplecreek]

Thats the way i see it too. It sounds like the sierra club might actually start getting it right.

[Dark Wing]

You are going to love this.

I have two friends from college who have been long time active members, Board members, and employees of the Sierra Club -- over 40 years. They have always been anti-immigrant, anti hunting, anti fishing, and pro-abortion. Looks like nothing has changed.

[presidio9]

The Sierra Club's stand on immigration has nothing to do with the enviornment and everything to do with protecting labor unions.

[Dante3]

All illegal aliens are criminals. They should not even be in this country. Of course they should be deported.

As to environmentalist, there are different kinds just s there are different kinds of Christians.

Attention protectionists: In addition to the labor unions you can now count the enviornmentalists among your marxist allies. What does that tell you?

That you like to pick fights and you can count to two, but not much more than that.

[dware]

When I read the title, all I could picture was a bunch of shoeless, hairy toe knuckled hippies in tie dye shirts smacking each other upside the head with their birkenstocks.

Not that I have anything against tie dye shirts, mind you.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Sierra's are the original "I've got Mine."

[presidio9]

All illegal aliens are criminals. They should not even be in this country. Of course they should be deported.

You failed to answer my question. Should we deport all "criminals?"

[presidio9]

Wrong answer.


The marxists are using you for your misguided sense of xenophobia.

[Dante3]

Of course we should deport illegal aliens. We have enough criminals of our own without importing them. As for other criminals, only if they are foreigners even though Mexico and Cuba want to dump their criminals and misfits on us. If our criminals want to leave the country, I've no problem with it. Your question is weird.
