Interesting. More importantly, what does the Democratic Platform say? Seems it should also be in the comparison.

I agree, but the democrats platform has no immigration plank in it. WHY? Because they agree with Bush and they want the hispanic vote. Didn't Clinton certify 2 million mexicans as voters in 1994?

Turning the United States into a third world quagmire has worked well in California. I note that the president doesn't consider California worth spit when it come to elections though.

Yeah, thanks for nothin' spit-head.

Thanks for the post.

I don't see a post of the democrat plank on immigration

Go to John Kerry's official web site just to get an idea of what he has proposed (though he might chance his mind tomorrow).

Amnesty in 100 days. If he's elected (I doubt it) and the Republicans still have control of the House (most likely) this will never pass.

The stalemate on this issue continues. Best hope is Prop. 200 passes big in Arizona and maybe we'll see the momentum start shifted our way.

And, for God's sake, close your borders to islam!

Maybe more people in America will start thinking like this after what happened in Russia this week. Apathy in in abundance here in this country.

Yeah, thanks for nothin' spit-head.

Correctomundo! Today's OC Register reports Nelson Rockefeller Institute of Government singling out Santa Ana, CA, as having the highest urban hardship nationwide (i.e.,hardest place to make ends meet), over Miami in #2, Fresno at #8, and L.A. at #9. Gee, wonder what the common factor could be?

It also lists the percent of Santa Ana population over 25 with less than a high school education at 56.8%. These figures were based on 2000 data. Am sure it's much higher four years hence ... especially after Jorge's amnesty announcement. The report cites the "residents" as complaining about the lack of affordable housing (while collecting every subsidy known to man and sending $$ "back home").

Thanks for the comments. I'm sure you'll agree, a person would have to be a complete vegetable not to be able to realize we're getting screwed by this invasion.

The Platform should read:

Recind the law that makes anyone born here a citizen and return to the pre 60s law that you had to be born to an american citizen.

Eliminate all social services to illegals.

Arrest and fine/imprison employers (companies and individuals) who hire illegals and deport the illegals that were hired.

Enforcing the above 3 actions and the illegals will deport themselves!

It is no improvement at all, it is out and out surrender of the United States to any foreign power which seeks to colonize the U.S. and so dominate it.

PERIOD.

He uses every play on words that he can to try to disguise his amnesty agenda

Series BUMP to that.

That's all this "plank" is -- the January Amnesty for 40 million Mexicans, turned into the asserted official policy of El Partido Republica Nueva.

The only one that makes sense.

No other immigrants are so bold about declaring their culture as superior or worth maintaining ahead of Anglo Saxon American culture as are the Latinos. They think of themselves as a nation within a nation wherever they go. Most of our illegal immigrants are Latino. We've just got too much of them coming in to be assimilated. Pretty soon they're going to start trying to assimilate us!

To late. The pandering/greed at the corportate/business level is stunning. In many regions now, to be a manager or supervisor the *demand* bilingual/Spanish.

If anyone does not believe this, go to some of the biggest job forums. Read it and weep.

I could not agree more. See #53.

Thank you for posting this. This is one reason why I will vote for the constitution party. I cannot support the republican party any more.
Call it what you want to but the republican party is not doing anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Native born Americans are ceasing to grow their numbers. Third world immigrants are failing to assimilate.
Our public education system is a failure. We are below those of other developed nations.
The US is outsourcing white collar jobs to foreign nations.
Our "meals on wheels" armed services are in countless countries around the world instead of protecting our borders.
The US budget deficit is above 4 percent of GDP.
Our trade deficit is 6 percent of GDP.
The dolloar has lost a third of its value against the Euro.
One sixth of all mfg. jobs are gone.
The government has balloned to one fifth of our economy.
We started a war based on lies which has now fomented world wide hatred around the world. It is right to fight terrorism but let us hit the correct targets, ie Saudi Arabia. Afterall weren't 18 of the 19 hijackers Saudis?
We blindly back Israel's illegal settlements and "Berlin Wall". Despite what people are saying the reason why the Arab world hates us is because of our unconditional backing of what Israel does, right or wrong.
I'll stop here but the list could go on.

I live in So. California and the illegal mexicans call their immigration the silent war. We are importing a third world culture that accepts corruption, crime, and low standard of living as the norm.

I agree with most of what you stated. As far as the wars go, we just lost another 8 men in Iraq today. We are not fighting wars like we use to.

Being compassionate at the risk of more American lives is not acceptable.

That platform should be the Republican one. It actually sounds like an American Citizen with no pre-sold loyalties wrote it.

Constitution Party, eh?

Wonder if they would be a more appropriate protest vote for Political Human Sacrifice? Got to be better than the Democrap candidates.

..."The number of Christian Conservatives I know that will be voting R for the last time in 2004 would scare you"...

add me, and my entire immediate family to that list. Born, raised and taught Republican values. Republicans don't stand for their values anymore...because they don't want to upset the people that shouldn't be here...!

I remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I was young but I still remember.

Where is Harry Truman when you need him? He wouldn't put up with this insanity!!
