Immigrant Nation, Divided Country

Are illegal workers stealing jobs and destroying the fabric of American society? Or are they energizing the U.S. economy and keeping the American dream alive? CNN Correspondent Maria Hinojosa, a Mexican-American herself, goes inside the lives of four families on the front lines of the growing debate over illegal immigration.

Premieres Sunday, October 17, 8 p.m. ET

Was watching CNN at 4:00 this afternoon. They had a preview of tonight's CNN presents that deals with the issue of illegal immigration.

While talking to Kelli Arena at the news desk, Maria Hinojosa mentioned the growing tension between residents in Georgia and what she called "undocumented workers." Arena caught her and brought up the fact that use of the word "undocumented workers" was controversial. Ms. Hinojosa then said the fact that some Americans refer to "undocumented workers" as "illegal aliens" was similar to the way that Jews were thought of as "illegal" in Nazi Germany, which led to the Holocaust.

Some troll FReepmailed me the other day with the same "immigration control = Nazism" argument.

My, but we had a good time batting him around.

Then, by Godwin's Law, she has forfeited the entire discussion.

The Leftists criminalize free speech, criminalize religion, criminalize gun ownership, and criminalize home schooling. But we're the Nazis.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat!

I saw this yesterday or the day before and no one wanted to challenge Hinojosa. Arena asked a couple of questions but in the end they all looked a Hinojosa as some sort of hero. I also found it odd that in one clip Hinojosa was using an interpreter. Does she affect that slight accent to show how connected she is to her heritage?

No doubt many leftists think that gun control was absent in the Third Reich.

Why don't you tune to Fox and drop CNN's ratings by another 5%?

It is a fact that is intentionally left out of the Leftist indoctrination in the public schools.

Nothing is "illegal" when it applies to a commie-dem. But let a conservative challenge a lib when he lies, and it is "hate speech"!

Skrew them all!

Oddly enough abortion-on-demand up to the time of birth was also legal in Nazi Germany (I think it was from 1940 onwards).

The Nazi analogy keeps on giving doesn't it?

In history, we were talking about the Bill of Rights, and which ammendments were obsolete (we finally agreed that none were). Anyway, when I brought up the fact that the Weimar Republic used the same logic liberals use for gun control, my teacher was impressed, but she didn't even know that...

Ms. Hinosa, why don't you inspect the lives of the families changed in my community this morning because of your wonderful, pitiful, undocumented criminals. Huh? I can't hear you. That's alright, I don't want to hear you.

I agree. Maria Hinojosa neglected to mention that the Nazis EXTERMINATED the "illegals" in their midst. What we demand is the timely, orderly, peaceful and bloodless deportation of illegal immigrants aka "undocumented workers," and hefty fines and prison terms for those of our so-called fellow citizens who harbor them. And yes, there is a difference between legal (including legitimate concerns for political/religious refugees seeking asylum - [Elian Gonzalez, for example, should have been allowed to stay in the United States]) and illegal immigration. I simply do not accept the proposition that we have any responsibility at all for the welfare of ILLEGAL immigrants.

Lets see....
Hitler was a Socialist.
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler May 1, 1927

Hitler was Pro-Abortion.
Hitler was Pro-Euthanasia.
Hitler was Pro-Homosexual.
Hitler was Pro-Animal Rights.
Hitler was Pro-Environment (a greenie)
Hitler was Anti-Tobacco.
Hitler was Anti-Christian.


Does that agenda SOUND FAMILIAR?? (Don't forget W is a huge supporter of Israel, while the Left supports Palestine)

http://constitutionalistnc.tripod.com/hitler-leftist/

Recall that Hitler and Stalin invaded Poland together in 1939....

Don't let the Left get away with the "Republicans are Nazis" anymore!!!!! Some of you ask...why do they try to attach something so vile and negative that has nothing to do with our party?

"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and degrade our critics … when obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic … Constantly associate those who oppose us with those names that already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become 'fact' in the public mind."

--CCCP 1943
