TOM TANCREDO for PRESIDENT 2008:"OUR LAST AND ONLY HOPE TO SAVE AMERICA"
What does it say about a nation when everyone with gumption and a compass can't wait to head north?
So we should ruin our country so they avoid social unrest? Anyway, presumeably the most productive and hard working are the ones that make it here. Therefore, the argument could be made that by allowing them in we are preventing Mexico from getting its act together.
So stopping them at the boarder will actually help them in the long run. Why clean your house when you can live at the neighbors.
Well, of course! Mexican nimrods leave Mexico and enter the USA. Basically it's a criminal and unemployment drain for the Mexican society.
Although he is incapable of articulating a grownup reason for his bizarre need to erase our borders, the Vincente Fox cabin boy we call a president appears unwilling to let anything get in his way on this issue, least of all some trifling oath of office.
We know that is one of the main reasons for not enforcing the immigration laws.
Give truth a chance, Mr President, et al.
True, there are some jobs that some Americans won't do.
It's also true that you are creating an artificial labor glut driving down wages for jobs Americans will gladly do and do well. Not all Americans are the lazy dopes that plague some small businessmen, look harder for good employees, gentlemen. Or, as some of you are wont to tell us worker bees, move someplace where you find the opportunities are better.
Mr. President, real compassion is a regime change in Mexico.
The best thing we could do for Mexico (in the long run) is deport all the illegal aliens in the US (the vast bulk of whom are Mexican nationals) and seal our borders.
Imagine all those Mexicans -- who have tasted and grown accustomed to the America's freedom, opportunity, and prosperity -- being thrown backwards into Mexican society. Talk about social unrest! That's what it will take to fix Mexico internally.
I think its time to start donating to the Chiapas and other revolutionary groups in Mexico... If the Mexican consulates have gained so much power in the border states, I say its time to cut their balls off at home.
I've spent some time in Mexico in years past. Its problems stem from the economic theory that continues to this day,
socialism. It is, for the most part, a dirty place because no one is allowed to own anything unless they are well connected and bribe the right functionaries. As an example, for a person to cut down one tree, even one "privately owned", one needs a "permiso" from an office in the capital, Mexico City, and there are police on the look out for anyone cutting trees without that "permiso".
The government owns everything. The elites to whom I've talked pride themselves on the degree of "social justice" in their country and cannot figure out why anybody would want to leave.
Funny, he 'explained' it this way just after defining it as BOTH a political and an economic policy that brings roughly 17 billion US dollars into mexico each year.
I believe Tom Tancredo has the right stuff needed to hold the line on solving our immigration problems. His attention to detail is what is needed with so much that is at stake! The damage being done will determine if he can change the outcome being secretly agreed upon in direct opposition to the expressed will of We The People!
Yay. We're a safety valve. Go Bush.
...civil unrest that PRI helped cause.
they export their unrest to the US?
In other words we are propping up the maxist dicatorship known as Mexico. They vote but it doesn't reallly mean anything down there.
But I guess it's okay if their illegals cause social unrest in the US.
Here, while lined up to get their complementary VIP tickets to the Second Bush Inaugural Ball, illegal aliens express their thanks to the USA, happy not to be back in Mexico, lest there be unrest there. When not gesturing to observers, the Bush-invited migrants discussed how they and their offspring would bring about a lasting conservative majority to all of American electoral politics, just as they have in California.
