I cannot believe he would ask us to behold that particular thread... if that was the best he has, he ain't got much

[John Lenin]

The GOP may be riding high right now, but even figures as diverse as Rush Limbaugh, David Frum, and John Fund, have warned Republicans that the issue of immigration threatens to tear the party apart with internal conflict. If what's happening on Free Republic is any indication, the blood could be flowing in the streets.

Immigration is not the issue tearing me apart, it's the obscene spending and pork bills, if we cut spending the illegals will be off the gravy train and the problem will solve itself.

[L.N. Smithee]

You know you're truly making an impact when you're attacked by radical lefties, the MSM, Sean Hannity, and neo-hating paleos all in the same week! : )

[WindOracle]

Personally, I prefer Newts position on sealing both borders and deporting the illegals.. but it is not even close to an issue which will make me abandon Bush and vote for the dumbocrats.

[John Lenin]

Give them one year to go back to Mexico and fill out the proper paperwork and they have to have a sponsor (job) before they can get back in, if the legal family can't afford it, they should go back with the anchor baby. Legalizing them and putting them on welfare for 5 years woudl be a disaster.

[John Lenin]

Think about, the airlines and greyhound would love a bill that forces them to go back to Mexico, it's a win, win, all the way around.

...but can't we add a moat, landmines, and machinegun nests...
Now, now, we don't want overkill (though landmines in the middle of the two fence intrigues me).
Eyes in the Darkness: Patrolling the Border Feb 8, 2005
With just the naked eye, we're able to watch the migration begin. We saw more than a dozen people hiding in the brush, we assume preparing to come into the U.S. illegally. The border here is a simple barbed wire fence, with plenty of cover of both sides. A lot of the people crossing over will wait in the thick growth until dark, then cross over quickly, hoping not to be spotted.
But as sun sets, the United States Border Patrol prepares to set a new, high tech arsenal into motion. At the command center in Nogales, agents monitor readouts from hundreds of motion sensors buried in the ground, and survey miles of terrain with sophisticated cameras that peer down on the border from towers several stories high.
Snip...The night we were there, about 40 illegal immigrants were taken into custody.
GO TEAM!

Taking Back the Border TechBeat Fall 1997
The old chain-link fence hung in tatters across this 5-mile strip that runs inland from the Pacific Ocean and separates the United States from Mexico.
Snip...To that end, the government increased the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) budget to $3.1 billion this year, part of which paid for more helicopters, planes, bicycles, boats, horses, and all-terrain vehicles, as well as infrared and motion sensors, cameras, floodlights, and night vision equipment. The agency also expects to add 1,000 more agents per year for the next 5 years, for an eventual total of 10,000 agents.

I haven't been banned or suspended yet. I think it's because I'm always right.

[John Lenin]

You just have more tolerance for numbskulls than I do . :-)

[SoDak]

There's a whole group of folks on this site that I won't waste time replying to.

[John Lenin]

I try not to take the bait anymore.

[MadIvan]

The French have blocked the Allies in every international forum when we tried to take out Saddam. They continue to be a thorn in the side - having the mickey taken out of them is the least they can expect.

As for me, I intend to tend to my knitting.

"it's because they've moved into the palaces"

Ya been holdin' out on us again Jim.

[Smartaleck]

Rumor....After assuming the nome de plume "Milo Bloom" both wrist suddenly went limp!

Not to worry though. He now has matching sheets and curtains.

[Fenris6]

maybe its stuck..

[GOPcapitalist]

Given the Wlat Brigade's disposition to getting itself banned for all sorts of disreputable reasons including but not limited to praising Michael Moore and posting neo-nazi garbage, I am content to let the record speak for itself. Far more often it is the rabid Lincoln idolaters who run into trouble with the forum's posting guidelines. The result is always predictable.

[hchutch]

As to Mr. Scallon's complaint about VDARE. I read stuff on that site. Some people I know have read stuff on that site. All are folks I'd consider pretty conservative - or at least Republican. All were sickened by the stuff on that site.

You made the right call banning that site, Jim.

[wagglebee]

I'm just shocked!
