I agree with you. The nice guy approach is a spineless approach. I hope no one misunderstands me. I think most of the Mexican population are a very good people, and very industrious. I want to forever crush what has kept them from finding happiness within their own country. There's no room for negotiation with the Mexican government. An ultimatum is warranted.
Since you mentioned Iraq, I see a similar situation there. We need to tell the neighbors of Iraq to control their borders and keep anyone from entering across their border. If they continue to pour over the border, we need to expand our military operation into whatever country is allowing the insurgents into Iraq. There's nothing to negotiate.
We jusat need to do the things that need to be done. Trying to do things halfway and appease the opposition is more hurtful. Real men used to understand that you pull the tooth fast and get the pain over and it hurts less than prying it out slowly. That ethos has been lost and we pussy-foot around and more and more people get hurt unnecessarily to appease the deathrats.
I have compassion for the people that die in the desert too. If they weren't encouraged to come, they wouldn't meet a horrible end in the desert. You don't see the ACLU out there giving THEM aid and comfort. No, the only ones that ever help them is people like the minutemen who are out there to stop them, but end up helping and saving them too.
Frickin' lib-leninists make me so mad, some times I'd like to walk up to one and say "you can't understand this" and slap him and walk away, to paraphrase the NY councilman who wanted to do that to a random white person.
