no, they are an honest bunch. And why is it a bad thing? How did you get here? Tens of Millions of Americans have flocked here since our country's founding and its only made us stronger and more prosperous. Reagan said:

I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.

And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after two hundred years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.


"the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here"

My family came through Ellis Island, legally. They also assimilated, rather than wanting moving as part of an organized "reconquista" invasion.

They didn't sneak over the border, breaking the laws of the country they were moving to.

You don't live anywhere near a border state, do you?

Anyway, the Losertarians are so because they have gotten less and less votes in every national election in the last 20 years.

75% of the US wants the borders enforced. The Losertarians want no borders. They are not a viable third party. Sorry!

Oh, and for the record, I consider myself a "little L libertarian." I'm disgusted by the Big L Libertarian party even more than the GOP.

teeming with people

You got that right. The CAFTA open borders people forsee a USA with a population of 1 billion people by 2050.

Our constitutional govnerment as designed cannot effectively represent that large a population, but the way the trade agreements are written, it won't matter. There are supranational agencies waiting in the wings, some already acting in the place of natinal governments. What you advocate is the demise of the only free people on earth.

Are you serious? With all the missile batteries and no fly zones that didn't exist 8 years ago? The street cameras, the metal detectors and bomb sniffers? Come on!
