LOL! I know......"sometimes you feel like a nut....sometimes you don't"...but I just always am! : )

[ForGod'sSake]

Say rod, would you mind humoring me and tell me if you see any downside to uncontrolled immigration?

[Brad’s Gramma]

There's talk all OVER this forum, in a LOT of subjects regarding being disgusted with RINO's.

Tancredo threw aside the PC that we ALL, I believe you included, are sick & tired of. PC WILL be the death of this nation if we don't all grow a backbone and tell it like it is.

The rest of your post to me? Shakin' my head.

I have to go get some stuff done, so no, I'm not ignoring you if you post...I'll BBL.

[jmc813]

They don't bother me at all. If the old folks are enjoying it and believe that they are doing something to help their country I'm all for it.

I'm glad. But you were criticizing this group largely made up of veterans for the conditions you claim they work in. I'm still curious as to what the worst conditions you faced during your military career were.

[seemoAR]

I am not talking about nukes. I am talking about an illegal invasion of the country that I took an oath to protect many years ago. You had better wake up. More and more private citizens of this nation are. Illegal aliens and their enablers are like cockroaches. When the light is turned on they run for the hills

[judgeandjury]

Do they call themselves the Minutemen because they only sit in their lawn chairs watching for babysitters for one minute a day?

Actually they're watching for your buddies, the illegal alien lawbreakers.

"tell me if you see any downside to uncontrolled immigration? "

We don't have uncontrolled immigration.

[ForGod'sSake]

We don't have uncontrolled immigration.

How about uncontrolled question dodgers?

[Leatherneck_MT]

I see your ignorance is showing again DUmmie. Why don't you go back to DU land where you belong.

[bayourod]

Did you take an oath to watch for migrant workers crossing the border? There is no "invasion" of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution. Do you believe in using original intent to interpret the Constitution or do you believe in reading into it anything that suits your political agenda? Immigration was considered a state responsibility (eg Texas Rangers) until an activist Supreme Court ruled it to be a federal matter in the 1880s.

It wasn't until Prohibition was passed that Congress established a Border Patrol to keep booze out. (I guess you would call it an "invasion" of Tequila.)

If you can only justify your position by blatantly distorting the meaning of the Constitution you must not have any good reasons for being a Minuteman.

Invasion of fire ants, invasion of mini skirts, invasion of killer bees, invasion of Italian shoes, invasion of hip huggers, invasion of British sitcoms, invasion of French wines, invasion of Irish steppers, invasion of Russian caviar.....

[ForGod'sSake]

You forgot the British invasion of the 60's my man. And you still haven't answered my previous question. If you're not interested in answering it, just say so.

[bayourod]

My reply to you got posted on a different thread. Here it is:

Well if you want to go back that far, add the invasion of the Japanese beetle.

We don't have uncontrolled immigration and I don't support it.

We have foreign workers being sucked into the United States by our economic furnace. It doesn't suck refugees, elderly family members and others wishing to immigrate here to start a new life. When the furnace burns down the workers will no longer come, but the immigrants will.

[ForGod'sSake]

We don't have uncontrolled immigration and I don't support it.

Alrighty then; something to work with.

So you would agree that unrestricted/uncontrolled immigration would not be a good thing for America?

We'll just take this a step at at time...

A handful of elderly "vigilante" grumps who will sit in lawn chairs did better than the border patrol for free.

[TomasUSMC]

The Border Patrol are a joke. But if you want to believe that they have solved the border problem go right ahead.

[reelfoot]

Minutemen Heros BUMP.

Close the borders NOW.

[TomasUSMC]

We have uncontrolled immigration

[manic4organic]

We have uncontrolled immigration

Too right. The only controlled immigration is over those who chose to abide by the laws of the U.S.A. All Rod's friends are the uncontrolled hords streaming across, seemingly at will, until patriots like the Minutemen put a dent in the flow. No, they haven't stopped it. Yes, they've slowed it down and, as important, drawn much needed attention to the problem so that our so-called leaders might want to save their phony-baloney jobs by doing something about it.

[judgeandjury]

Did you take an oath to watch for migrant workers crossing the border?

Actually they're illegal alien lawbreakers.

[seemoAR]

You are right. I would put your buddies in the same group as fire ants and killer bees.

What do you call it if a foreign country is sending its people into this country? The Constitution is to defend against enemies foreign and domestic, but you knew that didn't you.

Actually, I am in your debt. I never realized that people like you existed. I did not know things were as bad as they have gotten. Thank you again.
