Amazing. Mexico has conquered the United States without firing a shot.

[Jorge]

So, you support LAW BREAKERS who jumped ahead of the LAW ABIDING. Glad to get you on record, in support of BREAKING THE LAW.

Spare me the self-righteous legalistic crap.

Our legal system give breaks to people all the time based on good behavior.... ambulances are allowed to run red lights and break all kinds of traffic laws if it means saving a life.

There's NOTHING wrong with giving a person a chance who's made a decent life for themselves here in the USA, and cut them a legal break. NOTHING.

[who knows what evil?]

Not just our American dream, but our children and grandchildren's hard-won American dreams. People whose families paid with the lives of loved ones for what these people just want to barge in and help themselves to for free, and all the time acting as if somehow we owe it to them. This is what liberalism and political correctness is doing to this country.

Great post. Glad I don't have kids.

[Travis McGee]

They did try, and they got away with it.

The criminal invaders marched out, gave Uncle Sam the stinky finger, said "BOO!" and Uncle Sam ran away and hid.

[mthom]

Read articles about the march. They state that many "immigrants" took the day off to go to the march. Youre quickly staying into apologist territory when you claim that many illegals were not at the march. It is an unreasonable position.

[TheLion]

So, lets just open up our borders to all the billions in the world needing to feed their faces....get them all here and then we can sort it out....give me a break!

[JustPiper]

This stuff is still going on...man!

[Travis McGee]

I'd guess 20 to 30 million total. The Social Security admin says that there are 9.5 million "unaccounted" SSNs alone. THose are just the illegals brazen enough to apply for "over the table" jobs. Add the "black market" cash-only illegals, their wives, girlfriends, kids etc etc etc.

[danmar]

We truly need to mobilize!

Yep, elect strong spined officials to represent your point of view in the Congress/Senate.
That will be the first step in the right direction IMO.

[mthom]

Our legal system does give people breaks for good behavior after they have been punished in some way. So you analogy doesnt fit. You can argue for giving amnesty with illegals and still recognize the unfairness of rewarding illegals while others wait in line. Do you know many illegals?

[Lurker]

There's everything wrong with it. They broke the law.

They're no better than drug dealers, pimps, or any other class of medium level law breaker. Let 'em go back home and stand in line with everybody else.

Besides we tried that amnesty crap once before. All it got us was a new flood of illegals.

Round 'em up. Send 'em home. Humane is giving them a sandwich while they wait for the bus or airplane to leave.

[Travis McGee]

Oh, spare me your sleazy rationalizations for BREAKING THE LAW.

Which laws to we get to choose to break, with impunity? Tax laws? Gun laws?

We know your game.

[Jorge]

So, lets just open up our borders to all the billions in the world needing to feed their faces....get them all here and then we can sort it out....give me a break!

No! I said build the wall. Stop the bleeding now.

But give a break to those already here.

I think I'm being reasonable.

[mthom]

Thats not what hes advocating as far as I can tell. Open borders for only those who can walk here? yes. The rest of the world? no.

[TheLion]

After some respones to posts of people in California and numerous conversations with people in Texas, I think my first two numbers are pretty close. How many more than 20 million are in other places throughout the US?

[mthom]

What is your response when your illegals turned "guest workers" decide they dont need to leave when their time is up?

[roofgoat]

I agree - one world govt too. FREEDOM for all at the taxpayers expense. And if I don't like it, brand me a racist and throw me in jail.

I keep 25%, the rest to needy throughout the world.

[Travis McGee]

The Quislings disgust me even more than the illegal invaders.

I'm sure that if the internet had been around in 1940, there would have been "Frenchmen" and "Norwegians" posting that their "German brothers" were really only bringing progress and prosperity, and that they should be welcomed with open arms.

Quisling: A word Norwegians are not very proud of having given to the world: it derives from Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945), a Norwegian politician who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. He established his name as a synonym for "traitor", someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country, especially by serving in a puppet government. Quisling was found guilty of high treason in 1945, and was executed by firing squad on the 24th October 1945.

[TheLion]

I didn't see that, maybe I need to cut you some slack.:-)

[Travis McGee]

Note his head fake, saying "I support building the wall."

Like hell he does. He knows it will never be built by our Quisling leaders, so it's an easy throw away card.
