We are not a "nation of immigrants." This is both a factual error and a warm-and-fuzzy non sequitur. Eighty-five percent of the residents currently in the United States were born here. Sure, we are almost all descendants of immigrants. But we are not a "nation of immigrants."
(Isnt it funny, by the way, how the politically correct multiculturalists who claim we are a nation of immigrants are sooo insensitive toward Native American Indians, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians, and descendants of black slaves who did not immigrate here in any common sense of the word?)
Even if we were a nation of immigrants, it does not explain why we should be against sensible immigration control.

I agree with what you say. All I was meant to say is that it is abortion which has led to many saying there is a labor shortage, but they won't ever admit it.
There are very few truly 'low skill' jobs. Low wages allow human labor to be squandered by simply hiring more people to do less per hour, instead of hiring higher skilled (or at least literate) employees, providing more training and/or improving capital equipment.
I have no sympathy, indeed I have a lot of disgust, with people who won't lift a finger to help themselves. They are a huge part of the problem. As long as we have sanctuary cities and local officials who refuse to do their part we will not have the solutions we crave. It is not just a matter of federal jurisdiction, and so what if it were. Why should that stop you from protecting what's yours?
Unbelievable!!
I wonder what black Americans think of this kind of nonsense as illustrated by this Mexican rally?
Some of the illustrious leaders of our adventure into Iraq are ready to blame the military so as to draw the heat away from them and their cozy think tank jobs.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Michelle Malkin ping list...
SUPERB tagline.
Last year an illegal alien tried to break into my place. I called ICE. They said they don't do detentions based on citizen complaints. What would you suggest, a citizen's arrest? And we do have private group border patrols.
The problem with local police checking immigration status, if they're even allowed, is that gangs will rule the state if everyone here illegally will not talk to police re: crimes.
Bumping your post too cuz I KNOW I'm going to steal it someday! ;)
The Quislings are selling their nation because they have a personal grudge they are carrying....an identity grudge most often.
or in some cases they have been brainwashed with eurocentric guilt over everyone not being the "same"
CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada
by Phyllis Schlafly July 13, 2005
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
"Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."
This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.
It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.
A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.
Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.
The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.
The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.
The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.
Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.
To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.
The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.
Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.
When I had my last baby, I shared a room with an illegal mother also having a Caesarian section. We all paid for hers via taxes. We have health insurance, we pay 20% of every bill, and it took a while to get our 20% paid off from the C-section.
Our kids have to wait to go to the dentist until we have extra funds to send them. Illegals' kids get free dental, and the schools push it by sending home flyers in Spanish telling the families where to go.
We have a last name that could be Hispanic (it's not), so we of course got on the free breakfast and lunch list at the school. I am surprised that the government trusts the illegals to provide dinner themselves to their kids.
This is reaching the breaking point here.
That's easy. The traitors are for the NAC.
Most of these folks are really nice people
I know these people are "NICE" people but where have you been??? Are you a property owner?Do you pay taxes?If you own property then you need to know this.I'm 59 yrs old and I pay school taxes....alot of 'em.I don't even have a child in school!But,my school taxes go up every year.Why?Because my Government does not uphold the Constitution of the USA and hasn't for many, many years.It's because they were not policed and we allowed them to do as THEY pleased.WE get lazy and think that they know WHAT's BEST for us.That's a lie from the DEVIL!
If I were the owner of a large sucessful business(or small sucessful business) and I had a lot of money invested in it..Do you think the wise thing for me to do would be to just let the employees run my business and give 'em the check book and go fishing?or..watch over the investment because I'm the BOSS(owner) so my grand children would have an inheritance and look back on me and say"My grandfather was a wise man and I'll do as he did and carry this business on to the next generation"?
It filters all the way down to the local Government,even to the cities'.Just think about what happened at the Towers for a moment.IT was a DIRECT result of this.The American people stopped Tending the Store and the Employees just made up their own Rules.
Hey,I love Mexican people,I love their culture and I love 'em because they're people and I even learned their language.. because I wanted to.I thank God for them.
They are "nice" people,...But,I can't let emotions run my business for me..emotions are usually wrong and they get me in trouble.We run the BUSINESS(USA)based on our forefathers victories and mistakes,ideals,laws(Constitution)and by the Word of God, both already written down.It's wisdom and knowledge and experience,mostly by the Grace of God and none of our on doing considering all the mistakes we've made so far.
So, who was to blame for 9/11?I hear many names called to be the ones at fault that killed all those people in the Towers.In reality Brad...it was you and I!!and all Americans for being so lackadaisical with no diligence to enforce the laws(rules)that were already written down on paper with good "old ordinary" common sese.How can we apolige to them Brad?We can't!!But..we can go back to plan "A" and start taking care of business.The President is just an employee(the forman)no matter what his name is.Your the Boss Brad..tell him how you want your business to be run and don't let emotions get in the way of building this country your grandchildren's future is at stake.As for me,I say America cannot afford 12 million people who waded across the Rio Grande just to tell us how wrong we are.
TOM TANCREDO for President in 2008!!
less government and the people rule!
I'd say you got that right!!
Mornin Travis.
Easy Does it :)
While they march, we...uh... I'm going to bed. Hopefully I will still have a country when I wake up.
Or at least, most of one.
Last time I looked we were a nation of fools being overrun by illegal immigrants.
That is, unless China and the UN haven't already called "dibs" on the rest of the US...
