In all its cacophony and moments of absurdity, this morning's Today show segment on immigration was a supremely edifying example of the confusion, high emotion and complexity of the immigration debate. Matters reached their Alice-in-Wonderland apotheosis when Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was shown in a Senate committee arguing that illegal immigrants are good . . . 'citizens.' Said Feinstein:

"They pay taxes, their children are Americans, they go to schools, they're good citizens and they're needed."

This was in line with the fait accompli argument advanced by La Raza representative Janet Murguia. She referred to what she estimated as the 11-12 million illegal aliens in the country as "people are working in backbreaking work that nobody else wants to do in this country. We need to . . . understand that they are already part of this country."

To the criminal enterprise democrap party a voter need not be a citizen, just a voter for democrap candidates ... and the party bosses at state and municipality level will make sure the 'votes' are counted as legit. You see, illegal aliens are right down the democrat party ally ... the party of lies and killing are fine so long as they serve the empowerment of democrats. [If you doubt it, count the number of 'sacrificed' unborn that empowers the democrat party and which killing they work so hard to continue and seek vigorously to defend as a 'good thing'.]

Clearly, Travis, these invaders intend to make it THEIR land and toss the 'gringos' who will not bow to their demands. Why else would they/do they boldly display their Mexican flag when marching for 'U.S. inclusion'?

""That's when Dobbs got off perhaps his best line of the morning. "The National Council of La Raza is talking about race? La Raza - what does that mean? It means 'the race'!"

Which, if it follows the English usage, when used as a proper name, strongly implies superiority (as in The Football Team, The Luxury Car, The Pizza).

This is exactly what I kept hearing over and over yesterday. Illegal aliens are all the second coming of the Cleaver family. The bunch thay are occupying 30% of our jail cells must have gotten then by some terrible misunderstanding then, right?

Where there is the Cleaver family, can Eddie Haskel be far behind?

>>Check out the flags those "citizens" are flying ...

Did you see the one from the thread StoneColdGOP posted? This'll P you right off:

Here's the thread.

"It's Not Xenophobia, It's Xenonausea"

You forgot emergency rooms. I took a neighbor down for stiches recently and it was like a day at the UN, english was not the first language. Then to have one of the aids tell us not to sit to close to the illegals in the corner as they might have TB. All this in Kansas.

[rep-always]

That is funny.

Actually conversation captured by local radio reporter in Dallas:

Female Protestor: "George Bush wants to get rid of all immigrants."
Reporter: "Actually, Bush is on your side."
Protestor: "That's not what everyone's telling me!"

We'll be in a civil war, thanks to the greed of the Quisling Rinos for dirt cheap illegal alien labor.

Montebello High Scool, LA, March 27, 2006. That is the tall flagpole over the entire school.

Good points. In fact, all of what now passes for California and Arizona was "Mexican" for a grand total of about 30 years, and while I admit I don't know the actual population, I'd guess that the whole of Mexican-southwest U.S. at the time was less than the population of, say, New York.

and where was the resistance of that population to becoming part of the United States? It may have been territory in name, but it sure doesn't seem that Mexico had de facto control of that area during that time.

Good point again---actually, as I recall, the "mexicano" population GLADLY joined the U.S. as our government was far less oppressive than Santa Anna's.
