You are out of your mind..
If we have to fight these people, better now than 10 years from now. They hate America because they hate us.
"We've done a lousy job of assimilation, and we're paying the price."
We've? Who's we've? You must be talking about multiculturist wankers who run our schools and who have cowed most governmental institutions and banned policies of assimilation. Otherwise, its the crappy attitude of the illegals to blame, not we, as in "we've"
"A.C.C.E.S.S. - Arab Community...?" WTF???
Tell that your neighbor who comes and squats your property and refuses to leave.
I don't know.
Unreal, bump.
>And I bet you that some liberal teachers in that school egged them on, or do you disagree with that.<
Just throw it on the large pile of excuses.
As if they weren't already inclined to believe from their parents and the fascist culture that the southern states belong to Mexico just because they are "La Raza".

Mexican illegals protest immigration bill. Freepers protest said bill. One side says its too much, the other says its not enough. Can you see how this might confuse some non-freepers? Instead of branding everyone an alien supporter, why don't you state why you believe what you believe instead of shooting from the hip?
Truck them down to Mexico...and keep them there. What part of illegal don't they understand?????
Great post.
Ok now Im starting to get pissed. For one replacing the mexican flag over the US flag is treason and shows their lack of assimilation. I feel that these people do not have a clue at how quick and brutally any form of insurrection would be put down after what the civil war taught the US. This is one war I will gladly go die in. The territorial integrity of the US will not change and they need to realize that we control the skies and oceans of the western hemisphere.
No, they are the new Democratic voting base, if amnesty is passed.
In his prime, Chavez fought constantly against illegal immigration. He frequently complained that the Immigration & Naturalization Service wasn't tough enough. When Chavez would lead a strike, the grower would send trucks across the Mexican border, load them up with scabs, and race back to the Central Valley in the dead of night. Chavez even offered his UFW staffers to the INS to serve as volunteer border guards to keep Mexicans from sneaking into California.
Yep.
WRONG. I grew up in California, and CA would have become a blue state if Wilson was for Prop 187 or not, the worst Wilson did was speed up the process of the state becoming Democratic by an election cycle or two.
The Hispanics that voted GOP in CA tended to be the ones who have been in CA for 3-4 or more generations, they in many cases fled the socialist/masonic revelution in Mexico, and had many elements of old world conservatism. The illegals(and in many cases post 1965 legal) immigrants that changed CA had a far more socialistic outlook when coming to the US, and did not come to the US for any kind of "freedom", they came to the US for economic reasons, and sadly since the late 80s, the laws against illegal immigration have not been enforced. The net impact of uncontrolle dimmigration is it changed what were once middle class neighborhoods in CA, the residents in t hese areas in many cases left CA allthogher, and areas that were mostly working class Anglo voters became soldily Democratic Hispanic voters, and the rest is history.
I am sick and tired of so called "conservatives" making any king of excuse for this insanity. If you want the US to be like California, with 2 hr commutes, 10% personal income tax rates, many counties having a close to 9% sales tax and more laws and regulations that make getting a business off the ground almost impossible, then be my guest. But, if or should I saw when that day comes and Californias politics become national, then do not cry that your taxes are higher, do not cry about that new and pesky payroll tax to pay for national health care and so on. I have had it with the pro "business" Conservatives.
Not "dangerous". Just realistic. These folks aren't going anywhere, and note how just a bill in congress has fired them up. If we mobilized the 101st airborne to try and round them all up (and it would take a very large chunk of military to do the job), they'd burn down a large piece of the country by tomorrow morning.
There is talk about the "Arab Street". That's nothing compared to the "Chicano Street".
I figured it out that we've lost the battle with keeping immigration quotas 15 years ago when I personally flew an airplane over the Cinco de meyo (sp?) party in Downtown LA. The pictures of the half million in downtown LA the other day was nothing to the party these people hold there every year. It makes new years eve in Times Square look like a picnick.
We lost the battle with where these people live a long time ago. The only realistic thing we can do now is try hard to make them Americans. And threats that will put their back against the wall are the exact wrong thing to do to make them *want* to be americans.
