Yeah they really are promoting anti-abortion legislation(eyes rolling).
Cue up the picture from today.
Bump to find later...
Illegally vote, obviously.
That's one of the things I think we've improved in the last couple of years. Voting ID laws, etc.
I hear you on their attitude. But I've read similar things about how people thought 100 years ago about recent European immigrants that still had serious accents.
But if we do our part, emphasize english, and promote this country in schools (which we USED to do), we can fix this problem.
As I've said a couple of times, the real enemy is liberalism. Mass deportation of 10 million people, as much as it would be the *right* thing to do, just won't happen. We'll have to make the best we can with that situation.
I'm not surrendering to the left.
Yes absolutely we can deport 10 million people, by fining and jailing the people who hire them, especially the ones who pay cash. If they are only here to work, maybe they can't make as much in Mexico, but some is better than none. See a few business's go under due to heavy fines and illegals won't be able to beg a job (unless they come here legally). It's really very simple.
McCain doesnt know amnesty when he creates it!
I am disgusted. Each day I become more disgusted. I sent these photos to various anchors at Fox news so hopefully they'll get some airplay. People need to see these to get it about what it is we're dealing with. These people do NOT want to be Americans from everything I can tell from reading about, seeing and looking at photos of all the protests. Enough is enough!
I don't think you quite 'get it'. There is as much will at this moment of time to enforce our borders as there will ever be. If this shamnesty crap gets signed into law, it's over for this country. The leftists will send another wave over the border, and there will be a bloodless (at best) socialist revolution in this country. Count on it. There are only 2 sides of this issue for the American taxpaying citizen... Victory or defeat. Get on the right side, stamd and fight, or get out of the way.
If shamnesty goes through, we won't have anything left in this country worth fighting for in 10 years tops.
It's a long way from legal status to citizenship and voting. That's an appropriate fight, to make sure immigrants are truly assimilated before we give them citizenship. But that is where we should fight this issue, not on the idea that we're going to have the military do mass deportations. That just won't happen.
That makes it pretty clear what your country means to you. (assuming your a U.S. citizen)
1836 - Mexico City begins to secularize missions and begins to establish rule of civil law through the presence of Mexican troops and on-site governors. Secularization completed by 1839.
1842- Last Mexican governor dispatched to California. Home rule revolt, not involving non-Hispanic, white Europeans, or illegal, US immigrants, starts upon arrival and governor forced to flee in 1845. At that time California had about 100K natives, 9K Mexicans and 2K illegal immigrants from the US.
1845 - US begins to explore Alta California with both troops and warships.
1846 - Bear Flag revolt and war between Mexico and US.
1847 - Cahuenga Capitulation in January 1847
Although he now lists Presbyterian as his religion he graduated from one of those "shadowy" Catholic High Schools.
Holy Family in Broomfield, Colorado.
I found the below link by doing a google search.
These people aren't going to be sent back to mexico, so the fight is with liberalsim and that's it.
Fighting to send these people home will only drive them into the socialist camp, as prop 187 did in California in the 80's. What it will not do is get them sent home.
They're staying. So now what do we do?
Campo Cahuenga is right down the road!
Los Primativos
Yeah, I saw it. I'm talking about the messages we should be sending to the mexican community, not what's in todays news. sheesh.
Amnesty in any form is liberalization of the law, liberaliztion of our ethics, and liberalization of our sovereignty. You're in extreme denial, here or purposely on the wrong side.
Right. And that's America, immigrants start at the bottom and work their way up. And I bet someone thought that your ancestors were 'filthy invaders'. And some of the granchildren of these illegals will be telling it to another group of immigrants that they need to go home.
What makes them so is they broke our laws, snuck in...
Really? Not having the proper papers and breaking civil statutes makes you an 'invader' now? Interesting defenition...
...hate us, hate our culture, hate our language, hate our heritage, want to dispossess us.. and so on.
Now you're being paranoid and attributing sentiments of a tiny minority to 20+ million people.
We lost that battle 20 years ago and nobody noticed. All we can do is figure out how to make the best of it now, and getting mad won't fix anything.
thishas been going on longer then 20 yrs, He** mom's used to come across the border to Chula Vista in the 70's have the baby, get on AFDC and Medi-Cal the go back to TJ, and then come back every month and cash their check,there are more check cashing places along the border then I don't know what..
