Oh, and..
"a tiny minority to 20+ million people."
Absolute bull-hockey.
You mean people going to the streets to oppose a resolution in the House of Representatives automatically makes all of them LaRaza supporters? Do you beleive Sam Brownback, Mike Dewine, Mel Martinez, etc. are LaRaza acolytes as well, then?
"No, I'm realistic."
That may be. I've also come to the conclusion that you are a seditionist or a liberal.
1) Why do they wear masks if they are so convinced they belong here?
2) Your homeland? Ah, you lost it in a WAR you morons and your damn lucky we let you keep Mexico back then since we ran your army back to Mexico City and could have taken all your land!!
Ungrateful jerks.
Insults are not becomming. Even if you're right, I have honestly portrayed what I believe is the truth.
Calling me a "liar" is no different than the left calling Bush a "liar" on WMD. Both he and I are honest in what we have told you.
But even if the numbers were 10%, that's still equivalent to 20 million illegals now, not 10.
In the mean time, it would help your argument if you actually had a link on that number. Until then I continue to believe the number was 1/3 of the country at one time was born elsewhere.
How about "Bring Back My Saturn"
thats a good start.
Dear Mr. President, I do love you with all of my heart, I truly do... I firmly believe that the decisions you make, are done with what you feel is in the best interest of our nation... But Mr. President, I am praying so hard that you take your head out of your butt, soon... Please look at what these "immigrants" think of the flag that so many men and women have fought, and have DIED defending!!! They might just as well be pissing on it... I am absolutely enraged at what I am seeing BY THEM, but worse, I'm ashamed at what I'm seeing BY YOU...
The medicine if you will is take a short term economic and even political hit by building a wall on the border, and heavy enforcement, fines, seizure of assets of those who hire illegal immigrants. Maqke it not worth someones while to hire illegals.
What you suggest narby is surrender. You and your ilk do not realize that after the Great Society, assimilation as it was is not going to happen, the liberal intrests are entrenched in education and even in corporate America. THis needs to end NOW.
Again, the city I grew up in was replete with first and second-generation Americans.
The common thread was that the vast majority wanted to become Americans.
There were some malconents in the mix who went back to the "old country" when they couldn't assimilate.
By the way, despite your tippy-toeing around the issue, they were legal immigrants.
Subject to all the sensible rules and regulations in effect: sponsors, jobs, etc.
They were willing to make the effort to become Americans, because that was their ultimate goal.
This is not the case with illegals waving the Mexican flag and wanting to transplant the pathologies of their native country to America.
This is a whole different breed.
They are traitors to our country and their constituents who have been bought for a few pieces of silver. Impeachment is too good for their likes.
That chants, Death to America, if there ever was one. Don't expect Dane to understand that, he holds it dear. Blackbird.
LOL!!!
*sigh*
I DID think it went immediately to mejico when it was stolen. Watching the large amounts of cars being stolen these past few days, I'm now convinced it's in LA.
They're already there, what are you, blind?
>That is unless we get off our sorry duff and make americans of these 10 million. <
How do you propose we do that? Especially since they refuse?
your hero tom tancredo
HE's my Hero too,Dane.....and use capital letters when you spell his name from now on.TOM TANCREDO for President(tomorrow is not soon enough)!
Ya outta hear the darlin's being interviewed on the radio.
If you think YOU'RE mad.....
The first idiot who fires shots will trigger a backlash and this debate will be over for good. The perp will be used to represent anyone who doesn't want full citizenship for all illegals. The mexicans will be instant victims, and Congress will give them anything they want overnight.
Anything.
Nice try, Dane.
Tancredo volunteered to step down after three, but respected the overwhelming voice of his constituents who asked him to remain in Congress for the expressed purpose of what he is doing now.
He's a true public servant, not some wanna-be asshat dictator.
CJ: You're either in denial, or purposely lying. In 1986, we granted legal status to 3 million illegals. NOW there are 12-20 MILLION illegals.
Huh, right. The problem is worse. That's what I said.
Do you have a reading problem?
