Whew, toking on the bong tonight?
>If my broad statement of direction is wrong, then make your case.<
No. For the past couple years on this issue, all I've heard from your side is to ask us how we can deport and process and so on. Many of us have labored to come up with a semblence of a plan for it.
Guys like Michael Medved are so willing to shoot down any suggestion of deportation, and write the caller off as a Savage-ite(thus being able to ignore anything he says, regardless of validity). Yet he never explained, at least up until I quit listening to him, how he would like to process all the illegals and pay for it.
So, again, I ask, what ideas do you have for all this assimilation? Who's responsibility is it? How is it enforced?
"I find it soooo ironic that the Mexican flag has the same colors as the Iranian flag and very close to the Iraqi flag......."
And the Italian flag. Probably several others, too.
The US flag has the same colors as the French and Russian flags, too. Is that soooo ironic to you, too?
He's a grandstander and like jesse jackson doesn't want the issue of racial animus to go away, tancredo does not want the issue of immigration to be solved.
The issue makes the funds flow into his and bay buchanan's DC Pac.
He could reach out to good conservatives such as Kyl/Cornyn and get a good bill sent to the President, but it seems the funds flowing into his PAC is more important to him, IMO.
Both are globalists.
Both are members of the CFR.
Both work for big business.
Prove me wrong.
Sorry, I don't do drugs so go insult someone else.
Most of the migration from the NorthEast to California took place in the 50s though 70s, and whil it did have an impact, that impact was largely done by the late 80s, and was limited to a relatively few geographic areas such as West LA, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Marin and parts of San Mateo counties, and again, even as recently as 1990 with the exception of San Francisco and Marin, there still was around a 45% Conservative base in these areas.
What one has to do is compare the 1988 election map to the 04 election map, and see what drove the change, and its simple, white working class voters in the 90s largely left California, and in their place were mostly voters who were immigrants, and this shifted California to the left. Even in my neck of the woods, the Bay Area, had fairly large pockets of Republicanism, even conservative Republicanism up till 1990, but as formerly conservative bastions such as South San Jose, Sunnyvale for example, changed demographically, their politics shifted to the left. The impact can be seen in an even more dramatic fashion in Southren California.
And .. it's the teachers who are encouraging the kids to do this. They should be bussed along with the others.
They are our enemy. They seek to replace our culture, tradition, and language with their own. Rhetoric is a meaningless issue.
Force alone will decide this issue, or we will lose our country to them. Nothing short of force is going to work.
Most probably, we will settle for a prolonged retreat. We do not have the will to do anything anymore.
I agree. Good analysis. My family is actually much more Castillian in looks (some blue eyes, some green, and light hair) and culturally we're very different.
They are not going to have the support they want no matter what they do. And if they keep up the protesting, they'll have even more people against them (kindof like the Dems at Wellstone's memorial).
Oh, don't thank me. that's just my sarcastic way of pointing out new posters who side with the anti-american welfare sucking illegals.
Again your are blind. First off, the expensive produce doesnt hold water one bit, yes, it may be 20-25% more expensive in some cases, but not the dramatic price increses that simple minded people put forth(example, a picker whop makes $5 who picsks 4 heads of lettuce an hour labor cost per head would be 2 cents, it it was $15 hr, it would be 6 cents, big whoop). In any event, if its that bad, we can import produce, and if farms go out of business, the cost is well worth it because it would reduce the cost on t axpayers for social services that illegals use.
As for assimilation, the 86 amnesty was a disaster in this area as well. The immigrants from this amnesty have yet to assimilate all that well.

"One of the most disturbing photos I've seen. Take a close look."
Yes - the cute little ARAB COMMUNIST on the sign - left side by the mexican flag.
God Bless America!
Could you put me on your ping list?
I'll bet if you burned one of these Mexican flags you would be arrested by a Federal officer on a complaint by the Mexican government endorsed by President Jorge.
Mexican is spelled with a capital M and I think you meant to say illegal, Mexican aliens in the second sentence of your intended sarcasm.
Legal immigrants from Mexico are well received by US citizens. Illegal, foreign interlopers, who depend on the taxed prosper of indigenous citizens for their existence, are treated in a manner which they earned and deserve.
BTW, the html tag for the end of a sarcasm is </sarc>, not [/sarc].
That was the horse!
Sure, it was cheaper by the hour, but still they never should have taken advantage of a city girl like that.....
