Meanwhile: Mexico Cheers Passage of Immigration Bill
Like I said: Welcome to reconquista.
I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.
Previous this week:
Free rides for student protesters
How 'bout media guest workers?
Welcome to reconquista
Teddy Kennedy is very happy
Bush's shadow boxing
Minutemen attacked
Bush's open-borders platitudes
This attitude that there is nothing we can do about this scares the crap out of me.
Please tell me what other country has as little control of their borders as we do.
Why do you think politicians care more about about courting the Hispanic vote on this issue? Because despite your reality, most Americans don't see illegals as a voting issue. It really isn't an issue to the vast majority of Americans, but it is to Hispanic voters.
I am losing my will to vote at all. I will probably vote in 06 but at this point 08 seems worthless. What is the point of winning the war against Islam while we give away the country to the Mexicans and the socialists? By amnesty we convert the illegals into Democratic votes. There are not enough conservatives/Republicans/Christian votes to come anywhere near to matching that. And even if legalization is a slow incomplete process, our Republican politicians are still running for that vote in preference to the votes of those who elected them. What is the good of a vote when he electees WILL ignore the majority they have to court a very different majority they are trying to create? The political split in this country is developing to an invincible gap between the voting citizenry and the government they elect. It seems we can only vote for a choice of enemies.
Reconquista Armando Navarro 'Ethnic Studies' Professor at the University of California, Riverside Anti-American, Fifth-Column Menace. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what this means (the immigration bill) is a transfer of power, it means control, and it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century they are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of an Aztlan...."
And this just pisses me off. Seriously.
Sometimes, politicians have to do what is best for the country as a whole, setting aside majority opinion in each of their States - that's one of the more important reasons we have a Republic rather than direct democracy.
An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter, "Want coffee." The waiter says, "Sure, Chief, coming right up." He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere, then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand pulling another male buffalo with the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?"
The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Training for position in United States Congress: Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day."
