Jack Markowitz always makes sense to me.

""We are the motor of this nation!" a speaker harangued the 500,000 who marched in Los Angeles on Saturday. "We construct your schools! We cook your food!""

And we prefer legal immigrants do that. It should be our choice.

""We are the motor tailpipe of this nation!" a speaker harangued the 500,000 who marched in Los Angeles on Saturday. "We construct clutter and overwhelm your schools! We cook spit in your food!""

Good post, ncl.

Don't ya all worry. This illegal immigration thing will work itself out. Our congress will give us a comprehensive immigration bill just about the time Mexico runs out of people wanting to come here. BTW, they have about 100 million people left and only 60% of them want to come here.

"We are the motor of this nation!"

Why not go home and put some of that energy into building Mexico?

[Herford Turley]

Ping!

A middle school girl, 15 from Irving Texas was taunted Tuesday by other students for wrapping herself in an American flag at Kiest Park in Dallas. "My heart is with the Mexican flag and Mexico, but I'm standing on American ground, I'm Mexican American."

These just don't look like potential Republican voters.

The biggest lie, of course, is that they are not indigenous. The pre-Hispanic races have been, for the most part, wiped out by the Europeans (Spanish) who are the ancestors of the protestors. Are they protesting against those of Eurpoean decent? How ironic!

[Auntie Dem]

If the illegals "built" this country our buildings would be made of cardboard boxes and plywood scraps, every city would be a shanty town painted in bright shades of green, red, and yellow.

Well, OK, maybe they did build parts of this country.

If their ancestry is indigenous at all, they weren't this far north.

I'm Choctaw. They can carry their Mayan/Spanish butts back south. If they really want to fight for their rights and against racism, they should go see Vincente.

The Spanish didn't wipe out the indigenous races, the way the Europeans (English Protestants) did in the Northern Hemisphere.

Besides, take a look at the pictures, these people aren't mainly Spanish or any other type of European, they are mostly indigenous.

That is technically not correct either. The majority of them are actually a mix of the two, to varying degrees, much like the rest of Hispanic America (both Central and South). There may be some pure-blooded indegenes in this group of 11 million, not all of whom are even Mexican nationals, but for all of them to claim that, and for us to accept that claim at face value, is ludicrous...
