I promised my spouse I would no longer post anything negative about this issue.

I didn't promise my spouse I wouldn't post but this is my last post about illegal immigrants (invaders). Have posted all I have to say about this subject. It is insulting the way President Bush trying to push a bill through Congress to let these people stay in our country.

So it seems you were a hypocrite voting for him, then denouncing him.

Oh, move to the head of the class!

"The phrase about jobs that Americans WON'T do is very unhelpful"

Just one example. A pro-american, hardworking vietnamese who applies for a VISA in vietnam has less than a 5% chance of being accepted because the US has to absorb all the mexican illegals. That's unfair! It's all about cheap labor and paying under-the table.

I see we have reached a level of discourse that might have made the Founding Fathers get flushed in the face as well.

I have never considered myself a Bush basher... heck, I definitely am not a Bot tho either. Oddly enough or not tho, All my presidential votes have been Republican back to '72.

I also know I am not alone in having concerns with some of the issues we face and the direction some would take in addressing them. I am a student of history and seek to know both sides of the issue as best as I can discern or much less handle.

I will not go off on some folks just because I disagree with them and I do not wish to participate in peeing contests as some seem to be drawn to here at FR. But I can be provoked , the California threads are a testament to that. ;-)

All that being said, I have always enjoyed and sometimes marveled at how you and some others here at FR have withstood the ups and downs of the forum and our nation's travails.

I always believed that in the end , the truth is what mattered most. Without it , we are all at a loss to confirm the certainty of our convictions and to validate that our actions are as honorable as they can be.

Some here are sensitive, No, overly sensitive to what is transpiring the last few months on the borders&immigration front. Some are questioning recent and current events and asking hard questions, some are hurling bitter and divisive invective.

I like to try and mix it up a bit from time to time and pick my times to go to extreme very carefully, because I value my place here and I value the opinions of many who don't see eye to eye with me on every issue.



And then there are those who are cheap shot artists, won't debate, only attack, and haven't much of a clue why they feel they way they do, imo. They go with the territory, unfortunately, but probably in most cases are as solid an individual as you would want to go into battle with.

When I see the word appeaser use, I think Chamberlain, I think Vichy FRance, so its not that unusual we see their type here as well. Quick to critique but slow to act or explain what their solution is. That seems to be the democRat theme of late and it may well cost more innocent
American lives as the days go by.

Sooo,, Keep on being who and what you are, it's too damn late to change now anyway for most if not all of us anyway. ;-}

The fact is certain people don't want our border secured. Many of them post on FR.

It's not a fact, it's a lie.

Congress is not even likely to produce a reform bill

I'm beginning to wonder about that now; they have used this politically, but now, after all the street marches, they just may be forced into passing something, because the marches have scared the real people in the country.

And guess who is NOT going to like what they pass?

It's an old socialist dream.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

"How many of these demonstrators really want citizenship and how many just want to stay here without being a citizen?"

Why would they want citizenship? If they got it, then they'd have to pay income tax, pay for their food, medical care, education, etc., etc. like the rest of us schmucks. That's the last thing they want. Right now they've got a carefree life subsidized by the American suckers.

THERE IS NO JOB AMERICANS WON'T DO! There is only a wage that Americans won't work for.


Bingo. Tom Sowell nailed it the other day:

How often have we heard that illegal immigrants "take jobs that Americans will not do"? What is missing in this argument is what is crucial in any economic argument: price. Americans will not take many jobs at their current pay levels – and those pay levels will not rise so long as poverty-stricken immigrants are willing to take those jobs.If Mexican journalists were flooding into the United States and taking jobs as reporters and editors at half the pay being earned by American reporters and editors, maybe people in the media would understand why the argument about "taking jobs that Americans don't want" is such nonsense.

A DU troll couldn't do more damage to Free Republic.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
