The immigration debate is really not a debate at all

There's certainly not much of a debate going on in the mainstream media. I don't hear them talking about the crime rampant among immigrants, the huge cost to American taxpayers who provide free schooling and emergency room care, and the contempt for the law of not only entering illegally but also driving while drunk with no driver's license, no insurance, and then not showing up to answer the DUI charges.

Not to speak of the cultural deterioration.

Amen.

The Arizona State Capital is closing down early on Monday in the face of the Frijolista march. The war is over guys, our side surrendered.

Mayor's voice from Simpsons: "And let me be the first to welcome our new Alien overlords."

Oh well . . . (waving little Aztlan flag listlessly) . . . at least you can smoke anywhere you want.

If our government won't stop this invasion, then we will have to do it ourselves.

Try it, and you'll be arrested by the same fedgov that wants the invasion to continue.

""They're doing jobs Americans just won't do." - GWB" Okay, let's send them to Washington, D.C. Maybe we can get them to enforce the immigration laws that our own politicians won't do.

Or-gee! Maybe they will work, AT the border, to protect the border. Civil servants (Americans) get too high a pay and benefits. Protect the bottom line. ;^) /sarcasm..

Well,, we all do.. Whatever happened to local FR Chapter formation?. The DC Chapter and the Minutemen & JR are doing all the heavy lifting to make a difference while good-hearted FReepers postulate and spin their wheels. Perhaps the organization of Local Chapters can be more emphasized?? I see only scattered reports of a few places around the Nation that even have a group and it indicates to me that not too many are really serious about doing anything but post..

"We are a nation of immigrants. --countless talking heads"

I am sick to death of hearing this bold-faced lie. It's about time I saw someone refute that in print.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I am in the process of moving from California to Scottsdale, Ariz. How do I find FReepers in my new area?
Thanks.

First they'll demand a seperate nation. Then they'll demand reparations.

I would have thought they'd stop him for exercising armed force on illegals. The law's not real big on vigilantism.

But hey guys, keep threatening "civil war".

Really? This nation was not populated (with the exception of the Indians) by people migrating from faraway lands?

Litigation treasure is indeed a significant part of the pro-illegal game plan.

Casa de Maryland, a far-out almost terrorist group in the Washington suburbs is nominally set up to run day labor sites. But it is really a government contractor living off government grants and the profits from successful law suits. It has a legal staff of seven full time personnel who admit that they are changing their focus from helping day laborers to lawsuits against contractors and governments because their is big money there, as the ACLU has discovered.

The day laborers they represent are required to repay them with 5 to 20 hours of labor for demonstrations and protests, and threatening legislators. (http://www.casademaryland.org/Legal_md.htm )

The Montgomery County (MD) schools are giving credit for social action to students who will participate in Monday's demonstrations at the US Capitol. These children will report to Casa de Maryland rabble rousers along with the hordes of illegals that owe Casa hours of service.

These children will be turned over to Casa de Maryland ringleader, Gustavo Torres, who has already made public threats that he and his indentured hispanic servants will track the children of those who oppose their agenda right into their schools and homes.

This was never part of India. The native population was named that by a mistaken Italian captain sailing a borrowed ship full of criminals. It is not a fact.. where the native populations came from or who they replaced. It will be determined, probably, with future science. Possession, of course, is 99% of the Law.

In the meantime however, since I may be a small part Seneca.. get the h--l off MY land!! ;^)..

Woo Hoo! Tom Danehy has a new fan!

Great article and excellent point all through.

I would pay $3 for a head of lettuce as opposed to $1.29 if I knew I was helping to pay for some American kid's date and/or college money.

The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
