Scuffle breaks out at immigration rally (Arizona)

A source would be required for someone without common sense.

So, you have no source and you pulled that number out of your butt.

Using you numbers, the total illegal population in the US would have been huge .

They're not "my" numbers, they are the numbers that ANYONE can see by googling "operation wetback" deportations or "operation wetback" deported

I only mentioned the PBS number to demonstrate that some estimations are even higher. Yes, the PBS number is somewhat unbelievable. NONE that I found were anywhere even close to the number that you ou pulled out of your lying, open borders loony butt.

Tonight on Lou Dobbs, the Mexicans were blaming NAFTA for the reason of this huge illegal immigration problem.

Yes. That and traitor politicians who won't enforce our laws.

I hadn't thought of that but an excellent idea! I wonder if our bosses would give us a day off to attend that rally....

Even though I am of Mexican decent, I cannot stand when people from other countries come to America and wave their flags, to me it's a slap in the face to America. I love this country. I was born and raised in Iowa, my family has been here legally for many generations. But I understand why Hispanics specially Mexicans are being alienated from this country. Many times when I have worked at places where there are mexicans who can't speak the language. I refuse to talk to them in spanish, because I tell them that in this country we speak English. I also tell them that they need to be more loyal to this country that has fed them and house them. I have been told to my own people that I betrayed my race. But I get tired of seeing Mexican gangs in California, and such a high percentage of Mexicans in prison in the southern states. But at the same time I know that there are people in this country from Mexico that work very hard and do jobs that you could not pay me any amount of money to do. There is no way I would pick oranges or grapes or work in the farm, that's why I have a degree so I don't have to do labor job. And honestly I don't know any of my friends or relatives that would do that job, most of them won't even work at McDonalds let alone work the farms. My concern is that yes, there is a lot of immigrants in this country, and this country is only so big, we are already over populated in many cities. But how would economy be effected by getting rid of all the workers that work for so little in the farms. Would the farmers have to hire regular people and pay them at least minimum wage, how would that effect their profit, would that mean that the price of produce would go higher.
I think if immigrants want to come in and work and stay and this country, they need to learn the language, learn the American culture, respect our laws, and quit waving the Mexican flag or displaying it in their cars. Because that flag represents Mexico, a country that they left because it didn't offer jobs or a better way of life.
We also need to put pressure on the Mexican government to somehow get them to offer better paying jobs and better way of living. The Mexican government should be ashamed that his people don't want to be in their own country. You don't see many American leaving United States because how horrible life is here.
We're just across the border why can't he see how United States work.

Let's keep calling and emailing our senators, and reporting businesses with illegals to ICE: 1.866/347.2423

Lou Dobbs was called a racist by a Mexican on his show. The Mexican said America was nothing without the immigrants. Dobbs then asked him what the Mexicans would be without the U.S. This is when the Mexican started ranting about NAFTA but never asnwered the question.

Thanks for your link. Let me use it to prove a point.

I often point out that the immigration websites contain a lot of mis-info. This issue of how many were deported proves that.

Your link to a google searh yielded VDare at the top. That article uses the phrase, "possibly a million".

Below that is found a very informative article published in the Handbook of Texas History, which is a very credible source. The phrase that they use, "The INS claimed 1,300,000 though the number officially apprehended did not come anywhere near this total".

"He, somehow, avoided getting hit but others with him were hit HARD. It took 2 rings of police to protect them from the violent thugs who wanted to kill them"

Murder's a felon. If they killed him they would have to be deported, wouldnt they?

Wouldn't it be great if say 22 million people (all native born citizens) stopped paying income taxes for a year, since we can't enforce immigration laws why would tax laws be any different? < /rhetorical? >

I've argued/discussed for that very action here on FR....Many just say "Can't be done".

I say oh yeah it could....one city at a time.

[texastoo]

We all knew that it would come to this sooner or later. We were sold a bill of goods or lied to by two-bit politicians.

[Robertsll]

All this name calling is getting out of control.

It is used now in virtually every "conversation" between a pro-law and order advocate and a pro-amnesty advocate. With the pro-amnesty advocate doing all of the name calling.

[Fruitbat]

Now, why aren't we as protective of our flag/sovreignty as they are?

Our nation is full of neutered citizens who've had it a little too good for a little too long. Most would rather just watch their nation slip out of the control of their grasp.

Just wait 15 years when many of the boomers are gone. You'll see a drastically different America then. Either way, with the proliferation of Islam within our borders, things just can't continue peacefully forever.

They are getting $20+/hr but are being paid in cash/no deductions

That really cheeses me off! My dad worked as a laborer 15 years ago. Even with the union he didn't make the equivalent (even by comparing the amounts to today's rates).

[texastoo]

Traitor politicians! I am afraid we will be looking at more with a few cowards thrown in with them. Our politicians suck!!!!!!

[old republic]

I'm not sure about the total amount of illegals that removed or fled the country during operation wetback, but during the year 1954 alone the program was able to deport or indirectly cause over 1,000,000 illegals to leave the US.

When is the Catholic Church's anti-abortion rally? Sarcasm on....and I'm a practicing Catholic.
