You've got to hand it to Americans.
If ever there was a group of people more patient, more willing to turn the other cheek, more forgiving and tolerant – I just don't know who it would be.
Every day now, it seems, hundreds of thousands of ungrateful human parasites rally in American cities condemning their host country's lack of hospitality.
Think about this.
Somewhere around 20 million foreigners have entered this country illegally and stayed here – taking advantage of America's health-care system, educational system, welfare system, taxing its criminal justice system and competing for jobs with those at the very lowest of the economic ladder.
They have taken advantage of loopholes in our laws by dropping babies in this country who automatically become U.S. citizens, despite the illegal entry and presence of the parents.
They have forced Americans to spend hours a year listening to voice-mail operators give them language options. They have forced Americans to pay the cost of bilingual ballots and for Spanish translators at thousands of government agencies. The very character of our once-cohesive English-speaking country is threatened.
These invaders have made it easy for drug dealers, criminals and terrorists to hide behind the skirts of ordinary civilians.
After all this – and after U.S. officials steadfastly refuse to enforce the immigration and border security laws already on the books – amazingly, it is not Americans out in the streets protesting, it is the illegal invaders.
What is it that they are protesting?
The mere threat of action by lawmakers who have been asleep at the switch for the last 25 years. That's what has prompted this uprising by the army of illegal aliens within our midst.
I would have thought by now that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans would be rising up angry, filling the streets and protesting the destruction of their country. But that is not the case. It is the people destroying the country who are showing their strength.
And while these protesters hurl mean-spirited verbal attacks at their hosts – calling them bigots and racists and intolerant – Americans sit back and watch.
I'm afraid most Americans have been successfully fattened up for slaughter. We're just not the same people our forebears were. We're not willing to make sacrifices to preserve our freedom and independence and system of self-government. Washington knows this and has decided you are irrelevant.
As wrong as the illegal invaders are, you've got to hand it to them. They know how to push their weight around, and they are willing to march in the streets to get their way. How many Americans are willing to do that any more? How many are willing to make any sacrifice for the way of life they were given by their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents?
Brave men gave their lives for over two centuries to defend our Constitution, our independence and the right of the people to govern themselves under the rule of law. For what? So that a slow invasion over 25 years could take away everything Americans had so gallantly fought to protect?
I'm sitting here astonished today – watching the latest demonstrations in Phoenix and Dallas and Pittsburgh and all over the country. Thousands of non-Americans with nothing better to do than show their strength, wave their flags, thumb their noses at our laws and dare us to do something about it.
They are darn lucky I am not running the country. I would order mass arrests at these events, forcing every single participant to prove their legal right to be in this country or face deportation.
I keep hearing about how expensive it would be to find all of the illegals and deport them. They are making it very easy for us with these rallies. The fact that no one is even suggesting roundups shows just how far gone our country is.
"Well, we never had a say in the last election. Bush let the UN observers in to watch the elections or as some of you will argue for Bush "foreign observers". While losing our country we got 2 conservative judges (time will tell"
So you think electing RATS would be a better option ?
Bro, I'm on your side. A border fence is neither a budgetary nor technical problem - it's a political problem.
I happen to be one of those types of people that when faced with a situation that is rapidly getting out of control, I say seize the intiative and turn conditions to one's advantage.
Here's two issues that you can take to the bank: (1) no one is going to be deported, and (2) a border wall is not going to be built.
Not because either are too expensive, or that they would be too 'difficult'; rather, neither will occur but through sheer inertia.
Now, faced with this reality, what would you do? Sit back and play defense, or come to the conclusion that a new US, one that includes all of Mexico, is going to have to be created for the 21st century?
Better than the zero taxes we get at the present moment. And a work visa, which is what they're discussing, requires you to have a regular job. Bums get the boot.
There will be plenty of problems, but something is better than nothing.
They simply are not cost efficient, unless it's to some selfish, law-breaking employer--who may or may not pay adequate taxes.
It's less cost-efficient to attempt mass deportation or imprisonment.
No Jim, I don't, but there are plenty of republicans that need replaced...it's a place to start.
How many? Do you think we'll be better off with Pelosi running the House and Reid the Senate? Are we prepared to turnover all the committee chairs and majorities to Democrats?
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
"dump these freeloading politicians that do not have the best interest of America and Americans at heart"
"Do you really think the Democrat voters will dump their guys?"
Is the solution then to keep voting for the "freeloading politicians that do not have the best interest of America and Americans at heart"? Isn't that what's gotten us into this mess?
"Are we prepared to turnover all the committee chairs and majorities to Democrats?"
It appears that the Republicans aren't very concerned about this possibility. At least not the ones that should be.
What do you suggest those of us that are outraged at the behavior of our party do? Rewarding them by ignoring their lack of desire to protect America just doesn't work for me. They need punished(IMHO). I have a very short nose, but I am still willing to cut it off a little more.
If it were that simple, we'd already have done it.
Why yes; let's outsource our food supply to the lowest bidder. That will certainly allow us to maintain our status as a superpower. We've seen how well it's worked with oil.
Well, there is the option that General Trujillo took against the Haitian illegals in the Dominican Republic. Don't think the American people have the stomach for that though...
I suggest we work as hard as possible to elect conservatives. But whatever we do, we do not willingly give up the majority. It could be decades before we ever get it back.
This may sound stupid and I might get my butt kicked for saying it but, I think a "bad" Republican is way better than a "good" Democrat...
