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.
I've wondered if the "potential voter" thing wasn't part of McCain's motivation. After all, he is from Arizona, where its rapidly reaching critical mass.
You have it backwards - stemming the tide of the daily invasion is exactly the step the USA should take if it wants to save itself.
Our borders aren't 'far flung' like the Roman's were. Why not explain to us why an open, porous border is a good idea to your mind?
I really don't know anything about George Allen yet. So I'll just ask you part of my litmus test for the candidates. How did Geoerge Allen vote on CAFTA?
I hear you - I was quoting the other guy.
That's because you haven't yet considered all the alternatives. You're locked in a stage where you're still fighting the tide. Once you learn to accept the difference between what you want and what is, then you'll be ready to deal with possible outcomes.
Consider what is commonly voiced on this board: build a wall/fence, deport all illegals, and cut-off all funding and enforce hiring laws to encourage the others to return home. Likelihood of occuring: -0- Result: 20m illegals today, 50m+ tomorrow.
OK, so here they are. Now what are we going to do about it? Accept a rump US with the SW lost to either Mexico or some sort of Aztlan? Or, show just a little glimmer of our forefathers' initiative who built and expanded this country through arms & treaties against the British, French, Mexicans, Spanish & Native Americans?
Btw, private property & contract enforcement aren't end results; they are a core basis of law from which all economic activity results. A Mexico under US rule of law wouldn't be a 3rd world country; it would be a poor province (much like the South was) ripe for improvement.
I looked it up, Allen voted no on CAFTA.
CAFTA is for open borders. With the eminent domain laws coupled with CAFTA we are sunk as a nation. According to CAFTA, we have to treat any foreigner coming to the U.S. just like he is an American citizen. A foreigner will also have the right to seize your property if he wants it to make money. Of course, to me this is all unAmerican. However, it seems some people don't mind secret tribunals, unelected secretariats, unelected ministers.
He voted "NO"! Thank you. He is definitely on my list now.
Whowever is in charge of the Immigration Department needs to be fired for not upholding the law. The USA has been invaded by people who are so sure that they can get away with it.
Are you a Californian? I don't recall the US having an initiative process. Border security and employment law are not being enforced by a Republican president - do you think a Dem will be any better?
Annexing Mexico, however, is so far beyond the realm of the possible
There will be political union with Mexico sometime in America's future - and long before any illegal is ever sent packing. It may not be annexation, but it will be in effect an open border. No different from how it is now, in fact, but at least it will be a 2-way street and the US will get something out of the deal.

He's right.
Americans have become so "open minded" their brains have fallen out.
Have you read the text on CAFTA or just the free traders argument?
Voted YES on implementing CAFTA for Central America free-trade. (Jul 2005)
