There is only one group of people with less credibility on the immigration issue than Washington politicians. It is the illegal immigrants protesting violations of their "rights" while parading the Mexican flag and disrespecting the one symbolizing the great nation from which they're demanding favors.
I'm not talking about all demonstrators in every city in which a march occurred. Some were reportedly peaceful and even patriotic. But the hostility of some protestors did more to galvanize apathetic Americans into demanding action on immigration than all the previous alarm-warnings from politicians and pundits combined.
Nothing awakens the sleeping giant like direct threats to her sovereignty and security. And it was hard not to feel violated by the outrageous spectacle of people making demands on the very system they have circumvented instead of demonstrating some humility, if not contrition.
On the other hand, it's not hard to understand their attitude, given our shameful negligence concerning the integrity of our border and the rule of law. We hardly have clean hands either, considering our enforcement laxity and our Faustian bargain to reap the fruit of the poisonous tree by exploiting the cheap labor illegals provide. We don't even have enough respect for our laws to call violators "illegals," insisting on the euphemism undocumented workers.

Good post SmartA!
I have read it - we are discussing it (again) over here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1615230/posts?page=21#21
Whew! I use a lot of lettuce. No, I won't support McCain for much of anything.
Good evening Potlatch...
McInsane, the idiot that he is, challenged Americans to sign up in Yuma, AZ, to pick lettuce for the season, for $50.00/hour. He claimed they couldn't do it. There is a large contingent of protesters, with heads of lettuce, in front of his Phoenix office, today, taking him up on it. Hence, local radio here in Phoenix, dubbed him the McCain Lettuce co.
Thanks for telling me about it, I haven't watched the news in two days and way behind in knowing what's going on!!
I snitched your little smiley basket, it's cute!
I know. I'm kind of up the news, but still not caught up with emails and such. I'm still settling down you know what.
AahhH, LOL, you know it's an honor if anyone swipes my postings.
A bunny from the smiley managerie?? Very cute! Everybody is more busy right now with the Easter weekend. The forum is really slow, don't find a lot to interest me.
I'm not going to be here very long either. I found a real interesting story to read. It was banned book written in the 17/18 hundreds, and retyped from hand written papers. I'm about a third done. When I finish, I'll send it to you.
That sounds interesting, you'll at least have to tell me about it when you're through! That Easter egg didn't have a smiley face.
I gotta say it. MS XP sucks. It's suppose to be a stable system. Well phooey, hooey.
Oh gosh, looks like I said 'smiley' a few times too often, lol, I'm still laughing!!
I like to read mysterys. I read and see enough news and worrysome things every day so when I read it's more for enjoyment.
This isn't a mystery. I'll tell you more about it in a few days. So far, I think the story is really good. But what is really interesting, is the English that was used at that time, to get the author's points across!
We had to memorize some 'old english' stuff in highschool and it's interesting how language evolves.
Looks like I should have put 'ies' on my mysteries!!
The phrases, words and sentence construction has definitely evolved. I saved it in MS Word Reader, and use a a quick launch dictionary quite often to grasp their meaning. Many words aren't used anymore, and many words have the e removed at the end of a word, and replaced with 'd.
