IMO, one of the biggest problems with the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" is how totally "Mexican-centric" (or "Latino-centric", if you want to muddy the waters) the proposed legislation (or what we know of it) actually is. According to the Border Patrol, and the officials in the Bush Administration, Mexican illegal immigration is A-OK. Chinese, Haitian, African, Brazilian, Eastern European and (most assuredly) Middle Eastern illegal immigration is a big old "no can do". I guess the old concept of "equal treatment under the law" goes right out the window where "OTMs" (other than Mexicans) are concerned; but, after all, equal treatment under the law was an Anglo-Saxon concept, and we can't have that.
Great. More dimestore paperback sociology from a has-been.
“That is why immigrants — even those who look and sound different, from nearby and far away — come here, often with only the clothes on their backs but a fire in their bellies to succeed.”
It’s not about character or intentions-it’s about legality! Liberals love the letter of the law when the topic is abortion, but haven’t the slightest regard for it when it comes to illegal immigration. More Doublethink.
Are the elites trying to destory the Republican Party too? I know they are trying to destroy America- that much is obvious. Calling me “racist” or “zenophobe,” somehow does not make me want to change my mind. It hardens it and my heart.
I hope she enjoys her slave labor. They’re gonna want more money when they’re amnestied.
Why should the US Government be "fair" to non-US citizens? The US Government has no business being fair to anybody but it's own citizens. If one penny of US taxpayer money is going to support non-citizens, that is one penny stolen. If one public policy is biased to favor the non-citizen over the citizen, that policy is wrong on it's face.
The US Government is constituted by US citizens. It should have no other concerns.
Now, if somebody wants to make the argument that instant legalization of 20 Million law-breakers will somehow benefit the US Citizenry, I guess they are welcome to make it, but I don't think it will be very convincing. Unless they are going to make such an argument, I don't want to hear any blathering about "fairness".
Thats okay, they can sell us back Alta California again.
“Latinos are freeloaders and welfare cheats who are too lazy to learn English. They think Latinos have too many babies, and that Latino kids will dumb down our schools. They think Latinos are dirty, diseased, indolent and more prone to criminal behavior. They think Latinos are just too different from us ever to become real Americans.”
And the point is?
They are sick of non-stop Mariachi music, parking on the lawns, undercutting our fellow workers at job sites, demanding that we accommodate their language, and on and on.
You need to stand up for your fellow Americans not Mexicans.
