Amnesty for Honest Gang Bangers

One of the worst consequences of illegal immigration is the crime some immigrants perpetrate. Illegal alien gang members commit violence across the country -- even in places like Boise and Omaha. They seep into the country, creating cross-state connections rooted in nearly unbreakable, blood-bathed bonds. The statistics show that it’s a huge problem in California and several southwestern states. Now, Congress and President Bush are preparing to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants without providing adequate safeguards against that amnesty being granted to gang-bangers such as MS-13 members.

Unless your graphic is given a date of publication the statistics denoted therein are worthless.

Amen to that!

...it identifies them, puts them on the tax rolls but doesn't give them citizenship. What is the problem with that? They are here already, and there is no hope of sending them all back.

Are you aware that the bill gives the incompetent DHS 24 hours to run a background check before granting Zamnesty? Do you know that the vast majority of those Zamnestied will not pay federal income taxes, but will consume far more of OUR money than they can possibly contribute, through government handouts, public education, healthcare, and crime?

Finally, your claim that "there is no hope of sending them all back," is not an argument. If we secure the border, deport every illegal that comes to the attention of law enforcement, and jail a few corporate big shots that knowingly use illegal labor, we'd see massive self-deportation.

More nitpicking of one little item in the bill...There are probably over a million felonious murderous gang bangers

As McCain would say, 1 million gang bangers are just chickensh@#$ that only hateful xenophobes worry about.

I know, some callers really hit the point with certain subjects, but he spins it by asking them certain questions, that they fall for most of the time, and limits their comments. His demeanor is such that he tries to make people look like idiots when they challenge him on things like this.

He never answers many of the questions, but simply does what you said. “That’s idiotic!” “That is not true” ...and never explains definitively why it’s not true.

I think as long as we have people like Medved out there with their head in the sand the REAL conservatives are doomed.

Medved is also a Rudy nut. Hell he had an entire hour devoted to Rudy when he posed as Rudy to the callers.

“Medved the Trojan Pied Piper.”

I think he’s reverting to his red-diaper origin.

“Must not be any MS-13 in his kids’ schools yet.”

That’s because Medved moved from Santa Monica, CA to some little island off the Washington coast.

Living with the mess he advocates is for little people without big money, not for Michael.

They are here already, and there is no hope of sending them all back.

We send them back one at a time, the same way we catch other criminals.

Speaking of criminals, we can't catch them all, so we should just learn to live with them. Faulty logic used by 6th graders and politicians.
