Such hateful rhetoric will also drive Hispanic voters into the Democrat’s camp permanently.
It’s good to see another poster that is of Mexican ancestry here. I was starting to feel a little out of place
LOL, as if they’d vote GOP ever.
When you call other people names like bigot because they don’t agree with you and La Raza, they’re going to respond.
Even if you have “Mexican heritage!”
Mexico is a mess because of its culture, not because of the genetic makeup of its people.
Having said that, most of the Mexicans that we absorb into this country every year are Mexicans who either vote for the left of center PRI or the even further left PRD. Little wonder when they come over here they feel right at home in the Democratic party.
The majority of Mexicans that we have taken into this country over the past 25 years are people who would not have been able to successfully qualify as legal immigrants into their very own country ( Mexico ). Furthermore, there is no Latin American country that would have actually allowed the Mexican underclass to flood into their country year after year as we have. Period.
Look at how Mexico defends its own border with its fellow Latin American neighbor Guatemala. They have actual soldiers from the Mexican Army equipped with fully automatic rifles. What does that tell you...?
Greeley doesn't know what the hell he is talking about...
No offense intended.
I have respect for a Norteño or caballero who abides by the rule of law, but little respect for the Marxist Sureño agitators flooding in here.
There is a difference and I do know what it is. I have hunting buddies who are cabelleros and they want the wetbacks out of here.
If they want to be Mexicans, they can stay in Mexico. This is the United States and if they want to have allegiance to Mexico, then they can get the hell out.
So what you are part Mexican ancestry. You are an American and that is what matters. I have some German ancestry and I don’t give a crap about the leftist policies of Germany, nor did my family have a problem fighting them in WW II.

I am not of Mexican (or hispanic) ancestry. I think the borders are a mess and I think the US has to get control of them, probably by a combination of expanded immigration, border fence, and permanent expulsion of undesireables (which does NOT include every illegal). These, plus some program to bring people already here into legal status (including taxes and fines) would alleviate the pressure and some of the bitterness you see from people who are just fed up.
That said, the attitudes of many Freepers here is just revolting. Just as it was possible to "hide behind" the issue of states rights to avoid the evil of institutionalized Jim Crow laws, it is possible and it is an indisputable fact that there are many Freepers whose attitudes are hateful, bigoted, prejudiced blah blah blah. What is more, the worst ones will deny it and claim they are just advocates of keeping the law, or accuse you of being a closet lib or worse.
It got amusing, having freepers accuse me of exploting illegals for money (having a business that caters to them, I guess), being Latino, having illegal parents, being some social worker or bleeding heart lib, or any number of things. All because I insist that we treat these people with RESPECT and even COMPASSION even as we demand that the law be upheld (it is possible to do both!). I finally "came out" and let FR know why I find the attitudes here disgusting and revolting. The link is HERE
. I really like FR, having been either here or lurking for years, but it is also home to some extremely bitter, hateful, spiteful, shriveled up moralist jerks. The immigration threads here used to be worse. I don't know whether JimRob expelled them, or threatened them or they just settled down, but you used to find people advocating killing illegals on site, mining the border, booby trapping the border, nuking Northern Mexico, laughing when peoples' legs were cut off by trains,and all sorts of stuff that made me both sad and angry, when I thought of the men whom I personally know.
I know there is a great deal of frustration, but even so, I agree that some of the stuff that comes out of these threads is just plain out of line.
That's because you are out of place. This is a conservative site that does not encourage illegal aliens or their supporters, enablers and apologists.
