The immigration debate: Xenophobia beneath it all(FR mentioned)
HERALD NEWS ^ | 07/02/07 | ROGER HERNANDEZ

Posted on 07/02/2007 5:49:41 PM PDT by #1CTYankee

A supposed letter to the editor making the rounds of the Internet (credited to various authors at different Web sites, including "Albert V. Burns," "Rosemary LaBonte" and "Ann Marie Coviello") compares today's immigrants (bad) with the immigrants of yesteryear (good)

Snip

It explains why a poster at FreeRepublic.com inserted the face of Rudy Giuliani in what looks to be an old movie still of a sombrero-wearing bandito and added the caption "Borders? Borders? We don' need no steenking borders." It explains why Giuliani has backed off the pro-immigrant stance he had when mayor of New York City.

And it explains why even some of the most conservative Hispanics realize that all the posturing about illegal immigrants is really an attack aimed at everybody whose name ends in "ez."

Shouldn't that be (illegal) and (legal)?

"What a load, I think the amnesty is a travesty..."

Yup, I've even heard these libs try and use the argument that the American Indians want us deported.

Now there's a logical argument /s

If you’re a Lefty (or you got money at risk) and ya ain’t got facts and reasoning you’re compelled to calumniate fellow Americans. That’s sooooooooooo 20th Century.

Good for you, I wonder how long it will take him to figure out all the emails in his Inbox aren't from fans! ;-D

If we are so Xenophobic, how come they all want to break in here and lower our wages and swamp us? They just want to come here because they want to take our money and land.

ROFL! Poor Gina Lola....

Did those nasty Hispanics lower your wages? Swamp you?

Did they take YOUR money? Your land?

ROFL!!! Sure sound xenophobic to me.

Don't worry about DCProfiteer's name calling Gina, he's known for it (moron, thug, storm trooper, KKKer, nazi...). He's also uber-liberal on illegals and much more an enemy of the conservative cause than a patriot.

We should all resist the illegal Mexican horde. They do want our money and take it in the form of tax-funded health care and education. There was a section of the bill that acknowledged the fact that Mexico wants our money and actually provided for relaxed rules and the elimination of fees for remittances sent there.

Mexicans do not share our values. This is so evident that the very bill itself devoted an entire section to the culture of corruption that pervades Mexico at every level. The section, which I'm certain DCprofiteer did not read, addresses Mexico specifically and posits that unless this culture of corruption is changed then even the proposed measures in the bill would all fail in the long term.

Thanks WTC 9/11, God Bless You.

DCPatriot,

The illegals also have TB and other diseases. Tuberculosis is a terrible disease. I hope you contract it from your illegal friends.

Just because you’re xenophobic doesn’t mean foreign invaders aren’t out to get you.

Honestly, I meant to say, "I hope you DO NOT contract TB from your illegal amigos." Really, LOL!

Pulling the punches as usual eh? ;-D

Moi? Late night. Guess I was a little off my game. I meant to add that the only way to break the pinata open was with a sharp stick via the gluteal cleft. BWAH-HAHAHAHAHA >:-D

And, if his name didn't end in "ez" he wouldn't be on the wrong side of illegal immigration. I'd be against millions of illiterate poor coming here from any country/race/ethnicity, being as disrespectful as the Hispanics have been.
