How about labelling people as racist and heartless because they disagree with you on policy?
To me, this whole business of the rock and who painted over what when is of very small importance compared to the policy.
Years from now, this matter of the rock will be meaningless.
But a President Perry who legalizes tens of millions of illegals by dubbing them "guest workers" instead of deporting them will be remembered for the next century, as the person who put the final nail in the transformation of the USA from a republic of free people into another Latin American socialist state.
The matter of the rock is meaningless now. It is never right to label somebody a racist, when you know darn well they’re not.
Like I said, it’s not so much Cain’s response that bothered me, it’s Freepers responses that are bothering me. Some of us are turning out to be no better than them.
Not one of the present or maybe candidates is going to round up and mass deport illegals. Not one.
President Ike Eishenhouse was the last to do so in 1953 in Operation Wetback. He deported a little over a million illegals.
In 2009, the United States deported a record 387,790 people – a 5 percent increase over 2008. The deportation rate is down slightly from 2009, but the number of removals is still likely to be more than triple what it was in 2001.
An increasing share of deportees are immigrants who have been convicted of a crime, reflecting President Obama's desire to reorient the deportation process toward targeting criminals. Through Aug. 2, 51 percent of the 294,230 people deported this fiscal year were convicted criminals.
President Obama's aunt and uncle were not among them.
