I see history repeating itself. In the 1960s, hippies did not want to be drafted and killed in Vietnam. Although the US leaders really wasted many lives, the hippies would not have wanted to go to any war. They wanted to change the government.
Bob Dylan, The Times they are A-Changin':
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
And sure enough, the legacy of the 1960s includes not only the war protests, but "Free Love," which led to Roe v Wade, gay rights, the 1965 Immigration act, etc.
Now flash forward to 2011. Illegal aliens don't want to be deported any more than the hippies wanted to be drafted, and the pro-amnesty movements seem unstoppable. In that yesr, the Dylan song came out in Spanish:
As Dylan sang, "Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’"
I think this amnesty BOHICA mess shows that the nation has lost its bearings, and things are likely to get much worse.
I know why there is such support for illegals now, besides having O work on it calling them ‘immigrants’ and relating them to my grandparents who came in legally through Ellis Island just after WWI.
The reason is something I been warning about here for many years its : overwhelming LEGAL immigration (non-whites naturally) . And this started long before Obama,
I see it here every-day and my East coast state has been Balkin-ized allowing wave after wave of tax increases and same sex marriage and Dream Act due to these huge voter changes.
And here a large % are Koreans. Didnt the pubbies promise these were conservatives?
When you move so many foreigners in so fast and many jump the system with family visas they are going to be sympathetic to illegals who they see are like them.
Especially those who where raised here as kids who are now young adults. You can forget about sending them anyplace.
And as Obama portrays illegals as the same as those ‘who built this country’ who do we have to counter that message?
Romney? Yep, he was the immigration hawk in the primary.
