As you all know:
- Future amnesty bills will also be passed and signed, no matter
which party controls the White House and Congress.
- Illegal immigration will continue, at least for quite a while.
- The Hispanic population here is growing fast and will continue
to do so into the foreseeable future.
- More and more politicians will speak both English and Spanish,
as GW Bush does.
- Mass deportations will not happen and to keep people in an
illegal/criminal status -- who are here to stay -- is not a good
idea economically, socially, politically, or otherwise.
- We collectively allowed this situation to happen and we have to
live with the consequences until we can turn it into an asset.
It will take time.
Anyway, voting democrat is every bit as dumb as voting republican. I've been saying that for 20 years. ;-)
And the next election is just 8 months away. I can't wait to not show up.
Same here.
Now, being that you're disconnected from reality, you haven't seemed to understand the fact that poverty is also growing exponentionally in the same general areas that it is also booming. That is, the housing industry is exploding because new neighborhoods are needed for those displaced Americans who desire and Americanized neighborhood. While there's a short-term economic gain, it's really a near-sighted gain, for while the economy is growing a little, more Americans are being forced out of work, social service use is going up exponentionally in comparison to the growth in population, the quality of life is going down, and we're creating a situation that will only get many times worse for the future. This includes all those negative effects; economic, social, cultural, Constitutional, environmental, etc.
Yet, you're too disconnected to concentrate on the long-term.
In terms of the small towns, you're right, these places may not be growing the fastest economically, but they're also not adding that much poverty. Furthermore, these areas are much well-knit, not comprised of special interest groups attempting to war factions between everyone. Lastly, they don't have the negative effects that destroy the opportunity of them surviving into the future, at least culturally and socially. However, as the problems grow larger in those areas which have experienced the invasion, they will later, more than likely, be transported to the few remaining Americanized areas.
Again, you don't seem to get it.
Well Said Old Hickory.
I just watched the O'Reilly segment. O'Reilly was flabbergasted. He got Tancredo to admit that Bush is the guy who was behind this (it was taped before the vote).
They had some idiot who looked and talked like a cartoon socialist, Engel (like, Friedrich Engels?) of New York, in there saying how compaaaasionate Bush was being.
THAT'S WHOSE SIDE BUSH IS ON, AND THE SIDE THAT HE JUST SHOVED UP THE CONSERVATIVE'S COLLECTIVE BUTT.
There is no way Bush is going to be able to sugarcoat this. The one vote margin SHOWS that all they could do was pass it under enormous pressure, and try to contain the damage.
Bush just stepped in a big one. I was REALLY happy to see O'Reilly spend a good part of the segment on this and give Tancredo a chance to tell the truth to the millions of FACTOR viewers.
Out there in dim-land, little troubling bulbs are going off over a lot of people's heads.
I'll give you a chance to answer why you support Illegal Immigration. You have yet to even say the word Illegal Immigration or Alien. After all your posts, I would have thought that you would have tried to use those words at least once, but you haven't. What gives? Oh, you don't want to draw attention to the fact that you have no point, and you want to critize, defame, and twist the situation so that it fits your degenerated view of the world. That's it.
Mass deportations is popular amongst the public. It is not popular amongst the elite. Thus, that is why the elite only provides the pro-illegal side of the argument. The politicians see this and say, "Hey, let's vote for an amnesty, for tightening border control may garner scrutiny".
It's of the establishment, by the establishment, and for the establishment. What is it that Savage calls it, "The Government-Media Complex".
Thank God my critter voted against it. We'll see how he does the rest of his term (his first), but we don't have to throw him out yet... :)
As we say in the South, "That's something nobody's ever gonna know". The GOP absolutely refuses to allow another conservative to run for president under their banner ever again. Wobbly and Dole couldn't do it, neither could Tio Jorge though he did squeak by a winner. 'Course none of those boys are conservatives.
