If it's racism --- then why did Silvestre Reyes get elected to Congress by a mostly hispanic district when he became popular for "Operation Blockade" and "Operation Hold-the-Line" which were condemned by the Mexican government? Those were border control measures ---- was he a racist for trying to enforce the border?

Boy the deafening silence to your questions... hmmm could it be people just oppose illegal immigration because it's wrong or maybe it's negatively impacting their livelihoods or quality of life?

When any of you immigration warriors utter the word "welfare", my ears will perk up. That's the source of all illegal immigration problems. That's why people are sneaking in without employable skills or job prospects. That's not a George W. Bush construct, that's a Marxist, lefty Democrat construct. That's what is bringing people accross the border absent paying productive work or any independent living arrangements.

Understanding that the source and solution to the problem lies within the Democrat welfare machine makes you a real boy Pinoccio. Working locally through your county supervisors, school boards and local county attorneys and courts to defeat that outrage is HARD DAMN WORK. That's where the illegal immigration enticement resides, that's where it is funded, and that's where we stuff it. But ... that takes effort. Pffffttt ...

Every immigration warrior here should know EXACTLY - what their State, county and municipality policies are regarding healthcare, housing, schooling, LEO enforcements and other benefits for illegally resident foreign nationals, what the legal foundations for the provision of those benefits and entitlements, what political processes were used to establish those legal foundations, what court rulings if any enable illegal abuse, the cost to taxpayers of these programs and entitlements, as well as ambient costs associated with courts, prisons and other societal burden. If you don't know each of those facts, if you haven't challenged your local politicians and bureaucrats to justify their policies ... you're not serious about this issue. You have no standing to make any comment about your injury here. Nobody here knows those facts. It's all "Jorge"s fault.

It's easier to blame Bush and the Feds. Blame the Republicans. Go to bed pissed, but in a good kind of useless way. The Feds are the source of all your everyday failures and woe. Hallelujah, it ain't you. It's them. That's why I think this entire issue is crap.
