Are you kidding me? Our military is the most feared force on this earth. Tell me your kidding.
The anti-Mexican crowd has never known that kind of responsibility. They hate you for your success as much as the liberals. See post 108.
I'm guessing he didn't support shooting border crossers...so that was a plus.
Facing reality is the only way I know how. It's not so bad. You should try it.
You seem awfully angry for someone who thinks their side is winning.
Really angry.
Mexicans are ignorant and spreaders of disease. Pretty much your whole post. Did I stutter?
You are simply wrong. Any business with a substantial workforce is not going to risk the business by not filing a W2 and I-9 for every employee they have. This requires them to pay the employer share of taxes and to withhold the employees share. You simply do not know what you are talking about and you certainly have never owned or operated a business that employs others.
There was an whiny article here in the paper last week about a "poor" illegal teenager that needs a $40,000 surgery (not for a life-threatening problem); his father's "health benefits" at work won't cover it...because he has the job under a false name!
Why would an employer pay into an employee's insurance if they thought the employee would not be covered? That makes no sense at all, unless you think employers are so evil they trick the employee to benefit their rich buddies in the insurance company. Do you even question what you read?
Those who hire them are, quite simply, felons...thieves. I don't particularly blame the illegals...I blame the worthless employers who pawn their business costs onto the rest of us. Furthermore, I blame the unethical, immoral politicians who allow them to get away with it.
I don't blame employers for providing jobs. I thank God some people have the guts to put their savings on the line to start a business that benefits others. I don't blame politicians who do what their constituents demand, and I don't blame voters who return them to office.
No but you might get shot by a drunk redneck in camouflage.

"According to the Gallup poll poster here a few days ago, only 1% responded that illegal immigration was their primary issue."
So! The intimation here seems to be that if illegal immigration is not our number one issue it is irrelevant. Duh!
The war against terrorism is and should be the number one issue with the most of us. But, illegal immigration is a close second. Understandably, many seniors rate their social security benefits number one and many women prioritize the abortion issue.
Most questionaires that I have recieved from politicians feature a pre-selected top five issues poll and ask you to arrange these issues according to your own priority. Incredibly, illegal immigration never makes that list! I take a pen and place it in the number two position. But, I wonder how many perceive this omission and correct it. It is a stealth issue that they do not wish to contend with. We have to keep shoving this issue back in their faces!
Don't be misled, our numbers are legend and we are fed up!
There is a lot of propaganda being put out by anti-American organizations such as La Raza, LULAC, MALDEF, and MEChA, and repeated on FR by people like you.

If you doubt their value, try going one week without driving on any roads built in part by illegal immigrants; eating any food picked, plucked, processed, cooked, served or transported by illegal laborers; using any appliances, equipment, or vehicles which have component parts made in jobbers' shops employing illegal immigrants; entering any building or house built in part by illegal laborers, etc...
Americans did these kinds of jobs before. They can do them again. They don't do them now because illegals are willing to accept wages Americans won't. And no, use of illegal alien labor does not significantly affect the price of these things because labor is makes up a tiny portion of the costs, and that was true even before the illegal alien influx.
The vast majority of Americans realize the contributions of illegal immigrants and don't consider them to be a problem.
Right, which is why poll after poll shows upward of 80% of Americans want and end to illegal immigration and a reduction in legal immigration. Your ideology appears to blind you to reality, it appears. You ought to read Flynn's recent book, Intellectual Morons.
I'm sure ol Mort has a nice condo in another country if his ideology backfires. Nice dependable, docile, inexpensive nannies for the Whores of the OBL, and third world pestilence for the rest of us.
Why don't you just move to Mexico? Sounds like they've already got the exact culture you have in mind. An unlimited supply of coolie laborers --- so much they're desperate to rid themselves of many of them. Why be in the USA where you might have to pay these chumps $3 an hour when you could live in Mexico and pay them $0.30 an hour? And they've got the racial stratification you adore already firmly in place.
Bayourod's Big lie of the day!!!!
Many polls showing Americans know the cost of unbridled immigration.
Nice lawyer-like quote. They file the forms but don't care if the worker is legal or not. They never find out if the person is actually who they say they are. They don't check that. Just that the number "exists".
Why would an employer pay into an employee's insurance if they thought the employee would not be covered?
Of course, it doesn't make sense. But, they do it anyway.
I like the post you have on personal profile regarding the immigration issue. I think it is very logical and very well thought. I hope that you post it as a thread.
No, Fatalis says:
Defenders on economic grounds of the peuculiar institution of slavery =
Defenders on economic grounds of the peuculiar institution of illegal aliens.
Whatever jobs might require guest workers ought to go to a guest worker program for those who've obeyed our laws. Illegal aliens should not be rewarded.
Tancredo has proposed a guest worker program to meet those labor needs without legalizing any illegal aliens.
