I call B.S.. No way there are that many, and even if there were, those people do not even come close to outnumbering us folks who want reform.
Wanna bet there aren't that many?
""I call B.S.. No way there are that many, and even if there were, those people do not even come close to outnumbering us folks who want reform.""
while that's true the intensity matters as well.
those who want illegal immigration want it more than those who are against it want to stop it.
you better believe that. Our problem is that we sit silently and expect our government to do right by the ones who pay our taxes and follow the rules. Meanwhile, this trash bangs a bunch of pots and pans and all of a sudden you have Hillary the bitch Clinton saying that the measures in Congress are anti-whatever. I think until we as American citizens flex our muscles in a serious way, we're doomed to be on the short end of the stick.
I agree with you but, when are WE marching?
"those people do not even come close to outnumbering us folks who want reform"
Very true, one short weekend people show up to protest in the street, stopping cities, causing all sorts of congestion, and attention with free news coverage.
But, While for a very long time, 100s of thousands have been protesting peacefully blogging in communities like this with no news coverage as the silent majority.
These numbers do not mean anything.
"No way there are that many, and even if there were, those people do not even come close to outnumbering us folks who want reform."
The only problem with that is 'us folks' respect the law and they don't.. that many people protesting in one place, who obviously don't care about obeying our LAWS is a powder keg.. I wouldn't want to be living in any place that had that many people gathering into what could become a RIOT. They need to be stopped, NOW.
Don't be so sure.
I suspect that estimates of 12 million illegals from Mexico and Central America are way too low. I'd estimate, from data from an INS friend of mine, that there are 24 million latino illegals.
Add them to another 24 million 'nationalist' Hispanics who were born in Mexico/Central America and moved here legal and/or green card, plus 10 million recent immigre's from Russia and Eastern Europe, plus another 5 million from India, Pakistan and various other countries, and I'd say the foreign born are getting pretty dam close to being able to call the shots in this country.
Dont forget the Dem libs policies in the 70s and 80s of automatic Motor Voter registration and "no ID" voter rules, and I'd say the situation is looking pretty sorry indeed, in the southwest border states and in the heavy northeast Dem controlled states. (plus Florida)
My cable TV company already has three, THREE full time Spanish channels and one part time Spanish channel.
Nickelodeon is pushing cartoons in which the characters speak half Spanish half English.
If all these illegals were law abiding citizens simply "looking for work" like many Republicans and Democrats claim, then I wouldn't mind so much.
But take it from a reporter who covers the police beat every night in an urban eastern Democratic state, and I can tell you that there are blocks and blocks, thousands and thousands of unattached young male Latinos who skipped the border and are now preying on people via Spanish gangs.
I've already stopped donating to the GOP, the RNC, and the Bush administration until they pass laws to build a wall, stop illegals, immediate deportation of all illegals caught, plus a host of other much needed laws that will keep America the Euro-centric melting pot which has made us a great nation these past 300 years.
If that makes me a racist, so what. I can live with it, and I EMPHASIZE the word LIVE.
FoxNews estimated there were 25,000.
True, but they show up at the rally, and we don't.
