In all its cacophony and moments of absurdity, this morning's Today show segment on immigration was a supremely edifying example of the confusion, high emotion and complexity of the immigration debate. Matters reached their Alice-in-Wonderland apotheosis when Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was shown in a Senate committee arguing that illegal immigrants are good . . . 'citizens.' Said Feinstein:

"They pay taxes, their children are Americans, they go to schools, they're good citizens and they're needed."

This was in line with the fait accompli argument advanced by La Raza representative Janet Murguia. She referred to what she estimated as the 11-12 million illegal aliens in the country as "people are working in backbreaking work that nobody else wants to do in this country. We need to . . . understand that they are already part of this country."

The Indians of the Southwest were certainly no strangers to wars of conquest, before 1492.

The Aztlan fairy tale is the biggest joke of all, that somehow in the murky past, the founders of Mexico City had wandered south from part of the present USA, ["Aztlan" in idiot-speak], and therefore all Mexicans today have a claim on the Southwest....

Please, pass me the barf bag.

[Travis McGee]

If you want to help these idiots really shoot themselves in the foot, just get some Mexican flags and paint, "ILLEGAL? GO HOME!!" on them.

They are using their flag as an enemy flag of conquest, in OUR land. That makes it fair game. Burn it. Deface it. Drag it. Stomp it.

Do it when they will see it, and they will go even more loco, totally off the rails insane, in full view of America.

This is OUR country!

[ShandaLear]

It defies explanation.

Sometimes I'm speechless when I hear what people think they are entitled to .Some stupid ass Mexican "student" was on tV talking how HE is entitled to a free education and health care in the US. It's the old nanny state mentality.

"6. Mexicans are a mixture of indian and Spanish or other non-indigenous people.

7. Indians came here from Asia."


Thank you, thank you, thank you! ONE intelligent response to this whole thing!

My TRUE Mexican friends (from lower Mexico) just laugh at this bunch of fakes. My friends actually speak pretty good English (they worked very hard to learn it, but they did!) AND they also speak the true formal Spanish...not the Tex-Mex junk.

As far as American Indians are concerned, most of them are quite proud to use the term "Native Americans". I have no latino/spanish/mexican/indian blood, but I AM a Native American. Why the term 'aboriginal American' is a term they can't use is beyond me. If I walked around saying I'm a white, European/German/Scot/Irish/English/etc./tax-paying/female/blah/blah, do you suppose I'd get extra attention?

Feinstein is a a miserable failure

[AmeriBrit]

I'm sure there's others that have felt like a yo-yo the last 24 hrs with their moods switching from extreme anger to depression, but luckily I've never been one to stay down long.


The result of the actions of f-feinstein and the rest of the Senate committee is the beginning of the end of the Unites States of America unless some bright spark can convince them of something better. No matter how they try to spin it what they've done is granted Amnesty to all the illegals and spit in the faces of all natural born citizens and those who came here legally and worked through the legal channels to gain their citizenship.

What they've done is make the illegal problem worse, something I didn't think was possible as bad as it is here in So. California right now. They've given a free ticket to the millions already here illegally to come out into the open and take the better jobs now filled by legal citizens, and those so-called inferior jobs that 'Americans didn't want' (load of BS) will now be vacant for another load of illegals to use as an excuse to swarm across the border. If you believe f-feinstein, kennedy and clan that there's only 11 million illegals here and they're only doing the jobs 'Americans don't want', how is it $126 BILLION was sent out of the USA in 2004 to the Latino countries, $32 BILLION from California in money orders alone.

"They're good citizens" my A$$! Approx 6 years ago a 4,000 bed prison was built on the edge of our small town here in the desert. It
has already had one addition built doubling it's size, and is at present having a second addition added as it's overflowing again. The population of inmates is 95% Latino illegals........yep! "they're good citizens" f-feinstein. Where do the majority of stolen cars that are seldom recovered end up?.......... Answer: South of the border.

It's a never ending merry-go-round we don't have the power to stop while the brain damaged clan in Washington are in charge of the country.........we must push for TERM LIMITS.

You are a racist, and your arguements are weak.

That'll require stitches!

"They pay taxes, their children are Americans, they go to schools, they're good citizens and they're needed."

Sounds like Presidential material! Blackbird.

[BlackbirdSST]

I actually heard one of the idiots on Cavuto's show yesterday say "Why should an American citizen have any more right to a job than an illegal alien?"

Ummm, there are a few FReeper's that have said as much right here on open forum, particulary on the FRee Traitor threads. Blackbird.

[JeffersonRepublic.com]

I heard Sen. Dianne Feinstein say that Mexicans clean our houses and watch our kids... Bull$#!T

Clean our houses? Maybe those rich liberal A$$#0LES need to create second class citizens to be their slaves. But they are playing a dangerous game. Creating a large group of second class citizens without the same rights as the rest of society is laying the foundation of our doom.

BUILD A FENCE, and enforce the law.

[Doc Savage]

Lets see:

1. Democrats love stupid voters.

2. Mexicans are stupid voters.

3. Therefore, Democrats will say anything to win the vote of Mexican stupid voters.

That about cover it???

[Doc Savage]

You're not only illegal, you're illiterate, genetically inferior, unwashed, slovenly, subordinate, mendacious, pathetic, and greasy! Excuse me, I meant you're Mexican!

[Pa' fuera]

The real enemy is not Mexico. It's the muslim religion. The Mexicans didn't cause 9/11. The muslims did it. You seem to have something mixed up. The Mexicans are simple hard-working people who just want to have a life.

One threat is the Muslims, and another threat is the Mexicans. We should be addressing both threats. Just because a Mexican illegal is not a terrorist does not mean that we should be welcoming him and millions of his countrymen into the US. Why is it that billions of people throughout the world can "have a life" in their own countries, but the Mexicans must have access to the US to survive?

[bordergal]

Notice that she confers the title of "citizen" on these illegals?

Since when did she get that power?

[Pa' fuera]

I don't think many would say Mexico is an enemy.

if you look at the actions and listen to the rhetoric of the Mexican government, you would realize that they are indeed our enemy

[bordergal]

Oh yeah? Look at the crime stats and the racial makeup in California prisons. They're not all "good people who come here to work".

Just ask the ten year old who was raped in a local park recently by two illegals.

[Lizavetta]

"Stolen land"???

Someone needs to remind these numbskulls that the Mexicans stole it from the Spanish, who stole it from the Indians.
