That attitude is realistic. I've heard this anti-illegal argument for decades now, and there are more of them here than ever.
The battle is against liberals, who would love to balkanize these folks and keep them socialist. Vs. making independent conservative americans of them.
Truth be told, I'd love it if they went home. But it just won't happen.
Watch and see.
In the mean time, we'd best make the best of the situation, which is what Bush has been talking about on this issue since he ran for office in 2000.
Otherwise, she really needs to STFU and maybe read a history book or two.
No. Which is why I'm trying to convince people that we don't have to surrender to the multiculturalists and instead we should assimilate these folks.
Because that is the choice. They won't be sent home, no matter how much you and I want them sent home.
Yes, I saw that!
You'd also think folks would want to take a break from the eyestrain around here, which is what I'm going to do right now.

That slide show was very telling and I didn't like the story it told.
The liberals want to reward these CRIMINALS with legal status in our country and thereby spit on our laws, and over 200 year history of LEGAL immigration to this country.
What do you figure is going to happen when you reward a criminal with the vote?
I disagree. It wasn't the switch in demographics but rather the ballot initiative denying illegals benefits, which hispanics interpreted as racism, that made them easy targets for the leftists.
and many of the Catholics in Mexico are sadly influenced by Liberation Theology.
Sadly yes, and the same applies to many Catholics in the US. Nevertheless the social issues win, so it's a plus as long as you don't go out of your way to alienate them.
Done. Thank you.
I put the LINKS up for the two pics in the email, the message in the subject line.
Thank you.
Let me get a hammer and some nails. Our national sovereignty coffin lid is ready to be nailed down.
No you were pointing out that Mexico is more Christian than America. A large number of our politicians who hold your position are closet-liberals posing as Catholics who are using the positions of the Vatican to justify the selling-out of our sovereignty and legal code.
Polling seems to favor tough enforcement, but let's see what happens when aggressive arrests are shown on live TV, along with the constant drum beat of race baiting.
I must reluctantly agree with some here who think that we as a Nation don't have the political will to deport these people, and if we do, lets see Tancredo and those like him win Senate seats.
I wholeheartedly refute this. My family immigrated legally from Cuba in the 1960s. We can't stand what is happening or the fact that we are lumped in with lawbreakers because we're hispanic. My family came here honorably, by the rules of this country, and were proud to become citizens of this great nation. What is happening in CA is a disgrace.
Our biggest battle is against both.
Get real, will you?
Stop trying to make this an either/or argument.
Americans have fought two-front wars before.
REALLY bad analogy. If you think, for one minute, that each and every one of your illegal friends would go through what those people did to get here...you're really off base.

These people are criminals. When you give a criminal the vote, they ALWAYS vote liberal. Wise up now, or conservatives will not have any ground left on which to stand and fight within a decade.
