I don't see it as name-calling -- it's just a convenient and fairly accurate comparison to the similar concerns of a historical group. If the comparison hurts, too bad: the context of his use of the term is appropriate.

No, it's not. Know nothings believed that immigration was a danger to the US.

I want the F@CKING law enforced.

OK ... and it's clear that at least some of the folks on this thread are of the same opinion, so the comparison at least sticks to them on that point.

OK, fine -- so do I -- but the question for you is: if you think it does not pose a danger to the US, why would you want/need laws about it in the first place? And if you do think it poses a danger, what separates you from the Know-Nothings in that particular regard?

The law about drilling in ANWR is being enforced, should that law stay put or should it be changed.

There you go, at least you are putting it right where it should be!

And it would be nice to blame the Rats, but our Republican party has been in power for the last 5 years... so whom do we blame? :)

The Illegals just do what they are almost enticed to do... "Hey come here to our side.. we'll give a job," so they come. By the very ACT that the borders are wide open, that in itself gives them mixed signals. Stupid they are not...If the U.S. wanted to stop the flow of illegals, they could. It's that simple.

Ahhh..

Now we're getting somewhere.

Watch the government, they're going to sell you some bullshit fence, call it "taking action on the illegal alien" issue, and pat themselves in the back when they get re-elected based on their stupid, useless gesture.

WE DON'T NEED MORE LAWS, WE NEED LAW ENFORCEMENT.

WE DON'T NEED A FENCE, WE JUST NED TO JAIL THE PEOPLE ENCOURAGING THE BORDER JUMPERS.
